Worst scenario ever?

[Ecthy]

Downloaded it and a few others.

I nominate this one.

I can't believe I went and found it too.

Its called 'Afghanistan Bombing' and it is quite a piece of work.

For those too lazy to click the link, see if you can spot OBL?

-FMK.

[DarthVeda]

That looks pretty bad hehe

[Case]

IMO, the worst scenarios ever were the Santa Claus and Teddy Bear scenarios that came with CiC/FW. WTF was going on there?

[The ANZAC]

FMK: yeah I saw that on Civfanatics and the posters told the guy to hide it and not show it to anyone

Case: Yeah, those looked...interesting to say the least

I did a remake of those scenarios, combining units from both Santa Claus and Bears At Play with quite a few of my own to create War at the North Pole, which is a lot of fun and actually was one of my better beginner scenarios. Try it out, i'm pretty sure you'll like the remake.

The Afghanistan bombing one is by far the worst one I've ever seen, really...

[Case]

It was the guy's first scenario, so go easy on him

That said, the scenario did suck, especially as Afganistan was depicted as an island

While I agree that most of these are losers, that Long 19th Century was one that I played quite a few times when I first started downloading scenarios. I never had a problem producing units as the British, and I played them almost every time.

It is limited, though.

I want to try this "Gambia" scenario. I wish I knew where I could find it...

[Ecthy]

Might that be MY 19th century scenario? I know I produced one once but then deleted it, can't remember ever sending it over the internet though. Can someone give me a link? I'd like to see what that one is like...

AS the British there is no problem.
If the AI is given the British they wont do jack with them. I spoke with you about this problem when I was trying to repair it and you told me then, as you have here, that the best thing to do was just to play Britian and not let the AI have them. My vote stands...although I have not down loaded every single scenario out there. In fact I have only seriously looked at about 25 or 30 scenarios and I only have about a dozen on my hard drive.

I hope its NOT yours. Does the opening of the readme look like your work:

This scenario takes as its starting point the situation in Europe as of 1798, more or less. Its beginning is almost exactly the same as the civ2 scenarios pack napoleonic scenario. However, the map is much more detailed, and the game extends far beyond the era of the Napoleonic wars. Using graphics from a number of the scenarios in Civ2 scenarios, this game allows one to play out an alternate 19th century until the early 1920s (for good measure). The highest level of technology is at World War I level.

The worst scenario I played was, I believe, the American Revolutionary War scenario by Gary Lungo. I played the Independence scenario from Microprose and loved that one, even though it was fairly simple. I have always longed for a custom RevWar scenario that's on par with the ACW and WW2 ones, but no one ever made one and Lungo's version sucked.

Believe me, I'm not the author of any scn mentioned here but I think such threads are very very bad, discouraging people from trying to make a scenario.

I disagree, one can go through life afraid of failing and never succeeding, but those that ultimately succeed have learned from their failures. Do you think the Civ2 HoFers never made a bad scenario (or two)? Learning from their mistakes, and from others as well, we have the collection of superb Civ2 scenarios that we all love to play.
