Got spare money?

I've got a BIG question. Why is my name BEAVIS when I play a game!? Butthead would have been preferable.

It isn't worth it unless there are some scns for it in the net. Are there? (Some links?)

Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

It comes with a half dozen different starting points (~scenarios).

Many parameters are easy to customize, and players often tweak various components to suit their tastes or their historical interpretations. You'll particularly enjoy the event language...quite robust.

A scenario editor in the hopper that should be out soon (not something they promised prior to the purchase, but something it looks like they will deliver shortly anyway...kinda the opposite of another recently released strategy game). Once it is out, customizing will probably be comprable to what it is in CIV 2.

Beavis must be the name your computer has been given. My original name in EU2 was PC02, the name given during the installation of Windows.

You can find a variety of scenarios right here. EU2 is also one of the easiest games to tweak to your own liking, as events are in plain text and can be altered using notepad. There also are additional scenerios made by various individuals that you can find upon search the forum boards.

That's a good stop for EU 1 stuff, but the only things there for EU 2 are a few variants of the standard scenarios. EU 2 is a bit too new, still, to have developed a large body of work. The built-in variety and replayability probably lessons the demand for alternative scenarios, also. There are some teams that are trying to develop some pretty ambitious projects, but I'm not sure how far along they are. Plus some would-be designers may be waiting for the scenario tool.

Note, however, that some parameters are not going to be editable, like you're used to, particularly the map, the units, and the technology.

Certain aspects of the technolgy and units ARE editable. For instance you can tweak the technology combat table to your hearts content to make more advanced technolgy more or less decisive depending of your preference.

It uses the name you gave your computer when you installed windows.
