News flash !! LA BELLE EPOQUE RELEASED !! New civ2 scenario out!

[Eivind IV]

La Belle Epoque
January 1902

Behold! After 7 months of developing and play testing, an unhealty amount of work, I can finally present to you the release version for my latest scenario - La Belle Epoque! It contains a large innovative tech tree, fairline units, sweet graphics in general and game balance. It's optimized for PBEM play. Should work in SP as well.

After the Franco-German war in 1870/71, Europe enjoyed a period of interior peace for more than forty years until the start of the First World War in 1914. During this period, many important developments took place, especially in England, France, Austria, Germany and the United States.
The second wave of the industrial revolution seized the world. Above all it concerned the chemical industry and the electrical engineering, it was the start of the era of the combustion engine and the mass production of steel, the machines became more efficient and more powerful, the ships bigger and their construction less expensive, the propulsion changed from the paddle to the screw, from the piston to the turbine, and their speed doubled. The trains got steel rails on which longer and heavier trains could drive one and a half times as fast as before; therefore it became the most important mean of transportation.
At the same time began the definite conquest of the air: The first planes were built, and the airships of Zeppelin went down in history. People living in this period were materially confident and culturally optimistic. All social classes were seized by the feeling of a new start into better times. So began, on this basis, the time which nowadays not only the French call the 'La Belle Epoque' (The beutiful time).

Civs:
1. The Russian Empire
2. The Empire of Japan
3. The German Empire (including Austro-Hungary)
4. The French Empire
5. United States of America
6. The British Empire
7. The Ottoman Empire

8. Barbarians: Neutrals (not playable)


Enjoy this brand new Empire Building scenario, people!

Just started playing it (SP); looks good so far.
The only bad thing I've seen is that the city name on the
City Screen is almost unreadable due to the flags.

 

[Eivind IV]

Thanks!

Any cities in particular?

 

[Filipe_FR]

Another great scenario...

I agree with Serutan, the cities names and other titles are unreadable beacause of the background colored flags.

 

[Serutan]

Filipe said it, all the city names are unreadable.
