You knew it would happen eventually. Here's my shot at creating a scenario on the liberation of Iraq. At the moment, I have only placed certain Iraqi cities, roads and rivers. If anyone knows where mountains or grassland should be, feel free to reply. Other suggestions are very welcome as I really want this to be a great and realistic scenario.

BETA 1:

Well, for starters you might wanna get rid of the arctic poles in iraq...

that will be the next version.

*bump* any more suggestions? I know it's not even playable at the moment, but I'd love to hear of ways to improve it.

It would have to be played on a day by day basis wouldn't it? Otherwise the scenario would be all of one turn long.
Emphasis would be on quelling resistance within captured cities and capturing vital oil fields quick enough before they are sabotaged.
And researching tecnology kinda seems completely uneccessary.
Just my two cents.

Oh.. and instead of having Saddam as the Iraqi leaderhead have their ex information minister..
Gotta have Putin,Shroeder and Chirac too for humor's sake.

Yeah, I think I'll have it setup in the description that one turn would be one day and I'll have to setup the movement abilities to be the same.

The oil fields are something that I hadn't considered. Maybe I can figure out a way to create an immobile iraqi unit that will destroy the oil fields if Coalition troops come within range. Like, a self-destructive unit or something. Emphasis would be on taking out this unit before he has a chance to do anything.

I also plan on having Syria, Turkey, Iran, and Saudi Arabia along the borders of Iraq. And put, say, a huge amount of Turkish military right on the border.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to fit Israel onto the map though.

Yeah, tech would be rather pointless. I'll probably just get rid of it, or give everyone all of the techs.

No offence, but other the the roleplay potential, of American users conquering Iraq, I see this as a potentially boring mod. The recent war was a total asskicking with almost no losses on the coalition side. Who would want to play that? I want a challenge, I want to fall back, be pushed back, push forward. Not just bomb the snot out of a technologicaly inferior and out numbered opponant, and run across the desert with all my tanks.

That was another thing that I was considering...

What about making it so that the player is Iraq?

All patriotism and morality aside, what about having the challenge of facing the most powerful military force in the world?

How many users would want to play as Iraq? :P

This is why I prefer WWII as subject matter, slower, calmer, more evenly matched opponants. Keeps things interesting. War is to fast to be interesting these days.

Hrm... someone is going to take that the wrong way... :\

Yep ;)

The editor seems to only let me have the bombard range of bombers be 8, at the max. Does anyone know of a way that I can change this so that it either has unlimited bombard range or at least, more than 8.

You have to have PTW. This is one of the main advantages to PTW, effectively unlimited air ranges 1-362.

WAIT! Hold the presses. I forgot. :crazyeye: There's an "Unlimited Bombard Range" in the Unit abilities. It's used for the ICBM. So you can have range 1-8 or unlimited.

well you could play out the scenario that the iraqi military actually fought, or that iran join in, or even syria, or the turks attack the kurds
