Scenario: Second Congo War (1998 to 2003)

[Takhisis]

The 'fun' scenarios are Escape from Zombie Island and other 'comedy' scens. Plotinus' Rood and Dragon, for example... doesn't it mean the genocide of the British Celts at the hands of Anglo-Saxon and later Scanidnavian peoples?
Note: no attack on plotinus intended.

The Kivus, DR Congo. I decided to make the resources easier to spot. The jungle had a tendency to obscure them. You can see the Hutu militant factions in the north.​

 

[Takhisis]

Looks very good.

 

[Cimbri]

My computer is up and running again!

Are people still interested in this?

 

[Goldflash]

I am, much so.

 

[Antiochus VII]

I am as well. If I'm lucky I can even squeeze some time away from work to play Civ3 soon.

 

[Cimbri]

Aigh't. I'll look into it.

I wish I had an African-ish mortar, for ingame artillery, but the RPG will have to do.

 

[Virote_Considon]

I'm also still looking forward to it!

I was wondering what happened to this project recently, actually!

 

[Takhisis]

What do we need besides continued moral support?

 

[Cimbri]

Bathyskaff just posted a bunch of very useful flags for this scenario. Angola, UNITA, Rwanda, DR Congo, Chad, Interahamwe!


I'll get straight to work. Ya'll needn't do anything, dudes.

 

[Takhisis]

One thing: I've been rereading the Op and it looks as if your units are a bit too weak. Yu can tinker with them and see if new levels of game balance might be found

 

[Cimbri]

Any ideas?

 

[Takhisis]

Well you could have more units to start with, so you can work out the differences between each faction's firepower, mobility, etc.

 

[Cimbri]

Send me ideas if you have any.

Most of the 2nd DRC War was fought by irregular troops. The drilled infantry was mostly used to guard mines and other resources. Neither DRC nor her allies nor their enemies seemed particularly bent on wasting their standing armies in the fighting. There were exceptions of course.

 

[CELTICEMPIRE]

this looks good, even though it is a war I know little about.

 

[Mopean]

A quite interesting mod. I don't know much about African History or Geography, so this came as a very enlightening read. Either way I applaud you for making a scenario about a time in history I not only never heard about but apparently many have not. Definitely will play this when its ready.

 

[RHKINC]

This is awesome!

Glad to see your working on this again. I'm certainly looking forward to it.
