Well, i´m not a scenario creation genius but this draw my attention:
@IF
TURN
turn=25
@THEN
GIVETECHNOLOGY
technology=67
receiver=Everyone
@ENDIF
Everyone? Does that command exist? I´ve never seen it. I saw ANYBODY, but not Everyone.
How did you create that?
You know, i tried to create a "give tech" event like the one you did. And when the "select civ" window popped up, these were the options:
TRIGGERATTACKER
TRIGGERDEFENDER
And the 7 civs...
No "Everyone" option...

Nope, tried and that's not it. It think both commands exist, Anybody for something capturing a city (which anyone could do), and Everyone for things to happen to all players. Tried out your idea, but it didnt work. Thanks for the try

I have never in my life seen the "Everyone" command, is it possible that both everyone and something else is at fault?

Denmark has military forces only in the very largest cities and at the southern border. We have three corvettes - the largest ships of the navy. We have a small submarine fleet of small Swedish subs...
The professional forces count about a division - two mechanised infantry brigades and one armoured brigade. It is called the Danish Division, which is overall designated as a "Mechanised" division ("Armoured infantry" in Danish - "Panserinfanteri"). It is a part of a German-Polish-Danish army corps.
We have two special forces units: "Jægerkorpset" (The Hunter's Corps) which is a general special forces unit trained in airdrops and other special missions and "Frømandskorpset" (Diver's Corps) trained in navy special ops.
We have a mechanised brigade of special reserve forces which can be drafted for peacekeeping missions (DIB - Danish International Brigade).
We have militia forces - ineffective, lightly equipped forces about a division in maximum strength.
Other than that, we have general conscription.
We have fifty or sixty F-16s in our airforce.
All in all we have about 15,000 men and women in our armed forces.
... Just thought I'd brief you about the Danish military since you asked about bases. I hope you can use some of it.
BTW, just returned from Sweden...

Are you making the scenario in Fantastic Worlds? Because if you are, you can write @Debug in the line below @Beginevents, and when you then try to start the scenario, a window will pop up, scanning the events files for errors...
Also, you should make sure that the names in the events files are correct (something I can't as I don't know the names and spellings). Are your civs called English, French, Babylonians, Egyptians, Americans, and Indians (would seem like strange civ names for a "Europe 2000 scenario")? It is sure to cause problems if those civs are incorrect. Also, I'm almost positive that "Everybody" is a valid command. It should be a tribe name.
Those are the problems and potential problems I could see...

Thanks for the help. I dont think ive edited the names yet, which is why the tribes are so mixed up. I need to double check that. Thia scenario is for MGE, just so you'll know.

I said 1 March for playtesting and early April for the finished work. However, due to factors i cant control (counting a 15 essay project). So, now i'll say 1 April for the playtest, and maybe mid May for the full version.

It might be a little late in the day but if you still need to know how Ireland would react then I have a few points (I am Irish btw).
Ireland would probably decide against ceding full soverignty. Unlike Spain it really is about the funding here and there is very little romanticisation of the European Ideal or the like. That is not to say there isn't gratitude - Nice 2 was passed after the goverment shamelessly played on emotional blackmail regarding the money we had gained - but in the pinch it would not be enough. Ireland would probably not go entirely anti-fedral (in the sense of being in arms) unless there was no other opption. Most likely we would revert to our tradtional neutrality - which probably means we should share a civ with the Swiss and maybe Malta.
Our army (such as it is, 3 Infantry Brigades with internal Cavalry and Artillery squads and also the Army Ranger Wing - special ops) is based in the Curragh to the South & East of Dublin. The navy is in Cork and Galway. The Air Corps is spred all over but is very small (perhaps 2 helticopter units and 2 fighters gamewise).Finally a UN peacekeeping battalion is on peacekeeping duty in Lebanon. More information can be found here: Defence Forces Homepage
In general Ireland is rich, but poorly armed and thinly populated outside Dublin. We are probably ideal for any sort of Tourism wonder or possibly an American aid wonder, to reflect the close relationship with US. Finally Ireland has no natural enemies (unlike say France).
Hope this helps!

Israel has about 175,000 active troops of which 140,000 are conscripts. The mobilisation force is huge, meaning that in wartime Israel could mobilise 430,000 troops (former conscripts often equipped with older weaponry and machines).
4,300 tanks are in the IDF, which is a huge tank force for such a country. It contains armour from tank generations dating back to the 60s and even 50s, but if the tank forces are stiffened up with top modern Merkavas (if you want a Merkava unit, there is one made by WINTER and ANZAC in my Under Siege) and other Western equipment, it is quite adequate for fighting Arabs. This would by normal standards have the strength of 10-15 armoured divisions (3-7 armoured corps) of different vintages.
The Israelis then have almost 10,000 armoured vehicles (excl. tanks, incl. WWII half-tracks) which would normally be used for armoured support, and would be included in the armoured divisions (which would then reach the total denomination of about 40 armoured/mechanised divisions or 15-20 armoured/mechanised corps).
Into the above calculations should be included that most of this force is relatively old and would only be established in case of total mobilisation which would almost never happen - even in wartime.
My guess would be that the active armoured (modernised) divisions would be about two and the mechanised would count about 5. But since the organisation of Israeli military is very different (brigade structure instead of divisional structure), the numbers can't entirely be confirmed. The mobilisation to at least the active strength would be possible within, say, 12 hours. The total mobilisation would take days.
There is one or two brigades which could be called "special forces" (the Golani and some brigade, the name of which has slipped my mind).
The air forces are huge too, but the active strength would be at about a hundred or perhaps more planes. Most of the mobilisation of the air force would happen with older aircraft too. So, the air forces would be relatively strong too - mostly F-16's and F-15i's and some Mirages are still active.
So, on the map of the Mideast you should make the forces in Israel have about 120% the total strength of all the Arab neighbours.
Finally, it should be added that Israel probably possesses about 200 nuclear warheads, and unspecified amounts of chemical and/or biological agents.
The navy shouldn't be represented by a few corvettes and a destroyer or such. Israel has two Missile subs (with one Polaris nuke each).

I dont know. I havent been able to work for a while. I don't want to throw out another date, because the last two didn't happen. I'm still have trouble with the events file also. And placing and the units is quite tedious.

Was it helpful? Really - there wasn't any simple answer. So one late night hour (it was written at 4 AM CET) I decided to answer your request comprehensively - it really depends whether you want the full mobilisation strength, the active strength, or the actually all-time standing military force, or something else...

Yeah, i compared that with other data i had found. Quite accurate, to say the least. The key problem is the events.
