Peloponnesian War Scenario Development Thread

[The Last Conformist]

City improvements? I'd suggest renaming the Colloseum to Theatre - it sounds more Greeky that way.

Perhaps some kind of "Workshop" or "Forge" with a factory-like effect.

An ancient pop-pollution-handler, if metropoleis are going to figure. Can't think of a catchy name for the moment.

Perhaps split the Harbour into one improvement allowing sea trade, and one making veteran naval units. The later could be called a Naval Yard, the former perhaps simply retain Harbour.

TAM has a Slave Market which produces extra shields but also negative culture. It has been behaving a bit oddly, but the idea might be worth looking into.

Hmmm....Nice Ideas...I want a forge, but I can't seem to find one, besides an aztec forge...And that doesn't look Greek at all! I was thinking of finding a theatre, too... Perhaps a primitive sewer system for the pollution handler...It would replace aqueduct on the city-screen...I'd also make University available in ancient times, maybe create some sort of tax outpost to replace the bank on the map which is a prerequisite for tax collectors, and maybe add a fishery for some unknown reason...I'm also considering changing the Mediterranean gfx to look from Greek-ish...I'm thinkin I could borrow from the GLC mod...How are these ideas?

goos news- now that the weekend is here, i migth be able to get abit more work done on tht map

I NEED more maps an ancient persia! the black sea would be a great boon as well- but it HAS to be ANCIENT! a modern map of either just wont cut it

 

[Amenhotep7]

Alright. I'll be back in a minute with more maps...
P.S.goos news?

Here's one showing three major cities to use and a little of the Black Sea...

 

[Amenhotep7]

Another Mediocre one...

 

[Amenhotep7]

Ooh! This one's good!

 

[Amenhotep7]

Ancient Lydia...

Cilicia

 

[Amenhotep7]

Ancient Phrygia...(Does it ever stop? )

 

[Amenhotep7]

And this map of Ancient Cyprus should wrap it up... Sorry, no Caria map...

 

[Amenhotep7]

Sooo....Anyone have ideas for buildings or perhaps make them for me? If not, then I'll probably take this up...I'll also need to know what the first generation of techs in the tech tree should be! Does anyone have ideas?

 

[Xen]

we should wait and see what we get in qonquests- chances are NO user made buildings will be needed at all...

 

[Amenhotep7]

Really? Well, okay... And I did hear Temple of Zeus was to be in Conquests, so that would probably be good for our scen... Xen, if you were to give a percentage value to how complete the territory is, how would you rate it? were my maps helpful?

 

[Xen]

your maps are okay, but I dont need the whole persian empire, only the part that comes up in the map...

I also need close up of the areas, and ancient citie names, and sites of all the territories in the map...

 

[Amenhotep7]

Hmm...Well, I have Caria, Lydia, Cyprus, and Phrygia, all of which are on the map...

 

[Xen]

bit you do NOT have the maps I need for the black sea coast, nor Italy, nor the pentapolis region of Cyrene in north africa...

 

[Amenhotep7]

O, sorry! I'll be right back!
Here's a mediocre one of Cyrene...

 

[Amenhotep7]

This shows exactly which cities are Greek/Carthaginian and where...

Good news Xen...u can add carthage...

 

[Xen]

I had plans to anyway- i know of a few more Carthy cities on sicilly

 

[Amenhotep7]

O! Okay...Well, carthy territory could be fleshed out in a very short time....Maybe u should do that first...But hey, you've been put in charge of territorial advice, so do whatcha want...

 

[Kryten]

Er....I have a very silly question.....

As Cyrene, Italy, and the north coast of the Euxine (i.e. The Black Sea) played absolutely no part whatsoever in the Peloponnesian War, then why include them?
Yes, Athens got much of it's grain from southern Scythia, but this cannot be simulated by Civ3, and adding this and other places just encourages combat outside the historical region of the conflict.
What's next? Are you going to add Egypt as well?
