And now for something completely different...

[Stefan Härtel]

Here's the first screenshot from my latest project. Everything that is completed can be seen on it. That isn't very much, I fear, but there's much, much planned for it.
Anybody got an idea what this could be?
If I get it all the right way, it will be completely different to anything that has been here before... but I still need the final flash to get it that way

[Shaka Naldur]

impressive, some thing about ancient greece???
what happen to your project of WWI in Africa?

[Dr. Nick]

OMG! He's going to convert the heathen saxons!

[Michael Daumen]

Or get raided by Vikings,

Or portray a book by Katherine Kurtz.

Nope, 1000 years too early

what happen to your project of WWI in Africa?

Temporarily shelved, though not dead. I occasionally get back to it, but it grows slowly.

OMG! He's going to convert the heathen saxons!

Dream on
We're going to explore new grounds, but we won't get radical

[edit: Argh! Mike, you're so fast! And... uh no, the Vikings won't be in the game]

When I looked at the screenshot my mind rapidly pictured a wonderful scen on the invasion of Ireland by the Tercios of Philip III

[our_man]

A scenario on the Battle of Kinsale? It doesn't look like that to me - besides, the Irish (despite the help of our gallant Spanish allies ) got hammered by the English, and what fun would that be to play?

My guess is something Irish too though. Something to do with St. Columba? A scenario about the Irish keeping the flame of knowledge alive during the dark ages, "The Island of Saints and Scholars"?

[giz.moe]

Looks like the first scottish monastery.. Is this about St. Columba?

Iona was a famous monestary off the eastern coast of Dalriada, also known as Scotland. It was most prominent around the year 800, when the British Isles were still divided up between many powers. The only "pagan" power left at that time was Mercia. That about sums up my entire knowledge of it.

My guess is it's a scenario about the conquest of the Picts by the Scots, who were pushed out of Ireland into Strathclyde and subsequently the rest of the northern highlands.

I envision a new pacific scenary, where some Irish monasteries figth for knowlegde and influence, but with trade units and diplomats units, not with combat units. This scen is pure empire-building, and that is the reason we can label it as 'different'

I'm dreaming, I think

[Shadowstrike]

I'm betting that Stefan is going to make a scenario based on Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

*sacks poster*

[Boco]

Let me contribute a wave file for the scenario.
