Jay Bee's Scenarios

[alf]

yo quisiera votar a mas de uno, de hecho a seis, pero no me deja.
He jugado con ellos siendo varias civilizaciones en cada uno y puedo decir que siempre he disfrutado con ellos, pedir uno solo es como decir qué jugador del madrid te gusta mas... anda escoge entre Figo, Roberto Carlos, Helguera, Raul... imposible.
A ver si se cambia eso para poder aportar seis vtos... o voto seis veces claro.

Hmm, qué buena idea para una poll... Aunque yo, personalmente, me quedo con Figo. Perdón por desviarme del tema de discusión.

No vale alf, tienes que votar a uno solo. Venga, ya se que te gusto mucho el del antepasado de los batasunos

[alf]

para votar a uno solo he optado por el "pinto-pinto gorgorito....", algo muy poco serio, metodo al que opté para resolver mi grave duda... cual de los 6 escenarios a los que he jugAdo con diferentes civilizaciones y he disfrutado, mucho debía votar.

I voted for Mexico because that covers what I find to be an interesting part of history. It is a nice change from the usual civ game. That said, I enjoy Of Celts and Iberians very much. I still haven't finished it, tho. Also, El Dorado was a very fun short game, very creative use of the civ tools.

How could I NOT vote for "Celts and Iberians"? It's the only scenario whose opening words brought tears to my eyes and chills to my spine. Still does. And it's a first rate piece of work, too.

Oh, finally out of that blasted hospital!!!! That's why i voted for Celts and Iberians, it made me remember of all of these happy moments playtesting it...

I voted for war of Cuba ( , Jay Bee I liked it best mainly because I knew what was going on best (having made a similar scenario myself). I enjoyed them all...I think the easiest one had to be the first version of Grenada (where Jay Bee forgot to downgrade the general unit, who mops the floor once you get him)...but really one of the ones I liked alot wasn't included, and it wasn't spanish pride! it was his entry into the first scenario contest, which I judged. His won (if I remember correctly), and was an excellent scenario on the ethiopian conflict (it was called Sable-Colonial Wars). My hat's off to you Jay-Bee, for being one of the 3 best scenario makers ever!

[Jay Bee]

No, I came in second place. You thought Sable wasn't hard enough Blackclove won with his Menelik entry, a top-notch scenario. But I was more than satisfied with my 2nd place ribbon, considering I made that scenario in only three days. It's an unfinished scenario and I think it awfully shows!!!

What happened to your Philippines project? I know it's been ages since then but, why don't you open a thread to talk about it? There is lots of knowledgeable people on the subject around.


PS. You were not supposed to bribe the general in Granada!!!

[Hoek]

Yeah, yeah....I know...but remember, you gave me and stefan hartel copies of the scenario before anyone else...we were the ones who revealed the problem .

I guess I could restart it, but I think I'd need some collabrative help. I am not that great at making graphics, but I am knowledgeable about it, and I already made a map (I wonder if it is still in the CSC database). Basically, I'd do it if somebody were willing to help me with graphics and whatnot (it would also cut back on time spent significantly). I guess I'll post a "help wanted" ad in the Scenario league and Civ 2 creation forums

[Hoek]

I remember I also had an idea to do a scenario based on the banana wars in the first half of the 20th century. I guess I could post a help wanted ad for that one too.

Woho!

Was checking out the Sumptious Scenarios by J. Balsinde...

Whilst downloading the Alba America scenario I read the quote...

" "Many years have to lazily pass until a time comes
in which the ocean opens the barriers of the world.
An immense land will be discovered and Thetys will reveal new worlds.
No longer will Thule be the last of the lands"
--Seneca, 'Medea'"

Is this a true quote?

If it is, how did the Romans, and their predecesors know of the 'immense land' across the ocean?

By the way I sent of Age of Constantine to the Spanish Civilization II site for evaluation...

Speculation? the Atlantean myth?

Got it

Decisions....

Many of J. Balsinde (I preffer this official name, he deserves it for his quality scenarios) are excellent and the others are good. For example I am playing the Al Andalusia scenario. Aimed at pushing the Moors out by reconquering the south first to Heulva and Cadiz. Then moved east but all my siege engines were taking awhile to get to the destination. Then El Cid came to the rescue!

Excellent Event!

Yo he votado por Cuba.
Aunque históricamente era un guerra imposible de ganar, el escenario te da el gustillo de la "revancha histórica". Los gráficos son bastante buenos, la historia está muy bien recreada y la jugabilidad del escenario muy bien diseñada. Con la guerra en 2 frentes, siendo el oriental mucho más difícil, te obliga a acabar rápidamente con el occidental. El escenario te obliga a construir ferrocarriles, carreteras y barcos para aprovechar tu superioridad técnica sobre los insurrectos. Pero como éstos se refuerzan rápido con unidades muy baratas y efectivas en el ataque, no puedes tomarte ni un respiro. Al mismo tiempo, tus unidades son muy difíciles de reemplazar. Es uno de los mejores escenarios de guerra que he jugado, si no el mejor.
