Before I continue with my scenarios about Uzbekistan and the Franco-Prussian War, I need someone to betatest my Darius the Great scenario.
You should:
a) be patient. I use methods that may seem strange to you. Sometimes I get new ideas that I would like to include, and I then might ask you to play through the whole thing again.
b) have a basic knowledge and interest in ancient history. Knowledge isn't as important, but interest is. If you're not interested in ancient history, especially Persian history, You will soon grow tired of endless pop-ups and notes.
c) like, or better said, love quotations. The whole thing is virtually filled with quotes, to keep some sort of fun and motivation in the scenario.
d) be honest. If there is something that you dislike about the scenario, say so. Please. But please make your criticism constructive.
e) also be a patient player. At the beginning there is a lot to care about.
f) be curious. A lot of Persian, Median and Greek terms appear in the scenario, which don't make any sense at all unless you try to find out what they mean. For now, mail and ask me, because the Readme will be written afterwards.
g) be helpful. Give suggestions of your own and ideas to improve the scenario.
Edit:
h) be tolerant. This scenario follows a very anti-Greek policy, for which I apologize. After reading numerous books and reports that are very Greek-biased, I, for my part, thought that it was time for a Persian perspective. I hope that this doesen't show too much in the scenario (it isn't meant to show political opinions), but it provides a bit of the scenario's flavour.
That's it. I hope that I'm not asking for too much.
