The Classical World 250 BC.

[hr_oskar]

Looks like a great scenario - love that period. I can't download it yet (no connection on my Civ computer), but from the screenshots I can make a few comments on the city names: in China, "Xian" is the modern name for what was then "Chang'an"; "Louyang" should be "Luoyang"; in the Mediterranean, I think "Lilabyum" should be "Lilybaeum".

I wonder, does the scenario have a different era system - i.e. does it just go Ancient to Modern, or is there something different?

 

[Yoda Power]

thanks for your suggestions. hr_oskar no the eras has not been changed, and they wont be. I have done this one time in my MEM mod and that was a nightmare.

This is one of the best scenario's I've played, but everytime the Mauryans are an age or two advanced. Caravels don't do to well against ironclads.

This could be because the Axumites and the Sahels, who I usually play, aren't as advanced.

That leads me onto a question, how do you make it so that you can edit city improvements/techs/etc. so you can make gaps, when you use the editor? Hopefully you can understand what I'm talking about.. it's kind of hard to explain. Well if you know how tell me. Thanks

Yoda, how far into implementing our suggestions are you? I'm really anxious and I want to play it with all the new stuff first.

You should add the Celts and several cities of theirs which are included in the Civ2 Classical scenario.

Because there is a 28 year different between the campaigns, I am not entirely historically accurate, these cities should still be under Celtic control though:

La Tene (X:34, Y:72) [Capital, size 5]
Milan (X:38, Y:76) [Size 5]
Numantia (X:26, Y:88) [Size 4]
Braunsberg (X:54, Y:72) [Size 6]

You should either add this to the Celts or the Greek States:

Masilla (X:34, Y:82) [Size 4]

The leader of the Celts in 278 B.C.E was Emperor Vercingetorix. That could probably be the same in 250 B.C.E as well.

Well, I hope this helps you if you are going to put the Celts in this scenario.

 

[Yoda Power]

thanks Mobilize, i will begin soon to work on the scenario.

 

[Kennelly]

I thought Vercingetorix fought Caesar 250 years later?
Or did both men just have the same name?

 

[Mobilize]

Well all I know is that the Civ2 278 BCE scenario has Vercingetorix as the leader of the Celts. Who knows? The Celts were an awkward civilization from the beginning. There probably wasn't a complete ruler anyhow. They were basically a union of many chiefdoms.

 

[Kennelly]

It wasn't even a union,more many tribes sharing some common cultural things (celts lived everywhere from Ireland to Anatolia),but at least in Gaul there was some early kind of "national conscience" under the Celtic tribes.But they were an important factor in Europe and they need to be in it (otherwise Roman expansion would have gone north much earlier and quicker).

HI!
I can't understand how to instal the scenario. I extracted it in the Scenario's Folder, but when i start it, says "Not a valid Civ3 scenario file."

no, you need more patience im a very busy person, and im still working onseverel other projects, dont expect it to be finish this month. Sorry but thats just the way it is

Apparently Yekuno Amlak wasn't the current Axumite leader and Yemen and Meroe WERE part of the Axumite empire, I'm looking for the ruler of the Axumite Kingdom in 250 B.C.

 

[Yom]

hmm...also, (when you get this far, of course) Yeha should be east of Axum and you should consider adding a city called Koloe between Adulis in Axum. In Yemen, (still axum) I don't know what cities were important but Ethiopia didn't found S'anna, the current capital until 500-600 A.D., so don't use that.

 

[Yom]

Once again, another important city, Cohaito, an ancient axumite city dating from before 500 B.C. can be added somewhere south of the location of modern day Asmara (capital of Eritrea). The ancient city of Matara is somewhere around Cohaito too.

 

[Yom]

Koloe is somehwere in between Axum and Adulis, with adulis being on the sea east of Asmara, Sembel is west of Asmara.
Btw, Metera and Kohaito are right next to each other, metera being southwest of Kohaito, so you'll have to pick which one to add or whether you should at them at all, still searching for the ruler...

How do I change my description from Chieftan btw? Do I have to post more? b/c I think I've seen ppl who have posted less than me with custom descriptions.
