  1. Scramble for AfricaCiv 4 Scenario • 1884-1914 • 12 turns per year; 360 turns total • ('Normal' Civ4 game is 500 turns)‏ • Use Civ4's Large 'Africa' map • Might need to add Arabian Peninsula • Maybe modify to make Congo and Nile actual ocean – navigable by ships • Civ4 default for Large map is 9 Civs • Only Domination / Conquest / Time victory enabled • Corporations – disable (maybe modify in ver 2)‏

  2. Civs and Leaders • Great Britain – William Gladstone ( ) • France - Émile Loubet (William Merlaud-Ponty) • Germany – Bismarck (Carl Peters) • Portugal – Luis I ( ) • Belgium – Leopold II (Stanley?) • Italy – Umberto I ( ) • Spain – Alfonso XII ( ) • Boer Republic – Paul Kruger (---) • Conglomeration of historical Transvaal Republic, Orange Free State, etc • Ethiopia – Menelik II (---) • Need to designate civics

  3. Tech • Start everyone at same level • Democracy • Rifling • Astronomy • Corporation • Chemistry -> Railroad • Might need to adjust research costs such that it won't be possible to progress TOO far in 320 turns (don't get too far past early 1900's tech)‏

  4. Religions • Christianity • Ver 2 – delineate Protestant and Catholic • Islam – present in some cities, like Zanzibar, Cairo • Ver 2 - “Tribal” • Founding of other religions won't happen because all Civs will be past that point in the tech tree

  5. Misc • Ver 2 (maybe) – have jungle & desert do X% damage to units until a certain tech researched • Would have to modify tech tree • Might be unnecessary, since those squares already have high movement costs and poor resources. Probably best to not alter the rules for this scenario. • Ver 2 (maybe) – give each power some off-map research or $$ or units • Although if this is needed it is probably a sign that scenario balance is off • Could give (maybe periodically) each European power some assistance from the homeland – some ships + military units, settlers – that appear on ocean

  6. Starting Cities* = capital • Spain • Dakhla (aka Villa Cisneros)* • Ceuta • Melilla • Tenerife (Canaries)‏ • Portugal • Luanda (Angola)‏* • Sofala (Mozambique port) • Bissau • Nacala (Mozambique port) • Italy (some of these not occupied until later than 1884…) • Massawa* • Mogadishu • Assab • Tripoli • France • Dakar* • Djibouti • Brazzaville • Tunis • Diego-Suarez (now Antsiranana, Madagascar) • Germany • Dar es Salaam* • Douala (Cameroon)‏ • Lüderitz (Namibia)‏ • Lome (Togoland) • Belgium • Boma* • Leopoldville (now Kinshasa)‏ • Stanleyville (now Kisangani)‏ • Coquilhatville (now Mbandaka) • Ethiopia • Adis Ababa* • Gondar • Jimma • Harar • Great Britain • Cairo* (Suez) • Cape Town • Port Natal • Zanzibar • Lagos • Boer Republic • Pretoria* • Bloemfontein • Potchefstroom

  7. “Barbarians” • Make some of these cities that can be conquered; others just a concentration of tribal villages • Make sure “goody huts” give sensible outcomes – maybe always generate Barbarians • Make barbarians use Zulu Impi warrior, and maybe some Muslim unit • Zulu • Isandlwana, Ulundi • Buganda – king Mutesa then Mwanga • Arab Slavers • Egypt • Need to include Fashoda! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashoda_incident • Other tribes • Sahwari – in Spanish Sahara • Abushiri revolt – German East Africa • Ndeble – Rhodesia • Mazrui – Kenya • Dahomey • Mahdi revolt – Sudan. Khartoum should be “barbarian”; recently captured from British in 1884. • Mahajanga and Antananarivo – Madagascar • Asmara – Eritrea • Otjimbingwe – Namibia • Chinguetti, Tidjikja - Mauritania

  8. Interesting Links, etc • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:DR_1934_541_Gustav_Nachtigal.jpg • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Barth • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamerun • I think South Africa alone, on an expanded map, ~1830s+, would be a cool scenario! Cape Colony, Zulu, Orange Free State, Natalia, Transvaal Republic, German South-West Africa • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Sahara • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Conference • http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=300825 AI vs AI – useful for balancing? • Map of German East Africa: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/21/Meyers_b14_s0300a.jpg
