War for crown

War for crown


Story: This is unrealistic scenario in central Europe (especcialy in Bohemia) in Middle Ages. Conflicts around Bohemia dont let Bohemian voivods cold. After Bohemian king´s death they refused vote new king of Bohemia and devided to 9 independent voivodships. But its the end? Small voivodships havent chance againist raising Bavorian and Saxon cultural and military power, againist wild Magyars from the East or military fomenters from Silesia and cultural pushers in Austria. Only dominance of one voivod may elevate new Bohemian king...

I have downloaded it I report later. (speak german?)

 

[REDY]

A little (Ein bisschen).

 

[nivekclough]

downloading... this was the first scenario to get me excited enough to comment in a long time, I'll edit this post later to add a review!

 

[nivekclough]

One of the first things I noticed in the editor, was a distinct lack of luxury goods. So the advantage to West Bohemia is gone, as it has nothing to GIVE to its "rich neighbor". Although playing as Hungary interested me, I decided to play as Middle Bohemia.

Clicking on Middle Bohemia I start the game, and settle in to wait. However I was pleasantly surprised by the waiting time of about 10 seconds. Quickly glancing around at the map, I noticed a random railroad track, near a river between Leipzig and Chemnitz.

I started against West Bohemia, and moved a large portion of my military there, with the Saxons and Bovorians as my allies. Something around 20 turns later I took Pizen/Plzen (can't really see if that is a capital I or an L). At first I just threw bodies at it, but 2 point increase from normal to veteran really threw me off. However, after a little time I learned to love it.

Really, overall this is an incredably balanced scenario, although South Bohemia seems almost too powerful, even stronger than Bavoria!

So I'd say fix the railroad (or dont, its so minor I just fixed it myself), add some luxury goods to trade, and wait until you get more reviews.

Very Good Work!

Thanks for your report. I have edited some resourses and overlays. Railroads are from map of Czechoslovakia, maybe somewhere are other . I was playing also for Middle Bohemia. I took all South but after refuse demands of Hungary start war with Magyars. My 3 armies(yes I have 3 leaders now) started long journey to Hungary. But Silesian Voidoship crushed too quick and after some turns my lighty defence must defending againist many units from Saxony and Poland, They destroyed or captured some my cities

 

[nivekclough]

Wow what a game...

I was doing so well, but then the Saxons, my best friends, attacked me (mutual protection pact with Bavoria by mistake). Eventually everyone but East Bohemia and Bavoria were at war with me.

My "Western" empire (old west bohemia) was conquered. I eventually gave all my cities but Prague to Bavoria in exchange for a new mutual protection pact. I'm going to ride out the rest of the game, and try to hurt the Saxons for their betrayal, but it looks like I'm done...

BTW I highly recomend NOT playing this scenario on Diety... Seeing stacks of 20 Crusadors approaching your city is NOT a good feeling.

However I still do recommend playing this scenario, it's good fun. I think I'll try the Saxons next.

Yeah I made wild wars between all so wars with non Bohemians nations is not good idea without strong defence . Maybe in future I will add some graphics and units, but its scenario especially for fun, not for perfect

And Plzen on map is in Czech Plzeň and in German Pilsen. Famous beer Pilsner Urquel is from this city and also Škoda Auto has there one of the two factories, other is in Mladá Boleslav

Other to boost interest
Prague - I think you know
South Moravia - center of the wine production with second city in CZE
East Bohemia - center of textile production, now decreasing
West Bohemia - Now with quality roads and modern factories
South Bohemia - wealthiest region in CZE after Prague
Olomouc - in history had Archbishopric
Ostrava - boost with coal and factories especcialy in 20 century, now decreasing
Kutná hora - in far history royal city, about 30 percents production of Silver in World was there, now small city

I downloaded your scenario, and it's very interesting - I chose South Moravia. They seemed to be more of a defensive power, and so I decided to fortify all my Pikemen and build some culture. But then something weird happened!

One by one, all the other civs were 'destroyed': each turn, some civs just disappeared for no reason! Within five turns I had won, even though I had done practically nothing! This could not have been a military attack - too many civs disappeared at once. So what happened!?

Btw, it was very well set out - it was interesting to see a scenario based entirely on Central European powers!

He anyone other has this problem

 

[SaepesGenistae]

Ok Redy, there is something seriously wrong with your scenario!

I tried it again, this time with Middle Bohemia (Prague etc). After one turn, civs started to disappear!

Here is the map after just one turn :

 

[REDY]

I am on holiday now. After week I will look at.

 

[madviking]

Elimination is on...
Maybe thats the problem...

 

[REDY]

I played some turns so now I hope its ok. Download!

 

[SaepesGenistae]

Ok I downloaded the new version, but still things are going wrong!

I chose Moravian Silesia. For some reason, I had not encountered any other civs, even though the map was fully revealed. I had a scout, but what was the point - I could see the whole map!

Then I decided to get rid of the scout, so I disbanded him. Immediately, all of my cities were destroyed at once, and I "suffered an embarrassing Victory Point defeat at a play time of 1 minute"!?!?!

What is going on!?

 

[REDY]

I really dont know why?
Elimination isnt, victory point scoring is OK,conquest and domination also, I played about 25 turns...

 

[SaepesGenistae]

It may be just my PC, but I hope not since it's quite new!

Maybe we should wait to see if anyone else has this problem... if not, it's probably my computer.

Redy seš machr ,)

 

[William GBTW]

This is SO cool...I was thinking of one like this!

 

[REDY]

Lord Marlboro, William GBTW thanks you. I have many things in my mind, but this year I have leaving examination. Maybe I will make some other Czech or Middle Europe scenario related....
