2012, Nearly Current

[zimtallist]

This is my first scenario,
I tried to make it as accurate and current as i could, but the 18 civs only thing made it really hard. So i pushed a bunch of countries together to make it only
18 big mass countries. I used the Huge world map and changed it slightly so there are less forests and i tried to make it accurate so that big cities would be big, but food consumption and things kinda made alot of big cities starving, SO, its not entirely bug free in that area. but i did my best, the file is pretty big.

I named the file NOW, so u can find it<
^i hope the file hosting place works

I also tried to set troops in accurate detail, but since russia isnt broadcasting its
troop locations i had to guess. im not sure what the plot of the map is but i set it in 2012. i hope it works well!

Well the map is the earth, and ill get a map with the borders up soon, the list of civs is as follows:
Egypt-EAN (Eastern African Nations)
India-ISA (India and Southeast Asia)
China- The Peoples Republic of China
Greece- Baltic States
Italy- The Republic of Italy
Persia- The Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand
Japan- Japan and Indonesia
Germany- Centro-Eastern European Union (CEEU)
Mongolia- Central-West Asian Union
France- The Republic of France
Arabia- Middle-Eastern Nations
Spain- The Kingdom of Spain
England- United Northern Nations (UNN)
Russia- Russia and Eastern Europe
Mali- Western African Nations (WAN)
Inca- South American Union (SAU)
Aztec- Central American Nations (CAN)
America- United States of America (USA)

All the countries are unionized and crunched together into the 18 civs

 

[Snerk]

Hmm.. i dont completly understand what it is.
A list of the civs and some screenshots would be great though

 

[Lachlan]

Irealistic ! Should make Blocks like EU, NAFTA, MERCOS0UR, ASEAN, AFRICAN UNION + few non alignated-civs

 

[zimtallist]

Yeah i thought of doing that, and i may still, dont know when though,

Geez dimaliok, you could be a little more respectful of the scenario. Zimmtall seems like he's put a lot of work into it.

3 words 4 u....need new comp

 

[zimtallist]

Yeah, im sorry if it is laggy, the file is pretty big so it might only be playable by ppl who have fast computers.

 

[Der_Meister]

I'll give it a try. looks ok to me.

 

[geebo]

pretty good.... but why is Spain the founder of Christianity it should be in either Rome or Jerusalem no?

I didn't realize i had done that, sorray

I really want a scenario like this for Civ IV, got one for Civ II and couldnt stop playing it.

Civs i thought of were

EU
USA
China
CIS (commenwealth of Independant states (USSR basically minus the Baltic states)
ASEAN (south east asia)
Arab League (Middle east and northern Africa and indonesia)
OAS (The rest of Africa)
CARICOM (caribean)
South american alliance (not sure it south america has a comunity or not?)
Japan (inc South Korea)
Australia, New Zealand and independant Pacific states
Canada
Israel
Central american alliance (as south america)
North Korea
Taiwan
India
Pakistan

Think it covers the whole world, it was a lot harder with the earlier versions of Civ

Seems to me that it might have been more prudent to combine Canada and the US as well as possibly mexico and call them North American Alliance.

Britian by itself is more of a major player in international affairs then Canada is yet it combined Britian into the EU but Canada gets its own country??

Just a thought. . .

 

[Igorius]

Well, Britain happens to be part of the EU, whereas Canada, the US and Mexico are only loosely connected due to the NAFTA agreement.

 

[akinkhoo]

ASEAN will never side with INDIA, their customers are largely east asian nations, and it would be bad for them. if you can't give ASEAN it own group, you should join with with the australian ones. there are some level of defence cooperation among the oceania and asean groups thanks to their colonial past.

japan and south korea are bad choices to mix together. these 2 country hate each other... if you are gonna throw in taiwan and north korea as seperate state, it will give japan too much advantage.

 

[Sohan]

As already stated, India and Southeast Asia would never align together like that. Southeast Asia is too closely tied to East Asia (ie: China, Japan, etc) and India's got it's own problems, so they would be hesitant to do much for Southeast Asia anyways. Considering these two groups represent huge populations and control massive resources, I would say it would be a good idea to seperate them.

Also, Europe could probably be better organized as the European Union (in most of the western and central Europe) and the Commonwealth of Independent States (in former USSR).

Combining Canada, the United States, and Mexico would create (in a way) NAFTA, which could be strengthened as a North American Alliance. Chances are those countries would generally pursue the same foreign policies anyways.

Subdivide Asia some more. Feel free to make Japan completely independent. They have a strong self-defense force that might as well be called an army but isn't for political purposes. South Korea is another small yet strong country that might be able to survive as an independent entity, but maybe combine them with Taiwan and Singapore and call them "The Tigers?"

Anyways, good work on the scenario. We appreciate it.

Well, Britain happens to be part of the EU, whereas Canada, the US and Mexico are only loosely connected due to the NAFTA agreement.

True but first of all Britain is only very loosely tied to the EU when compaired to other EU nations such as France and Germany.

Second of all I was speaking in terms of relative world power. Put bluntly, Canada doesn't have a heck of a lot while Britain is typically the second country everyone wants to talk to behind the US. And neither does Mexico for that matter.

All I'm saying is that in terms of relative power, if Britian is combined with the EU then you would need to combine Canada with the US.

 

[pacesplace]

If you were to combine all North American countries, it would be more lopsided. The world's only superpower having a continent to itself?

Also, the UK is small. They own Great Britain and Northern Ireland... Not much on a global map.

 

[StarWorms]

Also, the UK is small. They own Great Britain and Northern Ireland... Not much on a global map.

It may be small but it's one hell of an important country and has been for at least the last millenia. Therefore it deserves to be a country on its own.

There's really no need for Taiwan.

Hey, first I want to say good job. Not many modern one too find these days, thanks for the effort you put in.

But how come Japan gets the short end of the stick? Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't Tokyo be one of the most population cities in the world (Last time I checked it was at 30 million, NY city isn't even half that amount).

Thats my only grip on it, but for the most part, good job
