4th POLL: What kind of scenarios would you like?

[Palpatine]

My favourite scenarios are:

1. Cold War 1985 (full world displayed)
2. WW2
3. Napoleon
4. MiddleEast
5. WW1

At least for the first two scenarios it wouldnt be necessary to create new units --> easy scenarios

-The power of the dark side is with him-
Emperor Palpatine

I didn't vote, because I don't care for scenerios. So I would prefer that effort be put into other areas.

Mark has installed a hack that keeps the thread of his choice at the top of the forum.

In reply to a comment of mine stating that if Activision were smart they'd have gotten some scenario builders here at Apolyton Lt. John said that we should recognize the names of some of the scenario builders.

Mark..you are soo true..and YES!!.. A VOTE..constitutes..having a definitive ability to choose ONE!!!..but maybe more 2nd place choices..needed..or wanted..I agree with your assumption that "ALL-OF-THE-ABOVE"..doesnt fit well in a "VOTE"..category.

Keep up Great work keeping us Straight Partner!!!

I really hope that there are no fantasy/fictional scenarios included, excluding possible near-future ones. I know that I don't have to play them, but I see CTP as more of a historical simulation; if I want to play Tolkien, I'll get a LotR game.

Although I have a feeling that Activision will include one scenario from each of the categories in the poll, my choices would be:

December of 1941
The British Empire, Victorian period
The Punic Wars
The crusades (2nd-4th, probably)
The Spanish vs. the Mexica

Great to be back!

[ConquistadorPizzaro]

There simply MUST be a cold war/MAD scenario. This is one of the most crucial and interesting times in history, and definetly is worthy of a scenario. And please, please, NO FANTASY OR OUTRAGOUS FICTIONAL SCENARIOS!!!!!

I disagree. I think that if there are 5 scenarios released with the game that a fantasy scenario would be very important. I wouldn't play it, I'm a history buff. But I feel that it would make a great sample for mod makers to show how to do things that might not be shown in other scenarios.

I have to Agree with Big Dave on this..After All..IF you have that Fantasy Scenario...you might be able to get some EXTRA info to alter or "MOD"..something that might fancy your interests!!..And Like BIG DAVE..I wouldn't play it..(maybe to see how it's put together)because I too enjoy History...!!

If they call an Orange an Orange........

Why dont they call a Banana a Yellow?

[Atahualpa]

So you wouldnt even give it a try?

I think releasing scenarios WITH the main game is a great idea!
Not that again we get them promised with a patch!

And I hope this time Activision will not cut off support after the 2nd patch. I hope they keep on working on it and even if there are no bugs they could release maps and/or scenarios. Or maybe some official Mods.

Perhaps instead of having scenarios that start at the beginning of a war, they could have some that start at a historical point of relative peace, perhaps at the end of a major war.

I would certainly like to see a "modern" whole-world scenario that starts at the time of the formation of the Germany and Italy (circa 1870).

I'd like to see an American colonies scenario with a map of eastern North America, starting around 1600, and including scheduled landings of settlers in historically accurate times/locations, including Natives, English, French, Dutch and Spanish, and with some kind of trigger that causes a revolt, after which time you have the option of playing the role of the revolting colonists instead of the mother country.

I would like to see an expansion of Rome scenario with a map that covers the historical max extent of the empire, but that starts with Rome controlling at most the Italian peninsula, perhaps much earlier.

I'd like to see a Dark Ages scenario that covers western Europe and includes major tribes and civilizations including Visigoths, Ostriogoths, Franks, Vandals, and Romans. As the Roman you would try to minimize the onslaught, and as a Germanic tribe you would try to establish a sizeable feudal monarchy.

I'd like to see an Age of Exploration scenario starting circa 1500 where your goal at the English, Spanish, Portuguese, French or Dutch is to colonize the New World, Africa and Southeast Asia/Pacific. (The previous American one is specifically intended to lead to a revolution.)

In the past I would be eager for Napoleonic, WWI and WWII scenarios, but I am more eager to play scenarios where trade and diplomacy are central.

[Stratesford]

I think one scenario that should be included is the latin american revolutions against Spain, since it icludes war, deplomacy and trade. Or the rise of rome

[Sophanthro]

Maybe this is the wrong place to post this but does anyone know if there are going more than the three scenarios announced in IGN's designer diary?

Cold War, WWII, and Alexander the Great

[Seeker]

Cold War, at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis

Age of Imperialism (1815-1918)

[Bkeela]

I would like to see a Mars senario. If Civ 2 can do it, I don't see why CTP II can't.

Bkeela.

[Stratesford]

don't worry when ctp2 comes out with it's new scenario building capabilities I'll make one
