TAM Scenarios

[Dionysius]

ok, this thread is for people to post recommendations
and suggestions for TAM scenarios.
post away.


Maps Done:
Near East [or Fertile Crescent Large]
TAM Mesopotmia
TAM Canaan
Armenia [plain map]

in slow, slow progress:
Punic Wars [by me]
Judaea [by me]

in progress:
Fall of Assyria [by Drtad]
Pontic wars [by Drtad]
[these will start after the Warlords update to TAM]

Punic Wars in production? God damn, thats good news. Will it just feature Rome and Chartago, or will the scenario be bigger, like a Rise of Rome scenario?
The warlords scenario Im really looking forward to is the Rise of Rome. But if I know Firaxis right, it will seriously need to be moded, with more nations, units, a better tech. tree, and other concepts. Would be great if you guys made a Rise of Rome scenario, with the mediteranean from 280 BC and forwards..... I have lots of ideas for such a scenario!

western mediterranean map. its a roman republic vs Carthaginian empire
scenario, specifically of the second punic war. it starts 280 or so bc.
well, im looking forward to warlords scenario, as we all no doubt are,
but the screenshots seem to show rome as the holy city of islam???

Why not a "Fall of Rome" scenario?

well, of course, goths are in the mod, are they not?
`course you`d need huns, visigoths, ostrogoths, franks and vandals to do it right. its on my list anyways.

Yeah, thats an example of that some great moding will be needed, I guess.
I also fear they will put in to few Civilizations to cover the Rise of Rome period. Only 5 civs are confirmed: Rome, Chartago, Greece, Egypt and the Gauls. All these are playable. I really hope some minor nations are added too.

Such an scenario needs the following civs: German tribes, Illyria, Dacia, Greece parted into: Macedonia, Greek City states and The Seleucid Empire. Pontus, Armenia, Nubia, the brittons and some Iberian tribes as well...
Schytia, Parthia and Bactria would be nice too......

Thats a total of 18 Civs, so it should be possible.....

We can add any extra civs for scenarios into the mod, we just need city names and leader names.

Nice to hear that. You are the guys I trust the most when it comes to the art of making mods/scenarios! I'm surprised if Firaxis can come up with something close to your TAM.

I would love a Greece-to-Indus Valley map. Or maybe even Judea-to-Indus map.

How about a Pontic wars scenario? Major civs: Roman Empire, Pontus, Armenian Empire Years: around 200BC-150BC?

[Sisonpyh]

Would like to see a scenario based around the Crusades.

[Dionysius]

that would be a Medieval Mediterranean MOD scenario, not Ancient mediterranean.

[Drtad]

Another good scenario might be the fall of the Assyrian Empire. Combatant civs:Assyria,Babylon,Egypt Neutral civs: Urartu,Media,Kolchis,Cimmeria Vassal civs:Israel,Phoenicia?

[Dionysius]

am thinking of a Hyksos Vs. Egypt scenario. obviously i need to get fall of rome done first, though.
Hyksos were asiatic invaders who used new horse chariots to conquer northern egypt. egypt only had donkeys before that. anyway, the egyptians copt [sorry, dreadful pun] copped on to the new chariots and drove the Hyksos out.
or something like that.

Add Nubia (Cush) and that would round out the scenario. Egypt was under the domination of the Nubians during the time of the Assyrian invasion.

This sounds like a great scenario. How about a Persian invasion of the Decapolis up to and including the conquest of Egypt.

[Ankenaton]

How about an Egypt versus the Hittites scenario. The winner gobbles up everything from the Sinai to Asia Minor.

Phoenicia was still pretty powerful trading empire at the time. I don't think they deserve vassal status. It'd be hard to model most of their colonies, however (As far flung as the Straight of Gibraltar, along with Carthage and Sardinia). Cyprus, however, should start as a Phoenician colony.
Also, if you add Israel, you might as well add Judah too. Or you could lump them together as the "Tribes of Israel" or "Israelites". Nubia is also important to this time period.

[Drtad]

Akhenaton, I think you mistook my request for a fall of the Assyrian Empire, as the rise of the Assyrian Empire. During its fall, the pharoah's Psamtik II and Necho II ruled Egypt. I do not think Nubia dominated Egypt at this time, but I could be mistaken. I made a mistake in my above post, the Medes should be at war with Assyria. And I thought that Phoenicia was dominated by Egypt at this time?

Also, a Hittite Egypt scenario is a good idea, some other civs could be Kingdom of Hayasa-Azzi, Phoenicia, Kingdom of Mitanni, etc...

You are correct; I mistook it as the rise of Assyrian Empire. I would love to see the Mitanni included in a Egypt vs. Hittite scenario. Thanks for the clarification.
