be sure to let me know how it was!

It mite be a good idea to hype it up some. One way to get interest is to run a story in that thread, with pix and such. Right now I have no idea what there may be that would make it exciting to play.

I mean what units, what ages, what civ, what map size and so forth.

 

[D551]

ok thanx ill see what i can do

Personally, I go with the more traditional 1420 BC date for the Exodus, before Anhkaten became the heretical Pharaoh. But is does look like an interesting game.

 

[D551]

I have the King James Version and it has a map in the back showing all the theoretical routes, and i just based everything off of that.

 

[Lord Malbeth]

OK! I took a quick spin on this, and I have to say, it was really fun! Is this your first scenario? Either way, good job!

Just some small ideas...
1) I think the map is just a hair too big, at least for my taste. Maybe you could crop it down so there isn't so much 'wasted' space in the north, west, and east.
2) I really wish more of the Canaanites were present, like Og the Giant, etc. That would be cool!

BUT, like I said, this was a lot of fun!

 

[D551]

sweet. thanks for the input! Ill use your ideas if I make some changes and update it. I have made quite a few scenarios before but this is one of the best ones ive made i think. ive got some more on here if your interested...

 

[D551]

oh I'd also appreciate it if you could give my file a star rating. that would be awsome.

 

[Lord Malbeth]

No problem! I really see this as a scenario with a ton of potential. I've always been fascinated by the Exodus, so if you need any help with this, I'd be glad to lend a hand.

As with the more Canaanite tribes to fight with, here's a short intro to what I'm talking about. Maybe you can use an idea similar to one Plotinus used in his "Desert and the Mountain" scenario: You can make "King Units" that require 1000 shields to build, but that are unbuildable. When the Israelites attack Canaan, they can kill these king units and, due to the victory point multipliers, win when they have successfully killed all the king units. Does that make any sense?

 

[D551]

Yeah it sure does. Some other things I was also thinking about was putting a joshua unit and 12 spy units to use to investigate Canaan. Also yes help with it would be much appreciated. If you could find some units i could use as spies and one for the giant Og that would be great. and any other input about some changes would be great. thanks!

 

[Lord Malbeth]

Sure! I'll start scouting for you!

 

[D551]

sweet. also could you upload your .sav file for me to check out how it developed? if you could that would be great.

 

[D551]
