    Hey guys,

    Some may have already seen this WIP search/collecting thread in other places but I'm on the hunt for Civilization series scenarios/mods relating to these topics/games/TV&Films:
    Mars Colonization, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, Command & Conquer, Red Alert, Dune, Master of Magic, Sid Meier's Colonization, Master of Orion, Doom, Babylon 5, Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate, Fallout / Apocalypse, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones and Heroes of Might & Magic.
    I'm mainly looking at and playing classic Civ games for now eg Civ2, Civ2ToT, and Civ3. However down the track I'll be looking at mods related to these things for Civ 4, 5 & 6 too but haven't done much looking yet since like I said I'm buried in the classics at the moment haha. I've found a few on my own, and of course now I'm even making a few of my own lol! I’ve also decided to add FreeCiv to the list as there’s been some interesting total conversion Modpacks releases over the last few years so it’ll be interesting to see what cool stuff comes along in the years to come. I'd love to include Call to Power 1 & 2 as well but there just doesn't seem to be many total conversion mods for them out there and none I can find under these categories.

    Over the last year I've searched the SLeague site, backups of CradleOfCiv, Tecumseh's Village, Mercator's Civ2 Site, The Spanish Civ2 Site, & Atomic Network, downloads and forum history of CivFanatics & Apolyton (open to suggestions of more places to search) as well as private msg'ing some of the gurus for this stuff and I've even made a few individual threads here and there but now I figure it's time I do a more combined public post in each of the Civ game communities to see if there's more lost treasures out there relating to the stuff I love that I don't know about. Plus this thread can be helpful to others looking for scenarios relating to these topics for many years to come. Also in cases where we find a scenario but its downloads are gone I can help restore them using my CFC large file access upload if a copy is found. Some of you may have seen me do this previously (eg like with Drift's Civ3 Master of Myrror) or even stick a copy on ModDB's free file hosting as it's not hard.

    I've mentioned this in a few places but I'm working a long term Civilization series youtube video project and website where I show people how to play classic Civ games in HD but I also take people on a tour of mods and scenarios that I love! A lot of these scenario types above would come under the category of 'crossover series' where an existing popular game, movie or tv franchise is brought into Civ's amazing TBS sandbox gameplay formula. I already have videos and tributes on my website and youtube channel for a lot of those other game/TV universes (eg I semi-regularly post C&C RA and Dune multiplayer matches) resulting in me having many community connections in those areas, so once this is all eventually done the series will hopefully bring in some fresh interest into the Civ community here.

    Anyway here are the results of my searches so far... so if you know of something missing or more places to search let me know! :)

    (Note: Many of these projects have working downloads in the newest comments instead of the original first thread post due to their creators being long gone and us fans rescuing their work)

    Sorry, I don't know anything that could help you in this :(
    I THINK someone considered making, or made, Alpha Centauri CIv2 scenario, but it was so many years ago I forget what was it, and if it was at all.
    Sorry.

    -----------

    All good, thanks for looking anyway. :) I would love to find some Alpha Centauri themed Civ2 scenarios!

    Oh wow!!! I had not considered Fallout until you posted that. I'm super impressed with the screenshots in those threads. I might just have to add fallout to the list and do a video about them too haha. And you know of even more out there??? Please do tell. :)

    Someone on another forum also suggested I cover LOTR too.. I've seen a few Civ2 scenarios relating to it, and I think I've inherited some Civ3 ones from people giving me stuff. No doubt there's so many haha.

    Been busy finding rescuing (with help) some more cool projects over the last few months. Also as suggested by others I've added 2 more popular franchises to the list. A Lord of the Rings section and a Fallout/Mad Max/Apocalypse section and added a few well known scenarios to them. I am naturally on the look out for more good ones so please let me know about any good ones missing.

    I've also included mod authors or team leader names (when possible) to each entry to avoid further misunderstandings caused by some scenarios having the exact same name.

    List updates...

    I've been been busy some more lol! Have added another franchise section to the list that I like and see people making Civ scenarios for, Game of Thrones! I’ve also decided to add a FreeCiv game category to the list as there’s been some interesting total conversion Modpacks releases over the last few years so it’ll be interesting to see what cool stuff comes along in the years to come.

    List updates...

    Civ1:

    Civ2:

    Civ2ToT:
    • Have added mention of the official Microprose Lalande 21185 scenario to the list (in the Alpha Centauri / Alien Colonization section).

    Civ3:

    Civ4:

    Civ5:

    FreeCiv:
    • Have added mention of Cazfi's Alien Modpack to the list (in the Alpha Centauri / Alien Colonization section).
    • Have added mention of Magic Modpack (that I need to look into further) to the list (in the Master of Magic section).
    • Have added mention of some colonization themed scenarios and possible mods (that I need to look into further) to the list (in the Sid Meier's Colonization section).
    • Have added mention of the almighty huge and very playable FreeCol Project originally built from FreeCiv which is still going today.

    Nice job man!

    Civ2 stuff

    LOTR:
    I think you should add Age of Númenor, Darklord and Angmar to the LOTR list. Some are really not LOTR but part of wider Middle Earth/Arda Tolkien saga but it fits in there.
    There's also 4 scenarios made by a German guy I found digging through Apolyton archive and are apparently LOTR related (haven't opened them but I like the looks of Amazon units :cool: although I don't know what they are doing in Tolkien world).
    Moria a Dark Journey in the Dark
    Return of the king (sequel to above one, both from Civfanatics)

    Also other series:
    - Diskworld
    - Forgotten realms: Underdark, Banewars (from here),
    - Star wars: Battle for Adoij, Death star attack, Dominion, Independece day Borg (from here)
    - Dune: Dune the Battle for Arrakis (not sure if this is the official Civ2 modpack)
    - Warcraft: Azeroth (can be found on Civfanatics)

    There are probably more scenarios on Apolyton archive/Civfanatics.

    That is brilliant @axx ! Thank you so much! I look forward to going through these! You even bagged a Dune scenario for Civ2.. awesome.

    Also shame on me for forgetting Battle for Adoij as I have that and even host it on moddb as it was a big source of inspiration for my own unreleased Star Wars scenario.

    And yeah Warcraft is another franchise I should consider looking at!
