Hi!
I'm working on a scenario based on the original HG Wells novel "The War of the Worlds", set in the UK in 1898. I know there's a scenario based on the Orson Welles broadcast of 1938, but it wasn't as helpful as I had hoped it would be.
Anyway, I'm using the lovely generic map of the UK that's floating around the Net (anyone who knows the designer of that map, please let me know so I can include their name in the credits), and I have placed about 30 British cities on it and have started irrigating around them, etc. I am designing in Deity mode, as has been suggested in several design guides, but I am having trouble getting the cities settled out of Civil Disorder. Every time I start working on the scenario, 95% of the cities riot. I have created trade routes between the cities and put some units in each one. It seems unrealistic to crowd each of Britain's cities with scores of riflemen, so I only have one in each of the smaller cities and 4 in London.
Each city has at least a temple, a marketplace, and a granary. Bigger cities have libraries, universities (I've tried to place these where they would historically have been located) and banks. Hisorical port cities like Liverpool and Southampton have Port Facilities and an ironclad.
What other ways are there to calm the cities down without making the scenario too historically unrealistic?
Anyone interested in helping out with this scenario will be gratefully acknowledged.
Thanks in advance.
