Very Sci-Fi/Fantisy (I will be usless at it as I dont whatch it)

Nothing wrong with that. Very sci-fi/fantasy stuff isn't watched; it's read.

Roman Empire

Why not cover one of the Roman/Sassanid squabbles over Armenia?

Ok, you asked for it.

There are several ideas for scenarios that I'd like to see done but don't want to do them myself.

1.) Russo-Japanese War. This is a good one. If a really big map were used, some on-target research, and a nice bunch of new graphics, this would make a for a nice little scenario; not too long, plenty of shootin' and a nice mix of naval and land combat.

2.) The Franco-Prussian War. Could be very interesting, if put together right.

3.) Balkan Wars. A good idea. I have yet to see anyone follow through with it.

4.) And who, (besides Stephan Haertel) has put together an ancient/classical scenario lately? Let's give Stephan some well-deserved rest and make one of those. I'm still waiting for a Rise-of-the-Celts type scenarios. That's not set in Spain. (

@ JayBee ) There are dozens more that I can think of.

5.) Go for it.

Well.

I like the idea of a classical one.
I am leaning towards 'conquest of Britain' (It will be easier for me, due to me a)living here and b) it is an island. I find that with contenental maps the AI sometimes gets a tad confused. I do not know much (comparitivly) about Armenia. (Of the Sassnid Persians at that)(see, I can not even spell them right)

Russo-Japanese War, I do like this idea also. The problems are 1) so many things would have to be tied by events.txt (I have to do it all by hand due to my version of Civ II being a little crummy. 2)Would I include other powers such as China and how could I stop them attacking people without removing all their movement? Or would it be nice for the Chinese interviening on a side?

Balkan Wars-which war would that be then? There has been a few.

And RE- Fascists. I dont mind an sen. which the Fascists will pretty much lose.

I do feel, unless there is a gaping hole for a paricular sen, I will not make a post 1800 one.

But I garentee, whatever I do, It will be will made, from map to events.txt But it will take a while to make.

But I am not suggesting it is made by committee. I'm too much of a control freak for that. Ah screw it, you can help with .gifs and historical accuracy if you lot wish.

Roman or Norman conquest?
IOn the first option i've got an old scen that maybe could be useful....

**Silpy** · May 1, 2003, 11:10

Roman.

The Norman conquest of Britain was one big battle, lots of annoying skirmishes everywhere and the only decent resistance was in the Fens.

Perhaps you can have the Romans, and the Celtic tribes constantly fighting each other, but with Events.txt occasionly allying together to fight together.

I am also now considering a Carribiean one (European Settlement one). Only problem is that I really suck making maps.

**Shaka Naldur** · May 1, 2003, 12:18

I think that someone is already making a russian-japanese war, can't remember who

**yaroslav** · May 1, 2003, 16:40

I believe it is El-awerence

Ok. I've got an old scen of mine about that. Graphs were crappy, but i think map is still ok. I'll post it here once i'll have a byte of memory about where i placed that weirdo...

**Silpy** · May 7, 2003, 07:38

I suck in making Graphics, but by now I have my 30 scenarios that I have downloaded in the last 2 years to search for the best ones. I'm not that bad in making Events.txts either, although I have to do it by hand. (even though I have FW I do not have the auto- maker program that they described in the manual. Strange)
I am starting to research the background now, to see if it is possible.

But do people want it to change history ( ie slowly conquer Britain by planting colonies everywhere) or simply see if they can conquer faster than history?

Theres definitely colonial era caribean maps around, as there are several scenarios set in that period.

Well, if it's infos on (Sasanian) Persia you lack, I can help out

And who, (besides Stephan Haertel) has put together an ancient/classical scenario lately?

Lately? I think the latest ancient scenario of mine is a year or two old (if you don't count "Lost Paradise")

But I think a classical scenario would be refreshing. There are some great Roman scenarios in the works, but I severely miss something decent about Greece. Maybe the Persian or Pelopponesian Wars, that'd be great.

I suck in making Graphics, but by now I have my 30 scenarios that I have downloaded in the last 2 years to search
for the best ones.

Alternately, you can just ask for someone to do them. I, myself, have a lot of decent graphics like units or cities that haven't been seen or aren't far-spread.

I'm not that bad in making Events.txts either, although I have to do it by hand. (even though I
have FW I do not have the auto- maker program that they described in the manual. Strange)

You're not missing anything. The events editor got me introduced to it, but I've been doing all manually for the last four years. You have much more liberty and control over the thing this way.

Only problem is that
I really suck making maps.

Again, there are loads of people to help you out on that. But don't get discouraged too early. I thought that of myself too, but I have made the maps for "Sons Of Heracles", "Alexander The Great" and "Lost Paradise" myself... then again...

Some good Carribean maps can be found in Jesús Balsinde's "The Conquest Of México" and Carl Fritz' "Pitts War At Sea" scenarios. Mercator's site will also be likely to have the right thing for you.

But do people want it to change history ( ie slowly conquer Britain by planting colonies everywhere) or simply see if
they can conquer faster than history?

It depends. Some people (like me) like empire-building scenarios more, because they get the feeling that they've done all by themselves. Then again, there are people who prefer action-packed scenarios with lots of fighting and tactics. Some like both, some like things inbetween. I think you should do what you like best. After all, people are known to lose themselves in other categories as well.

I am personally still sticking with an ancient Aegean-based scenario
