Colonialism – The Age of Discovery |
The Vikings were the first Europeans to reach the Americas, starting but then abandoning the colonisation process.
The first phase of modern European activity in this region began with the oceanic crossings of Christopher Columbus (1492-1500). 1492 marked the discovery of the Americas by modern Europeans and it was not long after this that Castile began the conquest of South America and the Caribbean. Improvements in technology made the European voyages of exploration possible and made the clash between different cultures inevitable. The riches of gold and land in the New World intensified Old World rivalries and began a commercial revolution. Britain, France, the Netherlands, Portugal and Habsburg Spain, vied for world dominance. REQUIREMENTS: Civ2 MGE; Author: Eivind IV; File Size: 5.1 MB; Forum thread |

In the 300 years lasting from 1500 to 1800, the seafaring European nations will undergo a huge era of expansion via colonization. As colonization progresses, (the map will turn blue) one nation will emerge as the first global superpower.
You will win if you are that superpower – within the 300 years timeframe. Ultimately the race to colonize was as much a test of economic might as well as military might. TRON captures this aspect. Screenshots: #1 #2 #3 Title Image REQUIREMENT: Civ2 MGE Author: Kobayashi; File Size: 3.09 MB |

| The Mughals: An account of India towards the end of the Middle Ages | Noticing well enough that there are very few scenarios dealing with the developement of Asia between the Mongol times and the present day, and even less focusing especially on India, I, who I come from a family that has a very close relation to the history of India, decided to do this scenario. At first, I planned to create an overview of the conquests of Babur. As I did research, I noticed that Babur is a fascinating person, but his achievements are too little in a too short time period to create into a scenario. So, I wanted to include his son. As I did further reading, I recognized Akbar and his successors as even more fascinating characters. What came out now is a scenario detailing the politcal situation of India at the dawn of its colonization by the European powers.

The European belief that gold existed in abundance in the Americas, coupled with a European population explosion, encouraged explorers to sail across the Atlantic in search of wealth and new lands. The ancient Aztec and Inca empires of central and South America immeadiately fell to the Spanish and Portuguese, while in the north, the French, Dutch and English also spurred by the desire to find gold and to claim profitable lands for their crowns, decided to attempt permanent settlement.

Sound: 1 |
Lope de Aguirre, the megalomaniac and paranoid soldier of iron will, murdered the leaders of the largest Spanish expedition to search for Eldorado, descended the Marañón, Amazon, and Orinoco rivers and conquered the island of Margarita (off Venezuela) from the astonished Spanish settlers. Then he set off to conquer Peru before being finally killed by his own men near Barquisimeto (Colombia). Now you are on Aguirre’s shoes. Do it a little bit better than the real one and conquer the five Spanish settlements in New Granada… or at least, try to get out of the jungle alive!

In the dawn of October 12, 1492, Rodrigo de Triana, look-out of the Pinta, yelled out a word -¡Tierra!- that would change the world for ever. Thanking God for the discovery, Christopher Columbus and his men promptly took possession of those new lands for the Crown of Spain. That landing initiated the most fascinating cultural confrontation in all of recorded history; a chronicle of idealism, illusion, courage, cruelty, and greed that brought natives and invaders together in a struggle for possession of a continent. Less than fifty years after Columbus’ arrival, the Spanish had conquered and controlled all territories below RÃo Grande except the coast of Brazil, which was occupied by the Portuguese. Yours is now the chance to duplicate this feat… if you can!

| Habsburg Bid for Mastery | The year is 1526. Suleiman’s Ottoman armies have slain the Hungarian king at Mohacs, silencing the last claim against Habsburg possessions in Central Europe. Charles V has been both Holy Roman Emperor and king of Spain since 1519, the culmination of centuries of shrewd marriages and politics. But he has also inherited his family’s enemies: the Valois kings of France, who covet the rich cities of Italy; the Turks, who will not stop in Hungary; and the English Tudors, always anxious to curb the power of continental rivals. And underlying these struggles, a religious debate started by a guilt-wracked monk will prove the most perilous threat of all. Already German princes have formed ranks on the intellectual battleground, and the Netherlands, prosperous Habsburg clients, welcome Protestant ideas with open arms. The stigma of excommunication means little to those who have renounced papal Authority; but perhaps Castilian arms and the riches of the New World can tip the balance . . . .

From early on, they had to struggle against other regional "superpowers": Though able to defeat and eliminate the Timurids, who had been ruling over Persia for the last century, they soon saw themselves in the shadow of two rising powers: The Safavids in Persia and the Mughals in Afghanistan. Their goal, the conquest of Khorassan, was halted by the Persian expansion. Thus, the Shaibanid Uzbeks were unable to turn themselves into a big and important power. Can you do it better?

| The Golden Age of the United Provinces of the Netherlands: the end of the Pax Hispanica | 1589 AD. A bloody struggle for freedom has started in the Spanish Low Lands. It all started with Religion. After a small rebellion about religion, the Duke of Alba was sent to the Netherlands, arriving one year after the end of the rebellion and executing some 1100 Protestants. After this act of cruelty, the Low Lands devided into two parties; the Union of Artois in the South, pro-Spanish and the Union of Utrecht, most of modern-day Holland and Belgium, which was anti-Spanish. William of Orange raised an army and attacked from Germany. After initially been beaten back, the Dutch finally capture Den Briel in 1573. Success would now be on the Dutch side and the city of Leiden is relieved after a long siege. In 1584 however, William of Orange is assassinated by a fanatic catholic, and the next year, the Low Lands’ biggest city, Antwerpen, is captured by the Spanish. The year is now 1589. Prince Maurits has just become Stadtholder. You take his place, or you can choose to play as another player, but whoever you rule, prepare for a long and bloody struggle to keep your nation alive and independent.
