A scenario about hungary!

Prehaps the Magyar invasion of Europe up until their defeat at Augsburg.

That's actually a good idea.
Something about the clash of the "eastern" and the "western" world. I mean, something about the great enemies of the christian world: Vikings, Magyars, Arabs... This would fit in your scenario line.

Hey, do you know what I'd like? A good cyberpunk scenario. Maybe it would feature the whole world and mutlinational companies fighting for it, maybe just one troubled megalopolis. I'd *love* to playtest it.

If you REALLY must do something historical, then go for conquest of Finland - type scenario. Sweden and Novgorod trying to take control with Finnish tribes fighting each other...

Why not something about east asia or india ?
The only good scenarios I have seen about that region deal with the Vietnam War( those were very good) and a few other that haven't left a mark on my memory. Try doing something about China. It has a very long history surely there must be something you can make a beatiful scenario out of. How about the chines trying to defend themself against the mongol invasion including the Great Wall on the map or how about something involving Marco Polo?
If you should decide to do something like that I'd love to playtest it!

Maybe you could do a World War II scenario, covering... oh, wait, never mind

I'd really like to see a good American Revolution scenario.

Mongol Invasion of Europe: They won a few victories and then withdrew for reasons we won't concern ourselves with. What if they didn't?:-)

Who cares about ToT??? Long life to the Old Version!
I agree with Stefu on cyberpunk-shadowrun scenario. I've been debating for quite awhile how to incorporate that idea into civ2.

I agree, I'd like a good American Revolution Scenario or a good War of 1812 Scenario.

The world needs fantasy scenarios! How about something based on Kipling's Jungle Books? Humans versus animals...

Mr. Temba, don't dispair!
There are plenty of people left who will play FW(I hope).
ToT is ... "nice", still most of the time I rather play CivII.

More ideas...
Toy Wars: The toys of the family children battle for space, the attention of the kids, more money from the parents and more.
Terrain would be carpet, furniture, etc...
The dangers...vacuum cleaners, the garbish man and of course the parents.
I am not kidding! I'm serious.

Or how about computer viruses that battle for control of the internet or a computer?
Dangers would be e.g. anti-virus programms.

How about that?

I've always loved the ant scenario idea. Why doesn't anyone ever do it? Thing is, it's the perfect idea for TOT. You could make an amazing ant colony with multiple maps. But it would still be fun with FW.

What techs would an ant research?

Hmm...an idea for a scenario that I've not seen before and has nothing to do with WWII...

Imperium Bacterium. Map looks like a human body. Recommended civs=tetanus, flu, TB, staph infection, etc. Not for play=immune system. Fight off antibodies, white blood cells, vaccines, other civs, and that miniaturized submarine from Fantastic Journey (or was it Incredible Voyage?). Discover new mutations to build meaner and tougher germs. Spread your infectious civilization to vital organs. Terrain depicts muscles, tissue, veins, bones, marrow, organs, etc. Transform tissue into tumors. Goal=cause as much pollution (renamed "pus") to cause global warming (renamed "death").

Civ Ant. Map looks like my backyard. Recommended civs=5 different ant tribes. Not for play=malevolent nature and benevolent nature. Fight off spiders and other bugs (malevolent nature), and other ant tribes for domination of the backyard. "Capture" food (benevolent nature) to take back to your ant hill. Stray near the kitchen and risk a Raid (nuclear) attack on your ant hill (pollution=lots of dead ants). Build ant trails (roads) to your food sources. Capture and eat the family from Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

Ants on a multilevel TOT map! fantastic!
Ants could research things like Working Together Socially, anti-Spider Tactics,
Formic Acid Spraying! the list is endless.

Go on you know you want to...

What about "The Raj"?

A scenario set in India, beginning in 1740. The French and British are just beginning their contest for supremacy, amidst a subcontinent full of interesting and exotic cultures. Historically the British won, but the outcome was by no means certain. Your civs could include England, France, Afghanistan, Kashmir (Sikhs), Moghul Empire, Maratha Confederacy, Nizam Dominions, Mysore, etc. (There are MANY choices among the multitude of Indian principalities.) The graphics possibilities alone are something to salivate about! A well researched "Raj" scenario could be VERY entertaining! I'd be happy to offer some thoughts on Events and Wonders, if you decide to pursue this.

hey, don't take my idea! Unless you start it after August-September 1914. In that case I might even send some units.
But I'm pretty sure Temba won't make a ww1 scenario..

Clovis' France

Under him the Franks made most of the conquests you forced Charlemagne to make. His four sons further expanded the frontiers, driving Visigoths into Spain, expanding the frontier in Germany, and raiding North Italy.

If you need any help with that, I can provide it because that was one of the primary planned focuses of my suspended sequel to MarkL's Roman Empire. I can send you the map, etc.:-)
