Revolutionary War Scenario 1st Release! A Must Play!

[viper275]

Very good scenario, had fun with it. I played as the colonists, had a few things to mention. Plan to try the British soon.
-When I won, I got an error message. It says it's missing an entry in Scenarios/Rev War Scenario/text/PediaIcons.txt and the entry is HURTN_RACE_IROQUOIS. Need to edit the PediaIcons.
-For the colonists, a mouted officer is more expensive than a militiaman but weaker. The Militiaman is overpowered IMO because it's very fast and extremely cheap (so cheap you can even build them in horribly corrupt or captured cities.) In fact, I dropped off 100+ of them in England on my last turn.
-The map has some empty space. Maybe you could use MapTweak to remove it? It's also kind of strange seeing Uranium and raiding Hun encampments in Mesoamerica, I might take that out if I were you.
-I won too fast, July of 1777. Doesn't seem very realistic. Maybe more victory points required, or more cities for the British in the American continent?
-I want to be able to put my units like mounted armies in Galleons. I understand there'd be a problem of having army armies, though. Maybe make them flavors for regular armies?

Just a few thoughts. Excellent scenario.

Hey I downloaded the scenario and when I loaded it I recieved the error message (attached). I put the main file in the Scenarios folder and the other two folders of files in a sub folder in the scenarios folder. If this is a problem then I'm curious as to where to put the other files... That was the only thing I could think of.

Hey pillowmaker,
Take a look at the date of the last post, this scenario has long gone into retirement as far as I can tell so I wouldn't expect to much actual game support.

That said, the file setup is important and should not be too hard to figure out. Take a look at one of the Conquests scenario file structures (all the folders will have the same names as there counterparts in other mods--it is, of course, the files themselves that differ) to see how the folders are set up and model yours accordingly. It should look something like:

Civilization III\Conquests\Scenarios\[the mod name]\[2 folders bearing the names "art" and "text"]\[inside text there should be a varying number of .txt files, inside art there should be a number of folders of which "units" is perhaps the most common]

Make sure the folders are set up this way and you should be good to go (unless the mod itself is bugged).

I had it set up right... I moved it to the Conquests folder and it works fine as far as I can tell...

So it does work now? It is important to have it in the right folder Conquests\Scenarios or Conquests\Conquests whichever the mod or scenario was intended for.

 

[pillowmaker911]

Yeah it works so far... I haven't much chance to play it much but it loads perfectly fine.

hey natedawg

if you have or ever played civilization 4, i recommend using the revolutionary war scenario from there. It has only a map of eastern america and is fairly balanced.

I guess NateDawgNY has moved on. Too bad, I'd like to congratulate him on this Scenario. Not perfect, but I'm having fun with it. I like the look and selection of units.. I've also enjoyed messing with the settings - mainly the unit strengths need adjustment, else the Colonists kick b--t just a little too easily. (way too easily actually) Viper275 is dead right about them Militiamen - Rifleman also overpowered imho. Another thing: I reduced the moves-per-turn (on road) to 5, and eliminated the "ignores movement costs" ability. Just increase the number of moves for specific pieces to achieve the same result if you want a scout-like (really more like an armed explorer) effect. Potential here for a really great "version 2" from the right modder!

Is this for version 1.22?

Just patch up to 1.22 and you should be able to play all Conquests scenarios.
