Mother Nature is pissed

[Gandalf Parker]

Hmmm I was rereading old material such as my post on Pangean Strategy in the strategy sticky. I noticed it had wandered into a discussion of a scenario map. There dont seem to be many scenario maps. More support for the MPers than the Soloists.

Im also sparked abit due to other conversations here about the map commands. It might be fun now to reconsider a large scenario map which starts out with created AI players of nature based nations allied against the human players. Maybe call it "The Uprise of Nature" or maybe I should call it something like "Beware the coming of Global Swarming".

I was originally thinking of all 3 eras of Pangea and the 2 eras of Oceania being pre-loaded on the map as AI players (no mod involved). They would be built specifically around the best strategies for playing them with better choices for scales, pretenders, etc and some specific boosts to guide them into better AI play. They were going to be set as both AI and allied with each other. That way the game would not have them attack each other. Maybe have multiple scattered starting locations for each of them to reflect an uprising of nature. Nature temples all over the map for them to boil forth from.

Now Im looking at some of the nations which have been added since that post so long ago and Im wondering if there might not be other choices. Or maybe I should consider multiple versions like Nature vs the rise of Man, and another where some of the nature-based man nations (tree huggers?) are included.

Does any of the other nations strike any of you as a better idea? Or should I stick to the original premise?
Thoughts?
