It looks like it will be a lovely war!

Downloading now!

[ninurta]

Downloading as well. Thanks for crediting me.

I don't like the city placement (Krolewiec/Koenigsberg in place of Gdansk/Danzig, Gdansk/Danzig in place of Szczecin/Stettin),
Perhaps there was no other choice - that's why I don't like world maps.
Anyway, I'm downloading it. I'm sure it'll be good.

ninurta: that's Byelorus' flag, right?

[ninurta]

Yup, it is.



The scenario is now much finer. A brilliant job. While I particularly found strange that I couldn t build bridges from start on, it still is innovative and therefore nice. If youre gonna ever redo it again, rename Marseille to Marseilles and Bruessel to Bruxelles or whatever the Dutch call it. But it is very good so as well. Gosh I wonder how people have the endurance to complete such scenarios!

@curtsibling :
Thanks, matey!

@ninurta :
No problem, and again, thank you! If I ever update, something I hope I don't have to, I'll rename those city names

@Heresson :
Yeah, I know, world map compromises

[:) Smiley]

Graphics are unbelievable. This scenario if any shows the importance of good terrain graphics: it's the bulk of what ya see.

[Cifer Almasy]

Yeah! This looks great!
And I fear it will keep me away from working on my university stuff...

Just one little thing (ah I just posted this sentence a way too often, ask my friend Curt...)

Please dont leave out the Ruhrgebiet!



It is as important than Berlin there is absolutely no permission to leave it out!

I would suggest, move Hannover to 6, 40 an call it Cologne and give it highest production of the entire German Reich.

But please dont feel attacked. Thats the only thing I have to critizise yet.
Anyways your sceanrio seems very promising to me.

PS: Believe me about German citys, I know as I am German.

[curtsibling]

It is true - That area is the basically the heart of Europe.

@Smiley:
Thank you, man! I did not make all terrains myself, so most of the credits goes to those who I "stole" from I have credited the ones I could indentify in the readme.

@Cifer:
I´m very well aware of this area, Cifer The area is represented by industrialized terrain for the city Hannover, if I remember correctly. I don´t have access to civ at the moment, as I´ve just moved to another apartment. And I can only get online sporadicly from the University. Hannover was primarely chosen becasue it's bigger than Köln/Cologne. But to please you, mein deutschen freund ( ), I will move that city and rename it to "Köln/Cologne" when or if I ever update the scenario

[:) Smiley]

I wish history class was taught with Civ scenarios like this one.

[Eivind IV]

I take that as a great compliment, smiley!

But civ, for me, has been a great help in learning history. Especially making scenarios and graphics. I always view it as a history project when I make scenarios. The first thing I do is to browse the net for info on the idea I have. Read articles and look at various info. Then I go to the library, bringing back tons of books to use as sources. So it's a lengthy progress, but a fun one. You learn so much more when making historical scenarios, as opposed to the tings you learn with a traditional history project for your teacher. One may argue on the importance of civ related historical work ( ), but it's quite fun to know details such as what weaponry was used, how the uniforms was tailored, how the infrastructure looked like at the time, detialed order of battles, city styles, the world's exact geology, etc. It's also nice to get a visual look at how big the armies and such was. All in all, making scenarios is fun. And what's just as fun is to play them afterwards, and getting feedback such as this .

My conclusion? Civilisation II-ogy should be a mandatory international history course!

Thanks mein norwegischer Freund!

Well perhaps Hannover on its own is bigger then a single city there, but The Ruhrgebiet is the biggest inhabited region all over Europe. There is Köln, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Bochum, Duisburg, Essen almoust existing side by side - if you would want to put them on the map- all these citys of 0,5 - 1 Million inhabitants would be on the same square. So if you look at them as one single city, it is the biggest all over Germany.

Thanks for changing it to Cologne
