Here it is, my first scenario for civ3! USA is not quite finished, but i'll post what I have so far. The scenario is something like this:

"In 1979, when Iranian religous fanatics invaded a U.S. Embassey and took a number of hostages, then-president Jimmy Carter took the sane and intelligent route out of the situation, but what if he hadn't? Considering the state of nuclear readiness at that time, the result might have been something like this."


Yes, this is a quote about the original WW79 scenario for civ 2 in the civ2 gold manual.

what is the size of the map ? Long to load? wotks with 1.29 ?

It's a huge map. Kind of long to load, but shorter than "Now" scenario. Yes, it works with 1.29.

Here's the finished product. Enjoy!

(I have moved the finished product to a post near the bottom)

My computer is too slow for huge maps... I will just try with xp, not 98...

I see it's been downloaded. Any comments?

Yeah it looks pretty good so far. I am playing as the Soviets

Some more feedback would be nice. Thanx Drynagolt.

K, here is one prob i think. FOr the Russian city on the black sea, there are a lot of naval units, but the problem is they can;t go anywhere. At least not now. I am not sure if there is a "canal" through Istanbul, but even if there is it is kinda dumd for Russia.

I did that on puropse. It gives you an incintive to attack the middle east. You can use the editor to move them into the mediteranian if you like....

wow just perfect!!!!! its almost exactly the same i forgot what it looks like but it seems like you added some pollution to parts of russia and also america (i think) has a little differenet cities in diff places but then again its accurate just perfect also could you make a readme file or something for when i upload it to the other site i will know what you want me to say and just PM the readme or whatever to me

:goodjob:, :goodjob:, :goodjob:, :goodjob:, :goodjob:, & very :goodjob:

Can I use my first post as my discription in the readme Incubus?

BTW, I'm glad you like it.

i'll assume the answer is yes

CRAP! I forgot Seoul! Sorry guys. Here it is WITH Seoul.

Two questions:

How do I change my civ from North America to Soviets or someone?
And does the WW start automatically, or do we have to start it?

To change, open up WW79 in editor. Go to Scenario, then player properties. Select player 2, North America, and deselect the human player option. Go to player 1, Soviet Bloc, and check "human player". Save and exit. ; You have to start the war.

Sounds good. This is the cold war gone wrong right? If so good - I've been tring to make my own sen for it as I couldn't find one (U might want to rename it to the cold war so people can find it).

Yes, this is a cold war WW3 map. No, I will not change the name because it is based on the World War 1979 Scenario for civ 2 and i want people to know that i'm not the origninal creater of this map, i am just the one who brought it to civ 3. (Does anyone know the name of the civ2 WW79 creater? I'd like to give him some credit in the intro.)

Good start, but lots of pretty important cities are missing. I'd recommend adding these:

AFRICA

N'djamena, Chad
Lagos, Nigeria
Johannesburg or Pretoria, South Africa
Nairobi, Kenya
Kinshasa, Zaire

CENTRAL/SOUTH AMERICA

Panama City, Panama
Mexico City, Mexico
Havana, Cuba
Port-au-Prince, Haiti
Bogata, Colombia
Carcaras, Venezuela
Lima, Peru
Rio de Janero, Brazil
Buenos Aries, Argentina
Santiago, Chile

EUROPE

Kiel - Should read Copenhagen

Berlin, Germany - Most of the Berlin-area was Soviet-dominated. Bonn was the West German seat of gov.

ASIA

Rangoon, Burma
Hanoi, Vietnam
Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam
Bangkok, Thailand
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Jakarta, Indonesia
Singapore
Hong Kong, U.K. territory (part of United Kingdom until 1997)

AUSTRALIA

Sydney
Perth
Darwin

New Zealand doesn't appear on map.

And a slight historical correction...

Iran and Iraq fought a bloody eight year war after the Ayatollah took power Iran. Tehran could work better as a barbarian city.

You are right, those are important cities, but my scenario is only the cities of the civ 2 scenario. Feel free to add these cities to your copy and post it in this, or another thread, but I am not going to add them.

you have placed China in siberia and nobody in China

that's the way it was in the civ 2 version, that's the way it's gonna stay. You can change it yourself though, i dont care, just give me some credit if u post it

I already unzipped it. into da scenarios
but when i load it, they said smth bout it not being a CV3 scenario map

u need version 1.29 to run it. what version do u have?

u need version 1.29 to run it. what version do u have?

oh....i see

no wonder... almost all of da other scenarios i d/l can't work

i haf da earliest version....civ 3 i think. smth like tt.
but da thing is i d/l da 1.29 patch.. and i patched it already.
then....i run da game and they said 'need correct CD to run da game'. sigh.....

thanks anyway

No problem. happy to help;) ;) ;)

put more city in the game

Anyone know of any mods or scenarios that are MAcintosh G3 compatible???? email @ tpc87@yahoo.com or post

this was by far my fav scenario in civ 2. Thank u for bringing it back to me!!

gosh, i feel stupid. How in the world do you add units?

nm, didnt have an active player. The only change i would make to the scenario would be to make hawaii a little more hospitable, more like marla's hawaii. Oh, and make it so you can chose which civ to be, and changed the dating system to weeks or months instead of years. Looks good!

I'm glad u like it raptor. I wish i could make it so u could choose your civ, but the crappy civ 3 editor wont allow it. I did explain a way to change your civ on the first page though. It's pretty simple, just open it up in the civ3 editor and go to Scenario, then player properties. Select player 2, North America, and deselect the human player option. Go to player 1, Soviet Bloc (or whichever civ you want), and check "human player". Save and exit.

Also, as far as I know, there is no way to change it to months. sorry

BTW, does anyone know if i can convert it to a PTW type scenario?

damn... im impressed by how accurate this is to the civ2 scenario. I was compariing it to this (yes i still play civ2 every once in a while) and i found it highly accurate. If only you could set up relations!

where the hell is the download??????

i wasn't aware this thread was dead

Wow, what a waste of a bump.

*cries* u didnt add Australia :( meh i added it myself so its all good. dunno how it'll go but yea :). hehe my lil australia is soo different to the modern one, fundamentalism as the fav. gov. lmao! but yea, wats wiff all un occupied territory... if im not mistaken about 99.99% of our planets surface has been claimed in some kinds of wierd and wonderful ways...... and 1979 man, lol, wtf?
