There's a 2008 scenario in progress for Giant Earth Mod.
Lokolus has a Greek World scenario in his Classical Antiquity mod for BtS.
A Civ simulation of the US voting process as a modded scenario would be an innovation - and challenging - indeed. (Someone mentioned this idea, but I've been unable to locate the original post.)
In it's simplest form it would require some sort of simulation of the presidential voting campaign, possibly eliminating all Victory conditions save the UN (= Presidency). In a more elaborate version it might even include the pre-candidate campaigns (Democrats, Republicans, Independents).
PS: Would be great if someone could make this before the election!

Not to mention the World 2008 mod...

I would love to see a scenario for the latest version of BtS that depicts the unification of Japan, almost like the Chinese scenario that can be found in Warlords..
This fantastic map of Japan and part of Korea, uploaded only two weeks ago, could be very useful in providing a basis for the scenario. There are also plenty of Japanese / Asian 'ethnic' units out there that would serve to provide flavour and there are also a few graphical mods that add Asian buildings.. All in all, I think this scenario could be very do-able..
I'd love to be involved with it somehow, but unfortunately I have no experience in modding CivIV or making scenario's, so I thought I'd post in this thread and hope someone picks up on it!
By the way, I'm currently reading 'Shogun' by James Clavell, so that's why I'm so interested / excited..
EDIT: Also, I know about the Sengoku-Jidai mod, but that mod isn't compatible with Beyond the Sword and the creator of the mod last let anything be heard from him in the thread in February of this year..

The War with Georgia and Russia is starting to get more and more deadly..Russia invaded Georgia yesterday after Georgia attacked the South Ossetian Rebels(Personallly I agree with Georgia trying to reunite their country)...anyways
I wanna see a BTS scenario about this by tommorow! possible using a MOD to make the scenario more interesting like a mod that adds in units and stuff
Ok but to be serious I would like someone to make a scenario about this sometime though

I already said this on page 6 but does anyone know of any scenarios of modern day Europe.
Looking for a good WWIII scenario with US, Russia, Israel, Iran, Syria, Britian and China as playable civs. Anyone working on anything or know of one already posted? A good Cold War scenario with the same playable civs will work too, of course in addition to the other civs in the political climate of the period.

i would like one of the crusades BASED in the crusader target lands
no america,no europe,just the middle east,england,france and germany trying to get it from the turks and muslims
PLEASE
Jeelen has a crusades Scenario
True...
... but it includes most of Europe. (Not sure how you would manage a Crusades scenario without Europe, but including England, France and Germany.) CivIII had several scenarios focusing on the Crusader states; maybe someone is interested in doing a CivIV version?

I'd like to play a unification of ancient Greece scenario. Here's how I envision it.
The scenario would take place between 800 BC and 323 BC. It would take place on a (flat) map of the Aegean with views of western Anatolia and Greece. The factions would include those who had historically attempted hegemony/unification of Greece. Those would include Athens, Achaea, Aetolia, Sparta, Thebes, and Macedonia. Some non-playable factions might include Ionia, Aeolia, Elis, Corinth, Megara, Locris, Thessaly, and Epirus. I also envision a scripted Persia occupying Sardis as the capitol of the satrapy of Lydia (with its satrap Tissaphernes). Persia would serve as a foil for the Greeks, and would plan invasions in the 5th century BC. Or it may also serve as a useful ally, such as when the Spartans did so in the Peloponnesian War.
With so many civs in such a small area, colonization would be limited. Cities could not be razed.
From the get-go, the factions would be at each others' throats, due to the limited space. There might be some barbarian cities thrown around for a land grab, such as in the Aegean islands and Messenia, but outside of that, most would be stuck as city-states.
The units would include, in upgrade order:
Spearman -> Hoplite -> Phalanx
Peltast
Hypaspist
Penteconter -> Bireme -> Trireme
Horseman -> Companion (UU of Macedonia)
Some buildings might include:
Barracks (UB for Sparta, available early)
Gymnasion (+health)
Palaestra (+experience, available later than barracks and requires gym)
Odeon (UB for Athens)
Agora (same effect as Market)
Stoa (same effect as Grocer)
Temple (+happiness)
Fountain (+health)
Bouleterion (like a courthouse)
As for civics, there are some obvious limits as compared to standard Civ4. I would remove religious civics, as all the Greeks had the same religion. For government, there would be monarchy, oligarchy, democracy, and philosophocracy (proposed but never implemented by Plato). For legal, there would be martial law, civil law, and royal law. For labor, there would be slavery, helotism, and caste system. For economic, there would be barter and monetary. I haven't fleshed these out very well.

Your wish has been granted: check out The dawn of Napoleonic Age in the scenarios threads.

@Nanocyborgasm: someone was working on such a scenario... haven't heard of it getting finished yet, though. There is the Ancient Greece scenario by asioasioasio for BtS.
I would also be interested in a Crusades scenario - or more specifically a scenario with a map of of the Middle East 1099-1292 and where the challenge would be to either make sure that the Crusader states are not taken - or alternative to drive the crusaders back into the sea!
It is possible that vassals could add some spice to such a scenario. I.e. instead of just having the "Kingdom of Jerusalem" being one big state, it could be a state with three vassals: the Principality of Antioch, County of Tripoli and the County of Edessa. In reality the king of Jerusalem would not have full control over these area.
I also think I understand when Danuis writes that he wants England, France and Germany as part of the scanario. In reality the Kingdom of Jerusalem would not be building a big army and then go on the offensive. From time to time a crusading army would arrive, which would allow the franks to go make an offensive (e.g. attacking Damascus in the second crusade, attempting to retake Jerusalem in the third crusade). Thus England, France and Germany should in some way be part of the scenario - as armies from these countries played a signifcant role for the crusader states. Maybe a solution could be to have armies arrive at the scene at certain times?
Civs could include:
Kingdom of Jerusalem
Principality of Antioch, County of Tripoli and the County of Edessa (vassals or allied to the Kingdom of Jerusalem)
Byzantine Empire (orthodox catholics and therefore not always friend with the crusader states)
Armenian Cilicia
Kingdom of Georgia
Fatimid Caliphate of Cairo
Emirate of Damascus
Sultanate of Rum

There was actually a scenario more or less along these lines (though not BtS and with less civs):

But it doesn't work any longer.
Ok, it would be very much appreciated if anybody would have a look at this!
