As you might have guessed, this scenario is about the spanish armada of 1588... Philip II's grand design to overthrow protestant England and place a catholic on the throne of England.

Thats okay In the process of adjusting minor details and adding a few more events, so I'll appreciate any feedback you might have, brief or longish.
The thing I'm probably most interested in is if the scenario is too easy, or too hard. The english are protected by The Tower (great wall) for some time, but when that wonder is cancelled by Naval Tactics, they should really feel the pressure coming on... Not sure if the scen is too easy playing as the brits, they really 'just' need to defend themselves in order to get a decisive win.
It is possible for the dutch to get a marginal win by kicking out the spaniards and protecting themselves from the Armada.
The spanish player is no doubt the most powerful and wealthy, but are hampered by civil disorders caused by troops away from cities. They are also the about one civ who will be able to research more than a couple of techs during the scen, while most others are dependant on trading techs, or stealing them. I'd really like to hear a report playing as the spanish -also the civ who will probably make the longest game, since they have the largest military and the most difficult objectives...The Slim End Of The Long Tail -

Hardjoy, did you shrink BeBro's city graphics or am I going crazy in my old age?

Yes... basically all the graphics are made from a combination of work from scratch or 'borrowing' of pieces from here and there, and shining them up to fit what I wanted. The feudal ones are all mineOriginally posted by St Leo

hardjoy, if you want all Belgian city names how they are called in here (so not in English ):
Bruges -> Brugge
Antwerp -> Antwerpen
Ghent -> Gent
Brussels -> Brussel/Bruxelles (at that time, it was still called Brussel)Alexandr Yopov, Commander of the Murmansk front in the Red Front democracy game. Fighting for the glory of our marchal and the Rodina.Comment
