I think is interesting to know the user scenarios in development.
I am working on two scenarios:

- LENS (TYW) 20 aug. 1648
- MARCIANO (Italy) 2 aug. 1554

Good to hear.

Hi Nikdav.

Will these be MP scenarios, or are you writing AI?

Hi Richard,
Actually I am testing the editor and i had only the basic BAM files with the standard AI,
and it work better than i hope (French vs AI for Lens) and (Strozzi Army vs AI for Marciano).

Currently
Scania War

Fehrbellin 1675 Player Branderburg, AI Swedes

Halmstad 1676 Player Swedes, AI Danes

I'm working on a project about the Ottoman Wars, i made a first beta of the battle of Mohacs (1526).
there is only the essential campaign and battle BAM file, you must unzip in the campaigns folder :
"documents\my games\pikeandshot\campaigns"
and so you can test the battle of Mohacs in the Ottoman Wars campaign.
Every feedback is very appreciated.

Update: new version 0.2
You must copy from any other campaign folder the file "BACKDROP.dds" and add the file in the Ottoman folder.

Thanks Nikdav!

I'll try it as soon my GF is asleep.

Nikdav, I've checked the scenario files after I saw that the description doesn't show up right in the game.

First, you have to rename the scenario from "Mohacs 1526" to "Mohacs_1526". The game doesn't like non-breaking spaces very much.

After that you need to put two .txt files inside the UI folder: CAMPAIGN_OVERLAY.txt and SCENUI_MOHACS_1526.txt. You can copy those two files from any of the games original scenarios.

In CAMPAIGN_OVERLAY.txt you don't have to change anything; it's important for the layout of the campaign description.

SCENUI_MOHACS_1526.txt determines the layout of the scenario description. You have to copy a similar file (like SCENUI_Wimpfen.txt) and rename it accordingly.

Open SCENUI_MOHACS_1526.tx and exchange the original scenario name with "MOHACS_1526". The result looks like that:

If I haven't forgotten something that should do it. If you face any problems please let me know, I'll try to help you.

Thanks for the input !

I upload the new version 0.2

Hello Nikdav!

Are you still working on your Ottoman Wars Project? The Mohacs scenario is very interesting and makes one craving for more.

Hey Adebar !
I rediscover my old books on Ottoman Wars and i start many scenarios, today i work on balance:

IDS_SCENARIO_MOHACS_1526,"Mohacs~29 august 1526",
IDS_SCENARIO_GARAM_1664,"Garam-St.Benedek~19 july 1664",
IDS_SCENARIO_ST.GOTTHARD_1664,"St.Gotthard-Mogersdorf~ 1 august 1664",
IDS_SCENARIO_SLANKAMEN_1691,"Slankamen~ 17 august 1691"

....and on paper there are many others !

this is the long term program, i start collect data (maps, OOB, description .....)

Impressive list! I can see that you're quite ambitious.
If you're looking for someone for playtesting please let me know. When it's time you could open a seperate thread in the Scenario Design forum for further discussion. I guess there's a number of folks that will be glad to help you with your projects. We need more custom scenarios!

...and there are also the battles between Ottomans and Persians........and the Mongols...., the eastern front wars are very interesting all the time.
The dream was a campaign manager with the Ottoman AI making incursions in the imperial territory, with the player trying to stop or slow the big Turkish Army. I find this fantastic hungarian map of the incursions from 1521 to 1566.
