Thanks for the scenario! Overall worked out pretty well. Here are some commments.
I played Britain, France, Austria, and Turkey so far. Managed to win with each of them. Looks balanced so far.
Shouldn't the capital of Turkey be named Istanbul rather than Constantinople?
The barbarian/rebels/agitators are more of a drag than anything. They should be localized in areas of different ethnic backgrounds than the ruling capital (i.e. Ireland for the Brits, Arab lands for Turkey, etc...) They don't really add that much to the scenario unless they make sense in a geopolitical way.
The AI is totally incoherent when it comes to strategy and combat tactics. I've seen rebels down to almost no life points pillaging major resources near a garrisoned city, and the garrison does not step out to finish off the pesky rebel. I had to send my own Turkish troops into Austria to help police the land and defend key resources! As Autria, it's so easy to knock out Serbia early on, yet the Austrian AI never manages to accomplish that feat ever. Instead, we have Serbian cavalry rampaging Austria nearly unopposed. I watched major enemy troop movement that could have handed me my bottom end only to see tham scatter or just disappear from the map entirely. I keep watching huge beach-landing invasions from the Brits, the French, and the US, trying to capture and hold on to Bremen. They'd be better used on the western front. That's pathetic but I doubt there's much one can do about it.
It would be nice if the scenario were updated to work with Warlords. Any chance of that happening?
Trenches and fortifications are missing. Why, why, why? They're a hallmark of WWI combat. It would be nice if infantry could actually dig trenches and build fortifications rather than using workers who would be more useful around cities and to build rail lines. Instead of or in addition to rebels perhaps there should be a chance for some troops in the front lines to mutiny (French infantry in the trenches, Russian ships, like the Potemkin).
Diplomacy doesn't seem to work. I've had a number of neutrals on a good or friendly status with me, but who would still not trade goods with me or declare war on my suggestion. I would have expected more political shenanigans in a WWI scenario.
As the French, I once had the Germans accept a 10 year peace deal along with two of their remaining three cities -- only to see the Germans declare war all over again on the very next turn... that's just plain goofy!
There are little hiccups here and there, but overall I had fun with the scenario, obviously.
