The World 2003 Scenario team is proud to present a new release of the most realistic simulation of modern world.

It is now 1st of May, 2003, 8 o'clock in the morning. As you come to your office your advisor approaches you. What decisions will you make today? The world political situation is volatile and you face great challenges as you lead your nation. The military operation in Iraq has finished and victorious Coalition forces have occupied the country. Terrorist attacks increase and situation on Korean peninsula is still unclear.

Version 19 highlights

This version features a new revolutionary and never seen before feature - weapons manufacture licences. Weapons manufacture licence contracts allow you to sell licences for your indigenous weapons and purchase licences from other countries. A country that signed a licence purchase contract for a specific weapon (e.g. F-16 or BTR-80) can produce that weapon as long as the contract lasts, usually minimum 20 weeks.

Other World 2003 Scenario version 19 features:

- Accurate U.S. Air Force, Army and Marines unit numbers and bases.
- Accurate UK Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines unit numbers and bases.
- Realistic representation of coalition troops deployment in South West Asia (CENTCOM).
- Up to date simulation of political situation in Middle East region, including Syria, Jordan, and occupied Iraq.
- New natural resources (including gas, rice and narcotics) open new possibilities for growth and trade.
- Fourteen new weapons including MiG-29 (Fulcrum), Type 42 Destroyer, M1A1 U.S. MBT, BMP-3, Patria AMV 8x8, and more. Morevoer, there are new graphics for existing systems: Leopard 2, B-52 Stratofortress, T-55, Commando.
- Two new near-future systems: Sukhoi S-37 and F-22. You need to complete their respective projects in order to manufacture those systems.
- Real life Civilopedia pictures for selected units, and diplomacy leader heads.
- If you thought that installation was very easy, the process just got even easier! The installation process is now more automated and you can now install the scenario just by clicking "Next" buttons...

Version 19 consists of five (5) required packages: Scenario and four (4) Expansion Packs. All five packages are required for this scenario to work properly.
You can download the packages from here, total download size is approximately 16MB. For your convenience, saved games will be provided at the same location.

Other than that it's a nice scenario.

Hello everybody over here!!! I like to play this scanerio, but when I'm loading the saved games (USA, UK and Russia) a message appears : "File missing: ICBM bomb.wav, the game will now exit". Well, I want to know how I can fix this trouble. Thanks

[sabrewolf]

go to your civ-folder
the ./art/units/ICBM/
and edit icbm.ini
beneath [sound effects]
and change the entry at 'death=ICBMBomb' to 'death='

OR: copy a similar sounding wav-file into the folder and rename it to 'ICBM Bomb.wav'
