History of the Rise, Glory, Decline and Fall of the Ottoman Empire

Janissary marching tune

To compensate, I zipped this turkish anthem, which could be used as an opening theme. You can convert it to wav using ashampoo or sth.

[Palaiologos]

Turkish military music

[Heresson]

I'm looking forward to it, but it's an ambitious undertaking, and such undertakings usually fall in the end.
I'll be happy to see even one part of it.
Soon I'll have a computer. I don't know if I'll have time to make scns, but my scns, as about Byzantium probably,
will need a turkish city style, and today I have bigger opportunities to gain a good material for making it. When it comes to city styles, and I think I make pretty nice ones recently , You can count on my help.

merry christmas.

by the way as promised i´m working on this little scenario. currently i´m a bit late because of this d*** map design.
i will post it later this day when i finished map drawing.

some included features: mainly focused on minor asia this map covers also south-eastern europe, (tiny) parts of the north-african shore and mesopotamia.

till later .....

[jim panse]

look what i´ve got here

it´s a first try of my map/terrain design i will use. (some explanations: the weird area between the hills should be some kind of highland )

shall i leave the mountains as they are or shall i replace ´em?

[Valuk]

Quite a good map. Will you be doing this in FW/MGE or will we mortals be let down once more?!

[jim panse]

you mean something for classic civ2?

[St Leo]

I think he means ToT.

Are you sure it was that hard for the Ottomans to transfer troops from Europe to Asia?

[jim panse]

i´m sorry to disappoint you, valuk. i have only mpg. this will only be playable on fw/mpg.

i guess i will make troop movements for these who control constantinopolis/istanbul (which is indeed a medieval greek form, slightly "turkified", if you want) easier by making the bosporus thinner

what do you think?
what about the mountains?

[Valuk]

MGE is fine with me.
This scenario has potential...

[St Leo]

MGE scenarios cannot be played in FW. However, FW scenarios can be played in MGE.

FW scenarios cannot be played in CiC/2.42. However, CiC/2.42 scenarios can be played in FW.

[Palaiologos]

Instabul comes from the Greek " Is tin polin", which means "to the City".


For the unenlightened.

[jim panse]

i guess you don´t meant me with "undelightened". but thanks

[Heresson]

I don't like the map.
I'm cruel, I know, but it gives You a chance to correct it.

[Boco]

Umm...Maybe some constructive criticisim, Heresson the Cruel . Is it the appearance, the scale, the distribution of terrain, or something else? My first gut reaction is that there may be too much 'nice' terrain - I think Macedonia-to-Anatolia is pretty rugged (but then I've been reading about the Salonika debacle in WWI, lately). Then again, maybe other parts of @UNITS and @TERRAIN already reflect this.
