    I didn't have much time last night but opened it up to take a look at it. I liked the horses on the island.
    In your game, did the any of the AI's ever go to war with each other. Or having them all at war with you make them buddy buddy?

      I didn't pay very close attention to the AI beyond the waves of troops sent to destroy me. But I think they were all buddy-buddy.

        Need minimum 4 axes, 4 archers (1 each per entrance) and 1 warrior. Add 1 GG to each axe and promote upwards...later on double the GG defenders.

        TBH I don't really think this scenario is all that defendable, because you need to keep 4 separate stacks to defend each entrance. The land is pretty crap as well (way too many coastal tiles for my liking) and you have the risk of being boated. Later on you'll need an airforce as well because the AI can settle real close, and you always need the SDI. And you'll get constantly targetted by spies.

          All part of the challenge.

          Though the water tiles are pretty damn good if handled correctly.

            Too much would vary from game togame in the AIs...and nothing can vary on the part of the human, if they want to win. If they want to survive...meh.

              8 Aggressive Civs, Always War, OCC? I'm not sure if I could win that even on Noble.

                  Help. I put the file in the right directory but I have no idea how to load it.

                    Go to single player and then "play a scenario". It should be listed there as "Survival Challenge".

                      I did exactly as you told, but it doesn't show in the scenario list...

                        Aha, I found out. It's supposed to be placed in the 'My Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\Saves\WorldBuilder' folder

                          Ah, strange, I thought it would work in either folder. Thanks for figuring it out.

                            840 AD on my first try. But I usually play on noble/prince, so I had a lot of difficulties with my finance/research, despite having a rather good start. 6 Great Generals (thanks to my great wall )

                            I do have a better idea of which techs to beeline next time. I'll probably try again soon!

                              In all honesty, save games can be put anywhere. To open, double-click on them. Don't go into the game and use load... waste of time. Windows is smart enough to know which mod to run.

                              Anyway I'm 1800AD on my first try. About 14 GGs so far. Haven't had too much trouble. It's pretty straightforward how to do well. This game is built for a drill army. So, basically, simply build archers, promote combat until cats show, then promote drill.
