SCENARIO: Nationalism: Loyalty and Bloodshed

[ElConejo]

-----------------------------------------------------
The Industrial Revolution has begun! All the nations of the region are trying to build up an industrial base to fuel the changing economy and world situation. Nationalism has struck the peoples of the entire region. National pride and nationalist ideals are sweeping the countries and has started a war in the west between the Stoudalans and the Tesshians. Mainland civilizations are now in a resource race and the new military build up has begun! Most of the new governments in the area are expirencing economic problems, and the transition from agricultural based and industrial based economies is underway. The entire region is ripe for a international war that will wash the ocean in the blood of the brave nationalists fighting for their country...
-----------------------------------------------------

I made this scenario because I wanted to have one where all the civs start out in the Industrial Age and have their nations more or less carved out already. Two of the players are at a locked war against one another. They are relatively small and both located on islands. NONE of the civs have any units to protect their empire, but they all are gifted one army at the beginning of the game. This will be of interest when the trade-off of defense against the troubled economy arises.

I am sure that this is no difficult matter for most of the Apolyton Civers, but I just like to share my work and see if its playable to anyone beside me. Personally, I think its a really neat setup. I will post the full list of modified options after I post the scenario itself. Hope you all like it!

[ElConejo]

Each nation has varying strengths and has weaknesses as far as location. Try a few to see what you like the best. Also I named each of the civilizations so that they would be different from the RW counterparts. I also gave each nation in this scenario a third trait.


The nations are as follows:
NAME//////CIV////////Starting Government/////Traits (caps are new trait)/////Color (see map)

Ionites (Ottomans) ---Fascist---Ind/Sci/MIL---Gray
Metratans (Greece) ---Communist---Com/Sci/IND---Dark Green
Stoudalan (Babylon)---Monarchy---Sci/Rel/SEA---Red
Tessh (England) ---Monarchy---Sea/Com/SCI---Blue
Minitha (Vikings)---Republic--- Sea/Mil/AGR---Dark Brown
Tistanol (Persia)--- Monarchy---Sci/Ind/AGR---Light Brown
Trikor (Celts)---Fascist--- Rel/Agr/MIL---Light Green
Czepian (Mongols)---Communism---Mil/Exp/IND---Yellow

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.4
Name changed to Nationalism: Loyalty and Bloodshed
Unique Units have been added, the map changed a bit to give some more reflection of power struggle...

The unique units were further updated in the next version.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.5
1.5 has some major changes:
Map has been revamped a bit to create more balanced play
Unique Units for ALL Nations have now been added!

I have changed the picture in the above post to reflect the new map, the changes to the map have (like most other changes to the map settings) been in the name of balance.

Here are the Unique Units:

Ion: The Ionite Nationalist
Cavalry Unit with +2 Attack

Metrata: The Metratan Defender Carrier
Carrier unit with +2 aircraft transport capacity

Stoudalan: The Stoudalan Invader
Cavalry unit with +2 Attack

Tessh: The Tessian War-Frigate
Frigate with +2 attack and +2 bombard

Minitha: The Minithan Loyalist
Riflemen unit with +1 Defense

Tistanol: The Tistanol Desert Hawk
Jet Fighter with +1 Movement and +3 Bombard strength

Czepia: The Czepian Vanguard
Infantry with +1 Defense

Trikor: The Trikorian Liberator
Infantry with +1 Offense


*PLEASE NOTE* Now with the new units added to the scenario, the scenerio comes with a folder called NLB (Nationalist: Loyalty and Bloodshed), which has the nessassary changes made to make the units run smoothly. If there are any problems PM me or post on this thread. Enjoy!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.6
Major unit changes

Field Spy - invisible no attack no defend unit with radar and detect invisible - Excellent for spying on friend or foe. Hidden nationality.

Saboteur - invisible 10 bombard no defend no detect invisible.

TOW Infantry - now requires alluminum to build

Lowbowmen - upgrades to musketmen

Guerilla - removed from upgrade chain. Given stealth attack, ignore move on Jungle and mountain. 8-4-2 Bombard (3)

Modern Guerilla - upgrade of Guerilla, given invisible trait as well as other guerilla traits. 13-10-2 Bombard (3)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.7
Minor unit changes

I messed up something in Version 1.6, Modern Guerillas came into the scene with Replaceable Parts when normal Guerillas should only be available.

Another thing I did was made Modern Guerillas able to upgrade to TOW Infantry. This is to ensure that powerful nations (with Alluminum) dont use Guerillas and that once a nation has aquired said resource they can upgrade their units.

Also brought the attack level of the Modern Guerilla down a bit, as I felt it was a tad overpowered. Guerilla units are meant to give some strength to the nations that dont have Rubber or Alluminum or Oil. These units are supposed to fight and hold their ground against other units.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.9

Gave rubber to Czepia

Linked all luxuries and strategic resources

Hopefully 2.0 will yeild a MP version.

I've played this scenario through so far, and I have to say (at least for me) it actually has been quite a challenge! Its the first time in a while that I have been at the edge of my seat for a Civ game.. its not as easy as it seems... I have lost some wars and quite a few wonders that I was sure I would have won... I urge anyone to try it out and give me some constructive feedback! Its alot of fun once you get into the nation your playing!

P.S. I think that what rocks it is that the rival nations are actually quite competitive!

[ElConejo]

UPDATE: Version 1.4

UPDATE!

Version 1.4

Unique Units have been added now. Post above has specifics.

[ElConejo]

Name change?

I am working on renaming the scenario just simply:

Nationalism: Loyalty and Bloodshed

[Metra]

Is the metratan UU still in these?

[ElConejo]

Not at the moment, I am looking into ways of implementing it without losing the standard unit I'll get it in there! (hopefully along with a UU of Czepiania and Trikoria too)

[ElConejo]

UPDATE: Version 1.5

Well as it states in the above post, I succeeded in creating a Unique Unit for each nation. I will be playing a trial of it, so if anyone has any problems or questions PM me or post here!

[Ming]

Thread name changed per directions from ElConejo...

From - Ocean of Blood: Age of Nationalism
To - Nationalism: Loyalty and Bloodshed

Enjoy!

I always admire people that under take these projects. I have not played any of the scenarios that came with the game or any of the mods posted, but I do enjoy reading about them.

I just stick to the standard stuff. One thing I was wondering is why the AP? I fell that is a vehicle that makes civ less enjoyable. Settlers and workers just fly out of cities even in the AA. Now with IA cites it will be even faster.

Anyway good luck.

Well, I like AP personally, but you bring up an interesting point, maybe I will make one without it and test it out, see how I like it. But if your feeling open to discussion I wouldnt mind hearing some reasons why it makes it better. Does the fewer amount of units (because settlers arent being made in this scenario and each nation comes with 10 workers) like military units help the feel of the campaigns? IOW Is it nicer to take cities and wage war with or without AP and why?

*Like I said, I am completely open to suggestions and constructive comments *

[vmxa1]

It may not matter in this one as you do not make settlers and workers. In the few AP games I played (others posted them), I just found it annoying that you were making settlers so fast that you had a hard time keeping track of where they were headed.

I am not sure if the faster builds for units and structures will be an issue or not. So for your scenario, it probably does not make a big difference.

Well in my tests of the game, I am aware of the fact that there are plenty of Stacks of Death both offensive (attacking my cities) and defensive (protecting their cities), and they are quite interesting to have to send massive amounts of units into to take or defend a city. If I turn off AP do you think this will change?
