A view from my Kok Turks scenario...

[Prometeus]

Hy League pals !!!
After four months of research, work and patience, I've started the final making of this scenario !!!!
Hmmm... maybe I should have to say the "3.0 version" of this scenario ( that's right, it crashed two times !!! ).
First, the map, from west to east:
Iranic lands...

Zungary and Tarim...

... and, finally, Mongolian steppes and Northern China.


I made this map scanning a polar-projected northern emisphere, but I elonged it that way in order to perform an essential political development: Western Kok turks ( On Ok ) against Persians and Je-ta/Eftalites, Eastern Kok turks against the other Turks and Chinese empire ( not to mention a civil war between the two Kok turks kingdoms... eh eh eh ).
I'm "ear-opened" to your hints and tips...

There sure are a lot of mountains...
But is looks really good!

A lot of these mountains are going to be wiped out, Hendrik; I want to replace them with another terrain in order to perform mountain pastures, especially around Central Mongolia ( from Tarbagataj to Altai mountain ridges )...

[Hendrik the Great]

I see. How big is it in squares? How many in x*y?

It's around 100 x 25 y dimensions, but I avoided the distance by giving to steppes' terrain a 2/3 movement point, and 1/3 to plains and prairie's terrain.

This is how i changed Forest into Coniferous Forest using AoE tree pics...



More to come... stay tuned !

[C0ckney]

looking good so far, are those tundra and glacia terrains going to be changed into types of mountain?

The forest looks great as well.

Also just one little thing,the expression is "open eared", sorry just had to point that out. (but your English is better than my Italian )

To COckney

Yes, look at the pic... this is how tundra is going to be ( as I changed it into steppes ). This is Western Zungary - near the On Ok-West Kok Turks starting point...

The Glacier is going to be changed into High Mountain, and Jungle into "Yayla" terrain ( "Mountain pastures" in Turk language - sorry for mispelling it, I can't perform dieresis with my keyboard... and turk languages uses eight different vowels ), but they are not currently placed on the map...

PS Thanks for the tip; Italian Dictionaries often don't report english slang expressions...

My god, that looks wonderful. I can hardly await seeing the final product!

[Stefan Härtel]

Oh yeah, and German uses eight different vowels too: a, e, i, o, u, ä, ö, ü + we have an ß (a very sharp s-sound).

[PolarisGL]

Stopped by to say looking good, Prometeus.

[KhanMan]

Hmmm...looks interesting. I'm in the middle of playing with Hartel's "Shaibani" (which gives new meaning to the words "mobile calvalry), but I'd be glad to try out whatever you want feedback on...

There is a reformed spelling going on right now, but nobody wants it. I for personal have once actually begun with writing in the really old spelling from ca. 1910, but I stopped doing that because I had no idea wether it was spelled "Tür" or "Thür".
The new spelling&grammar is going to degrade the ß, because it is, in many occasions going to be replaced by an ss (i.e. dass), which I think is terrible because I like the ß.

It would, of course, be easier for us all to speak Abkhazian, since that uses only two vowels

To Hendrik
Too much honor for my humble screenshot...

To Stefan
Just wait to listen if Caucasian auxiliary cavalry is going to speak Abkhazian, Stefan...
( PS speaking of short akphabets, better for all of us to speak Hawaian, then... vowels included, 18 letters only... for sure not turk ! I.e. "Türkleshtiremediklerimizdenmisiniz ?"...

To Khanman
Yeah, "Shaibani" final release by Stefan gave me a couple of ideas about how to develope this weirdo to an end...

To PolarisGL
Do you remember your Jason unit ? I changed it a little, but your "*" will be still on... Thanks a lot!!!
PS When i'll have it finished, i'll post my Celtitaly strategy and solution to your forum...
