help produce a scenario at 1 C.E.

[Mars]

Please help me produce an historcally accurate scenario at 1 C.E.

These are the Empires I have so far

Key - Civ(Area in which civ is) - Leader(UU)

1) Roman Empire(Mediterranean) - Augustus (Legion)
2) Han China(China) - Liu Xiu(Crossbowman)
3) Parthian Empire(Iran) - ?(Horseback Archers)
4) Gupta(indian) - ?(War Elephant)
5) Germans(Germany) - ?(?)
6) ?(?) - ?(?)
7) Japanese(Japan) - ?(Ninja?)
8) Funan(Burma) - ?(Archer)
9) Bantu(Africa) - ?(?)
10) Olmec(Central America) - ?(?)
11) Inuit(Alaska and canada) - ?(dogsled?)
12) Arabs(Arabia) - ?(Trader?)
13) Anasazi(North America) - ?(Brave?)
14) Meroe(Sudan) - King Piye(Trading Ship)
15) Huns (Mongolia and Kazakhstan ) - ?(Hun Horseman?)
16) Armenia(Armenia) - ?(?)

Those are all the ones i got. The ones with (?) are ones i'm not sure on, or could do better on

I plan on making it so tha there are only 5 or so good playable civs with a few more challenging ones illustrated by their (?) (Rome, Parthian, China, India, Olmec(?), Japanese(?), Huns(?), Pelopanisans(?))

[Pseud0nym]

Just as long as you don't include the isrealites and give em a Jesus unit.

[Pseud0nym]

Wait... 1 CE? That would make it a baby Jesus unit...

[Lorizael]

Oh what, a Jesus unit would be awesome!

It could spread propaganda like a spy, would have an attack of zero (of course) and could move on land and water like Civ II helicoptors. It would also heal faster than normal units!

I think if you want a 1 c.e. scenario, you shuold focus on the eastern hemishphere (not america) just because you could add more detail to that area. Afterall, we didn't discover the Americas until 1492, well after this scenario would end (I assume).

[Mars]

My point is to allow people to expand farther. Its not supposed to be limited but the whole world. Its just supposed to give people a starting point.

Jeeze, where is everyone, usaully people are posting all over these things but there's only 3.

Re: help produce a scenario at 1 C.E.

Well, I'll try and help you out a little bit.

> 8) Southeat Asia(?)

This would have to be Funan. The most important SE Asian civs came around in Medieval times, Funan is pretty much the only thing close to a civilization in the time period of your to-be scenario.

> 9) African Tribes(?)

Sub-Saharan Africans were still hunter-gatherers around this time, not even close to a civilization, but if you want to have anything as a civ it should probably be the Bantu.

> 10) Ghana(?)(or what ever trading empire was in west africa at the time)

See above, around 1 AD there was nothing even remotely resembling a civilization in West Africa. Berbers are probably closest to what you're looking for.

> 11) Inca(?)

The Incas didn't come around until 1200 AD or so. There were some primitive civs around Lake Titicaca but AFAIK little is known about them.

> 12) Inuit(?)

I don't have a clue about Inuit history so I can't comment on this.

> 13) Aztecs(?)

Like the Inca, the Aztec appeared on the Mesoamerican theatre only around 1200 AD. The Olmec were the dominant civ in this region around 1 AD.

14) Native American Tribe (?)

The Anasazi civilization started to rise around 1 AD, I don't know any other Native American tribes that are mentionworthy from this period.

> 15) Arabs(?)

There weren't the great civ they would become from 600 AD onwards but they did already exist and would be a good choice to fill up the Arabian peninsula.

> 16) Freebee

Meroe might be an interesting choice to fill up North East Africa a bit more. Northern Asia & Eastern Europe (roughly the territory that used to be covered by the USSR) is still a bit empty but I'm not sure what it could be filled up with. Looks like a good list...

[Locutus]

Just had an idea: North Asia could be filled up with the Scythians in the west and lots and lots of barbarians in the east...

[DarkCloud]

Since possibly only the Inuit were in North America at this time; just put either Mississipians and/or Anasazi (I think they came in 100-1200), however... or you could put some barbarians [Merely to simulate nomadic herdsmen]

[DarkCloud]

... and crop growers (mostly the latter)

[Saint Marcus]

Sub-Saharan Africans were still hunter-gatherers around this time, not even close to a civilization, but if you want to have anything as a civ it should probably be the Bantu.

How about Ethiopia? They had a more or less developed kingdom that traded with the Romans.

[Locutus]

DC,
I'm not sure about the Mississipians but as far as the Anasazi go, it's not quite certain when exactly they arrived in what is now the southern US. Estimates seem to range between 300 BC and 200 AD, which would make them an excellent choice for a 1 AD scenario. But you're right, a lot of Barbarians will be needed to fill up some gaps, in North America and in many other places.

Mark L,
No, Ethiopia (or rather, Aksum) came to rise around 100 AD, so this scenario plays 1 century too early for that. Aksum's immediate predecessor was Meroe though, and I already mentioned them as a good alternative. But still, I'm getting the impression Mars wants to fill up the whole world with his choices and Meroe and Aksum were both fairly small kingdoms in the north of Africa (today's Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia), that would leave a vast portion of Africa empty. The Bantu's would eventually covered pretty much the whole of Sub-Saharan Africa (though I'm not sure how widespread they were in 1 AD), so that would probably be an even better choice. A combination of Bantu, Berber, Romans, possibly Meroe and some barbarians would fill up the entire African continent nicely.

6) Aborigines

The Aborigines didn't build any cities, not then, not ever. I'm not sure how you could implement them into the scenario. Maybe you could fill up the entire continent with barbarians, and have a Polynesian civ, they were out to colonise then, and they finished when they reached New Zealand in 750AD. Be a good challenge...

[Locutus]

Mongoloid Cow,
True, but adding Polynesia also is historically inaccurate because with the tools we currently know about we can't edit the AI and get the Polynesians to spread out the way they did in real history, one would need a scripting language or something similar for that Whether you use Aborigines who live in cities or use Polynesians who expand in a very historically inaccurate way or not at all (and who live in cities, Polynesians never built cities either) makes no real difference as far as historic accuracy is concerned, both would be a good choice. Personally I too would prefer Polynesians but, heh, it's not my scenario

[jdd2007]

according to my "Histograph" you should replace german tribes with goths and add the huns. as for the other things, i do not know...

[Mars]

UPDATED

I updated my list.

Now i need UUs and leaders for every civ

the order of my chart goes like this: (if you can't understand it)

Civ - Leader(UU)
