Scenario of the Week Club

[Mao]

Let's try to get this thing going again...Leo appears to have already suggest a scenario...so have I. But we need to keep it in one place as to avoid move confusion. First off, who is still interested in this?

[Paul Hanson]

I was wondering if anyone was still interested in this; who else was in it last time around?

[Mao]

Leo seems to be in, so is CivFan...I think

[Shadowstrike]

I'm in, but I'm pretty busy right now. Can you guys gimme a couple of weeks?

[Mao]

A few weeks for you to reccomend a scenario or a few weeks for you to review one?

[Leonidas]

I was wondering if you gentlemen would explain what the scenario of the week club is for us poor unfortunates who have not heard about this before

And... can anyone join?

Thanks.

Both Mao. I might even have to stop posting on these forums *gasp* to get the scenario done before by I have to go back to school.

[Mao]

Leo, the concept is a fairly simple one:

Every week (or was it two weeks now?) each of us reccomends a lesser known scenario for Civ2 FW (...or was it MGE? I think it was just FW). He also gives us a link to where we can get the scenario. Then we play it and come back to discuss and review it. Then, after that scenario is done, the next person on the list reccomends a scenario that he found online. There is a cycle and a list so it doesn't get too confusing. I think that's about it right guys?

Yes, I'm pretty sure anyone can join; Hell, they let me in didn't they?

[Hendrik the Great]

I never left so I'm in. There is just one little problem for me right now...

It is impossible for me right now to play Civ!

I am not at home and this PC has no Civ and I forgot to bring it along, I know that was an unforgiving crime but it happened, you know, and I won't be back home until the 19th of August so I guess you will have to do the first round with out me. I'm very sorry for it

And Mao you got the rules all correct, it was also mainly FW but a good CiC can't hurt either I think...

Yeah, but FW is as high up as we do.

CivFan, I thought I suggest 1884v7? That's what I have IIRC. I'll have to go check again...

[Civfan]

Couldn't find version 7 of 1884 on Apolyton.... Is that the one your talking about...if not...need a link

[Civfan]

Hey everyone. Count me in on this. Lets all set a date. Hopefully it should be just one week as the last time the club got buried under the Red Front 1.4 release. 1884v2 is this weeks scenario... Is that all agreed? I found the link its

link


So everyone who wants in, join today and come by August 16 to talk about this scenario.

I swear it was version 7. I think it was on Apolyton too. This is the readme to it:

quote: 1884 - Age of Imperialism v7.0 Changes in v7.0: Sound no longer shipped with zip-file; Advanced Navigation now available Changes in v6.0: Improved sound and Poison Gas now available Changes in v5.0: Now available in German! Changes in v4.0: - removed bugs like harbors in inland cities - distribution of city improvements made more realistic (e.g. no more university in Anchorage or Reykjavik) - some minor changes in the rules.txt file - events.txt now featured. My motivation to make this scenario came from my disappointment about the "1900" scenario (can be found on CivII Heaven; the 1900 scenario actually starts in 1875 ... ), which is not very accurate about geographical and historical content (I tried to contact the author about it, but it appears his e-mail has changed ... ). I do not claim that my solution is 100% correct. But I tried to stick to real history as close as possible. Here are some changes I've made: Central Europeans - I've merged the Spanish - the once most important colonial power which was in a state of final decline in the last years of the 19th century -, the Dutch a colonial power whose power was very limited in the relevant period of time -, the Scandinavian states and their outposts - minor powers but yet some kinda colonial -,the Italians - a minor colonial power which only became a bit relevant between 1910 and 1943, the Austro-Hungarians - no colonial power at all, but a multi-national imperial state which was about to break up -, the Ottoman Empire (Istambul and Baghdad) - an empire in decline which was closely linked to Germany and Austro-Hungaria which became very clear in WW I when the Ottomans sided with the Central Powers - and the Germans - the rising colonial power of the time which founded several colonies all over the world after the Congo Conference in Berlin (1884/1885) decided to divide up Africa among the European colonial powers. I did this for better gameplay, because I think that the interests of all these powers were about the same (except maybe the Netherlands). When you look at the Pacific Ocean islans of the time, you see, that Germany was the direct successor of Spain in regard to the Micronesian Islands and Samoa. The Japanese - already are on Corean soil (which they would only have been c. 10 years later in real history) The Free Peoples (Neutral) - Consist of some independent states with - at that point of time - different tech levels. I solved this by giving them very low tech, but I put more advanced units and city improvements in some towns. The Nations: Tech level: Argentina/Brazil/Chile High Peru/Columbia/Mexico/Venezuela Medium Persia/Arabia Low Ethiopia Low Liberia Low China/Mongolia/Tibet Medium / High --- SOUND SUPPORT --- To get the right sound for every unit, copy the sounds from the CiC-CD scenario WW1 to a directory named "sound" in your "1884" directory. Rename custom2.wav to custom1.wav. Also copy infantry.wav (from WW1/sound) several times and rename it custom3.wav. Do the same thing with cavalry.wav and call it swrdhors.wav. Or e-mail me and I will send you a zip-file of the sound files you'll need. Some of the graphics in this scenario are, well, not quite professional, so if you can do better ones, please let me know. I also need good unitsgrafix for some new scenarios I'm planning. If you're interested, please contact me. (e-mail: kirgam@presidency.com) (Credits will be included, of course!) >>> MANY THANKS TO: - Matthias Mathes and Bruno Rakos for beta-testing - Mike D. McCart for putting this scenario on his site - Dirk Weber for helping me with the "partisan problem" <<< Have fun playing!

Is that the same you have?

If not, I could give it to someone else to post on their site.

[Civfan]
