Evening, all :goodjob:. This is a scenario based on Byzantine Emperor
Justinian`s Reconquest of north africa, italy and souther iberia.
Patch 1.61 Europe map
Civs:
Byzantium
Russians
Franks
Vandals
Arabs
Sassanids
Saxons
Thuringians
Ostrogoths
Visigoths
Celts

:D I had some spare time and updated it,
city names corrected, the rus now only have
novgorod , 2 settlers and a few Axemen.

Man, you're just making these scenarios like there's no tomorrow!

thanks. i`ve been working on some of these for awhile, though.
any comments on the above scenario?

If you know how, can you post pictures of your scenarios?

Certainly ;) .Here they are:

This map is perfect!!!! I love it!:goodjob: Just one small thing. A few of the cities on the map dont have the right names. Such as Syracuse being called Nanjing etc.

this map came with the 1.61 patch, by the way. I
will be re-viewing the scenario quite soon and
discrepancies like Nanjing will be corrected.:)
EDIT: discrepancies like Nanjing now corrected.

Man i think you shouldmake the map smaller and the byzantine took for ever to fortify and start building.....other than that its great

yeah, sorry `bout the fortify and builds. with the map, its the patch 1.61
europe map, as ive said before, but i havent the patience to trim off rows of tiles in notepad. sorry.

goddammit. [ accidental double post ]

lol i took italy yay! and parts of france then game ended i lost

mabey make it smaller in v2 i meen not that small er just enough so it dont take 20 mins to get fully ready lol

try for the vandals. not very strong. ;)
NOTE: the well promoted knight is Belisarius.

a question to those who played it: what does arabia do? i intended them to
attack persia.:mischief:

Well I'm your man, I took Persia onto Baghdad quite easy, but almost immediately Justinian declare war on me, so I have to stop and get back to the threnches with my camel archers and archers. It is very rough to survive :mad:.

What I don't like is that the techs are flying over for Byzantium, something like 30 turns later I got Byzantium Cavalry over me :lol: the resistance was futile.

Nevertheless the game is fun, I know that the mod is the vanilla warlords, my suggestion is to limit the turns and change and force the speed to marathon for example in order to slow down research.

In my opinion you better can check the modpacks available and select a suitable one for this scenario.

well done:goodjob:

Very nice! :goodjob:

2 minor thoughts:

1. make Byzantium Christian!

2. remove Petra. It was largely destroyed by earthquakes ~350, and then abandoned.

Note to those who've played. Can you play as any other civs or just the Byzantium?

byzantines rule. oh and Blake4000 i think you can.

:goodjob: other than byzantines taking too long to prepare, and not being able to play the persians, great scenario! I echo useless: GO BYZANTINES!

Looks nice, I'll try it later

Is this for warlords or vanilla?

Patch 1.61 was for Vanilla, so it's compatible with Vanilla only. Would you like it updated to BtS?

Would you like it updated to BtS?
Yes, of course ;)

Okay, I'm working on it.

whats with the big hole where poland and perhaps some western ukrainian cities should be?

No cities were built in those areas at that point in history.

might want to stick a few barb cities in there to represent the slavs

Let me start this by saying I play as Justinian on marathon and emperor.

Great great scenario but I wish there was a way to slow down the years to maybe like spring/summer/fall/winter year. I play on marathon and it still seems to fly by too fast.

Also, significantly slow down research. On emperor (and marathon) its a bit too easy to move into italy and beyond with justinian's forces against archers, spearman, and warriors.

The AI seems a bit dumber and non-agro than normal as well.

Any chance this could get upgraded to Warlords or BTS?

any thoguths about BTS?
