Frederick the Great

[Johann MacLeod]

This is about the Reign of Frederick the Great. I finally have updated it, I added some units, moved some cities, and added some civs. There still are some kinks to work out with the units, (don't go into the units part of the civolopedia, or the science advisors window) but other than that it works fine.
Most of the units are Cossacks conversion units and some American Conquest, so thanks to Steph, Smoking Mirror, and Elsihe for those.

Here are the main files.

Cool scenario, though you have the cities placed more in the east than they should be.

Some screenshots general background on the scenario, who is this Fred guy?, etc. etc.

I'm guessing this is in Europe during the Enlightment age.. but what exactly? It would help to get a little background before downloading with my 56.6k modem. Thanks.

 

[Sarevok]

i like the idea, ill be sure to look at thias!

 

[Phoenix]

Great Scenario! I'm not very keen on the jungle though (you could delete it and declare that forests can contain rubber & any other benefits from jungle). One question though - what have you got again Olover Cromwell (the sig)?

 

[Johann MacLeod]

Mobilize, Frederick the Great ruled Prussia from 1740 to 1786. He was the most enlightened king of the 18th century. Prussia became a European power in his reign. His country became a plca of freedom. The freedom of speech, religion and property were granted. Under his rule the first modern civil code was made, although being a monster: the ALR ( Allgemeines Landrecht für die preußischen Staaten) from 1794 was a mixture of penal, civil, trial, administrational and constitutional law.
Frederick was much more a philosopher and artist, writing pipe songs and having discussions with philosophers like Voltaire. In Prussia some of the famous German philosophers lived: Moses Mendelssohn and Immanuel Kant for example.
And Frederick was also a quiete good historician and theoretical politician (not only theoretical...). He wrote as crown prince the Antimacchiavell in contrast to Macchiavelli´s Il Principe (the Prince).
Under his rule the potatoe was introduced reducing the risk of hunger to a minimum. And he helped to invent the sugar making out of beets to break the British monupol.
Although he hated war and wrote the Antimacchiavell, he invaded as young king the Autrian country of Silesia in 1740. Later he said he was looking for fame and regretted this deed. However in 3 Silesian wars he was able to hold Silesia against a superiority of French, Austrian and Russian forces. Big victories were as big as catastrophies. Nevertheless the battles of Hohenfriedeberg and Leuthen made him to one of the biggest captains in history.
After the 7 years war was over in 1763 he rebuilt Prussia. Only once again he had to go to war: the potatoe war. He defended Bavaria against Austria. But no huge battle occured. He also sent a general to America to help the continental troops: Friedrich Freiherr von Steuben. Although he had problems with him he saw his qualities as trainer. But he didn´t need him and he wanted to help the Continentals against the British without making his ally Britain too angry. In 1784 Benjamin Franklin and Frederick met to grant the civil rights to the citizenz of both nations. Franklin was very keen about the Prussian king.
He retook the former Prussian territory of western Prussia with the first Polish diversion. He did so to retake the land. therwise Austria and especially Russia would have taken it.
He died in 1786. Although he wanted to be buried in his palais Sans Soucis in Potsdam he was not buried with all military honours there until 1996.
This is the short history of this big man.

Bug Report:
Danes are Carthagians
Kemi (in Finland) should be Turku or you can move Kemi to north of Oulu

Great scenario
Denmark and Poland are already Prussian

 

[Johann MacLeod]

Another thing you can do is replace the rifleman with the Napoleonic musketman and the guerilla with the minuteman, and eliminate all the other industrial age units so you don't have 20th century infantry running around in the 1770s.

Adler, I know who Frederick the Great was, I was just insisting on giving some information to people who may not know who he was.

I was just playing this scenario not to long ago as the Otties.. very fun game. Prussia and Russia teamed up on me though.
