Scenario building help

[jotto]

I'm trying to create a modern-world-anno-2001 scenario. I'm using a pre-made world map, and I'm adding cities and units.

A few questions:

- Is it possible to set the year to 2001 without clicking the move number button in the scenario editor a zillion of times?
- Is it possible to set all civilizations to a specified age?
- Is it possible to prevent the civilizations from entering the genetic age? I want them to stay in the modern world
- How can I create alliances, peace treaties, set friendlyness, etc among the civilizations?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, you have to create a turn name txt file. I'm not sure how but some of the scenarios have it.

Yes, you just give them whatever technology grants the next age. Again, I'm not sure what technologies they are, but you can place a few cities and see what makes 'em change.

I have no idea.

To start at a different time period, you need to create a file called turnlength.txt. This is placed in the main scenario file with savegame.c2g. The format for the file is basically this:

1,Jan 2001
2,Feb 2001
3,Mar 2001

and so on. You need to do this for as long as you need the scenario to last. It's boring and tedious, I know, but it makes for better scenarios.
