Here's another option. It looks like a large-scale map. However, I cannot see how much of Ireland it includes because I don't have MGE/FW on my computer.

Is the map from Jamestout's Hundred Years' War big enough?

That is phenomenal! Your persistence has really paid off. I look forward to encountering some of these diamonds in the rough! Thank you for recovering and curating these collections.

I was able to set up the sea route by pressing 'u', but couldn't manage to transport any French units to map 2. If they were indeed transported, then I must have missed it somehow. Maybe part of the problem is that I don't know how to toggle between the main map and map 2. I would constantly...

Hi tootall, It is fortunate you were able to incorporate so many special features with Knighttime's help. Because it takes time to appreciate all of these new features (leader attack bonuses, naval embargo zones, special building prerequisites, etc.), the scenario might seem intimidating at...

Totally agreed. I see why you made a Youtube video about it. If more people knew about these newer scenarios such as Napoleon, then I'm sure we'd see even more folks like Pablostuka and John Ellis returning to the Civ2 fold.

There are a lot of exciting projects currently underway, but I wanted to acknowledge how enjoyable and masterful I found this scenario to be. I hope everyone reading this post has attempted Napoléon I. I've been meaning to compliment the designers (Tootall and Knighttime) for a long time. I...

Partly yes, but the main advantage is that it allows you to specify a unique city style for each tribe. (Normally, you can only assign the first 4 city styles to each tribe through rules.txt.) With CitySpritesPerTibe, you can create a distinct cities.bmp file for each tribe. This means that a...

This is very helpful information, Knighttime! I had no idea that paradropping attackers get a 50% attack bonus. This will change how I treat the Batavian Horse unit in JPetroski's scenarios, which have the paradrop ability. They are much more valuable now. It's too bad that the pikeman flag...

I too suffered from this problem, where the screen would freeze while the AI was conducting its turn. My solution was to right-click the civ2 executable file (located in your civ directory) and select Properties. In the "Compatibility" tab, you should change compatibilty mode to a previous...

Nice job. I think those changes make sense. Even though Helm's Deep can be conquered quickly, the counterattack by Ents is very strong. I had to retreat after capturing Helm's Deep.

Have you thought about using the CitySpritesPerTribe feature in Cosmic2? This might be the best solution. It does not solve the population size issue, but it lets you select unique city styles for each tribe. For example, both Gondor and Rhun currently use Row 7 of cities.bmp. You could give...

Gapetit, I understand that you want to make the largest Gondor city graphic appear for a population size of 12. The population ranges for each of the 4 city graphics depend on their row in cities.bmp. Gondor is using the 7th row, which is labeled "Renaissance" in a fantasy game. Based on some...

Fairline: I know this was a decade ago, but do you still happen to have your "quick and dirty" conversion of Empire of Thessalonike? I would love to get my hands on this.

Gapetit, thanks for explaining it. Don't worry about the Danube Empire scenario. It's no big deal, especially given the incredible output of other scenarios that I can play. I look forward to your newest conversions :) Just curious: Did you ever get around to converting Empire of...
