This scenario takes place in the year 1650. Spain, the greatest colonial power, lost the 30 Year War, lost control over Portugal and is begining to decay.
Portugal is trying to recover itself from the desastrous Iberian Union. The northeast of Portugals main colony, Brazil, is occupied by the Dutch.
The Republic of Venice is extremely decadent, and its ancient glory is now history.
The Habsburgs from Austria are now the virtual rulers of the Holy Roman Empire, although they were defeated in the 30 Year War.
The Ottomans now occupie Croatia and Egypt, but they are not as powerfull as the european powers.
France is now the owner of large areas in North and South America, and is becoming one of Europes main powers.
England, after the defeat of Spains "Invencivel Armada" now has the most powerfull navy in the world, and owns areas in North America and Asia.

This is how the World is divided:

England
France
Spain
Portugal
Habsburg Empire
Republic of Venice
Low Nations
Scandinavia
Poland
Russia
Ottoman Empire
Iran
India
China
Japan
African Nations

It's not. That's just the player starting location (check the city properties). The Palace is in Madrid.

Stalin006->Mexico is just a plyer start position, as Azale said. There is a Forbidden Palace there, though. Spains capital is Madrid.

Yoda-> Ill try toi fix Congo. Ill also try to think for a better name for that city. Maybe I should do some research on african tribes.

I realy like your scenario. :cool:

I think if you rework it a little bit (shorten the set-up time) it would be great for multiplayer :goodjob:

Play the World is coming Oct. 29th (they say) :king:

Let's hope it is not pushed back :crazyeye:

One question why can the AI attack me without causing war but when I counter attack I cause a war? :confused:

He may be using privateers, but when you attack him there should be no war.

Looking at it in the editor it looks very good.
Europe is a bit of a mess (but thats histories fault not yours); nothing a little conquering wont solve.

Nalves - I dont really know what you mean with the bic files but do you have Version 1.29 downloaded as that is often it. You can download from the official site.

thanks Phoenix.

Phoenix

Has that fixed it then?
If not I don't know what it is but it sounds like there is something wrong with your "pedicons" file (hope thats the right spelling).

Yes !!!
Thaks Phoenix:D

I tried it as the Portuguese, it is not easy.....

They have many cities, but all over the map ......:crazyeye:

I think that was the main reason for the fall of the empire. To control so many cities in so many places ....

So .... the game is realistic .

I will try other civilizations ... what civ do you sugest ?

For this scenatio what civ is the best to play ... not to easy, not to hard .... Take you votes :hmm:

I like to play as England cause you can then create a huge empire though there is a lot of work to do.

Also what about creating Naapoleans Empire with France?

luiz and matheusmilane, please write in English so others can understand you. It was also brought to my attention that you are flaming each other in Portuguese (as well as threadjacking), and with the help of babelfish at Altavista, I think it is best to restrict your access to CFC for a while. Your posts will be deleted.

A good one, but I can find these errors:

Spain is too powerful
Ottoman Empire is too weak
There was no nation of "Iran"
And navies aren't strong enough

I think this is for Civ3, Vanilla, because I can play it with Vanilla, and I haven't got PTW yet (financial problem ):(

NKorea_Nuke: Check out the PTW version of this scenario. Many problems have been solved.
