What's your favorite scenario and why?

Chris 62 · January 18, 2001, 07:15

Continuing my pointless and nosey surveys with what's your favorite scenario and why? Mine is Anciet empires #2 "Seeds of greatness-The early empires" by paul(KULL) cullivan. This great scenario has lots of new units, tech, and an excellent map of the near east and greece. It is also very instructional, as I used to show the interrelationships of the ancients to one another and also why most people never heard of the Hitties! So let me know your favs and why!

I enjoy scenarios, but there are so many to chose from. Kull's scenarios are excellent. The American Civil War by Alex the Great & Capt. Nemo is a winner. Sometimes, though, I just wanna ditch the fancy stuff and wade into a scenario like the Long "19th Century" or Mattias Pitz' "Imperialism 1884," or "1650" by Markus Eklund. These are old, but good scens.

My personal fav is still Red Front.

Wiglaf · January 18, 2001, 18:02

Has anyone done a civil war scenario (gore vs bush)?

Smokey tha nuke man · January 18, 2001, 20:35

in the fantastic worlds scenario pack, i like the one where your a bunch of amebas that evolve. i love it when the computer contacts you and demands "sex" (the philosophy equivalant)

Andemagne · January 18, 2001, 21:10

my personal favorites are
"30 Year War" & "Great Northern War"

"Victrix Fortunae Virtus"

I like 'East Wind, Rain' - I can't remember where I got it from, probably the scenario pack for CivII. It's a WWII Pacific scenario.

I like it because it's a good challenge for me to play any of 4 civs in the scenario, which keeps me coming back to it. And it's probably the only Civ situation where I actually NEED to use Aircraft Carriers, and I NEED to use Marines for amphibious assaults. In standard Civ I never seem to build either. So, the variety is fun.

Hands down it is Red Front by Captain Nemo. It is just the most amaizing thing out there, a masterpeice truly. If anyone hasn't played go do so NOW!

popcornvendor · January 21, 2001, 22:18

i like the east wind rain one! i like being chinese, they got like 80 riflemen, its fun to send em all at the same time against an opponent.

Enjoy the war while you can, the peace will be terrible

Red Front can be found at: http://www.chat.ru/~kabalero/
And I agree about it being a great scenario.
Another favourite of mine is Hellas by John Ellis.
I like Collonies II and III too.

I tried to download all parts, but only Part I was available. Do I need part 2 and the sounds? Thx.

klesh · January 26, 2001, 15:30

Yeah, you'll definately need all of the downloads, Parts I,II and Sounds I,II,III.

I have all of the original .zip files if you need them. Email is in the profile.

Beware, Red Front is one tough cookie. Look in the Scenario League's forum for threads with hints on this one. You'll need them.

The Art of War site (see link at bottom of page) has
some good strategys for Red Front.

BeBro · January 26, 2001, 17:49

Most enjoyed last year:

Of Celts and Iberians by J.Balsinde (I love ancient scns)

Riverwar by A.Höfelt (great race against the clock)

Fading Lights by M.Czyz (very hard, Red Front in the Middle Ages)

And I admired Nemo´s work with Red Front and Second Front, but since I´m not a good player, they were rather frustrating for me without advice...

Geography Dan · January 26, 2001, 18:10

I haven't heard of that Fading Lights one. Where can I get it? (is it in english?)

BeBro · January 26, 2001, 18:26

Yes, its in English. Its on my site (signature), in the MustPlay area, and on the Spanish Civsite by J.Balsinde (if my crosswinds site seems is temporarily down)

Alba de America is a masterpiece. I have played it several times but still enjoy it just like the first time.

When and where will we see Imperium Romanun? If it's half as good as it looks, It could end up being number one here!

Vitmore The Great · January 26, 2001, 19:24

At the moment, my favourite scenarios are "The Second World War" by B. Stein, which is a world scenario (most realistic and historically accurate IMHO) and "Total War" by David Ledgard, which is a upgraded and more realistic (IMHO) WW79 scenario. The are even Pro-Soviet and Pro-Western civs, which add a little real world flavour to the scenario.

ALRIGHT!!!!!!!

Farmboy · January 27, 2001, 00:17

My favorite scenario has to be the 1939 one. I'm not sure who it is by, but this one keeps me coming back every time. The best thing is to play it on hotseat and fight all of your friends as the different nations, fun stuff.
