[Scenario]-Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Hi there, how is the scenario proceeding?
Bytheway does anyone no if there is a scenario of Genghis Khan or Kublai Khan of Mongolia around 1200 ad. I think it´s strange nobody has made a scenario of that intresting period. Kublai Khan was the ruler of Asia during 1200 ad something and he qonquered China too, he was the person who made Peking a great city, he opened it for trade and other things, even Marco Polo visited Peking during that period. All I am saying could someone do a great scenario of that period because I can´t.

Bosh, I was thinking of making a scenario of this time period. I don't have time right now, though. I also don't have the right map to use. I hear there is a scenario like this coming with the Civ4 expansion, Warlords.

I think the Civ4 expansion is coming with a scenario of Warring Kingdoms. It is most likely be within the period of 403BC - 220BC. Romance of 3 kingdoms is in a completely different period, about 190AD - 280AD.
You could consider using my China195AD map for your scenario?
Glad to hear someone is intrested of such a scenario, I would be very thankful indeed if you would make a scenario like that and when I mean a scenario of that period I don´t want to see civilizations driving around with destroyers and infantrymen after a couple of turnsJustinian519 said:
Is there coming such a scenario in the Civ4 expansion, well I´m going to get it thats for sure.

because it is based on the "three kingdom the spiced up drama edition" (<-- what i call the book
) and not "three kingdom the recorded history"... it is made "romantic" not only by the love affairs, but also modification to the loyalty, trechery, wisdom, capabilities and even stupidity of all the characters. egs.
liubei, zhangfei and guanyu are not recorded historically as oath brothers.
zhangfei made into the foolish of the 3, that he beat up the official after the yellow rebellion when it was historically liubei who did that, the story was changed to made liubei look more noble...
guan yu once demand a girl as spoil of war from cao cao, and cao cao kept the girl for himself...
(this created yet another myth that the girl was diaochan, but then diaochan was a frictional character that was inserted into real event in the 1st place... 
) so cao cao, didn't actually do EVERYTHING to keep guan yu by his side... zhuge liang did not call in "the wind", historically Wu navies knew it via local fisherman about the "unusually weather patterns". zhuge liang was NOT the chief advisor of liubei at the time of red cliff.
if zhuge liang isn't the chief advisor by then then he couldn't had planned the defense of xinye and retreat earlier! in history, liubei came up with all the amazing ideas himeself! so he is actually a very good strategist in reallife!
and the list goes on... OMG, i could talk all day about this alternate history!
mainly designed to revise the story into something more noble and dramatic...
so the "romance" here refers to the dramatic (and untrue) changes, not just your basic love life... hope this answer the question...
OMG i am crazy about ROTK...
i would hope so...Hadean said:
maybe some hero units... a lubu here.... a zhuge liang there
...of course, special side unit like zhuge liang's repeated crossbow that can load10 arrows for rapid firing... the fire attack ship the rattan armored unit
but i think we will need alot of people to help made the units... it ain't easy...
in that age there is some technologies that later implented by western , such as astronomy...
Zhugeliang wrote some book *wisdom* , which is still exist today in the china's national library (kind that)
I think
"zhuge liang did not call in "the wind", historically Wu navies knew it via local fisherman about the "unusually weather patterns". zhuge liang was NOT the chief advisor of liubei at the time of red cliff" -akinkhoo
he is great at Astronomy ... before he fooled the enemies , He learnt first
anyway... how the Time work? (per month or Season? or...)
i ccant wait any longer!

Yess! A 3k Civ4 mod! I got Civ4 yesterday and I'm already looking for one - because for me, no game like Civ is complete without the Three Kingdoms war! I, too, am more interested in the history of the era as opposed to the novel and its lore, but since it's Civ 4, even with a RoTK scenario we have control over our actions. I know nothing about how to mod this game, and if you asked me about details of the Three Kingdoms I'd probably trick you and give you information from the historical sources, so though I offer my assistance I don't know how helpful I'd be!

AMJOR UPDATE!!!!!! I Will be using the current Chinese Unification as a base for my scenario. The map its self will be used. I will change the flags, maybe add Specific Heros, and a few more things. I expect to have a screen or two by Friday to prove this isn't dead yet!!! I'm also gonna check out what darkonion is doing with his mod. Look for a ton of new updates over the next few weeks. All my other mods for different games have been put on hold while i make leaps and bounds in this. Thanks for your continued support, even in my absence.

Indeed Turban is not only an old translation but is also inaccurate. Turban itself is a middle eastern thing and what westerners call Turban is actually called Sarik. Turban is something else entirely, although I should admit that the real Turban resembles a scarf more than a Sarik.
People usually use Yellow Turban Rebellion probably because that rebellion is called that way in all the computer games related to the novel. (Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dynasty Warriors, Dynasty Tactics series and Kessen I and II)
Good luck with the three kingdoms mod btw. And don't miss the movie. That's right, John Woo is shooting a movie of the Battle of Red Cliffs (Chi Bi).

Really?? A movie on Chi Bi, sweet. Have any of you watched the chinese TV series? I love it.
i just have to ask, you mean he is great at Astronomy (the study of stars) or Astrology (the prediction of things via stars), cause being good at Astronomy won't help you predict wind. and Astrology is kinda made up fairy tale that doesn't work either.

Meh, there's been no news about this mod for over a year, don't expect it to ever come out, sadly. Look a the posting dates.
