You should probably get the Time Threat Paradox which must be installed BEFORE you install the v1.1 patch (or the patch re-installed after). Both are available at the Cradle: http://coc.apolyton.net

Then, apart from the scenarios at CoC, there are techumseh's scenarios:
http://www.tecumseh.150m.com/

and Kestrel's modpacks:
http://www.users.bigpond.com/kestrel18/favourites.htm

As for the rest, there are a few in development, particularly Boco's El Aurens and curtsibling's Dictator 3 and Bitterfrost.

I can't really make any judgements on the "must-be" part, but this'll get you started.

Be sure to do a complete job of editing the files before playing the scenarios, otherwise you get the wrong gifs.
I think TOT is the best version of Civ. Also Europe in Flames if you like WW2 and all of Curt's scenarios.

Hey, looks like EA increased the number of potential ToT owners Boco. Nice work!

As well as the superb El Aurens, Tech's Russian Civil War and Roman Civil War scenarios are 'musts'. Curt's Bitterfrost is sure to be a 'must-play' as well, when it's released. Tech had a couple of really nice scenario's under development as well, but I haven't heard from him in some time. Anyone know where he is? Boco?

TOT has more unit slots, possibly more tech slots and for sure more event capabilities. Some people have used the multiple map feature as well to good effect. There is probably more that I can't think of right now.

RL kicked in with a vengeance for Techumseh — free time went to zip. He's the ToT grand wizard and is greatly missed. Play his scenarios to see what I mean.

IMHO, too much hype and $ for an evolutionary design, and an awful first visual impression.

There is an Amazon across the North Sea from you (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos...9262444-3437464). Is that any easier with Euros now, or are the shipping and duties still exorbitant?

Crap graphics. The stock ToT sprites are dingy and poorly drawn, and the terrain and interface are too dark. Considering the distance in time between civ2 and ToT, there wasn't enough to distinguish the two either.

For scenario design, however, the advantages of ToT over MGE are numerous: 15-bit graphics, multi-map scenarios, more units, units turn to face the direction of movement, individual sound for units, more events space, a better set of events macros and more detailed rules; also the possibility of full-on multi-view sprites. Downsides? the combat graphic sequence has disappeared and the unit slide rate is slower. There's also no editor, but I wouldn't use the buggy FW editor anyway. BTW, if you don't like the new interface and city screen, these can be reverted to original civ views.

You can still order stuff from them, but the shipping really adds up. I've ordered books off US Amazon in the past, and even after the high shipping costs are factored in have ended up saving money compared to the insane prices which are charged for books in this country.
