Don't worry. You're absolutely right.

I have used a map almost (!!!) similar to the map used in Imp. 1870 but i have included more citys in Africa and changed the citys in Europe. Kamtchatka is includes and and more Russian citys in Siberia. There won't be any goody boxes in game. Also the "city terrain is new. I used it to simulate the great industrial potential of Europe, American East Coast, Japan and some other regions.
I will send some screenshots of Africa and Europe soon ...

[Cifer Almasy]

Oh great! do you have perhaps a first version for playtesting - i would really enjoy to do that job!

[Jacques Rougeau]

Just wanted to bring this thread back on track so this great scen idea won't die Hope you're still working on it

[NikolajRomanov]

I am still working but my computer has cracked down with all my actual scenario files

Of course i have a copy of my files so i could rebuild most of the scn. i think next week i will have a first version for playtesting (but only with few events)
Can somebody say me a good name for a wonder increasing Petrograd's/St.Petersburg's trade (the Colossus)

hmmm ... (thinking) perhaps it could be named "Door to the West" but that sounds bad ...

How about:
"Kronstadt"
"Church of our Saviour"
OR
"Hermitage"

Three important buildings in St. Petersburg

Oh and good to hear you're still working on it. You can count me in for playtesting I will PM you my E-Mail if it's ok with you.

[Cifer Almasy]

as well as you can count on me!

The Bronze Horseman? Neva Canals? IIRC Russians use "Window to the West" rather than door.

First version of Imperialism 1904/20 for is ready for playtesting

please report back any bugs and/or ideas to improve the scenario.

actualized version: units in Spain Middle America and parts of south America. New event when Japanese conquer Port Arthur.
Fortress units in certain citys
Neutral citys in Africa and Sputh America are updated

[Reinhard-Baer]

Hey really nice one. Just some notes:
I think this is a little bit unbalanced towards the russians. I realized you are a fan of this country
The events give them too much money compared to the others.
And is it intentionally that the Spanish and Portuguese cities are undefended? They would be overran by France in no time.
And the last one:
Do we get the cities-file too ?

I like your scen very much

I also found Russia way too powerful. You might want to eliminate some of the Russian cities and add more cities in the pacific or in Western Europe. You might want to consider diving up some of the neutral countries into a Barbarian civ. You oculd for example, make the European countries that are not independent civs into one big neutral power and make China and South America into barbarians. You oculd then use the events to give them units. Also, I dont think Manchuria should be part of Russia, but rather it seems to me that it should only have Russian units there. Shouldn't it be Amsterdam and not Amsterdamm?

Many of the city names are slightly mispelled, as are many leader names . It also seems like warfare is highly tilted toward the attacker, which definitely wasn't the case in this period, generally. Also, Infantry have as high movement as Cavalry, which shouldn't be the case, nor should they treat all spaces as roads, that gives them far too much mobility. As the British, I was able to take all of Spain and Portugal and kill all the partisans on the first turn only using the units in Gibraltar, I was also able to take Bangkok, Lhasa, Kabul and Kandahar on the first turn, and all Neutal cities in Africa by the second turn.

I agree that you should split the Neutrals and give the Barbs some cities. Also the US should be in control of Cuba and Panama. Britain should have Belize. It doesn't have any transports either, which doesn't make sense when maintaining a large empire. Many of the Neutral cities need to be heavily garrisoned and be larger.

It looks like nobody really starts off with having had contact with anyone else. Just in the first turn, I saw Japan take Tsingtao from the Germans, but sign a treaty with the Russians before Port Arthur was taken.

Japan also cancelled its alliance with Britain and I saw US troops invading the Japanese mainland. And every civ asked me for a peace treaty, which led me to that conclusion that there was no contact made prior.

On a more general level, the sense needs to be made that in this period, Britain is in decline vis-a-vis the other powers, particularly the US and Germany.

I also agree that a cities.txt is needed, and a Sounds folder as well.

I hope you don't think I'm being too critical, this scenario has a lot of potential and I look forward to playing a more complete version. It seems like it would be great for PBEMing
