I think Matt means what scenarios do you want to play (i.e. Battle of the Bulge, the Trojan War, Gettysburg)

Thanks for that thought, I didn't know that is what he was talking about. If you are right, then I would like to see some historical scenarios, heres a minor list of ones I would like to see:

1. World War 2 (which would be the entire war, beginning with the dispansion of the treaty of versaille, up to the surrender of Japan to the USA abord the USS Missouri)

2. battle of the bulge.

3. normandy landing. (D-Day invasion)

4. World war 1, from beginning to end.

5. american revolution.

6. civil war.

7. 100 years war.

8. scottish wars of independence.

9. the final crusade. (Richard the Lionheart)

10. william the conquorer and the normans.

11. fall of the roman empire.

12. rise of the roman empire. (or you could just combine both, and call it, the Roman empire)

13. the rise and fall of greece.

14. the native americans.

15. the nephites and lamanites. (this one is NOT fictional)

16. the seven years war. (french and indian war)

well, thats about all the historical scenarios. heres a very minor list of the others I want to see:

1. World War III: the fall of America.

2. a nation is reborn: the story of america after world war III.

note to the last 2: I could personally create these two, just in case you can't.

those are the only two I could think of that I would like to see (that are fictional).

Your list looks good. I just hope Firaxis doesn't make most of these.

I think the way Civ II had a couple of scenarios was good, the rest can be made by the obsessed Civ-gamers.

very good ideas, indeed!! I like them!!(especially the fictional, nothing personally, americans )

I would like:

*The unification of Norway (I don't think Firaxis will do that, but I mention it anyway )
*The Russian revolution(s) (all of them, as far as I know it was actually THREE of them, witch the last one was the communistic)
*The colonization of Africa
*Ghengis Kahn's conquest of Asia

Fictional:

*Fall of Atlantis
*World War IV: Nuclear Winter(since Diablo used #3, I had to use #4 ) The story line: After the fall of USA, the world is a dangerous place to live. Terrorists and nations of the third world all wants to fill the gap of the super power. the followers of Osmin bin Laden and Saddam Hussein collaborates and starts a war against the Western world. With nuclear missiles.......
*After World War IV: The build up of a new life

There could also be the Spanish conquest of the Natives (meant to be played as the Aztecs, Incas, etc?), and why have I never seen a Viet Nam computer game?

1)Napoleonic Wars(napoleon's rise, fall & 2nd try)

2)German unification

3)the rise & fall of Ottoman Empire

4)Italian unification

5)Unification of two Egypts in ancient times

6)Pre-WW I Balkan conflicts

7)The era of Elizabeth I

8)Colonization of America(conflicts not only w/ indians but w/ other european powers

9)Crimea War

10)Cold War

11)The People of the Sea(not a fictional)
in war w/ New Kingdom of ancient Egypt at its decline

12)Peter the Great's westernization program of Russia
Now here r some fictional scenarios

1)if the Cold War turned into a hot 1

2)if Germany won WW II & remaining opponents resist german power

3)war between China & America in our time

4)Alien Invasion

5)Return of the Soviet Union

6)American-Canadian War(not so much the South Park way, ok maybe the South Park way...Blame Canada...)

Sorry if i made any of u canadians angry

1. The Great War: The American Front (2nd civil war) Twice in the past fifty years, the Confederacy has humiliated it's Northern neighbor. Now, in 1914, France and England are locked in battle with Germany...leaving the US free to deal with the CSA.

2. World War: In the Balance It's 1942, and the world is on fire, with Axis forces advancing on every front.
Then the Aliens invade. (I'm dead serious)

~Okay, now for historical.

1. The Texan Revolution

2.The Napoleanic(sp) wars.

3.The Vikings vs. the Skrealings

4.And, Israel vs. the Arab world.

Would the Nephite-Lamanite on be the entire BofM, or just the final battles? If I had to choose, I'd pick the former. Asking for more than one based on the BofM would be too much, so how about: the dispersion of Noah's early descendants; the Exodus, the Israelite conquest of Canaan; the Loss of the 10 tribes; the Babylonian conquest of Judah; the Roman destruction of Jerusalem; the Mormon Migration, Settlement, and Wars with the Indians and Gentiles; and Armageddon as prophesied in the Bible. Naturally, one does not have to believe all of these were fact in order to appreciate them. There could also be the Spanish conquest of the Natives (meant to be played as the Aztecs, Incas, etc?), and why have I never seen a Viet Nam computer game? Nothing in this post should be construed as hatred toward anyone, certainly not antisemitism, or feelings of superiority.

Hahaha!!! YEs, I can understand that me loving the game diablo would make me non-LDS (for those of you that arent 'mormon', that means: Ladder Day Saints) since the game 'diablo' is rather dark. But yes, I am LDS...and proud of it.

Actually, Firaxis should just spend the time to create two diverse scenarios (Rome and WW2?) that give scenario-builders an idea of how do create a custom scenario (along with great documentation).

~Ahem~, the proper term is "Alternate History".

Unification of Norway- into what? Does it take over the world?

quote: Originally posted by DarkCloud on 01-12-2001 08:30 PM Nikolai, Unification of Norway- into what? Does it take over the world? -Viking Power!

I forgot that all of you people of course didn't know that.... In the end of the "viking age", which lasted from circa 800 to 1050 AD, Norway consisted of numberless "kingdoms". But then a man called Harald 1 Haarfagre(Haarfagre is in english something like "beautiful hair)", one of the kings, began to conquer the other kingdoms to unite them under his rule in God's name(he was a Christian). He promised that he wouldn't cut his hair before he had maked this(therefore he got the name "Haarfagre).
And just as you know it; he maked it!

This would have to include civs dying out and new civs springing up.

This may be impractacle, but it seemed a good idea.

I wonder if this would work: Larger campaigns consisting of several scenarios. This way, for different stages in a historical event, the rules, civs etc. could change.

As for my ideas:-
-----------------

COLONISATION SCENARIO, preferably of Africa.. V. IMP!

Vikings

Napoleonic Wars

Arabs vs. Israel

WWII Pacific Theatre

Gengis Khan

An idea for a larger campaign?

Colonisation of India:-

Arrival of European Traders, establishing footholds
War among Brits and French
Diplomatic Takeover of Indian States
1857 Revolution
War of Independence and Partition into India and Pakistan

I could make a really good India vs. Pakistan involving China, Afghanistan scenario. I was halfway thru it in Civ2 but gave up in favour of waiting for civ3. The nukes would be the accurate models

Is that pre 4000 BC?

He's thinking of either 1600 BC (Thebes VS Hyksos) or 670 BC (Nubia VS Assyrians),
