World war II Scenarios?

[mirakulix]

Hey. I've played civilization since civ one was relized.

And the best game must be civ2 with the world two scenario!

Now I've got the following question
Isn't there any world war two scenarios for CIV3?

And where can I get it?

[epics]

As far as I remember in editor you can't add specific units (or was it cities?) so you can't build a scenario as it was in civ2. In Files Forum, on this cite, you can find some WWII scenarios or mods.
Here you have some mods and scenarios:

And you will find more, just look in the Files.

I haven't played any of them so I don't know how do they work.

Hope this helped

You can add custom units via the editor, although I think this ability is only availiable after a certain patch (1.29 works, as will PTW)

Of course, MAKING them is another matter altogether but PTW comes with a bunch of WW2 units like T-34 tanks Mustan fighters etc. look in the CIV3PTW/extras/World War II folder

as to adding them to the game, this might help:

You can also add cities.

The main reason is that there is no way to guarantee that the various teams will stay at war.

The lack of good scenarios is the greatest fault in CIV3 IMO.

[WarpStorm]

Well, Olaf, make one then.

The only thing missing in editor is Diplomacy editing and even editor.

Without diplomacy editing there will no be any "real" scenarios.

And if even editor ever comes out, Civ3 would be best game for scenarios (maybe some other XP?)

I'm hoping for an XP dedicated to scenarios (and their creation).

Warpstorm:

thee who ist all-knowing about Firaxis' machiavellian plans, how true are the rumours of a second expansion pack? There a lot of talk going on at CDG about that.

[WarpStorm]

Well, I'm hardly all-knowing. Although they answer many of my questions, ones about future products don't get answered. I've heard rumors too, but none from a source more credible than those on CDG (well maybe a little more j/k). The rumor I hear is that it'd be focused on scenarios and scenario building.

[Master Zen]

Well I certainly hope the rumours are true. It would truly be a waste of effort to leave the game as it is.

Just think of all those poor japanese and ww2 units laying around in PTW with no scenario to shelter them. Pleeease! think of the units! the poor lonely units!

i made a civ 2 mod that was a total world war 2 game, restructured entire tech tree, terrain, units, map, cities, rules. It took me 2 weeks but it was well worth it. Light Fighter taking on Advanced Zepplins. Heavy Field Artillery bombing a variety of ships. Awesome fun, I was thinking about making it again but it might be a wee bit harder this time around

As far as I know, Firaxis is planning in releasing one Japanese scenario with those untis included.
(and that's NOT rumor, its FACT)

Time will tell: I'm still waiting for the release of PTW where I live...

There is a massive WWII scenario in the works for the PTW expansion pack. It is being designed as a Play By E-mail, so it will only have 8 civilizations, but diplomacy won't be a problem because the civs will all be controlled by the human player.

I'll give more information if you guys are interested.
