Well, I haven't given up on this scenario yet! (Though I do need to spend some more time on it. 
)
One concept I've been working on is the possiblity of a Sobieski dynasty as space program - i.e. you research enough political reform text to establish royal elections vivente rege (i.e. build the Apollo wonder), and then it's a race for the factions to get "their" candidate elected. In the player's case, the "home" candidate will be Jan Sobieski's son, presumably his eldest Jacob. (In reality, when the royal elections commenced following Jan's death, Jacob was going to be Austrian's candidate (though stuff prevented this) - however, whether or not Austria will support Jacob or forward a candidate of its own in the scen is up to the AI.
) In trying to figure all the stuff out, I tried to cheat my way into the spaceship race - gave myself all the techs, built the Wonder, but I couldn't get a spaceship built. It's been a long while since I started making the scenario, but I suspect I may have disabled the space race when I first started the "game" upon which I based the map, the scenario and its world. I'd like to hex edit it so I can "go to space" again, but my attempts at hex-editing it myself have ended in failure to determine the problem (is it just me, or does Höfelt's hex-editing guidelines seem not to apply to ToT files?) Anyways, here's the latest .sav file, if anyone wants to determine why I can't do the space thing:
