A Colonization scenario

[Miznia]

I think this could turn out well. Three factions would be colonizers (English French Spanish) and the other four would be American natives. The colonizers would be set to Raze captured cities instead of keeping them and not building.

The Indians would have low tech and be set to "peaceful" so as not to fight with each other.

I'd have to get rid of Planet Busters and nerve stapling, though, because I don't think they really fit in. The Council might not work, either.

Has anyone already done this? I think SMAC might be able to do this better than Civ2, because of the razing thing.

Duh, now that civ3 is on stores, why not try this with it. I LOVE SMAC but the sci-fic looking units and alien terrain does not really fit well for earth-based scenarios.
As for your troubles, u could try the following.

PBs. u can easily disable them. I think in the Alpha(x).txt, u can disable specific units chassi (all missiles) and weapons. You'll have to search a few, cause i didn't' edited it for a while.

For the council, try to make either the natives or the colonizers aliens (if u have SMACx 'f course) Aliens have no diplomatic contacts between them or with the humans faction. Also, aliens are always at war each other, so if u want the natives to co-operate, u should make the colonizers aliens. I think it's the only way to get rid of the council.

No way to get rid of nerve strapling for what i know.

Thanks for the suggestions.

As for Civ3, though, I don't believe you're able to make scenarios at this point... So it's either Civ2 (which I've already tried a couple of times) or a stab at it with SMAC.

the prob is (like the pre-discussed ww1 mod) to plant an earth theme into an alien world, to implement pre-industrial tech into a freaked out high tech environment, to reassemble devastating mechas into low tech units like cavallry...

to be honest: i don't think it will work - SMAC is way to SCIFI for such a project... what do you think about a parallel world - like shadowrun? this might work.

But i thought Civ3 had a very powerful scenario editor. However, i still have to SEE it, cause i'm a mac user.

Anyway, back to SMAC, i fear u would be disapointed by the result, or u would have to imagine speeders to be cavalry, cause there is no known way to edit unit's graphics, and u can only define a few (around 8) custom graphics.
