PTW Scenarios

[Bambul]

Could anyone with PTW tell us what scenarios are included? Are there many? SP or MP? Are they of the same level of Civ2 WWII or the scenario expansion packs? How many are made by Firaxis and how many are fan made?

[WarpStorm]

Lots, most SP (although they would still work in MP), all fan made.

[jdd2007]

wow. give us a few examples?

[ixnay]

There's scenarios that let you start in Middle ages, industrial, or modern. There's a scenario on a large world map with 31 civs.

what did they use for the last 7? (what units and what leaderheas?)

[Bambul]

If they were fan made then does that mean they don't use any of the new things introduced in PTW? Also, if they were fan made then why weren't they ever posted on the forums? And is Vel's Alamo scenario one of them? Of all the scenarios I've played for Civ 3 that has got to be the single best one I've played.

One called Teterkhan, or something like that:

israel instead of US
abyssinia-copy of leaderhead
hungary-new leaderhead-louis 1
songhai-copy-
tibet-copy-
indonesia-copy-
cambodia-copy-
incas-new leaderhead

the uus are a bit strange, a few of the civs have a couple of them each

Some of them do. Apparently, some of the mod community were given advance copies of PTW.

There's like 40 .bix files and 40 .bic files with the game. Some of the .bix files are Sn00py's terrain mods (YAY Sn00py!). Some of the maps include Japan, Europe, Marla Singer's World Map, Quad Damage, Sean Morgan's Great Lakes, Raan and QuaySan by Mizaq, Bull's Eye, Firaxis Logo, Imperialism, Ireland, Ringworld, UK, Skull Island.

A lot of the same stuff you've probably already downloaded, but included in the game.

Uh, one of my SGs (CG2) is in there, even though I didn't submit it...

I cant believe anyone would say any of the scenarios that came with this game are any good. A bunch of maps you could of already got. No WW2 scenario No Rome No nothing. Oh yes one titled Rome, but oh wait it is just a map you could of already downloaded. I guess we will have to use the editor. nope same poor editor that is hard to use and does not work well. Guess they are going to put out a Civ 3 fantastic worlds to fix it and take our money again!

On another note this sites modorators suck! i post a thread and ming closes it i don't care if there was other threads complaining about the game, it sucks so bad i don't think there can be enough threads compalining about it. Guess they are tired of hearing how bad of a job they have done!

One reason to close it is that we have enough trouble looking at all the new thread updates with out 10 copies of the same thing. There is nothing wrong with your point, but it did not need a new thread.

Try using the Ancient mod (I think its called that) on the Ancient map. Its a great mod.

I'm probably just venting my frustration on how bad i thought the expansion was on the moderators. If they think that topics are the same another option would be to join them with the other threads. That might take to much time though.

I tried all of the scenarios and mods that came with the game. I think some effort was put into them but they are not at all what i hoped for. I'm looking for real scenarios where i can play Rome where Rome is located in Italy not on a island chain. I want to play a WW2 scenario that has a historical map and the correct civs and units. I'm fine if they don't want to take they time to include this in the expansion but make an editor that is at least as good as the civ 2 one so we can make our own. That is why i think this game is a waist of money and time and will continue to be a waist until they can make it as good as civ 2.
