Hi,
that is right I know hown frustrating it is when people download your files but don't respond.
I donwloaded it, looked at it carefully in the editor and quite liked what I saw (so I graded you) now it took a while when I launched it and I haven't had the time to play a real game now.
At the moment : great pending further gaming

I've downloaded it but haven't got time to install it (exams).
Don't worry about people not replying: it' very common. (and annoying
)
A quick question: is this scenario based on EU1 or EU2?

Yes, it IS very fustrating! However, I presume that the scenario is so heavy that people have no time to play it in one day, and so the can't give any feedback...yet. That's what I hope!
The scenario is based on both versions of Europa. EU2, for example, does not include Hansaetic League. For the gaming purposes, I have included it in the scenario to avoid advantage of minor nations (they would belong to the Minor Nations in the scenario if there weren't Hansaetic League).
Civilization advances are also lightly based on Europa Universalis, both versions.
However, the idea is the biggest "copy" from the EU. Most of the scenario is based on my knownledge, and therefore it might not be as accurate as it could be. And that's what I need your feedback (and of course, to bugs as well!).

I really like the game Europa Universalis, and the scenario is pretty fun too. In Europa I have conquered all of Germany, Italy, Half of Spain, and most of the balkans as france in just 10 years.

Hmmm...sounds like there's a little unbalance somewhere! France definetly has an advantage in numbers; cities and armies.
What difficulty level did you play at? (I'm still not sure if this affects in AI's combat values or skill at all, but it could be the reason if the difficulty level is low).
Well, it could also be fun as you said
However, I planned the scenario to be a realistic reflection from the past, and this does not sound like real! So I'll see what I can do, and post the update if something turns out.
As always, any ideas are most welcome!

I found the same pb last night. Fact is it is probably realistic since France was then a major power with the first population of Europe. The Habsburgs could contain France since they had more territories, whose benefits included gold from Amercia and trade in the Netherlands. But it is basically England with its "balance power" politics that succeeded in restraining France so that would show as an alliance in the game (which cannot be done at the moment). Otherwise France has really an easy job in picking small German powers one by one.

Hakkaa päälle!
Yes, it's sad there's no events included in CivIII. It would add great detail in any scenario. Anyway, as long as the facts are as LouLong told, I'm happy with the balance.
Now, a question for those who have played the scenario for a while: has any wars occured between AI players? Before release of the scenario, the aggression levels were a bit lower than in the scenario you are currently playing, and no AI ever declared wars against each other. What is the situation now? I haven't had time to play the scenario far enough (yet), so I ask this from you.
Oh, and another: Has AI started colonization?

can this scenario be played in the original CIV3? i only have civ3.
Elsilhe
Hakkaa päälle!
Currently, no. I'm planning to make a lighter version of the scenario after I get this work the way I want. I was thinking that it could be as well be made to work with original civ3.
And again, I'll say this: I can't make this by myself. I need THE FEEDBACK!!! Until then, I can't think making this new version, or even geting this orginal better.

Hmm...strange. I've played test games with Spanish and all files loaded well.
Did you zip the files using "Use folder names" option? Or have the files gone in a wrong directory? I have no other explanation for now, just check if the files are located in correct directory.

hi Elsihe,
the files EU5.zip and EU7.zip have the same files in.

Well, that explains a lot! Thanks for noting, i wouldn't have noticed that myself.
Sorry all, my mistake. I'll replace the file now.

Hakkaa päälle!
This is why I need your info.
Firstly, if the scenario takes 2+ hours to load, it shold be modified.
Secondly, if there ARE some crashes, I'd like to know about it. In this case, I'd like to know what nation are you playing with, and waht exactly did the error message say?
Sorry if being annoying Carthago. I've just awaited some feedback for a month, and I'm frustrated! I thank you for the feedback, very much!
Elsilhe
Hakkaa päälle!
Yep, I really HAD forgot the .ini files for Teutonic Knight. What I'm going to do next is to zip the files again. I'll send the update of the scenario in the same packages. The files will be available for loading in the first page of the thread very soon!

You should go through and make sure ALL of the units have their own folder and .INI files within those folders...finding such a bug can take HOURS! I'm not saying there are any in your scenario, just letting you know from experience with mine when I had a missing .INI file.
I've never played Europa Universalis, but it sounds like this scenario would be worth giving a try.
I noticed some historical arguments about France, in the late 1400's, France was not that strong, Spain at the time was easily a match for them. England was not the balance of power on the continent at that time yet either. Austria, too, was only starting to gain strength. By the early 1500's, the Habsburgs were easily a match for any power in Europe, but the Ottoman Empire was even stronger. Late 1500's, is where France started to gain some power, despite several small-scale civil wars, while Spain reached the height of its power. Early 1600's, Spain begins to decline, Austria beats back the Turks some, France starts to assume greater interest in German affairs. Thirty-years war was basically a coalition of Protestant German states vs. Austria, first Denmark, then Sweden, then France as well, joined on the Protestant side. Pretty much a back and forth for 30 years.
So, making France the most powerful country in Europe initially, I think personally, is a bit historically inaccurate, unless the scenario starts at least of the time of Louis XIV. (1643-1714)
