Hi,
Just a small offer, I have Virtual PC and the PC version of the editor and was just thinking that if any of you Mac users out there without access to VPC would like, I can probably edit a scenario for you, as long as it isn't anything major, like making a custom map.
I could edit the rules - modify the number of optimal cities (thus decreasing corruption), etc. As long as it isn't too major, I can probably do it.
I currently have a modified game (my first) that I really enjoy. I took the player1mod that someone else created, multiplied the optimal number of cities in the game by 8, put the starting treasury to 20 instead of 10, added +1 content citizen to start with and changed the Iriquois to the Sindarin (a race of elves from the game HarnMaster). The Sindarin. To counter the AI trading all techs between themselves almost automatically, I made the Sindarin :Religious, Expansionist, Commercial and Scientific. I gave them the starting techs of Pottery, Alphabet, Writing and Map Making. I lowered their aggression level, made their preferred government Democracy and their hated government Communism. I also changed the city names to the names of countries/cities/etc from Harn. I know it sounds like quite an advantage for the Sindarin, but so far it hasn't proven too great of an advantage.
I also created a random map and then made the map resource-rich. I added a bunch of new goodie huts, a few strategic resources (not a lot, just a few) and a fair amount of luxuries. All starting places have pretty much equal access to these luxuries/resources/goodies, so that isn't any huge advantage for the player. It *does* tend to encourage rapid expansion by all the AIs. There is one large continent, two smaller continents and a tiny island. The map is huge. However, if you don't want the map, you can always go to the customization screen and make your own random map.
I and a friend of mine have both been playing this mod for a little while and we both seem to enjoy it. It may be a bit weighted in the player's favor, but hey, I am having fun and that's all that matters, right? If anyone wants to see this mod, I'd be happy to stuffit and send it to them. I do plan to make MAJOR changes to this mod once the 1.21 patch comes out, but until then, I am having fun.
Let me know if you would like me to tinker with some rules or would like to see my mod. Thanks. You can write me at <ferretloverdc@earthlink.net>
