Coming Of The Saxons

[RITCH75]

Playing as the Saxon`s your aim is to conquer the British Isles. Fight against:
Ramano Britons
Picts
Scoti
Angles
Jutes
Franks

Comments please.

Only looked at it in the Editor, but isn't it a little hard to expect the Saxons to achieve much of an invasion with only six starting units, not to mention the Angles and Jutes with three each?

I'd suggest giving the British civs some starting units, and the Germanic ones alot.

The Saxon`s didnt at first come to Briton as an invasion force they were invited to settle by Vortigern in Kent and used as a mercenary army. However they quickly proved tobe a second column..hence why they start with few units.

How are they ever going to get to england with all that ocean?

 

[RITCH75]

I have made it over the ocean when testing.

I know that, but I don't see how it leads to the conclusion:

Because the Saxon`s came as settlers at first, and not as INVADERS. I reckon your being picky, as you have only looked at my scenario in the editor and in your two post you have not offerd any constructive comments.

 

[The Last Conformist]

As you said in a previous post, they (according to the traditional account) came as mercenaries.

I might be pickish, but I did try to offer constructive criticism; witness the last line of my first post. How you know whether I've done more than looked at in the Editor since my first post I do not know.

Be that as it may; my input is obviously not appreciated here, and I shall bother you no more.

As it goes I have now given all `invader` sides more boats and units. Also have changed the amount of ocean and sea to coastal. Also have changed city foundation names as I noticed certain tribes were planting American Cities.

So have you played it then?

 

[Sarevok]

a few of the cities are typed in all caps and the sea is too big. a ew minor changes and this can be a good map.

 

[RITCH75]

I have change Hadrian`s Wall to Offa`s Dyke also have now change Granary to Barn. Also have changed the leader names after reading John Morris`s `Age of Arthur`. Also added more barbarion forces. Thinking of changing palace to Royal Hall.

I had intended to put none town names in Capitals e.g GALOWAY,etc.

 

[RITCH75]

Have added the Welsh.

Not enough resources on the map.

 

[RITCH75]

I wiped loads of resources from the map - because who ever made the map included resources that are not available in the UK e.g Ivory...since when has the had ivory or grapes...er never..so i wiped them, also wiped goody huts and silks.
