Going Viking 2

[KingArthur]

@West36 - Mentat started his own thread for an expanded version of this scenario. You can find it here : http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=4582810

I'm not sure if he's still working on it or has abandoned it. Still, I might expand this scenario myself since there is renewed interest in it. Also, it would be a chance to fix any remaining bugs such as the ones Corn Planter found.

I tried this awhile ago as Norse.
Game kept crashing when about to complete Leif Erikson.

Could not tell but think the patch fixes this.
So I try again.

From what I played, I did not think it is too easy (as Norse anyway)
I could not get production or luxury going as quick as I am used to.
And the Danes in Sweden were always trying to take my expensive slow workers.

Also I do know I will not be able to advance so quickly.
I only hope that no one else will either......

If you ever upgrade the time-frame
I will certainly try it too.

Danke.

Aye me lad! Good Pillaging scenario! But I was wondering if you a Scotsman like yourself could make a scenario about the Highlands. Good day Laddie!!!

I have 2 sitting unfininshed on my hard disk. 1 is a scenario featuring the Northern and Southern Picts, Dalriada, Northumbria, Orkney (Vikings again), Ui Neill (Irish) and Strathclyde British/Welsh.

The other is based on the (1st) Scottish War of Independence featuring Bruce, Comyn, Wallace, McDougall, McDonald and The English.

Aye it does not get better for a Scotsman!!!. P.S. where did you get that picture of King Arthur from Monty Python and if so how can one get it.

 

[KingArthur]

Google's 'Images' search option of course. You could always right click my avatar pic and save a copy

 

[SuperKidNic1]

Thank you Laddie!!! I will try to do it!!!

Are you sure "ignore movement cost" works on water?

 

[cubsfan6506]

If you need any copy and paste tech icons i can do it.

No. However, it is an option in the editor. I'm assuming it works but I need to test it.

Thanks.
I'll need someone to put the tech arrows on for me if you'd be willing to do that?

 

[cubsfan6506]

I may be able to do that.

It works so long as the terrain in question has been given a movement value higher than 1 (or a value of "0", which would turn the terrain in question into permanent Railroads!)

 

[Tank_Guy#3]

As usual, I'm late to the party. But I will definitely be giving this one a shot. If it's even remotely close to Camelot! I'll definitely enjoy it. I would also be very interested in those two Scottish you have on the back burner, even from what I've read they sound fan-freakin-tastic!

 

[KingArthur]

That's good to know Virote. I plan on setting the move cost to 2 for both sea and coast.

Tank Guy#3 - do give it a shot. I'm remaking this scenario so let me know what you like and don't like.

One question I have for everyone is do I keep the hidden nationality flag on Raiders? A lot of people thought they were a right pain . However, I like the fact you can go raiding without starting a war. In the new version they only have 2.1.1 stats and are soon superseded by better units eg the 3.2.1 swordsman type. They will be amphibious too.

 

[Tank_Guy#3]

I believe you should keep the hidden nationality flag, as that makes things more realistic. And besides, weren't Viking's a real pain ?

 

[KingArthur]

ooh and look at the pretty arrows

I've pretty much finalised the first 2 eras now.
