The World 2003 Scenario team is proud to present a new release of the most realistic simulation of modern world.

It is now 1st of May, 2003, 8 o'clock in the morning. As you come to your office your advisor approaches you. What decisions will you make today? The world political situation is volatile and you face great challenges as you lead your nation. The military operation in Iraq has finished and victorious Coalition forces have occupied the country. Terrorist attacks increase and situation on Korean peninsula is still unclear.

Version 19 highlights

This version features a new revolutionary and never seen before feature - weapons manufacture licences. Weapons manufacture licence contracts allow you to sell licences for your indigenous weapons and purchase licences from other countries. A country that signed a licence purchase contract for a specific weapon (e.g. F-16 or BTR-80) can produce that weapon as long as the contract lasts, usually minimum 20 weeks.

Other World 2003 Scenario version 19 features:

- Accurate U.S. Air Force, Army and Marines unit numbers and bases.
- Accurate UK Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines unit numbers and bases.
- Realistic representation of coalition troops deployment in South West Asia (CENTCOM).
- Up to date simulation of political situation in Middle East region, including Syria, Jordan, and occupied Iraq.
- New natural resources (including gas, rice and narcotics) open new possibilities for growth and trade.
- Fourteen new weapons including MiG-29 (Fulcrum), Type 42 Destroyer, M1A1 U.S. MBT, BMP-3, Patria AMV 8x8, and more. Morevoer, there are new graphics for existing systems: Leopard 2, B-52 Stratofortress, T-55, Commando.
- Two new near-future systems: Sukhoi S-37 and F-22. You need to complete their respective projects in order to manufacture those systems.
- Real life Civilopedia pictures for selected units, and diplomacy leader heads.
- If you thought that installation was very easy, the process just got even easier! The installation process is now more automated and you can now install the scenario just by clicking "Next" buttons...

Version 19 consists of five (5) required packages: Scenario and four (4) Expansion Packs. All five packages are required for this scenario to work properly.
You can download the packages from here, total download size is approximately 16MB. For your convenience, saved games will be provided at the same location.

Should you have any comments or require technical support, do not hesitate to contact us at our public forum (located at http://world2003-forum.tk). We will only be able to answer your queries at our public forum. You can purchase the soundtrack for this scenario, the Special Forces CD.

This release was brought to you by the World 2003 Scenario team:

Christopher Sharp - production, organisation founder
Maciek Plewa - distribution, production, programming
Jason Grigsby - logistics, quality assurance and knowledge management

The complete credits list is in the World 2003 Scenario readme file.

Your military spending figures posted above are off by quite some way.

Other than that it's a nice scenario.

Hello everybody over here!!! I like to play this scanerio, but when I'm loading the saved games (USA, UK and Russia) a message appears : "File missing: ICBM bomb.wav, the game will now exit". Well, I want to know how I can fix this trouble. Thanks

sabrewolf · June 5, 2003, 05:50

go to your civ-folder
the ./art/units/ICBM/
and edit icbm.ini
beneath [sound effects]
and change the entry at 'death=ICBMBomb' to 'death='

OR: copy a similar sounding wav-file into the folder and rename it to 'ICBM Bomb.wav'

sabrewolf · June 6, 2003, 18:12

nice idea and some nice games. but for whoever doesn't have time for this:
you can download

LGeneral (GPL licence) at
http://ftp1.sourceforge.net/lgames/l...-1.1-win32.exe
http://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/Soft.../LGeneral.html
(1.4 MB only!)

and

Steel Panthers - World at War I (shareware) at
http://www.fprado.com/armorsite/sp_waw.htm
http://www.matrixgames.com/games/Wor...r/features.asp

however, return to castle wolfenstein is definetly a great FPS with a good (but wierd) story behind it.
and if you enjoy steel panthers, you won't want the shareware version....
so participate at this challenge

Dedin · June 8, 2003, 11:53

Hey,

Would be nice. My pc isnt the fastest atm ;(

maciek · June 12, 2003, 08:43

We should persuade SSI to release the artwork used in Panzer General to public domain... Petition, anyone?

maciek · June 12, 2003, 08:49

I'll see what I can do. By the way, please post on the World 2003 forum as I don't have much time to visit this thread often.

Libertine · June 18, 2003, 13:59

This will feauture new units, updated armed forces for some country's, and much more.

maciek · June 20, 2003, 07:32

There will more than 30 new units. If you have any suggestions, please let us know - forum

Why is Poland a part of Germany? I'd rather like to see it as a part of Russia.

I wouldn't see Poland either with Germany or Russia. Putting it together with other central eurpean democratic countries: Czech Rep. Slovakia, Hungary, Baltic States would be better.

maciek · June 24, 2003, 03:49

Czesc burak

Unfortunately, there was not enough space to include Czech Rep., Hungary, etc. My reasoning was that since Poland is a NATO member and will join EU next year, it is more reasonable to join it with Germany, rather than Eastern Europe civ (Ukraine, Yugoslavia, etc.). Hopefully the new Civ Conquests expansion pack will give us some more Civ slots (at least 64), then Poland would become a separate civ.

Admiral PJ · July 26, 2003, 17:37

The UK currently has ordered 2 new Aircraft carriers, but the French owned manufacturer has had to reduce the technical specs and capabilites of the Ships, for the 1 or 2 billion pounds available(I don't think it would be that much).
Names anyone?

Maybe the Cherie and Tony(after the prime ministers wife and himself).

In another 3 or 4 years the Eurofighter might be in production.. it ought to be coming anyone month now.

LOOK OUT FOR MY TOTAL HISTORY SIMULATION CIV Expansion Civ Pack, just going through final beta testing.
