  • Ideas for the European Colonization Scenario

    Fast Eddie and I came up with this, mainly FE who thought it would be perfect.

    Any comments or suggestions would be very helpful.

    In the Americas, possibly Africa, we have a unit called "Gold Mountain" "Silver Mountain" and maybe one more. This will be a no-move air unit, much like some of the mountains in Spartacus.

    We then have a unit called a "Miner" (as in mining gold). This unit has the setting where it can only attack air units (attack of 1, so if it attacks a regular enemy unit, it will surely loose, but the defense of the mountain would be 0 or 1). When you attack the gold mountain, silver mountain, etc, you mine it. Each time this unit dies, you get gold in your treasury. I was thinking if I had the mountain to a defense of 1 and the miner to an offense of 1, the miner would fail in mining, making the unit die. Then you may need a few miners to complete the task. Or I may just have the mountain with a defense of 0, so every time a miner attacks, it wins, giving you money. The miner unit will come with the technology of "Stone Mining."

    I am doing the same with a unit called a "Hunter" and then air units, like the helicopter, are roaming around the Americas. They will get created every few turns because they will be hunted or they will die off (or, in helicopter terms, run out of fuel).

    I personally love these ideas.

    Yeah Polaris, nice work!
    Please, please (austiblift!) make Holland a part of this scenario! The scenario that comes with MGE...Age of Discovery, I play as The Nederlands all the time. They present a challenge because of the standard 1 city they get: Amsterdam. Are they a part of it? Will we need to send units across the Atlantic? Hmmm...

      Good idea.

        WarVoid, I ask you to credit both me and Fast Eddie, for we worked hard on developing the idea. The hunters is my idea, so credit me on this too either in the readme or the title text...

        Klesh, the Dutch are a main civ:

        French
        English
        Spanish
        Italy (strong influence in Africa in the 19th century)
        Dutch
        Central Europe (Could not name Germany or Prussia due to name changes)
        Natives

            But what happens once it's mined? Will it be done for?

            How about a mine that doesn't die right away. Make an invisible airfield where the mountain is and then put more than one gold unit there.

              Darth, that was actually brought up earlier over ICQ, and I decided to do that.

              When you kill a gold unit, you get money.

                  Your scenario will be very inaccurate if you don't include Portugal. You are forgeting it's former colonies in South America and in Africa.

                    dizepam, I am having Portugal in place of the Central Europeans, which is not made up just now.

                    If you take a look at when I announced this scenario, I included Portugal. A stupid mistake is the explaination of the list above.

                        I will not have a single barbarian city.

                        Britain
                        France
                        Portugal
                        Dutch
                        Central Europe
                        Spanish
                        Natives

                          What happenned to Italy? They would probably be a much more interesting civ than Portugal.

                            WHAT? How else would you have Russia, or the Balkans, or Scandinavia? Italy was a bunch of City States at the time, and that would be no fun. Barbarian cities can simply be used for nuetrals, and not for actual barbarian activities.

                              FE, it is not a map of the world.

                              Yes, Italy cannot be used.
