Help for score settings!!!

Ok, my War fro Austrian Succession is going on now, but i still need a tip before playtesting.

I'm not really happy about Civ2 score system or objectives cities assignment... so i wanted to ask for your opinion .

I inspired myself to Risiko score system, considering every city as a territory card, and every civ with a different objective to realize. And so this is what i planned to do...
My humble idea : a political system, with a different goal for every nation.

Example:

You're playing as Austria? then you'll have to realize a certain goal, that's more exactly defend Slesia against Prussia, and reassure Imperial position over Germany...

You're playing as Spain? You'll have to take a leadership position in Italy, throwing out Austrian influence...

You're playing as France? Destroy Habsburg power, then...

and so on.

So? What do you think about it? Or should i combine it with one of traditional Civ score systems?

thanks, Prom

Only real possibility I see is to include 1 different scenario for each civ you want to play. Alter the objective civilization and value of cities in each of the different file, and name each scenario file within the folder "country".scn where country is the name of the country the scenario is designed for.

Other, more experienced civers around might have better idea.

It's a good scoring systme ofcourse, but you can't *program* it into Civ II, so you'll have to make it a scoring system independently from the game.

Oda, thanks!!! even if your tip can be applied only playing as Prussian.

Willem, are you meaning a colonies style rating point system?

Er.., I meant more like you put the *your* scoring system in an wordfile or something and let people check from that thing how good they were and if they succeeded at all.....

... that's exactly what John Ellis did in his masterpiece Colonies version 3.12.
