Great Northern War

[Andemagne]

This is a Scenario Succession Game about Great Northern War.
you need Civ2MGE and GNW scen to play. the scenario can be found from Spanish Civ site or Civ Scen Collection.
note that there is 2 GNW scens. this uses the better one.

This scenario covers period from march 1700 to september 1719, with each year divided into 4 turns.
I was thinking that every player plays one year = 4 turns.
this is a x2x2 game, so to start you have to start a multiplayer game. difficulty is set to KING.
also you HAVE TO write a story about what happened during your turns.

atleast these people have signed up for this game in the old thread(http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...12#post1780525):

to be edited. just don't remember anymore what I had to write.

the save.

Here's what happened.

March1700
*Great Northern War Begins.
*Immediately after hearing about the start of new war, Kung Carl XII orders
construction of 7 new cities, 2 located in Sweden and 5 in Finland.
"To keep up with production of infateries" He Says.
*Fierce battles around Riga. swedish infantry uses revolutionary tactic of
counter attack to destroy a small polish army.
*Grand Swedish army embarks from Karlskrona to defeate the Danes.
"First the Danes, then Poland and Russia" He proclaims.
*Fierce battles around Narva. Kung Carl abandons all hope of holding the city,
local governor refuses to surrender.

June1700
*Fierce Battles continue around Narva and Riga. only miracles save both cities.
*Danes bombard Swedish west coast.
*Citywalls of Narva Completed, an not a moment too early.
*Construction of 4 new siege artillery units ordered by the Kung Carl
"Attack is the Best Defence" He Quotes
*City of Uumeå founded.
*Construction of "Great Nothern Road" from Luleå to Vasa begun.
*Danish capital of Copenhagen is captured. Kung Carl himself is the first one to
enter the city. The city is captured allmost undamaged.
*Swedish general Magnus Stenbock and Adam Lewenhaupt with reenforcements
arrive at Tallinn.

September1700
*Cities of Narva and Riga Held, but only by new troops and brilliant leadership
of Generals Stenbock and Lewenhaupt. Both are granted Veteran Status.
*Again the Danes bombard Swedish west coast, but in vain.
*City of Björneborg founded.
*Swedes capture Odense. Again Kung Carl is the first one to enter the city.
The city is badly damaged.

December1700
*Swedes troops in Denmark rest, and gather strenght.
*Quiet on the eastern front, only some counter attacks by swedish cavaleri.
the quiet springs hope of quick end of the war in local populance.
*Naval battles in Kattekat
*City of Lindköping founded.

about the scenario.

our objective is to hold all the swedish cities to the end of the scenario (sept 1719).
that is, of course, achieved easiest thru conquest.

I really do think that we need to build few new cities to keep our production base big enough to build enough of those infantteries to hold our objective cities.
I was thinking of building cities of Borgå, tavastehus, uleåborg and torneå (to their respective places.) in addition to those that I managed to build.
and that "great northern road" is a neccesity, believe me.
every player of course does what he sees fit.

we have few unique units:
*Kung Karl XII. Best defence (5) unti in the game. Try not to lose him, but try to have him promoted to veteran status, then we would have one helluva defence unti. The game doesn't end if he dies but, wouldn't be nice to finish the game WITH him? in real life he died in 1718, 3 years before the war ended.
*General Lewenhaupt and Stenbock. second best defence (4) units in the game. veteran statuses would be also nice for these fellas. try not to lose these ones either, 'cos they're our best defence against enemy siege artilleries.
*2 cavalry unit called Trabants. they have one special ability, they can "carry 1". don't lose these, sometimes they can save the day.

those black cities in germany are unconquerable. units defending them have defence strenght of 30.

hope this is everything.

I am totally unfamiliar with this scenario - so had better step in later rather than sooner...

Do you have a link for the download?

(edited to remove incorrect link.) Sorry.

Here you go, atawa.

Andemagne, Apolyton lists the scenario as the 'conquest of Russia,' not the 'Great Northern War.'

Sounds interesting, but I don't have the time right now.
Good luck.

[Straybow]

At least no Suomitranslatipööfdå is needed here! I think I'll just kibitz.

Yes, I was confused by "conquest of Russia" as the label. Heck, that could be Napoleon or Hitler, or even Genghis Khan.

[Scouse Gits]

2x2x, King in an unfamiliar scenario - too many new things for me - I too shall kibitz ...

you couldn't be more wrong, obiwan. conquest of russia is all different scenario. could you please remove that link to avoid confusion. I just noticed that apolyton don't have this scenario. here is the scenario as attachment.

SG: kibitz? skip?


I think that i forgot to mention that we play as swedes.
and I do know a few of the events of this scenario, but I think that I should keep them to my self.

ok whos playing next? atawa?

[Scouse Gits]

kibitz = observe (a bridge term from Yiddish???)
I will not be playing this game - thank you - but I shall watch with interest

[Andemagne]

roger that. happy viewing.

[PDifolco]

Why did you start at x2x2 in a SP scenario ? We'd soon have a big mess of cities/units everywhere...
I neither know the scen nor really where all those icy countries are, also !

I'm not very happy with all that, will try to do my best but would have preferred a more classical setting.
