Design notes for Islandbridge 919 AD

“Whoever wishes for a speckled boss, and a sword of sore-inflicting wounds, and a green javelin for wounding wretches, let him go early in the morning to Áth Cliath."
The Annals of the Four Masters

U919.3
"The heathens won a battle against the Irish at Duiblinn in which fell Niall Glúndub son of Aed, king of Ireland, in the third year of his reign, on the fourth feria, the eighteenth of the Kalends of October 14 Sept., and here fell also Aed son of Eochucán, king of Conchobor's Province, and Mael Mithig son of Flannacán, king of Brega, and Conchobor grandson of Mael Sechnaill, heir designate or king of Temair, and Flaithbertach son of Domnall, heir designate of the North, and the son of Dub Sínaig, i.e. Mael Craibe, king of Airgialla, and many other nobles.—The battle of Áth Cliath won by the foreigners."

Mournful today is virginal Ireland
Without a mighty king in command of hostages;
It is to view the heaven and not to see the sun
To behold Niall's plain without Niall.
It has no mirth (a possession of real worth),
It has no peace nor pleasure in a throng,
It is powerless to enjoy itself at a fair,
Since he who brings tears of sorrow has cast it down.
Sad indeed, o yellowing plain of Brega,
O lovely desirable land,
That you have parted from your lordly king,
That glorious deadly Niall has left you.
Where now are the princes of the western world,
Where now the horror of every clang of arms
Since valiant Niall of Cnucha
Has brought desolation to his great cantred?

From the Annals of Ulster

Are we going to get these scenarios in single player? Just much easier to play.

U do the AI for one then the rest should not be that difficult.

No, sorry. I will not be providing single player versions of my scenarios. It requires a whole new set of scenario skills which I am not prepared to learn.

Most of the MP scenarios (if not all) can be played with the Hotseat function.

All you have to do is to put the MP scenarios from "My Games/FieldOfGlory2/MULTIPLAYER" into "My Games/FieldOfGlory2/CAMPAIGNS".

Before starting such a scenario, go to "Game settings" and activate "Hotseat Mode". Then enjoy - or not.
