Age of Constantine

[Jay Bee]

This scenario is now up at the Spanish Civ Site. An outstanding piece of work imho

Many Thanks

Thank you J. Balsinde, I hope the scenario adds to the quality of that excellent web site. Now to get working on a new version of 'The Age of Arturius'.

Masis, that's a very nice scenario. I really like the map and the way you've implimented the road network and slave camps - you've clearly put a lot of thought into the scenario, and done a lot of research, and it really pays off.

BTW, you wouldn't believe how tempted I am to use this picture as my Atavar

Many Thanks Case

However, today I purchased an Osprey book about the Late Roman Army.
It shows a lot of interesting depictions of the costumes of the period, this can be implemented in a later version.
One 'bug' I found in the scenario is that the GIVETECHNOLOGY event formula does not work, even though the DEBUG program did not find any errors...
That means that Constantine does not gain the Christian Faith tech!

However, The Pope appears in Rome.
Engineers appear to found New Rome/Constantinople.

And in history the Age of Constantine saw no supression of Pagan beliefs and he was baptised on his death bed to cleanse himself of worldly sins...

Masis, very nice scenario. GIVETECHNOLOGY events have been used successfully in dozens of scenarios, so there must be something that can be fixed. Are you sure that no one else has this tech or can research it? Why don't you post the event (and related ones) here?

In my rush to produce these Roman era scenarios I clearly did not put enough thought into them...
4 bothces you will note.

The Germans have been given a Mediteranean style city-this is replaced with the intended style, a Germanic style!
Scroll down the Wonders of the World and you will come across the word @Diplomat, this is from the Game text!
In the intro to the scenario the recommded players says Maximian when in fact it should be Mexentius.
The Magister Militum unit was too stron on defence so I made it a little weaker.

The amendments are attached to download and replace the old files with.

The scenario would be very tough at Diety level, it is intended to be fun and a learning exercise-play it at a moderate level.
