Sack of Constantinople/4th Crusade

[mecob3]

I have constructed a map using Kyriakos's Byzantine map. It takes place around the 14th century. The 4th Crusade has left the Byzantine Empire in ruins. There are nine playable civilizations:
Latin Empire
Pros: Strong UUs, hold the city of Constantinople
Cons: Surrounded by enemies on all sides

Empire of Nicaea
Pros: Have a good shot at retaking Constantinople
Cons: Turks could be a threat

Empire of Trebizond
Pros: Small, developed nation, fairly strong army for its size
Cons: Could be easily conquered by the Turks

Ottomans
Pros: City full of units, ready for expansion
Cons: Only start with one city

Despotate of Epirus
Pros: Isolated from the main conflict
Cons: At war with the Thessalonicans

Kingdom of Thessalonica
Pros: Strong army, source of iron
Cons: War with both its neighbors

Duchy of Athens
Pros: Strong UU
Cons: Too weak to pose any threat

Principality of Achaea
Pros: Source of iron, isolated from threat
Cons: Too weak to pose any threat

Seljuk Turks
Pros: Fairly strong army
Cons: Faces economical and diplomatic problems

First: welcome to CFC and congratulations for this scenario

Some suggestions: you may want to add some atmosphere and flavour by using some of the units available in the download section. Same for city graphics and maybe terrain too.

Please add some details to your first post: did you modify some of the rules ? Units stats ? Etc.

The map is large and has very few cities! I wonder how it plays. I have to try it.

Finally someone used my map in a scenario

Looks interesting. I'll check it out when I retrieve my comp

@Kyriakos: I have been using that map in my scenario for several years. I've just never got round to finishing the scenario...

I would really love to play this scenario, just having trouble with the down loader.

ı have it in Scenarios folder and it can't find something and crashes . Scenario properties does not show a folder to search for , which is it - the Middle Ages of Firaxis ?

You should place some more cities to make the scen better, particularly serb and bulgarian cities are missing, also Venice in the islands
