TAM Scenarios

[Ankenaton]

Dionysius, can you clean up that map, as I outlined in the two tutorials in my signature? I can do it myself, of course, but right now I'm quite busy writing up my MA thesis.

Good Luck on your thesis; I know what a drag writing it up can be. AND THEN THERE IS THE DEFENSE OF SAID THESIS.

Luckily, we don't have this practice of defending your thesis in the UK unless it's a PhD... but that'll come over the next few years.

was on a brief but dull holiday for the last 2 days.
any other maps that need doing?

How about a pure Mesopotamia map. The 4 corners would be (modern location):

- Ankara (Turkey)
- Sinai (Egypt)
- Meshned (Iran)
- UAE (UAE)

That would include the following civs:

- Hitties
- Phoenicians
- Babylonians
- Medes
- Persians

I think small or normal would be a good map size. We could also create new civs (such as Assyria, Elam) for this map.

Yes. I got the name from a German map. Same city.

Why do the Brits and Yanks always copy the "negative" things!

Bored with the Thesis? You're a work horse extraordinaire!

P.S. I also thought the Rise of Rome scenario was too simplified and dumbed down. There was room for all kinds of errors that still allowed for victory. I do love the vassal feature and the warlord unit capabilities. Ramses the II is also great as portrayed in Civ 4:Warlords.

P.P.S. I'd like to see a scenario concerning the Rise of the Kingdom of Judea, starting around 2000 BC (no one has an accurate timeline I don't think, and the whole "rise of Judea" is still debated as to an invasion vs. a home grown uprising).

In this scenario, you could play as either of the native tribes or as leader of the Hebrew tribes.

I also would like to see a redone TAM version of Rise of Rome.

I second all of that! The TAM crew should give the people who created the 'Rise of Rome' scenario some lessons on making an addictive scenario
I love the new tweaks done with Warlords (the gold/beakers showing decimals, seeing combat odds w/o having to be at war with said civ, and vassals), but I still find myself playing TAM mod instead. Hands down the best Mod I've played.

Onto scenario's I'd like, I'd love to see a 'rise of judea' as well. I've always been kinda disappointed that Civ has never had a Judea/Israel civ, and the TAM group could definitely make a scenario featuring it VERY fun. All the other suggestions in this thread I'd like as well, but this one would be my dream scenario.

I have an incomplete map of the area if anyone wants it, but it's probably too small for Rise of Judea. Something like 30x60 running from a little north of Tyre, to Damascus (if it was farther south), to a few tiles south of the Dead Sea.

Nice one, are you going to put resources and forests, too?

[Seidrik_The_Gray]

yep, soon. was feeling lazy didnt have time before.

Forgive my ignorance...I too, have been too lazy/no time/too busy conquering the world with Carthage...to have downloaded your map yet. Does it incorporate sporaddic hills and oasis in that vast desert on the Arabian Penninsula?

For a rise of Judea scenario...I'd need a map that was probably Normal size-ish, but represented a zoomed in version of the western half of your map. Pleeeeeaaase

TAM Canaan would fit in nicely. I'd say Eastern extent of Sinai, up to SE extent of Anatolia, to edge of Euphrates valley, something like 60% of what your map shows now, Dionysius.

I'd have a moderately sized force of Javelineers and Speermen (Where is the Bronze Age Swordsman???) and a settler maybe (representing the exodus of Hebrews from Egypt) at the Southern extent of the land of Canaan.

I would need what 13 tribal cities? Each with a small force defending them.

I will need to do some serious research, but I'm pretty sure that powers outside the land of Canaan stayed out of the alleged conquest (one reason why some doubt it was a conquest at all).

Now that I think about it, would it be better to make a scenario (same map) concerning the rise of King Solomon?

Dionysius, sorry to trouble you again, but could you make a vanilla version of the near east map? I am going to need it for my upcoming project (which will include Fall of Assyria scenario).
