Scenario Design Contest #5

[DarthVeda]

Let's get this ball rolling. Any ideas?

[St Leo]

Kobayashi suggested a non-war one which I understand would be something like the Fellowship of the Ring or Roman Riots.

[DarthVeda]

Has it been tradition for the winner to set up the next? I can't remember.

[techumseh]

No. There has usually been considerable discussion before any decision is made regarding subject and major contest parameters.

It could also be about economic warfare with bribing as the only way of conquest.

[Mercator]

That's an excellent idea!

[WarVoid]

Bribing would'nt work. You can't incite a revolt in an enemy capitol.

I think another contest around a theme would be good. Maybe sci-fi again. Or even WWII, considering how much WWII stuff people do around here.

[DarthVeda]

I like the ww2 idea, namely because we would have a lot of entrants unlike the paltry four this time.

I wouldn't submit Kyokujitsu because that wouldn't be very fair, anonymously speaking (considering my codename wouldn't very well conceal that scenario).

What about Ancient/Medieval China/Asian scenario? It would be original, as far as I know we haven't too much scen about this place on this age. Or maybe about Opium Wars: Colonize Asia! (XIX century)

If the scen is going to be about non-war (say commerce), then Venecia/Italian States on Medieval Age, The Netherlands on Modern Age or even Creta in Acient times could be great places to do scens in.

Another theme I could love would be Punics wars (as far as I remember there are only two scen: Stefan's 3rd Punic War and one scenario-quest about Hannibal).

The problem with the WWII theme, in my humble opinion, is that there are many, many scen about WWII...

I think the next contsest should be an 'Abstract' contest, as in the scenario's have to go against traditional Civ2 goals such as conquest and technology level. I have a few idea's that I would like to play around with and see if they would work. As long as it is Abstract, then it should qualify. I guess that WV could use his worldly wisdom to determine what is 'Abstract' enough .

[Boco]

How about only one criterion: the winner wins by building something (e.g. spaceship) to arrive somewhere (e.g. Alpha Centauri)? By not having a warlust victory condition, it could encourage, but not dictate, a tech race. At the start of the contest, someone could donate expertise by explaining how to change the appropriate DLL's. This could get some creative designs!

[Insurgent]

How about requiring that some small conflict should be depicted, that has not previously been made a scenario about?

Got something cooking...

[DarthVeda]

I just did that

[klesh]

I would be interested in furthering the PBEM theme, but maybe in the way of the duel.... not to many 1 on 1 PBEMs are out there. Of course I like the WWII idea as well. Small action WWII PBEM duel perhaps?
