Start Position Scenario Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I was bored at work this lunchtime so I created a scenario that acurately maps our starting terrain (I used the turn 5 pic). The rest of the map is just randomly generated with same params as the game. Thought it may help people visualize or try out some of the plans under discussion in a single player sandbox enviroment plus it gives me an excuse to start a new game .
The zip password is the same as the saved games.

EDIT: Updated for turn 7.

Nice. Then we can play ahead without breaking the honour code.
(playing ahead on the real save is very bad)

Now, we won't need all the number crunching and the boring micro planning. Just playtest the alternative plans from turn 6-9 and report it to the consulate.

I've already posted on of these in the topped Ministry of the Interior thread. I plan to keep it up-to-date at that location.

Heh, no problem. If yours is better, we'll use that one instead! It's just that I like to keep things sort of organized, to avoid confusion. Threads multiply at an absurd rate...

I hope that we can keep an up to date scenario with all the terrain that we have discovered. We might even set up a MP scenario based off inteligence which would simulate wars between players, etc.

Got spare money?

Yeah I could update it every few turns depending on how much exploration or map trading is done during said turns.

Here is a scenario with what we've seen (mostly) up to turn 11. The terrain should be on the actual map coords that it is in the real game.

I made a few guesses as to terrain in the FoW, but only in cases where the base terrain seemed rather obvious. Any luxuries, resources, or in some cases Forests that are on these FoW tiles in the real game won't be represented. In a few instances I included tiles beyond the FoW, mainly to make the Jungles look more accurate (the way they 'bond' together changes the shape along the FoW).

Aeson, I plan to keep an up-to-date testing scenario in the Ministry of the Interior topped thread. I have not updated since our start since our explorations to the South will undoubtedly require a revision in any scenario we create at this point. Once we get an idea of what we're gonig to expand into, we can start some economic planning (I'm assuming we're not going to settle the desert first...).

Don't mean to be stepping on any toes, but I put together that scenario for my own purposes and figured that until your official one is updated some people might find it useful as well.

Feel free to use the coords I pinpointed for our starting position. Will make things easier to update later on.

Heh, I did not mean to downplay your contribution. I just like having things in one place. If you keep your test scenarios more up-to-date than mine, we'll probably start using yours instead!

The coordinates idea is a good one. I've never used a test scenario beyond turn 40 or 50, but imagine it's still useful after the first turns have been played out (maybe more so, but just a lot more work).

Suffering from ads?

I ran through the scenario to give a rough idea of where I see us at around 1000BC. Obviously scouting may turn up city sites we can't see but will want to use by then. Also the tech path is just to show how deep into the tree we can get by that time. I researched Literature (I have no idea why), otherwise we could be halfway done with The Republic.

The third hut I got nothing from, and the S set of barbs killed my Warrior (and the next one who went to clear them out), so we definitely could do better. I also don't think I managed our Game tile as well as I could have..

To be honest, in the QSC (a competition up to 1000BC) over at CivFanatics GOTM, this wouldn't be that bad a start compared to most. Normally a city count of 10+ is pretty good by that date, and we can get 11 + 2 Settlers in position this way. I think I went a little overboard with Workers, so maybe a Settler or two more could be fit in (or some NM's).

Definitely a lot of tweaking we can do. Here are the files:

Saves from each turn, 2590-1000BC (1.75MB)

-or-

Just the 1000BC save (39.2KB)

ps. please don't lynch me for building the second city inland on the river... it's important!
