Scenario Project: The Persian Empire

What's "Communications" gonna give? If it's about diplomacy, perhaps something like "Embassies", "Diplomatic Missions" or "Xenia" (the last being the Greek name for the practice of having a representative - roughly analoguous to a modern consul - in a foreign city/state).
 
About Leaders:

Shouldn't Cyrus be the leader of Persia?

I would make Alexander the King of Greece, even though he wouldn't have been born through most of the game, but because he would have had the biggest Macedonian impact on Persia. Besides, the only other Macedonians that I know of are his father, Phillip, and some king during the Peloponnesian War known as Perdiccas.
 
Therefore I said Philip... :)
the tech tree is ok ... :) I wouldn't take a greek name for a tech anyways... :) perhaps some other techs to the smaller branch?

But I cannot think of one.

Communications simply allow the civs to trade communications. Thought that would be obvious:p And I prefer generic names.

I agree 100%. Actually a lot of Macedonian kings were named Aelxander, so the name works pretty well.
Perhaps make Propaganda dependent on Communications? I do tend to dislike disconnected tech-trees ...

Yeah, I'll do it just for the sake of connected tech trees;)

Eh, what?
 
nothing, if you connect the two branches everything is alright. I just thought, because there was a part of the tech tree that has only two techs, this needs a solution. But you did this already (I just not saw it. .. .

Here are a few leaders. Not exactly the best of the leaders because both were conquered by Persia.

Astyages of Medes and Croesus of Lydia.
 
Ok time for another update.

I have made the second era tech tree. The mod is now ready for testing, though I still need a few names and such, but its details that doesn't affect gameplay.

For the testers: I will send you the files tomorrow (Monday the the 23rd.)

So far only the conquest victory condition is on, but I want to incorporate domination and victory points too. However that will be in BETA 2.
 
lol, actually that's not funny:cry:

ohwell testing will be more than one week anyway, you just have to catch up:p
 
Given that this scen is supposed to be about the expansion of Achaemenid Persia, I can't see what would be wrong with having Astyages and Croesus (and Nabonidus for Babylonia), but if more forfuntate leaders are called for, possible ones include:

Deioces - legendary founder of Media
Phraortes - made Media independent of Assyria
Cyaxares - defeated Assyria, made Media a great power

Candaules
Gyges
Ardys
Sadyattes
Alyattes - chased the Cimmerians out of central Anatolia

Of course, all of these are very early timeline-wise, which is another argument for sticking to Astyages and Croesus.
 
I was trying to think of a leader who didn't loose, but still fit in the timeline. Of course, that usually isn't the case considering the speed in which Persia conquered. ;)
 
Ok the Beta 1 is out. Here is what to look after:


1. AI behavior(spell?).

2. Unit balance. Is more/less units needed at the beginning. Does the AI handle the unit correctly?

3. If there is any thoughts that hit you when playing, then please write them down or something. All suggestions are appreciatet.

Finally please remember to say what difficulty and AI aggresion you play with when you post feedback;)

BTW- TLC can you provide me with another email? I get a message back that the mail wasn't delivered when I try to mail the scenario to you.
 
First quick impressions :

- graphic issues with 3 cities : Gaza, Jerusalem, Der
- Lindus should be Lindos
- BTW the test version is "still" in debug mod

Otherwise looks nice. You will add more "flavor" units I guess ?

-oh yes, hope you can change that yourself;)

Lol no units has been added yet:p
 
Ok this is getting really annoying:mad: TLC I failed to send it to the third mail you gave me. Im gonna try and send it to the first again in 2 mins.

To those who arent TLC or mitsho(cause he cant do anything this week), that would be Lou, have you tried it? Im hopefully gonna do some serious testing today/night.

edit: I think I succeded to send it to the second email you gave me!
