1700AD Scenario

[civ_king]

This is really a great idea. Is there a chance that this will get implemented?

After Latin American civs get put in it should be coming.

Some 1700AD maps for consideration:

Shows that I should've paid more attention in Italian classes... Molto bene!

There's English, Chinese, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese as well, by the way.

I really like those Geacron maps. Very detailed and valuable.

You can already expect me to ignore the historical borders on a number of occasions, however.

I'm currently thinking 1700 AD.

I don't know how I'll handle passed UHV deadlines, but there won't be scenario specific goals and I will not adjust end dates for all scenarios just to accommodate the new one. So either those UHVs will be unplayable or you start with these goals already completed, I don't know.

I think the English expansion goal needs to be set to a later date (1775 would be idea since it's the American spawn) regardless of a new scenario. IRL the EIC rule in India started around 1775 (First Anglo-Maratha War), so did the British colonization of Australia (Arthur Phillip's foundation of Sydney), and the Cape Colony was established slightly later still around 1820. If gamey strategies such as settling South Africa in the Middle Ages is shut down, such an expansion UHV would still be quite challenging due to the limits in production and stability.

For an added challenge the expansion UHV can even be set to some time after 1775 (and as an "In year X" instead of "By year X" UHV), to 1800 or even 1840 so that you'd actually need to battle America for it.

The Royal Navy UHV (25 ships and sink 50 ships) can also be set to any time between 1815 and 1914 (1815 seems like the logical choice) to reference Britain's period of unchallenged naval supremacy IRL.

IRL the EIC rule in India started around 1775 (First Anglo-Maratha War),

They gained control of Bengal in 1760'ies, so move it slightly earlier.

I'm sort of not sure with that Geacron map.. I can't find info anywhere that Makassar in southern end of Sulawesi, Indonesia have been under Portuguese then Spanish rule at 1500-1600s as noted on that map -____-

Yes, it has some mistakes.

 

[Civciv5]

Shouldn't Thailand be a civ? Ayutthaya was the largest city in the world at that time and it was quite the dominant power in Southeast Asia (although Ayutthaya was destroyed and Thailand was temporarily conquered by Burma by 1769).

 

[FinalLegendZero]

Thailand IS a civ.

 

[Civciv5]

In the game yes, but in the scenario? Oops, my fault then.
