ww1 scenario idea

[Patine]

and finally, i need a good map of europe, and i need to make the barbarians at peace with everyone else, (that way spain will stay put, or i can just make spain a big hunk of unuseable land,

Make Spanish barbarian units immobile, and start Spanish cities building that unit (barbarians won't change production mid-game).

There may be a title in the "Lions led by donkeys" quote. Also, you might work in a "Flander's Field" reference. However, on reflection, both of those are oriented towards the western front. "The Great War" is historically accurate, and has a touch of irony these days - similarly "The war to end all wars". Perhaps you could go on from your "clash of monarchs" to mention that 3 of the 4 monarchies didn't survive - "graveyard of monarchs"?

How should i distribute the armies, 1 unit=20,000, 1 unit=50,000?
also, convoys should be a strategy, not a unit.(don't stack the transports )

i think serbia and montenegro will be russian cities with special balkan troops

In my unfinished ww1 scenerio they are italian cities.

[Broken_Erika]

so serbia and montenegro will belong to russia, rumania will belong to italy,

[Broken_Erika]

here is the map of europe that i will use as reference

[Broken_Erika]

the rumanian objective is to take transylvania, the serbian objective is to take bosnia and croasia, the french objective is to take the lost provinces of alasche and lorraine, the austrian objective is to smoosh serbia and montenegro and snatch a part of russia, thre german objective is to take poland and the baltic states, the russian objective is to take all of germany and austria-hungary, the italian objective is to take some parts of austria hungary, the turkish objective is to take rumania, greece, albania, egypt, libya, crimea, the caucasian mountains and restore the ottomon empire to it's former glory.

I would suggest making Portugal an Italian territory, too, as they didn't enter till around the same time as Rumania. Greece should be British, though, and Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Albania, and Scandinavia should be barbarian cities garrisoned by and building immobile, defensive infantry units.

[Broken_Erika]

i'm wondering if i should make an irish guerilla unit,

[Broken_Erika]

and how did La Belle Epoque get it's civ-Specific infantry,

[Patine]

I don't know how they did it in that scen (as I've never seen it), but most people do unique units with either prerequisites unique to that civ, or an obsolescence given to all other civs, both with a 'no, no' requirements. If you are still curious, send me a link to where I can find 'La Belle Epogue' and I'll reverse engineer it, if you like.

[Broken_Erika]

i'd ask in the "la belle epoque tips and suggestions" thread at cdg but they are about to delete all of their threads in order to move over to their new site.
