I've decided to include a demo scenario with my Renaissance patch/expansion. Instead of doing it myself, I thought I'd ask for your help, for a change. What I'm looking for is a short, fun and straightforward scenario that demonstrates some (or many) of Renaissance's strengths. Those who sign up will receive a prerelease copy of the final version of Renaissance, including ~100 new units. This will be the foundation on which the scenario is built.

Some rules:

- The sign-up period will last three days (->Sat evening)
- No limit of participants.
- You will be given 14 days to finish your scenario, starting monday 12th.
- Your scenario will be judged mainly on playability, creativity and instructions, and how well it demonstrates Renaissance's strengths.
- The winner's scenario will be featured in the final release of Renaissance.

Bear in mind that I'm NOT looking for an epic, monstrous mega-scenario with 10 minute cutscenes, 10 megs of custom music and a storyline with more twists than the power cord to my sister's hairdryer. Simplicity and sheer fun will be rewarded. Good map design is a plus, but doesn't play a decisive role in this mini-competition.

After the completion of Renaissance I will bid this community a final farewell, so think of this as your last opportunity to work together with me.

To sign up, simply drop your email here.

Very good! You'll all get the file as soon as possible.

I compiled the final version just a few minutes ago. Still have some GeniEd2 work to do, but all the new units are added. (By coincidence, halfway through the compiling process, I noticed that my stereo, which provided me with some nice background music while I was working, was playing the Imperial March Theme from Star Wars. Needless to say, I was just waiting for things to go wrong after that, but for once it seems like I had fate on my side. )

Not a very good idea. I'd rather see it not finished than ruined.

Although, maybe if it was submitted as an open-ended story...

Good luck, ollie.

Who said that?

It would undoubtedly ruin the whole atmosphere if a new style of design started appearing around you in mid-game.

No good, the designer would propably ruin it, even if it was some master, it wouldn't be the same.

In my opinion there are, but they're few.

Silliest debate ever.

Like Scud said, it's not like I'm gonna pull a BJ and disappear from the face of the earth, I'm just leaving AoKH and AoK scenario designing. There are so many other things I have to prioritate, especially now that I'm a cherub of HG's most active community.

L&T is not scrapped, but I can't find neither the time nor the enthusiasm to work on it. I really don't find Renaissance very interesting, either, but I still feel that if I'm going to leave this place, I should at least leave something I can be proud of behind me. People gain interest, people lose interest, that's life.

Back on topic, anyone else interested in signing up?

Hey oliver, I'm thinking about it, but a couple of questions,

Do I give the file to you, or submitt it on the blacksmith?

Also, do I just add in the special units and buildings and any other stuff in with the game, or are you looking for something else?

Bloody hell, Oliver hurry up with the sending! I have so many ideas, let's just see if I can complete the scenario in 2 weeks. I have two assignments to do by then. But, meh, shouldn't be too much trouble, I'm quite used to working with lots to do. Usually the best way I work.

Bah, I forgot to unlock a whole bunch of units. New version sent. Please redownload, everyone.

@King_Philip
Yes, exactly. A short, entertaining scenario that in one or many ways demonstrates Renaissance's new units.

EDIT:
Here's a short installation checklist, just in case more of you have trouble getting this thing to work.

1. Download the file to your hard drive. (Make sure it's the new one, i.e. beta 2.1!)
2. Install the c-patch, if you haven't already. You can get it here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/ageIIConquerers/Update/1.0c/W982KMe/EN-US/Age2XPatch.exe
3. Remove or backup the file empires2_x1_p1.dat in [AoK root folder]/Data
4. Move the file empires2_x1_p1(beta_2.1).dat to [AoK root folder]/Data
5. Remove the "(beta_2.1)" part of the file name.
6. Now you should be ready to rumble!
