Tossing Around Ideas for Next Scenario Increase the size of your Attachments

Once I finish up Fictional Americas 1.1, I will eventually start working on another scenario. At the moment I am thinking of:

Orient Express - build a railroad from Paris to Constantinople
Rise of the Franks - Clovis & Co kick Visigothic posterior
Fictional Americas II - The second wave of invasion

What do you guys think?

Your ideas sound terrific.

Now I've had an idea that I've been kicking around my little 'ol brain. How about this:

A scenario set in the ancient world. The goal: to capture (not build) the Wonders of the Ancient World! These Wonders would include: the Pyramids, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Stonehenge, Easter Island, the Great Library at Alexandria, etc.

Each Wonder would have a specific 2D graphic and would be worth x amount of points. So you earn points by capturing the wonders and not by capturing cities.

In addition, when each Wonder is captured, more citizens are made happier AND you receive previously hidden knowledge (thus the secrets of these Wonders, the civilization that built them, and the knowledge they contain, are all slowly revealed to the player). The winner is whoever captures all of the Wonders. It would need a large map of the world.

I just thought I'd throw in my two cents worth

I am unclear on what exactly your logic was in coming up with the said conclusion.

What we don't have out there today is a really good space wars scenario.
All the ones we do have are little and outdated.
I think you should write a new, better space wars scenario.
Or...
You don't see too many Pacific based scenarios. Could do one of them, like ancient Pacific.
Could include the Khemers, Srivijayans, Siamese, Burmese, Tibetans, Chinese and Japanese.
Or...
You also never see middle asia (Turkestan and Kazakhstan area) scenarios. I think one based in modern times set in the area of the former Soviet republics would be a good idea. You could have Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgzistan, Russia and Iran. Or something like that.

Anyone of these ideas have yet to be really done up in a good scenario.

Got spare money?

I made a Central Asian scenario a while back but it does not meet your "good" criterion. It is centasia in the Apolyton archives.

Leo, I toyed with the idea of an apocalyptic scenario with a trade unit that needed to go from the East coast to the West. Never materialized but sounded neat.

I could write something using my MOOjr 2.0 engine, hmm...

Uhm, the AI's a total moron when it comes to navies, so Pacific is out of the question.

The land shape and terrain would be too dull. Besides, modern scenarios are either boring or unrealistic.

I really need to make that Orient Express one then.

Do you like Star Trek Leo? The one that just came out isn't exactly a great scenario, but the graphics are nice, perhaps you could do something with them?

Referring to WarVoid
Why? That was a good idea!!!
I made a Fictional scenario a few years ago ( using Civ2 - the oldest version ); i called it China - the red dragon wars; it looked much like yours - including Americans, Eastern Asians, Vietnamese, Indians, Muslim asians and, of course, Russians and Chinese.
It was my second scenario, so pictures and features were not so good, but now i can change them better way ( i'm a Net "pivello"- how we use to say in Italy - , a freshman-like ). If you are still interested in, please send an e-mail to fratelli.goddi@tiscalinet.it.

Maybe i'll try that after my newcoming scenario, "The rise of Kok Turks", just in order to change geographic areas: i'm going to get bored of Medieval central Asia scenarios !!!
But also a byzantine scenario might be pretty to perform ...

Why don't you do something based in the Balkans? I'd love to see a scenario about the liberation wars between the Slavs, the Turks and the Austrian/Hungarians!

To Stefan Hartel
To be honest, i'm not so much interested in modern history.
Perhaps a medieval scenario based on Avar's history, including Slavs, Byzantium, Longobards, Franks and Persians ... I'm interested on the Avaric Khan Baina - he might be the center of this scenario, as well as Samo, his Frank counterpart ( in spite the fact he ruled a Slavian nation ). Can you give me more hints about these historical figures?

Please, check out the Civ2-Creation "Geographic guy"'s topic...
P.S. about lemmings: translated into italian, this joke becomes a lot vulgar ...

You are interested in a scenario about the Byzantines? I made one about two month ago or so. If you go to my website you can download it. It's also here at Apolyton but then without sounds.

What do you think about a medieval scenario centered on Serbians, Turks, Bulgars and Bizantynes, instead ?

Another good scenario could be "The northern Crusade", featuring the 1127 European expedition against pagan Slavs settled in nowadays former Eastern Germany. Crusaders, axemen, a lot of blood, screams, fire, cutten heads ... all for God's glory !!!

( pretty cruel, huh? Perhaps it's too much for you... but not for meeeeehhhh!)

Yay for resurrecting ancient threads.

The problem is that I'd be rooting for the other side.
