This is what was inn the mail I sent Shaka:
quote:
Thanks! It is about the Swedish-Polish war of 1655
There are lots of special rules and stuff (forests for example will
detract from your defence bonus). Any european nation is playable there are:
Habsburgs (I think you know who these guys are  )
French (these too)
Swedish (not that hard to figure out either)
Danish (also includes the dutch, I would like a better name for this civ
but I havent come up whit one yet)
Protestants (England, Transylvania, a few german cities and Brandenburg)
Polish (these are the Polish Lituan comonwealth)
Russians (guess who these are)
You will notice that the scenario intro text is really big, it will be
smaller when I write the readme but untill then it is needed.
The situation when the scenario starts is this:
The newly crowned Swedish king is an almost absulte monarch, he never
felt appriciated untill he got assigned to the army during the late
stages of the thirty years war and he really likes the life in the
field, he is also a great gambler and enyojs taking risks.
The Polish Lituan comonwealth is under attack by the Russians and is
also fighting a civil war in Ukraine. They are very divided and the king
is constantly squabling whit his nobility. The polish army consists
mostly of Hussars (polish knights) and there is almost no infantry or
modern fortifications...
Sweden has just finnished of the 30 years war and has a large army that
they need to dispose off, that army is also a very experienced and
modern one, almost the opposite from the polish.
An old Swedish dream has allways been "Dominium Maris Baltici" the total
domination of the baltics. Danzig is the only major port and rivermouth
that isn't Swedish, Sweden ses its chanse and jumps at it.
A swedish army lead by the king himself enters the comonwealth trying to
grab hold of the entire Polish part of the baltic coast. But when they
see how unmodern the Polish army is Karl X Gustav of Sweden (the king)
makes a bold move:
He will march towards Warzaw not Danzig...
The Russians are lead by Tzar Aleksej, Russia used to be cought in civil
strife but it is now united. While the Russians where fighting
internally both the Polish and the Swedish tried to grab as much as
possible of Russia and succeded. Russias goal is to take back what was
lost during these years. Russia is however more modernized than Poland
and has a small but well equipped army...
The Danes are constantly trying to make life a hard time for the Swedes,
they haven't quite accepted that Sweden is now the dominating Power in
the baltics, and they still have controll over Öresund...
The Dutch want balance in the baltics, if the Swedish do get Danzig it
isn't going to benefit the dutch trade...
They make a mutual defence pact whit Denmark...
Frederik Wilhelm of Brandenburg is quitly supporting Karl X Gustav in
his war against the comonwealth and allows Swedish troops to use
Brandenburg soil to enter the Polish-Lituan comonwealth.
Racoczy of Transylvania is totaly convinced that the Swedish king is a
saint that will save all protestants from the wretched catholics...
The only thing that hinders him from entering the war is his wife and
his mother in law, they both think that the Sultan wouldn't look kindly
of him attacking Poland (Transylvania is an Ottoman vassal but still a
protestant nation)
England is supporting everyone who bothers the Dutch...
Cromwell is quitly supporting the Swedes to.
The French are in thier golden age under Le Rio Solleille and
French-Swedish Relations have allways been good...
The Spanish are currently fighting the French in what is a leftover from
the thirty years war.
The Empire is quiete but is quitly supportive to Poland...
That is the situation when the game starts (I hope you could read it all
)
There are seasons incorporated in the scenario and they are working
quite well I think.
I have gotten reports about some of the sounds being non-functional,
please tell me if you have any problems.
All nations are running a deceit, this is becouse they are deep in debt
after the 30 years war. Sell some churches if you need to.
All nations get extra income from collonies/loans from time to time so
they will survive.
In the winter it is possible to use the frozen sea in Öresund to attack
the danish capital and the defending superfortress "Fredriksodde" is a
lot weaker in the winter too.
The scenario playtest version is available here: ftp://aspen.mine.nu/users/henrik
Download the .zip version since that is the PC version, the .bat files
are also usefull for changing seasons, but they arent perfected yet so
you will have to change the rules files yourself (srules for summer and
wrules fo winter).
Please tell me what you think

If anyone else would be interested

firsts coments
wow, awesome scenario
lots of cities, and a lot of units to start the scenario with
-I see that there are colons, I hope that the AI donīt found any new city, too many already
-IMHO the scenario is TOOOOOOOOOO long, I donīt think that a lot of people are going to play 400 turns, I think that between 200 and 300 would be ok and how fast the scenario moves itīs important in my opinion
-when an independent units is going to conquer one of your cities they ask you for money, if you pay them they donīt conquer the city and a lot of the units are disbanded
you should change the text in the game file
-the defense advanced fortress unit is too high, donīt think that the AI itīs going to conquer any city, at least put just one in every city, there are cities with FOUR of them!!!!!
-why is the siege cannon so expensive?????
-I think that the Copengahen island should be united to Scandinavia and the Jutland peninsula, to make it easier for the Danish
-road factor and sea movement itīs ok
-how how you made the independent cities unbribable?
-Mercantship attack is higher than the Warship one!!!!!!!!
-there should be and sea unit able to weaken fortress units
-to conquer Bayonne being Spain itīs going to be impossible, and way easier for the French to conquer Fuenterrabi (by the way, WHY Fuenterrabia??)
I like the scenario but I havenīt got into it yet, more comments when Iīll play more turns...
historical question:
do the royal roads follow a determined path or they are just ramdon?
why are La Rochelle and Rochefort independent cities??

I have tried solve it making them very expensive and they spend a lot of food.

Well, I know that is a bit long (348 turns) but it is the 30 years war and I can do anything. I have tried to make more dinamic and interesting with mulitevents.

Have you got MGE? when I play independents donīt ask that.

|
I donīt think so, which city has 4 of them?Can you say to me if any nation can build it, i amnot sure? With some siegue cannons you can conquer every city.
quote:
-why is the siege cannon so expensive?????
|
Because it is very powerfull and I donīt want a great deal af them conquering cities.
quote:
-I think that the Copengahen island should be united to Scandinavia and the Jutland peninsula, to make it easier for the Danish
|
Really Danish was very weak in this war and it protects from Swedish and Imperials attacks. In some times the Danish king refugiated in his islnads to escaped from foreign armies.
quote:
-how how you made the independent cities unbribable?
|
Changing the goverment of Barbarians to Democracy.
quote:
-Mercantship attack is higher than the Warship one!!!!!!!!
|
Sorry is my fault, I have put its cost as attack, solved.
quote:
-there should be and sea unit able to weaken fortress units
|
Well, I can make higher the attack value of the warships.
quote:
-to conquer Bayonne being Spain itīs going to be impossible, and way easier for the French to conquer Fuenterrabia
|
I have the problem that Spanish played with AI always bribe that city and I donīt know how prevent it, what dificult the conquest of Fuenterrabia?
quote:
(by the way, WHY Fuenterrabia??)
|
It was a important city in the conquest of French in Navarre, it was siegued several times and it was the Spanish door in West Pyrennes
quote:
do the royal roads follow a determined path or they are just ramdon?
|
Well, I have tried to show the Spanish road from Italy to Netherlands and the easily of movement of the armies in Germany they can go between diferent dukedom and independent cities without problems (in some cases, of course)
quote:
why are La Rochelle and Rochefort independent cities??
|
They where Hugenot since the French religious wars in the late XVI century, in fact, Richelieu conquested them in 1629 with the famous siegue of La Rochelle.
