The Spanish Civil War - Civ2 Complete Scenario

Pablostuka · June 12, 2003, 13:33

Here's the result of the work of me and my partners in the lasts months: one scenario for Civilization II Multiplayer Gold Edition about the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939).

It's not a typical scenario, because it has 3 modes of play: 2 for single player (Republican or Nationalists) and Multiplayer game. This is like 3 games in 1.

The Science developement is replaced with Gold, to pay for foreign reinforcements and supplies (Italian and German aid for the Nationalists, and Soviet aid for the Republicans)

A lot of new units specially made or modified for this scenario. The author credits is in the Guide.

The graphical style is the called "Nemo-esque". Terrain, city and other graphics are from Captain Nemo, or some authors who have been modified it. improvements icons by Curtsibling, and the excellent large map is from Kramsib.

The laguage: English (But I will translate it into Spanish when I have time).

In the Guide you can find all the information, strategies and hints, and a short description of each side.

I won't write more details

I invite you to play it, and I hope you like it

And I want to thank my playtesters, who have spent a lot of time making this scenario better and better: jasev, yaroslav, Amilca, El Léón, Academia, El Awrence, HsFB, belisariu y Kramsib.

HERE are the scenario files:

I look forward to playing it as I did an essay and presentation last year on the Spanish Civil War. Tell, are the Portuguese playable in multiplayer?

Dr. Nick · June 12, 2003, 14:22

Can I start a PBEM game?

yaroslav · June 12, 2003, 17:03

The two playable and tested side are Nationalist (Franco) and Republicans (Azaña)

Pablostuka · June 12, 2003, 20:08

Yes, there are only 2 playable civs, as yaroslav said

At this moment, you only can play the Multiplayer version. PBEMs for 2 players, or a demogame like Red Front. But I'm working in the single player versions, and the HTML guide will be done soon

techumseh · June 13, 2003, 01:37

This looks very good.

But where's the Readme?

Pablostuka · June 13, 2003, 16:59

There is no readme yet, as we are making the HTML guide...

The basic hints: Try to have a high science rate (gold), as reinforcements will arrive.

The Nationalist main objective is to capture Madrid and get safe the Africa Army to the Peninsula, as they are the strongest foot units. But also is very important to capture the North of Spain, specially the city of Bilbao. Other important objectives are Barcelona, Valencia, Cartagena and Málaga.

The Republican main objectives are Burgos, Sevilla, Zaragoza, Pamplona, and all the North of Africa.

I highly recommend to read something about the Spanish Civil War, as this is a very historical scenario.

At last!!!

Downloading ASAP!

Congratulations, on getting this epic completed, My friend!!!

Pablostuka · June 13, 2003, 18:32

Thanks, Curt!

. It has been a very hard work. Thanks for your help, my friend

I'll be very happy if you test it

yop73 · June 14, 2003, 09:53

Aren't those bask units a bit too strong????

Pablostuka · June 14, 2003, 12:28

They have the same stats as the Falangists or Carlists, the other strong militias

yaroslav · June 14, 2003, 17:36

If I recall it correctly, my own record, playing as a Republican, was to conquest all Spain around December 1937

Pablostuka · June 14, 2003, 19:08

Well done, yaros

. But remember that playing the Multiplayer version against the AI it's very very easy

. The fun begins playing against another human player

Shaka Naldur · June 14, 2003, 19:38

that what I'm doing now,
the problem against the ai is that the units are quite expensive
in the sp version you should make the ai's unit cheaper

Pablostuka · June 15, 2003, 08:11

The Motorised infantry, armored cars and artillery are expensive due to the lack of a war Industry in Spain

techumseh · June 15, 2003, 12:14

This seems to be an excellent scenario! I recommend it. It's a welcome relief from all those WWII/postWWII scenarios out there.

Pablostuka · June 15, 2003, 15:14

Thank you very much

techumseh · June 15, 2003, 19:22

May I make a couple of suggestions?

Give the units with a 'no' prerequisite some unresearchable tech instead. That way they'll appear in the civilopedia.

I see there is still a bit of events space left. As this is a relatively little known conflict, some pop-up text at the start of the scenario that gives a little historical background would be helpful. Let each player know a bit about what they're fighting for and against.

This is an impressive scenario. Is it your first one?

Pablostuka · June 15, 2003, 20:20

Thanks for the comments, techumseh

It's a good idea. I'll do it in the next update

The event space remaining is for the Single Player versions

I kept an empty space for it.

It's my first one to be released, and the first "serious" made by myself. I made 2 little scenarios a few years ago, but I didn't posted them in the forums, due to its bad quality.

But I'm very proud of THIS scenario

. And now, apart of the single player versions, I'm working in a new scenario project

Pablostuka · June 15, 2003, 20:23

But don't worry about the lack of info and pop-ups. In the ReadMu - HTML Guide I'll explain what you have to know

ZarD · June 17, 2003, 20:07

First 'version' of the guide (not complete) is out! :P

Pablostuka and I spent a little time doing it. Tell us what you think about what we have thus far.

In the left there are 4 links to the 4 sections of the guide (historical background, playing the scenario, the sides, and credits)

The main window is for the info to display

Pablostuka · June 26, 2003, 13:01

I have finished the Nationalist Single Player Version.

Replace the EventsN.txt with the one attached here, and reload the batch file. Now the AI is very agressive, and the game is more difficult to win.

tanelorn · June 28, 2003, 20:31

Pablostuka · July 1, 2003, 16:56

tanelorn!! I'm happy to see you here. Thank you very much for all you have done for this scenario. These units are one of the most important parts of the scenario

Pablostuka · July 1, 2003, 17:24

IMPORTANT NOTE: I have fixed one bug in the EventsN.txt file. Please update it again, and sorry

Pablostuka · August 19, 2003, 14:14

At Last!

Today, I proudly announce that I've finished the Spanish Civil War scenario

Now you ca play against the AI with the Republican side. And some changes regarding unit stats in the Rules.txt.

Ok, download the 'final_update.zip' and replace the files in your scenario folder. Who hasn't downloaded the scenario yet, you can find it here, or in the first post of this thread (if the poly server works

)

Pablostuka · August 19, 2003, 14:19

Oh, I forgot to post here the HTML Guide

Enjoy!

Pablostuka · August 19, 2003, 16:18

Please download this last hour update (it contains all the events files and the rules). It fixes the performance of the Admiral Scheer battlecruiser and the bombing of Guernika...I hope it's the last update

EDIT: Fixed the bug that chashed the game. Thanks to belisariu for the report
