Gustav III

My scenario Gustav III has been up on the CSC for quite a while now. And I would like to now what you thought about it!

Play Sweden... as a Norwegian, I should object heavily to this scenario going on about "Swedes, what do they know blah blah blah they have never done any good blah blah blah it's a wonder they managed as well as they did blah blah blah blah" but I'll put that aside and play it anyway

Congratulations, Rhenskold (or should I say Jonas?). It has been a while now, but I downloaded it as soon as I could to see what differences there were from the version you sent me. I haven`t played it a huge amount yet, but I do like the new Jargiers graphic. I`m sure there`s more, so I`ll continue and see how it goes.

Yes there are some more changes Paul. I really like this Jagier units with the stats it has now. A warrior of the future really.

Coug. Im glad you will play it. BTW why does it exists so few scenarios based on the norweigan history? I dont think Ive ever heard of such a scenario!

Coug · December 12, 1999, 11:06

Because our history mainly involves

a) Being barbarians (Vikings)
b) Being under Danish rule
c) Being under Swedish rule
d) Being under German rule
e) Being hit by nasty plagues
and finally
f) Being independent

A-E is very depressing, especially since A is only partially true. We were great seafarers, explorers, traders etc etc, but 99% of the world still thinks we were barbarians.

F is only a very little part of our history, ie the last 95 years, out of which 5 were spent in the D category...

So, there you go then, not much stuff...

Cheer up Coug. Latvian history features:

-Being Barbarians
-Being owned by Lithua
-Being owned by Livonian Knights
-Being owned by Teutonic Knights
-Being owned by Poland
-Being owned by Russia
-Being owned by Germany
-Being independent twice:-)

Oh, ok. Well, go to the Greek Civ site (MarkG's site) and download Sor Helgeland. It's set in Norway...

Coug · December 14, 1999, 09:26

Some notes:

- Small map.
- Strange "no movements allowed" terrain/unit

That's it basically... Other than that, a good scenario

Rhenskold · December 15, 1999, 14:22

No its true that the Norweigan history isnt as glorious as our swedish one! But I think it could be good for a scenario about the conquest of the british islands in the age of Vikings. Or maybe...well I cant think of anything else...

St. Leo. Im quite sure Sweden owned Latvia for a while!

I hope people have tried Jonas' Great Northern War as well. That has a larger scope which includes Demark/Norway (albeit at an earlier date)/

Coug · December 18, 1999, 01:05

Some more thoughts:

Why not extend the scenario to include ALL of Sweden and Denmark/Norway? It would make for a much more interesting game.

I love that 'move' sound being a cut-off version of the 'barracks' sound. Great idea.
