Reply With QuoteWe need a good Israeli war scenario - I vote for the 1948 option.
Alternate 1920s/30s (A)
Alternate 1920s/30s (B)
Venezuelan/American-British/Guianan War
Israel 1948
The Crusades
I know that it's best to work on one project at a time, and US Civil War 2013 has a way to go before it's complete, but I was thinking of several potential Civ II scenarios I might make...
- Alternate 1920s/30s (A): An alternate past where the US entered World War I on the Allied side, as historically happened, but Germany still managed to win. As part of the victory (in some way or another), Mexico gets what Germany promised it in the "Zimmerman telegram" - the US states of Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico (and maybe a good chunk of California.) There may or may not be a Mormon buffer state in between Meixco and the Union (capitaled, of course, in Salt Lake City.) The scenario, which would take place sometime after World War I (somewhere in the '20s or '30s) would be in North America and would be about the goings-on in the place, including, of course, the possibility of a US campaign to tkae its old territories by force.
- Alternate 1920s/30s (B): The same as above, but on a global scale, including a defeated France and Britain, Communist Russia, a large colonial German Empire (including many British and French territories taken), and so forth.
- Venezuela/Guiana, 1896: In 1895-96, Venezuela and Britain (who owned the colony of British Guiana) nearly engaged in war over a territorial dispute in Guiana. Had war broken out, the United States would probably have entered the war on the Venezuelans' side. As it turned out, the US and Britain came to terms, and war was averted. The scenario would be about what if it the war happened.
- Israel, 1948: The Israeli War for Independence. One Jewish nation against all its Arab neighbors. Historical scenario.
- Crusades: Several centuries after Islamic forces take Jerusalem, Western Christendom decides to take it back.
So, vote now (and, preferably, explain why you voted that way!

we already have some of those (Exile knows it well) but...
... Crusade scenarios never enough

I want both Crusades AND Israel 1948!
I guess I would love to see a Crusades scenario as well!

@ Ghost ofDisco... everybody want to turn you mad... or to charge you tons of civ-work...

well, if I think better... Venezuela-Guyana is a nice original idea, too...

Agreed, but I chose the latter. All the Israeli-themed scenario are pretty old, no?Originally posted by Arthedain

Crusades are difficult... Bernd Brosing's Cross and Halfmoon (i translated it from German

One suggestion maybe, make both Israel 1848 and Crusades - which take place on the same map.
btw, there is already a nice - and rich - scenario focusing crusades in Holy Land: "Outremer" by Heresson (3rd crusade)... Another scenario about Crusader Kingdoms in Palestine is really too old... quite vanilla-style IIRC...
Last proposal... : a fictional Israelian crusade in Venezuela in the '20s/30s ???

Israel ?
mmhh.. can be politically delicate and/or biased.. and i dont wish terrorist attack this forum then..
and crusade ? well..maybe this give less problem to muslim.. as they like so much to win..
I prefer Crusade.. and maybe to make it different.. a very TACTICAL one, depicting just the Holy Land..at Saladin time..( a great King btw.. ).. focusing on administer of land, fief, water...
Yes, they are. However, there are few scens that can rival the Israeli desperation during the first 10-15 turns of Exodus II. BTW, there was a very interesting Exodus II Democracy game a few years ago on this forum.Originally posted by Michael Daumen

The scen was developed in 2001 but it has aged very well.

Thanks for mailing'em mate. Most appreciated. Will try them out.
Seems I used to have Outremer . . . but don't anymore.
Mail me a copy too.

thanks, Gagliaudo.
Outremer kind of sucks. I was only learning how to make scns back then. It has a nice map, though, and the game can be fine, but it has a horrible background, horrible events, no tech-tree and dumb special units use. I was making a remake of it, but I've never finished it.
I'm supporting the idea of a crusadial scenario

Glad to meet you here
well, maybe this reborn interest around your old Outremer could stimulate some talented civer to begin remaking it... perhaps joining you in restyling...
and... Crusades at the 1st (temporary) place in this poll !!!
