I notice you gave Parthia 2 cities to the Seleucid 8. Unless if you want Parthia to be a non-factor like alot of games, they need to have a good army or really good land. Other then that, looks good.

They are going to have a gigantic army to take over the Seleucids and the whole middle east, just like in history.

The Roman Republic just 4 cities when Carthage gets 7 ?
That's quite bizarre.

That depends on the exact start year: in 218 BC Hannibal crossed the Alps to start rampaging through Italy. However, in 201 BC Scipio had subdued the Hispanic cities were Hannibal started his campaign from.

Seems like you have chosen slightly different setting (Carthage > Rome, mine is Carthage < Rome; China is united, mine is divided; India is Sunga, Mine is still Maryuan), which is good

Considering what Scipio accomplished I was expecting Rome to have 6-7 cities and Carthage to have 3-4.
The romans controlled all the western mediterranean (Sardinia, Corsica, Balears), nearly all the italian peninsula, plus all southern spain.

I believe just Marseille in southern France was a greek colony.

This will be during the 2nd Punic War. Lots of Elephants for Carthage. Rome still should win, but it won't be easy.

Cool, ijnavy!

Carthago delenda est!!!!

 

[Ajidica]

Also remember: Rome gets Praetorians. Carthage gets Numidian Cavalry and War Elephants. While each are good units, they arn't as good as the legion.

 

[Traiano]

Any idea yet when the 200 BC scenario will be uploaded?

 

[ijnavy]

The 200 BC scenario should be uploaded within the next 2 weeks. I also wanted to ask if the game is dynamic enough and does the AI declare war?

 

[ijnavy]

Update on 200 BC:
All cities and units have been added. Again, it should be completed next week.
How is 1100 AD doing?

I'm playing the mod consistently but cant really comment, considering I tweaked the set up quite a bit using the WBS...

I took off Manzikert and placed Edessa, in French hands, then added Bratislava for Hungary after removing Wien - to downpower the HRE - placed two cities for the Byzantines in Crete and Rhodes and gave Iconium and Sinope to the Seljuks, so that they control nearly all Anatolia.
I weakened the almoravids cities so that the Recoqnuista happens nearly always and both Castille and Aragona manage to expand (even though stupid Aragon AI fails to conquer the Palma de Maiorca city that I placed when I added the Balear Isles, right off the Valencia coast, in barbarian hands).
Rome is in "neutral" papal hands (i.e. barbarians...an heresy!?).

On this game the HRE comes out less strong, obviously enough, and in the east Mongols and Tai contain the Songs quite well.
It is pretty balanced.
Even though nobody ever goes to the Americas...(FYI, I play at Noble, perhaps at higher levels the AI gets "smarter" and learns to colonize).

Sorry I cant give you feedback but my thirst for historically accurate/give-a-chance-to-every-civs, dragged me on a slightly different path...

That said, I really look forward to seeing your 200 BC and 1300 AD scenarios (where Venice, at last, will be meaningful).

 

[lamppost4]

I tried to play as Venice but I had some trouble. First of all, I just don't have the patience to play on marathon speed (but thats not really your fault). I did find, however, that it is hard to get their cities to grow because of all the hills in the area and the fact that there is only one seafood resource way down south.
I think maybe expanding might have helped but I am more of a pacifist so I wouldn't know.
I just think that their needs to be more ways to grow the cities.

 

[ijnavy]

Should I change this map to the new version GEM?
I am almost finished with 200 BC, I just cannot decide on the religions. Here is what I have:
Religions :
Tribal religions? (Africa and Americas)
Zoroastrianism (Parthia)
European religions
Greek Mythology (Hellenistic civs)
Confucianism (Far East)
Hinduism (India)
Buddhism (India)
Christianity (not discovered yet)
There are going to be 8 religions. Do you think that this is a good choice?

I think you shoukd keep to the most recent GEM if possible.

If you use Ancient Mythology you cover all European religions + ancient Middle East and can add Taoism (China) and Judaism or Druidism, if you like. (From your suggested selection I gather there's a scenario end before 630 AD?) Otherwise,

 

[ijnavy]

Should I make it end early. How do I make it so?

 

[Agent327]

Number of turns is defined in the WBS file (in the 1st 10 lines or so, before the Team definitions), which can be edited at will. I'm not saying you have to, I was just presuming you were as you don't list Islam as a religion.
