I disagree. Players should be allowed to pillage certain resources, just as they are in real life. Just consider the Russians' "scorched earth" tactic or the Kuwaiti oil fires set by the Iraqi troops in 1991. And I argue that the Swiss train all able-bodied males for military service and the...

You were right. Thank you. Now, I guess I'll have to start looking for more explanations of how to recognize and control happiness, food supply, income vs expenditures.

No matter what Mod I load, or which leader/civ I select to play as, I always end up hearing the same words, "All Hail the Mighty Khan!" Then, once the scenario has loaded, there is always a window at the top of the screen the shows: Major Civs to Destroy: 11 Turns Left: 100...

I would like to beta test this mod. However, I cannot help with the development (my brain can't handle actual programming). Also, I will try to avoid any more controversial suggestions like the "EU civ and Vassals thing."

Because I have a character flaw that causes me to try to make things more complicated and difficult than they need to be. I'm sure the 2008 Mod will be great regardless, it was just an idea that I needed to get out of my system.

They might not if there were attitude bonuses on both sides, a strong EU headstart in culture, and if none of the Vassals were strong enough to stand alone. The EU is not a civ, but to make this work it would have to be treated as one. Therefore, Brussels (Belgium) and maybe one or two other...

What would happen if the European Union gets its own civ with 1 to 3 centralized cities in Europe (i.e. Brussels, Luxembourg, Vienna maybe). Then add the major civ's that belong to the EU (Germany, France, UK, etc.) and make them Vassals to the EU. Cultural and attitude bonuses might help...

What size map are you considering, "Huge" or something on par with Genghis Kai's "Giant Earth Map?" I read the list of planned civs, and it occurs to me that you will need a really big map.

Greece was completely by the Ottoman Empire at that time. But it retained it's identity and eventually became independent. I thought instead of leveling the playing field for each civ and changing the handicap, why not set everyone on Noble and then try to make it look like it did at the time...

The scenario ends when you win or lose--there is no set year. And if Japan is going to modernize quickly, it's leader had better pull off an equally impressive feat. I'm not a believer in affirmative action.

The map is too small to cram too many cities into France. As far as French colonies in the Americas, I guess Saint-Pierre and Miquelon would be appropriate, but it was apparently a very small settlement that the British took from the French on more than one occaision. France ceded Canada...

Thankyou. I couldn't find much about Ottoman/Turkish weaponry during that time period. All my research depends on what I find on the internet. I'll give them Rifling.

This is a scenario (not a mod) that I created originally for myself to recreate the world as it was in 1775. There was a lot going on around the world, beside the American Revolution, and I wanted to play from different perspectives (but still have the world be recognizable). I've decided to...

niust, can i use your map as the basis of a scenario i'm working on? i had not originally intended on uploading the scenario, but i would like to see if anyone else takes interest and hopefully improves upon it. i have limited this to being a scenario--not a mod, so it's a little screwy...

sounds like this could be a good incentive to keep your citizens happy and maybe relieve overcrowding. Border Patrol Agent. the rest of the time i neglect my family by playing this horribly addictive game.
