In my mind the Pacific war scenario is easily the best one to come with the conquests expansion pack.

Sep 1942 I launched wildcat fighters from the carrier Enterprise to recon Wake Island and the surrounding waters. Nothing showed up. Now both my Honolulu fleet and my ‘second fleet’ were closing on Wake Island. Oct 1942 My ships were now in a position to unload my ground forces at Wake...

Jul 1942 Most of the ships at Honolulu had now been repaired. I planned on using these ships to cut Wake Island off from reinforcement as my ‘second fleet’ launched its attack. Naval actions this turn saw the return of Japanese shipping near Honolulu, with one of my heavy cruisers just out...

Well, I wanted general advice, but here goes. The scenario tries to portray the events of 1982 and the conflict in the falklands. It starts with the british navy divided between sitting just outside the naval exclusion zone and ascension island. British land forces are all stationed at...

War in the Pacific – Part Two May 1942 After the opening stages of the campaign, there was something of a lull in the action. My fleet based at Honolulu continued to repair, and my ‘second fleet’ began its move towards Wake Island. There were very few offensive actions taken by either side...

I've just completed my first scenario for civ3 (falklands war 1982) and am posting to ask for any tips, or final checks people make before uploading.

Feb 1942 I decided that I would have to rush ahead with my plans. I felt at this stage it would be a mistake to let the Japanese consolidate the gains that they have made. I therefore decided that once combat had been resolved I would prepare another fleet, made up of ships still in home port...

Glad you're enjoying it. I'll post part two in the next couple of days.

War in the Pacific – Part One Introduction Having recently purchased the excellent Conquests add-on pack, I have decided to write up what will be my first experience of one of the scenarios that are bundled with the game. To this end I loaded up the Pacific war scenario and set myself as...

I would like to see a streamlining of the unit types. For example, do we really need two different types of subs? Also, I think the diplomacy options should be greatly increased, the system at present is just two simple. I want to be able to be really devious and do things like setting up client...

If the makers of the game wish to pay me for advertising there game...

Hey, just wanted to let you guys know about a great game I recently discovered called 'Hearts of Iron'. It is a grand strategty WW2 game, based on the 'Europa Univeralis' game engine. You can choose any nation from 1936, 39 or 41 and the aim is to take as many provinces as possible for your...

Total war against Germans. Read "The English Empire" for detailed background info. Anyway. After the first English German war ended I decided to wipe the krauts from the map. I built up a massive land force of modern armour and mec inf's, and I also stationed my massive airforce (10 bombers...

During many hours of playing civ3 there are a number of units that I never seem to build, such as: Helicopter. Ok, so you can airdrop paras, but their range is sooooo limited! Stealth fighter. Not built a single stealth fighter. Destroyer. Battleships are so powerful in comparison...

Do you real believe that in war there is no such thing as an innocent civilian? What about civilians who can't choose whether to support a war or not, such as children. Are you seriously trying to tell me that the children of Hiroshima in some way 'colluded' with the expansionist and...
