European Map Beta 2

[Mange]

An update to my European map. Changes:

Reduced oil and fish to make it a little more balanced
Added Romans/Italians
Changed diplomacy so that now you can ally or declare war on the ai
changed around a few resources for balance

That was fun. But it took me for ever to finish the game. Every civ declared war on me except the weakest one who allied with me. He was the most useless ally ever. I killed every other civ and he never ever attacked. I was done all 4 end techs before he got to the 6th age, and I had donated him 20 000 res.

Anyway in end I had taken 53 cities, killed 1653 units, and lost 555 units. And even with 1.8G 512DDR RON is just like AOK was where once the game gets interesting it plays in slow motion.

But that's not your fault. Cool map and a good scenario. Just takes a while.

I forgot the funny part, other than the ally who was a net drain and no benifit. The Spanish were the third weakest and the Egyptians the 2nd weakest. Egypt only had 3 cities, but Spain took the Armagedon counter from 9 to 2 on those 3 cities.

Of course I was attacking Spain at the time but I had missle shield so Spain made it easier for me to take Egypt once I had finihsed Spain. It was pretty funny watching a nuke got off in Egypt every couple of minutes.

Is this the same Mange that made all those sweet fighter skins for BF42?

This is the same voodooc that made that horrible hack of a map called 2FORT42.

[Mange]

Yes, the same Mange. And ty for the compliment.

This is the same Darth that enjoyed cheating the hell out of Team Fortress for Quake

Great map. I was pretty passive most of the time, until right about the Medieval age when everyone decided to declare war on someone. I had to fight off the French, then invaded and took a German city east of France. I then just messed around with France the rest of the game, had reduced like everything in France to rubble when the game ended. Ended by Armageddon, I only used 3 nukes but I decided to use the final one to trigger it, AI is pretty nuke happy when they have the ability. But it was lots of fun, had some great battles trying to control the French coast.

On the map itself its pretty good also, but it seems you're wasting alot of space with all the water west/northwest of Britain. I'd be fine with things being a little geographically incorrect if it could get slanted more that way. Enough work and maybe Egypt could actually be in Egypt, and you'd make room for Nubia/Greece and possibly Mongols. But I don't know how easy it'd be to re-do everything now.

Besides for that is there an easy way to change the difficulty level and nation you play as? Haven't edited RoN yet but i'd like to be able to change the level upwards and play some different nations on the map. Anyway, thanks for the great map again, can't wait to see more.

Edit- Just looked at the editor, changing that stuff around was pretty easy. Is 8 civs the max you can play at once though? If it is the map is good how it is, though I still think you might change Egypt to Nubia since they were around that area and its odd to have an Egypt without Egypt.
