@Lord-Bevan When I am fixing other people's scenarios, I take a minimalist approach and don't generally fix the actual map. I just adjust the xml and add in missing images. Feel free to create your own version of the scenario

Scenario Apocalypse 2012
Description World War in 2012 on a large map
Download Download

Good Points

• Interesting hypothetical situation
• New unit types to reflect modern warfare
• Force strengths and economic values based upon reality

Bad Points

• No victory conditions
• Slow, even with fast AI due to large number of units
• Neutrals are impassable even though they have been assigned forces. This blocks NATO and Russia from fighting.

I will make a fix on this scenario.

Scenario Ultimate Pants WW2v3
Description World War 2 on a large map with many nations
Download Repository/Experimental/Ultimate World Variants

Good Points

• Many nations create many options

Bad Points

• A lot of nations and units to keep track of.

The AI should be set to Fast, to avoid slow AI turns.

@Lord-Bevan I have posted Great War-Ultimate at www.rogercooper.com/GreatWar-Ultimate.zip

@Schulz The old attachment misspelling for the Great War. I will post the fix this weekend.

Scenario Blood & Iron
Description World War II on a medium-size map
Download Download

Good Points

• A different map
• Altered unit values make defense easier

Bad Points

• None

Scenario mewww-alliances (Middle East World War)
Description A small map game of conflict in the Middle East
Download Download

Good Points

• Somebody's first effort at creating a map, so let's give the guy a break

Bad Points

• Poorly-drawn map
• Odd unit placements
• Too many nations in too small an area
• The original scenario was FFA, so blame me for the alliances

@Lord-Bevan My problem with the Great War map is West Front insert. This has the effect of making the shortest route between France & Germany going by way of Italy & Austria, making for odd-looking game-play.

I have taken the Correlates of War database from Correlates of War Project, interpolated missing data and added % of world for 6 different military/economic factors: Military Expenditures, Military Personnel, Iron/Steel Production, Personal Energy Consumption, Urban Population, Total Population covering the period 1816-2012.

This should be useful in creating scenarios. The data has flaws, but it is the only comprehensive database of military power. The values reflect the territory controlled by the government at that time. Note that the names used reflect continuity but are often anachronistic. The Soviet Union is always called Russia, Prussia is always called Germany.

For comparison, economic data is available under the The Maddison Database.

The file is too large to post here. See Wiki Page

@Cernel It may be worthwhile to update the scenario once the new properties are documented. On the other hand, the OOB version of AA14 is not a good game. Something along the lines of Larry Harris rules need to be implemented.

To really make WW1 games work you need the ability to have a separate non-combat move speed (and be supported by the AI).
