Scenario Big World 2: Balance of Power
Description A Big World Map scenario
Download In repository under Good Quality, Big World 2

Good Points

• Easy to understand
• Well-balanced
• China gets extra units

Bad Points

• The map was expanded, so at 100% zoom, you can see too little of the map. You can reduce the zoom, but it blurs the image a little

I would say this is a limit of the program, in general for the zoom quality. @RoiEX was working on a enhanced zoom; I really wonder if he just gave up.

[Cernel]

@RogerCooper I would say that should not be called just "Chess", or people will think it is the actual standard chess.

[RogerCooper]

@Cernel I didn't create the "Chess" scenario. However, I doubt anyone will think that it is standard Chess.

I tried this again giving the Germans a 60 PU bid with all AI, and it made for an interesting game.

Scenario Medieval Europe
Download Download
Description Conflict in Medieval Europe between 3 alliances

Good Points

• Nice map
• Good unit art

Bad Points

• No specific historical situation
• No attempt to depict the realities of Medieval warfare, the game is reskinned WW2 without aircraft

[RogerCooper]

@RogerCooper I would suggest to designers working with pre-gunpowder warfare, that they should make an effort to depict the following real characteristics of the time

• Castles and local levies. Castles could be handled as an expensive, multi-hit static unit, while levies could be cheap static units, replaced by events.
• The high cost of maintaining mobile forces. Just have them create negative PU's.
• The power of cavalry and its limitations. For example, cavalry could be handled as aircraft (with terrain effects to prevent sea movement)
