Well, I played until...I believe it was...sometime in the 1300s. One either Price or Monarch, newest version. I'm not rally sure, cause my Civ4 go SNAFUed recently, and I had to uninstall it and junk. Anyway, We got up to...Rifles, I think. Either that or Muskets. In a more detailed version, I had a mutual agreement with Byzantium. We both decided to fight France. I, being closer, took advantage of my position before Byzantium could get their forces in place. I took Northern France, and got them to Capitulate, after a bloody seige of Paris, and a counter attack that almost took it back.
Byzantium didn't like the idea of me gaining mroe ground then them, so they decided to double-cross me. Since they had taken Italy in a bloody war about 50 years before hand, they sent troops right into my heartland, which I left lightly defneded, having taken a lot of troops that denfed my cities to war. So, The Byzantines swpet through Germany, until Berlin. I had gotten my army to Berlin, and was prepared to attack. However, I overlooked the two Great Generals that the Byzantines had, and was soundly defeated. With no Army, I was forced to pull whatever forces I had back to France, and try to ferry my troops across the English Channel, were I'd hopefully be able to acquire a city or two from the weak English. However, I failed, and after a heroic last stand, much like Constantine XI, the Byzantines defeated me, having controll of the majority of Europe.
The reason I asked about the senarios is that I have an idea, motivated by a book I read recently. It's an Alternate History/Science Ficton book dealing with a no Muslim world(Muhhammad converted to Christianity on a trading trip to Syria, later joined a monestary, and composed great hymns, eventually becoming the Cardnial of New Carthage, and a saint), and how the Byzantine Empire(They call themselves Roman, as we all know they did), flurished, and was ale to reconquer Hispania, Southern France from the Franks, and Italy.
Thus, their only rival is really Persia, and China. The Franks are powerful also, but not too. The Anglo-Saxon England, since there was no Norman Conquest, is a sometimes ally of Byzantium. I was wondering if that would spark your intrest.
