Hi everyone! We decided it would be a good idea to do some pioneering work on trigger-based scenarios. Hence we are going to create a trigger-based scenario called Athens Triumphant. The main purpose of this project is logically to do pioneering work on triggers, to provide a base for other maps and to get our Scenario Designers accustomed with the Trigger functionality in 0 A.D. This scenario deals with the Greco-Persian Wars. We divided it roughly into three parts: Battle of Marathon, Defense of Athens and the Battle of Salamis. We created a story diagram to give an easily readable overview of the story line. Note that this could be changed in the future. We have used the Athens Sandbox as a base to build our map upon. Here is the current status (with some triggerpoints and names placed): We'll keep you up-to-date with weekly updates! Keep in touch!

Appreciate the scenario inputs, Thorfinn! We might as well put those ideas in a similar scenario in the future. However, we have used the sandbox Athens map to make map-making easier and less time-consuming, so we can only put ideas and scenario objectives within the constraints of the map itself. Having said that, I have started the painting of the map, and lo, my inadequate painting :

I don't think that warning is actually the problem. In the Fortress Random Map there is a script that places the walls and buildings inside. It can't find Seleucid walls are not defined in the file (apparently) and so it falls back to the Athens wall. You won't however notice the difference since they use the same wall buildings. Unit placement is however completely different. The only thing I can imagine that wall placement affects the unit placement is that the former somehow changes a variable that is being used by the latter. (But seeing that the entities are placed before the wall renders that imagination impossible I think)

OK,My friend MIMO! I have uploaded the archive file, please test it, thank you! savegame-0026.zip
