Mechcommanders of Age of Wonders: Planetfall
« on: 21 September 2022, 23:22:16 »
I was told that these posts belonged in here

As per my usual practice of basically every game I play, somehow being played in the same vein as official Battletech games, I have found that Age of Wonders: Planetfall can hit a pretty close mark to Mechcommander "3" if you apply imagination and correct naming for units, commanders, cities etc.

I am starting this thread to show case the commanders I have created to play and also versus as AI opponents. Enjoy (Short comments are welcome) 8)

Starting off, Khan Jiyi Chistu of Clan Jade Falcon, Sudeten, Jade Dominion 3152

Please reduce the width of the image.  It's just a small addition to the img tag.

Basically, you just add " width=800" to the first img tag.  Quote this post to see the code.  It looks like this:

The first bracket should look like [img width=800]
* No, FASA wasn't big on errata - ColBosch
* The Housebook series is from the 80's and is the foundation of Btech, the 80's heart wrapped in heavy metal that beats to this day - Sigma
* To sum it up: FASAnomics: By Cthulhu, for Cthulhu - Moonsword
* Because Battletech is a conspiracy by Habsburg & Bourbon pretenders - MadCapellan
* The Hellbringer is cool, either way. It's not cool because it's bad, it's cool because it's bad with balls - Nightsky
* It was a glorious time for people who felt that we didn't have enough Marauder variants - HABeas2, re "Empires Aflame"

Exactly what Worktroll said.  It's inside the first img tag.

The link also has a lot of junk, so many people will not even see a picture.

Everything after .jpg looks to be just junk.

Even right now I can't see the picture in the OP.

Even right now I can't see the picture in the OP.

Unfortunately, that extra text is necessary.  I have hyperlinked to the image both with and without the text

With 'extra'

Without 'extra'

When I click on the hyperlinks, I can see the image in the first link, but not in the second.


Also, I can see the picture in the first post just fine.

Can you copy the image to a dedicated image sharing site (such as IMGUR), and use that to share the link?  That might be able to help

Code: [Select]

Once you upload the image to imgur, right click on it and choose "copy image location" or "copy image URL" and then use the above code to post it like it shows.

Tod und Verzweiflung flammet um mich her!
Fühlt nicht durch dich Jadefalke Todesschmerzen,
So bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr!

I don't use IMGUR, so no step by step from me there,  but did use to use photobucket, till it started going squirrley on me.  I use Postimage now, but it does really make a difference what link you feed in.   
Format image size before hand, upload, and it's direct link that goes between the img brackets on the forum.

IMGUR has been going down hill for years, I would recommend using another image host. Allot of sites are bottoming out competing with the big four social media apps for ad rev but better options exist.
