scenario question / request

[ucla_vince]

I don't know the first thing about creating scenarios, but I had an idea about a game that I'd like to play, and I was wondering if this scenario existed or could be made...

I'm thinking along the lines Colonization. The major European powers already exist in accordance with historical accuracy, say France, England, Spain, the Dutch, etc around the 16th or 17th century, each having settlers in the Americas. You start as a settler in the new world, with access to most of the technology already known by the European powers. Perhaps you even have to pay tribute every turn to your "Home" country until you decide to declare war against them and stop paying tribute (declare independence). But I'm not thinking along the lines of playing out a historically accurate revolutionary war scenario or anything like that. I looked through the completed scenarios but didn't see anything that was exactly what I had in mind... has someone made something like this already?

Thanks

It would be a lot of work for one person but it could be done. You might be able to set up the 'tribute' as a trade agreement that exists as the game starts. Check out steph's mod at CFC it sounds similar.
