How to make a Scenario more interesting....

[Hendrik the Great]

...if the events files are all full?

That is my problem, I cannot putt more events into the events file, but I want to make exploring and expansion more interesting, profitable and attractiv, and also the ai tougher to beat and more "intelligent".

How can I achieve this? Without even more events? If you have event ideas please tell me anyways, perhaps I can implement them somehow still.

This dealing with a scenario about wiking expansion into the west, with the Norwegians and Danes.

How would you make things more interesting?

Thanks in advance.

Use more than one events file?

[Hendrik the Great]

I am already using multipile event files and changing them every 5 turns or so doesn't seem to be very good for playing if one has to continuesly change them back and forth.

That's why I am asking...

One way to save on space is to cut back on event descriptions. Writing text provides the bulk of the size of a scenario's event files. This probably wouldn't work for you, but my modern scenarios usually have event texts written as newspaper headlines. An example, from my "Cuba 2" scenario:

(Miami Herald, January 5, 2008)
MISSILE DEADLINE PASSES
War Imminent, Clinton Says

if the scenario is just playable for one civ make everybody´s else special untis cheaper and with a higher movement rate, don´t make them stronger

did it help you???

[Hendrik the Great]

Well, a bit, but since 4 of the civs are more less playable....still, more fun in America.

Too bad, all my texts are already cut as short as possible, just like yours. Oh well...

Test of Time?

[Hendrik the Great]

That idea comes a bit late. I mean, I am already in the middle of playtesting and wanted to release the scenario by the end of May.

However, my next one might be for ToT.

[Stefan Härtel]

Why don't you include some natural units like "High sea" in the ocean, similar as in the SDC3 Odyssey scenario, and so forth.

[Hendrik the Great]

You mean like Wahles, or event generateed storms or Polar Bears on land? Done that already. Well, thanks for all your help, but I found a solution.
