WW2 Scenario?

[HAND]

Just a quick query-
Is there a WW2 Scenario in PTW or do you have to make it with the new units?
Also if the max human players in PTW is 8, does that mean you can put more AI players on top of them and get 16 players in total?

[Dom Pedro II]

It's 8 Players human or AI. You can have 8 human players, but you can't have any more than 8 players regardless.

So playing scenarios in multiplayer does not make much sense then?

[Wise Ass]

well like trips Civil War scenario wouldn't be bad for MP cause it would be 1v1 and you could just jump right in the fighting.

[Jon Shafer]

There's no WWII scenario packaged with PTW as far as I know.

However, I might be working on one...

I wouldn't recommend my Civil War scenario for MP right now... waaay too many units to meddle with. I might upgrade the scenario to PTW, but I don't like it much and I have better expendesures of time.

Has somebody made a CIV3 WW2 scenario like the one in CIV2?
Or just some modern warfare scenario on the actual world map?
I miss realism in these days...

[Jon Shafer]

I'm working on one that is as realistic as you can get with Civ 3. The only ahistorical part about it is that the start date is in June 1941 but America is already in the war. I had to do that in order to get both Barbarossa and the Japanese expansion across the Pacific. Uses units from PTW and whatever else can be found on the net. Should be done in a couple weeks probably, and should be (I think) mighty awesome.

[ThePlagueRat]

Nice...
Being a fellow EU2 player as well,
I put my trust into your definitions of realistic scenarios.

[Jon Shafer]

Don't mention that game!

I've got homework to do.

[WarpStorm]

Off topic, don't say I didn't warn you.

PlagueRat, have you been following Hearts of Iron? As a EU fan I would think that this would be just what you are looking for as a WW2 game.

[Jon Shafer]

HOI has gone gold!

Gargh... I'm not going to have any money left soon...

[ThePlagueRat]

Hey, me too got homework to do.
If I eventually get thru them, HOI and PTW would be my next juncture... (and my poor girlfriend perhaps at last)

So thanks for the tip on the Heart Of Iron!

[ThePlagueRat]

When it comes to work, the ADDICTION is not a plague at all...

[H Tower]

so have there been any civ3 scenarios that come even close to the complexity and balance of civ2 scenarios?

[moonsavior69]

Looking foward to it Trip. Thank god for people like yourself.
