INTRODUCTION TO THE SCENARIO LEAGUE
Welcome to the Civilization 2 Scenario League. This forum is home to Civ2 scenario designers, playtesters, graphics artists and enthusiasts. The emphasis is on user created scenarios so if you enjoy designing or playing scenarios then you are in the right place!
As you will see in the 'Current Projects' there are a lot of scenarios under development. If you want to try out any of the scenarios made by the members here or by past masters please check the 'Links to related sites' section or 'Links to scenario archives' section. Our own Scenario League site (http://sleague.civfanatics.com/index.php/Main_Page) has some of the best and most recent scenarios but there are plenty of other great works out there!
If you are new to Civ2 and need advice on how to get anything to work please read the 'A guide to starting scenarios' section (post #9) or start a new thread about your issue and the members here will be happy to help. We hope you enjoy visiting the Scenario League :)
NOTE:
After our move to CFC from Apolyton our SL Wiki site (http://sleague.civfanatics.com/index.php/Main_Page) is still being rebuilt. If you want to help rebuild it (it is really quite easy!) please let us know in the SL Wiki Upload List (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=409484) thread which lists the pages that still need building.

I use the word "current" quite loosely. Some of these projects may be in long term rest period, but we hope they will one day see the light of day.
One reason for listing them here is to make them easier to locate if they drop off the bottom of page one...and bump them ;)

McMonkey Jan 24, 2011, 12:27 PM A GUIDE TO STARTING SCENARIOS
1) Make sure the scenario you wish to download is compatible with your version of Civilization. For example a scenario designed for Test of Time will not work if you only have Multiplayer Gold Edition and vices versus. You may also need to add a patch. If you are not sure look for a 'Read Me' text file in the scenario folder. This should state the version needed.
2) Unzip the downloaded scenario and put the folder into your Civ2 folder. I normally create a new folders called Scenarios to keep them in order. You can play the scenario from your desktop if you wish but keeping them somewhere in the Civ2 folder helps you keep track of things.
3) Make sure you check in the scenario folder for a notepad file called "Read Me" or "Players Notes". These documents may contain important information regarding the installation of the scenario as well as background info. Some scenarios come with a batch file that must be run before starting a game. The batch file normally re-names certain rules, events and graphics files automatically and you may need to repeat this at various points in the scenario. If you are running Windows XP or Vista you will need to download this: http://sleague.apolyton.net/images/7/70/CHOICE_APPLICATION.zip
Choice will allow XP and Vista to run the batch file.
If CHOICE.com does not work for you then try CHOICE.exe which can be downloaded in this thread: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?p=5615989#post5615989
4) If you encounter any problems that you cannot resolve please feel free to ask for help in this forum. Enjoy your scenario!
McMonkey Jan 24, 2011, 12:32 PM Looks like I managed to sneak in and post the first thread to christen the Scenario League in its new home. Do I get a prize?
I will do some work on it to make sure the links are up to date, the images are transfered to CFC and there is nothing on there that breaches the rules of our new host (I can only think of one possible baddy!). I would also like to expand a few of the sections. If anyone has any good ideas please let me know and I can edit them into the posts!
CurtSibling Jan 25, 2011, 02:42 AM You get massive thanks for putting this amazing thread together, sir! Bravo!
Though, one thing that springs to mind - I wonder if it is OK to link to Apolyton?
.
Magic_gorter Jan 25, 2011, 06:48 AM :goodjob: McMonkey and good to see that the threads in the scenario league at CFC is created.
@CurtSibling: Why should there be a problem linking to Apolyton?
CurtSibling Jan 25, 2011, 09:39 AM Probably no real problem from linking - Just being a bit paranoid! :)
McMonkey Jan 25, 2011, 01:33 PM I have to go through the links to ensure they are up to date. I also need to upload the images here (there aren't too many and they are mostly png files) as it seems wrong to expect Apolyton to keep hosting them for another site. I was told somewhere that if you link to an image on another site it take up some of their bandwidth (or whatever the correct term is), though I'm not sure how big a problem that is for larger sites like CFC and Apolyton.
@Magic_gorter
There is a version of this thread in the Civ2 Scenario creation forum. I was wondering if it might be a good idea to remove its sticky status. I will only be updating and maintaining the one here. To have two versions on the same site seems like a waste. Its up to you. If you want to keep the shorter version let me know and I can copy and paste the relevent posts periodically to make sure it is up to date. I don't mind either way :)
Magic_gorter Jan 26, 2011, 12:35 AM I will wait until the SL is visible for everyone and then unsticky the other thread.
amadeus Feb 08, 2011, 10:45 PM About Civ Tweak, etc.: is there any way to get them to run in Windows 7 64-bit? :D
McMonkey Feb 09, 2011, 11:12 AM I'm afraid I have no idea about Windows 7. Anyone?
Palaiologos2 Mar 15, 2011, 04:37 PM The scenario league link for the Imperum Romanum redux is broken; it leads to the apolyton thread which has its attachments show up as corrupted/removed.
Got the files from Catfish's cave. Just thought you should know.
Catfish Mar 16, 2011, 03:17 AM Different modpack. Same units (except for the forts), though.
CurtSibling Apr 04, 2011, 09:31 AM Seems like Poly un-earthed the old threads:

McMonkey Apr 05, 2011, 02:32 AM Better late than never I suppose.
CurtSibling Apr 05, 2011, 05:24 AM A measure that came too late, to be honest!
AGRICOLA Apr 05, 2011, 03:17 PM Well done, Poly! :goodjob:
There is so much useful information and some very interesting scen development history in the archives that I was really saddened to have lost it. :)
Thunderfall Jul 29, 2011, 06:18 PM I have added links to the forum and the wiki to the Civ2 menu drop down at the top of the forum.
It's great to have you guys here! The Scenario League wiki is very nice! :thumbsup:
McMonkey Jul 30, 2011, 03:00 AM Thanks Thunderfall. Its nice to be here!
gokudo Aug 19, 2011, 08:39 AM Just wanted to say hello, I was known as Rand al'Thor on Apolyton. Im SO glad that you're still alive. RL has kept me busy the last half year and I almost feared everything was lost. But here you are alive and kicking! :worship::banana::bounce:
And a short question: Where can I sign up for the new SL Wiki? I can't even promise to be a regular contributor due to busy real life but I have knowledge of many scenarios since "back then" 199X, so maybe I could help with some things (with your approval of course). And of yourse I'd like to regularly check out and comment on your new creations. :please:
McMonkey Aug 20, 2011, 02:35 AM You are more than welcome to contribute to the Wiki. There is still a lot that needs doing and for most of us free time is limited so the more working on it the better. In the top right hand corner of the Wiki screen there is the option to Log in / create account. Then all you do to add stuff is use the Upload file option which is located under the Toolbox section on the left hand panel. To edit the pages just use the Edit tab at the top of the screen. I learned how to make the pages by copying and existing page in edit mode, pasting it into the new page and adapting it to fit whatever scenario I was adding. There may be a little trial and error but its pretty user friendly. Thanks!
temurleng Nov 30, 2011, 08:18 AM Followed the "We Play Civ" link, but it was moved to- http://www.weplayciv.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?6-Other-Civ-Games
Oh, and followed Swedish link, but it's seems dead too. Couldn't google it, in case it moved.
McMonkey Dec 02, 2011, 03:21 PM Thanks for the info mate. I have updated the WePlayCiv link. Regarding the Swedish site. Its very sad to see another great old Civ2 site disappear. I think I will leave the link for a while in case it is a temporary issue but I won't hold out too much hope.
Cobra May 23, 2012, 06:07 AM Great work :)
McMonkey Jan 23, 2013, 09:08 AM I have updated this thread with the new releases from the past year and also the News section of the Scenario League Wiki page (http://sleague.civfanatics.com/index.php/Main_Page#NEWS).
kobayashi Feb 18, 2013, 12:18 PM Just thought I'd drop by for old times sake.
McMonkey, Maybe you can add the SL Facebook page to your signature links too?
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#!/groups/82058499005/
McMonkey Feb 18, 2013, 02:08 PM Hi kobayashi, good to hear from you. Hope life it treating you well! I have added the link to my personal signature, is that what you meant?
