1000AD conversion

[Ddude97]

1000 AD Conversion Scenario

This scenario is out of date! It was made for vanilla, and not a recent version of that! Use at your own risk!

Current Version: 10

Content:

• Contains 16 playable civs
• 1000 AD Earth Map
• 16 City States
• All oldworld civs

Playable Civs: England, France, Germany, Byzantines, Arabia, Spain (NOT DLC), Vikings, India, Siam, China, Japan, Mongolia, Inca, Aztecs, Russians, Songhai, Ethiopia


This is a somewhat raw conversion of the 1000AD scenario from vanilla civ4. This is my first attempt at serious scenario making.
Most of the civilizations are converted over, exceptions being:

• Spain - Put Custom Civ here
• Vikings - Put Custom Civ here
• Khmer/Barbs in SE Asia - Put Siam here
• Byzantine - Put Custom Civ here
• Barbs - Changed them to citystates and Egypt (read Ethiopia)
• Korea - Put Custom Civ here

Changed the map by a couple of tiles, tried to balance resource amounts and tile ownership/starting improvements so that no one starts off irretrievably unhappy, but I know there will be balance issues as so far I haven't played as everyone, so playtesting and feedback is appreciated . Currently there is only a game speed (date change) mod and a name changing mod comes with this. I recommend Info Addict, Barbarians!, and/or Improved Notifications

Please leave comments on bugs and balance issues (or anything else) so that I can update it for next patch!

Version 10 is up!
Currently there are few atolls on the map, as I haven't done enough playing to determine where they would be most useful (Carribean + Polynesia?)
Currently there is a bug which makes it impossible to pick a civ for some (me).

Version 11 is postponed indefinitely and this scenario is not updated to the latest version of civ 5.
I'll try to get out an update of some sort for the latest version of Civ 5 (1.01383)

Info Addict can be found here, or on the modbuddy (search "info addict").
Custom Notifications Mod can be found here


Version 10 is available on modbuddy! Finally allowing me to upload again! (For whatever reason )

Special thanks to Moriboe, sean444, Hukkak and molnutz!


If you have problems with not being able to select all the civs - > "A trick that seems to work for me: open the civ selection menu first and scroll a bit, only THEN activate the scenario. Sounds stupid, but does the trick for me. " - Moriboe
Version 10 can be found here.
Or download just the map (v5 map) and extract to Sid Meier's Civilization 5\Maps folder -> 1000AD v5.1 just map.zip

Nevermind

Spoiler:

[christos200]

it looks very good but can you tell me how to have this file on game?

[Ddude97]

It should go in your maps folder in Civ 5, then open up mods, select any mods you want, chose the map, make sure you click "load scenario"!
Put it in your C:\Users\(Your Name)\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\Maps

[O.O. Howard]

i like the concept but i dont like to mess with first versions. So i will lurk and see how this is recieved by the more adventurous souls.

But the real reason that i am writing now instead of lurking is to say "Thank you" for doing some work on RFC for civ 5.

All the sudden civ 5 doesnt look so bad.

Ok. You are very welcome
Edit: Wait, I just noticed, you think I'm working on RFC 5? This isn't for RFC 5... I was just happy that it was coming (although with all DLC required right now)

[Ddude97]

v3 is up

[Omega124]

Any chances for a DLC version? (I would also imagine changing Byzantium to Rome in that scenerio, with Spain being Spain again)

[Ddude97]

Not likely, because I don't have the DLC
Sometime around early April I might get the DLC, or when RFC comes out, and then I'll create a DLC version
I might change the Byzantines from Greek to Roman, but the Byzantines were more Greek in culture than Roman

[Drizzt011]

Arabs cities were much larger than the Europeans . Baghdad in 800 AD had a million people at a time when the capital of Charlemagne - Aachen ten thousand. This figure has not really changed to 1000AD. Moreover, Arabs should have a little more land troops.

Sorry for bad English

[Ddude97]

Thanks for the input! I am aware of the actual historical difference, but increasing the Arab populations to reflect this would make an extremely overpowered Arabia, I will look into adding more troops for them.

[JEELEN]

Tried loading several times, but keep starting at 4000 BC (mod active, scenario loaded)... Any suggestions?

[Ddude97]

Did you download from modbuddy or of of here? If neither work, you could try taking the map out of mods and putting it in Sid Meier's Civilization 5\Maps folder, then try loading scenario.

[JEELEN]

It´s OK; I had too many mods on at the same time, so it loads fine now.

[Ddude97]

K cool

[Ddude97]

v5 is up here, but not on Modbuddy until its fixed

[Lachlan]

Will get a try !

• Changed Vienna from Cultural to Maritime CS

I noticed this when playing as France. Also Marseille isn´t actually on the Mediterranean coast, which makes the Galley there a bit weird...

(Vienna Maritime? It´s not really on the coast though...)

Other than that - keep it up!

Thank you for reminding me, I've been meaning to get rid of that galley. What do you mean you noticed that? They weren't in version 5...
I made Vienna maritime to boost the growth of Europe, if I moved it it would be Danzig instead and I wanted a border between Holy Rome and Russia so I put it in Vienna but if you think changing it would help, then I'd be glad to.

Thanks for the input!
