As the thread says, I've changed my upcoming projects a little.

I've substituted Napoleonic Wars for World War I. Browsing through the scenario list, there is only even one scenario covering this important time period, and its focus though is on the French Revolution.

This scenario would take place about 1801 or so, after Napoleon gained power, and Europe was in temporary peace. European map. Like my ACW scenario, as accurate as possible.

World conquest already has a dedicated thread.

Mediterranean circa 270 BC also has a dedicated thread.

Vote in the poll for which one you'd be most likely to PLAY AND SUPPORT. If you wouldn't play and support any of them, indicate so.

If you want help with a Napoleonicmod or with ACW, I'll do what i can. i can't do unit graphics but I can integrate them into either Civ3 or PTW.

If you can enlist a good unit maker but lack raw information, try to revive the thread about Trip never finished scenario. I've posted there picture for the major armies of the time.
There's also some info about army size.
If you need something else, I may help.

I published units for horse artillery and British elite Foot Guard infantry (COld Stream Guard). Just look for my units. Since I'm making them for some stuff I'm doing, you are more than welcome to use anything I post.

MarcusSaruono: take a look at the Completed Scenarios forum for the ACW scenario, so you have an idea of what's finished and what still needs work and such. What do you mean by integrating unit graphics into Civ3 or PTW? Unit graphics is an area where I need more stuff done, as I'm not good with graphics. But I'd welcome any help with the ACW scenario for sure. :) Looking like Napoleonic Wars is most favored, so more input on that would be helpful to add to the knowledge I already have on the time period.

Steph: Yes, I'm still looking for unit makers for my ACW scenario as well, enlisting a few of these would be nice. But I know most of them are busy with other projects. I'll have to find his thread and take a look at what he's accomplished.

BAP: That sounds good, I'm sure they will be useful. The horse artillery I might be able to use in ACW as well.

To all: Looks like Napoleonic Wars has some interest! I'll be posting more then on this scenario soon, as far as what I have in mind and such.

I'm no good at graphics either, but I've added over a dozen units to PTW. So, if you need help with that or testing...

As for ACW, I'm working on that. Let you know if I figure anything out.

What I've been doing with the unit graphics files for the ACW scenario, is putting them up as a separate download, so that the regular file download isn't too big.

I'm not exactly sure how you could help in that regard, since I know how they are installed and such. If you could find more units which I could use, that would be a plus though.

Just to give a little background once again on World Conquest: The year is 2037. World War III has already taken place, and the world is rebuilding from its terrible destruction. Technology in most places has been set back 100 years or more. Antarctica though, is now the home of the dictator's son, the one who started WWIII. He secretly has built up a force to take over the world, and now has been discovered. However, he's much too strong for any one nation to take out. The race is now on for a nation to build up enough strength to take him out. One of these nations, is little Luxembourg.

Basically, you will play as Luxembourg and try to take over the world. It WILL be possible to do so. Trust me. There will be hundreds of units, many of them customized for each country (even "neutral" countries), as well as a wide-variety of techs and other stuff. This will be a MASSIVE scenario.

Mediterranean circa 270 BC will basically take place as the title says. There will be 15 or 16 civ's from that era, with the same attention to detail and accuracy as there is in my ACW scenario. There will be a wide variety of units, and several technology "paths" to pursue, for more than one way of winning the scenario, and allowing for choice.

Napleonic Wars as stated above will take place in 1801. All major powers in Europe will be represented, including Russia, Prussia, Austria, Great Britain, Spain, Portugal, and the Ottoman Empire. (obviously there will be others too) And of course, the enlarged France. This will be set up similar to my ACW scenario, with historical accuracy being a key part of the scenario.

Not so much I'm afraid. I've never seen any completed unit. But you will find there pictures for most of the major nations units, including Portugal and some others. And I could provide pictures for almost all the countries, except Ottoman Empire.
You will also get some army lists, and I could give you the same for the other countries.

Well unfortunately I'm not a unit maker...but the pictures would be useful to anyone who'd like to make units for the scenario.

I'm going to have to do more research though before I could start it, as its been awhile since I've read anything on that time period.

ACW? I assume that's your Civil War scenario which I've downloaded and played a little with. I like the detail. Let me put the Rifleman's head on the horse artillery rider and see how it comes out, that would look better for the era.

Steph: I'm not sure what I'm going to need yet, as I need to find out more about the time period and what countries had what cities, and such. I take pride in being as accurate as possible, the ACW scenario being a good example of that.

BAP: Yes, ACW is my American Civil War Scenario. Which version did you download? Have you gotten it to work on PTW? Yes, that does sound like a good idea for the Horse Artillery unit.
