Italyization
This scenario is completely set in Italy, during its entire history, from the ancient people, to the end of the Kingdom of Italy (the historical ending year is about 1945).
Featuring civilizations:
Traits:
Featuring religions: Jupiter, Christ, Odin, Meithras, Lugh, Tinia, Maymon.
Wonders: (note: still to be balanced)
No corporations. There are "secret" associations instead: Mafia, 'Ndrangheta, Camorra, Carbonari, Sanfedisti, Calderai, Sublimi Maestri Perfetti. They affect the game in several ways other that the corporations do: they modify the trade routes between cities with the same associations of with rival associations, they modify the chance to spread other corporations and the cost of espionage missions.
Great people are now unnamed. Famous "names" are given to "Illustrious personalities" (similar to Founding Fathers of Colonization). You can gain an Illustrious personality by adding up points in a number of ways (from your great people points, your great general points, from your civics, by using your missionaries, by fighting battles, etc), and when you reach a threshold, you receive a random Illustrious personality, depending on the type of points you have (religion, culture, etc.). Illustrious personalities have unique bonuses, most of them are brand new! Some Illustrious personalities are Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Dante, Scipione, Carlo Alberto, Macchiavelli, Vivaldi.
Illustrious personalities:
Featuring world wonders: some of them are the Great Colosseum, the roman Pantheon, the Circus Maximus, Mausoleum of Theodoric, St. Francis basilica, cathedral of Mediolanum, David of Michelangelo, the Leaning Tower, the Divine Comedy. Some of their effects are brand new!
Some of the BTS original Unique Units are still in the game, as barbarians. So periodically some Numidian Cavalries, Janissaries, Egiptian war chariots, Dacian Tarabostes or War Elephants can appear near to your empire to attack you.
New resources, new civics, new techs, new buildings (and some of the old ones are removed; for example, there is NO incense in Italy). And some new events based upon those new items.
It features a kind of "rhye and decay" system, that will cause new and more recent civs to appear in the game, replacing an existing one. For example, while you are facing Romans and Etrusks, and when you enter in the middle ages, Ostrogoths could appear at any moment, invading Roman land with a huge army and trying to take them over. (they could even choose YOU as their victim!)
Units will be randomly given and taken bonuses of several types, at any moment. For example, when you are attacking an enemy city you could discover that your CityRaider3 Swordsman is momentarily unavailable to attack (he has been given the DefendOnly flag), or instead he's gone berserk (available to do collateral damage!!!). These special bonuses last for few turns.
Defensive buildings will be available for your workers to build. You can build ballistas (in the middle ages) or pillboxes (in modern age); these are immoble units, with a good defensive power. You can't build them. Also, you can have up to 5 units of that type (if you want more, you have to disband some of the existing ones). You will periodically be asked if you want one, and your workers will take care of it (a random worker is picked, and while building the pillbox in the plot where he is, he cannot be moved for the next 5 turns).
There are no shrines (well, there's a world wonder with the same effects applied for the current state religion. Besides, cathedrals now add the religion commerce bonus for the city where it's built).
Now holy cities are useful in a different way: they give espionage points against every rival city you know in the world.
A scenario allows to play in a premade huge map of Italy!
There are a lot of other changes. I've given a summary of the main features. Besides, the work is still in progress.
Note: The scenario will be available in English and Italian. Other languages will be in English.
Some screenshot attached.
