Hey none taken. Fairline`s knowledge mixed with graphics ability turned this scenario from less than mediocre into a really cool one.

Fairline if you could do this in a short amount of time. Given plenty of time there would be no stopping you.

As soon as I hear from other designers comments, I
will do some final tweaking.

Once I fix the problem of Civ unique units and final tweaking, is there anything else I should do before final release?

Looking good!

This looks incredible, I'll have to try it soon!

May I suggest to maybe replace the "grassland ressource dot" by a tree graphic, so that the flatlands don't look to empty?

Good idea Cyrion: how about an olive grove in place of the grassland resource shield?

Exactly what I had in mind...

Fairline-

the AI cannot build some civ-specific units (turn cheat mode on and check out the build lists for Philistine cities for example).

DO`H- when I uploaded the scenario I forgot to give back the tech for civ-unique units to the Philistines and Phoenicians. I will upload the fix so everyone can get a true playtest in. Iwill post it soon.

This will allow the Phoenicians and Philistines their tribe tech and build their units
It was a conspiracy by Israeli operatives.

It is a good idea. I am going to be away from my pc awhile so It will be sometime.

This is one of the most original scenario subjects around, perfect You know what I'd really love though? A scenario about the Exodus, with extracts from the scripture as prompts.

I tried to stay away from the scripture as part of the game. I did use it as a base to create the scenario as David`s story is only found (at the present ) in the Bible. I did include some Bible quotes in the notes txts.

The exodus would almost have to be included under the heading of religion scenarios. It might be fun to have walls fall down at Jericho with maybe a trumpet blast ( mushroom cloud) but I doubt if it would fly as a scenario, it might not even flap its wings. I will think about it for all us uninformed Bible thumpers -who have a mountain of archaeoligical evidence.

"The benefit of the doubt is to be given to the document itself, not arrogated by the critic to himself"- Aristotle

This scenario on Israel is pure political and military. Everyone that plays here can sink there teeth into a good wargame even if it did come from the Bible.

Does anyone know why the scenario editor will not work on windows XP?

Final version released - thank you Fairline. You are truly talented and were a great help in many ways. This scenario looks 10 times better.
