Conquests Scenarios And Reviews Directory

I agree. You probably shouldn't do a review of it after only 15 turns.

While I agree 15 turns is a bit light for a full review, I think his review took that into account. Basically it hits the nail on one important feature of the scenario. The main info here is on his computer 15 turns = 1.5 hours with most of that time waiting. All the people who don't have superior PCs can be real interested in that info. And basically this test/review proves it is not doable which means the test stopped after 15 turns. His other comments are quite positive, it just shows the scenario is not fit for average to low computers. That's a review for a part of the players only but the reviews don't have to be comprehensive and not everybody likes the same things in scenario (accuracy, art, "weight", originality...). For instance I know of at least 1 person who hates Escape from Zombie Island because of its very nature.

Well reviews must have a point of view and not only be a list of congrats to how much great work has been done by modders. So I consider this review acceptable : it basically says the scenario looks great but it takes so much resources it is virtually unplayable on my machine and you could have the same issue if you have the same type of computer. The scenario therefore does not fit my needs so I cannot give it a high mark.
If you have another point of view, write another review so the different types of people can find the reviews' points of views that fits their requirements.

I think that in 15 turns you can get a feel for the scenario, so I think it is acceptable to make a review based on that, as long as you state that info! Off course I have this opinion, otherwise I wouldn't have done it right?!

Reviews are just opinions. People reading it should take that into account that is my opinion based on a 15 turn try. Some people might find it usefull. Some people will think that 15 turns is not enough and they will disregard the review and try the scenario out.

I think it would be acceptable for someone to make a comment based on 1 turn! In this case, I (personnally) would ignore the review and try to read other reviews or try it for myself!

If there had been 3/4 reviews already, I would have not made the review based on my short (in turns but not in time) game, but there are too few reviews (in general).


.

irregardless, i still think that 15 turns is too few to do a review. sorry.

Nothing to be sorry about. It is your opinion and you stood up for it. I disagree with your opinion, but I respect it.

Synopsis/Description: At the beginning of WWII, there were only fightings in Europe between Germany, Britain and France. Even if Mussolini described the alliance between Italy and Germany as an "Axis of Blood and Steel", he decleared Italy neutral. But when Rommel reached the English Channel, Mussolini felt that the war was coming to an end. And on the 10th of June, Italy decleared war on the Allied nations. The war in the Mediterranean had begun....
Special features:

- Description: The year is 500AD. Rome has just been overwhelmed by barbarians, and is now fighting to keep the barbarian horde out of Rome itself. After the Roman leaders left their lands, and after the barbarians looted all they could, the surviving people have started new nations, bound to take control of this vast and beautiful region.
Length: 400 turns, 1300 years.
Place: Fictive map, but it has some resemblance with the Europe of 500AD. This has allowed me to create many tactical areas & very different playing styles depending on your civ/where you are located.
NOTE: Unlike my other scenarios, this one has a fully working civilopedia
- Special features: Although it is on a custom map & the civ names are mixed up, it still simulates the passage of time from the fall of the Roman Empire until the early 1800's. Also, with the map being a custom one, there are many strategical places which will be important.

I'd like to do a review of Rise and Fall of the Mughal Empire (I think maybe this should be posted instead of Rise of the Mughals as it is an update); how do I do that? (you can delete this post after the response etc.)

Well, you just need to follow more or less these rules :
(For reviewers , post in this thread with, if possible, the following informations about the scenario :
- review and scenario name in the post title
- version tested if applicable
- overall mark (out of ten, ten being the highest) IMPORTANT
- playability (bugs, incomplete, ...) IMPORTANT
- comments
- markings if you want (out of ten so that everyone follows the same rule) or special comments about : interest, art, replayability, accuracy (if applicable), modding quality, balance....)

After that you are free to comment as you want. You can also get inspiration from other reviews.

As three great religions – Judaism, Christianity, and Islam – meet and clash, great empires will appear, flourish and vanish again like flowers in the desert.

- Optional music download - immerse yourself in the African experience!

Really thought out scenario that deals with a neglected part of the world.

New leaderheads, individual tech trees, lot of new civ specif units + very nice scenario created map.

I really like the multiple victory conditions that tend to make you wont to try different civs that may have an advantage for a certain condition.

Played a complete game with Ethiopio in which no civ won, so I wondered about the tie breaker here.

As far as game-play --balance issues I have found nothing as of yet of any concern, game seems to play quickly all the way through.

I need to play several civs to give a more detailed review on AI--balance. I cant review accuracy to history as its an area/time period not well-known by the reviewer.

In conclusion, a fantastic experience that will test you in a variety of ways in a little used part of the world. TOP-MARKS here 10 out of 10.
