Here's a "Pre-Preview" of my first major scenario. I just started working on it yesterday, but I decided to post it in case anyone has ideas or comments.
It's another space game, but instead of each tile representing a planet, the terrain represents the planets and water represents space and atmosphere. (I know it's been done and doesn't seem to be too popular, but maybe this scenario will change that )
Here's a picture of earth: I'm using marsh to represent ocean, but since there's no way to make boats travel only on marshes (without other units to be able to) I won't be able to include them. So instead I've connected the continents with railroads, kinda like in Risk. I highlighted the connections in the picture.
(Don't mind the sloppy looking graphics, I'm still working on that. Also for gameplay reasons, the moon has an atomosphere. )
The huge map will include the Earth, Moon, Mars, Venus, and maybe Mercury.
The scenario will start either during the cold war or some time in the future.
I haven't decided much about the gameplay yet (units, victory, etc.), but it's going to start out as a race to the moon, then to the other planets. I think I'm going to do is set up a wonder victory and each wonder requires a resource found on another planet.
Any comments, suggestions, and ideas (civs, starting time period) are welcome.
