COMMENTS: If nothing else, I would just give him a 10+
for the amount of enjoyment I've gotten out of this scenario.
I have never played a scenario this much and I've never had this
much interests in it. The events guide you on your quests (many,
many quests that make it interesting) and there are secret units
you must kill for story, like the letters, flowers, crucified
man, mansion, ship wreck, etc.
He has made
the AI a worthy foe. Under Part 2: Ambush, I lost several towns
to the Romans, something that has never happened to me. I had
to restart that part and when I finally beat it I still lost
a couple. He does this other times too. I actually fought somewhat
of a tactical battle with Roman troops a couple of times. When
a camp is destroyed it triggers a Roman army and this battle
lasted several turns (including the death of Spartacus causing
me to load my last game). It was a struggle for terrain advantage
and hard to get an attack in because of superior Roman mobilization.
It was different from any Civ2 battles I've ever fought because
it was on the field and not based on city sieges. I experienced
this many times. That was great!
But city
sieges are well done. Many cities have a fortress outside of
them for you to stack your units. But of course that city will
have catapults and ballistae to annihilate your men! But on cities
that don't have fortresses you have to keep you troops spread,
or use a siege machine. |
