Your favourite scenario (and why)?

[Dennis[DK]]

Of the 12 Civ V scenarios, which one is your favourite, and why?

My favourite is Rise of the Mongols. A good intense war-scenario, and challenging too. I too like American Civil War, which also let you go to war right away.

My least favourite is Into the Renaissance and Wonders of the Ancient World. Actually, there is not many of the other scenarios I like. Too much randomness in most/all scenarios, too little realism, and too little work are putted in them. But these two are my least favourite. Renaissance are too long-winded, the AI's are extremely warmongers, and the turns takes too long time, because the number of AI's/players. And the wonder scenario is too boring IMO.

My ranking of the scenarios:

• 1066: Year of Viking Destiny 2/5
  
• American Civil War 3,5/5
  
• Conquest of the New World 2/5
  
• Conquest of the New World, deluxe 2,5/5
  
• Empires of the Smoky Skies 1,5/5
  
• Fall of Rome 2/5
  
• Into the Renaissance 1/5
  
• Paradise Found 2/5
  
• Rise of the Mongols 5/5
  
• Samurai Invasion of Korea 2,5/5
  
• Scramble for Africa 2,5/5
  
• Wonders of the Ancient World 1/5

Yes, I think so

I like the Conquest of the New World most, both original and Deluxe are great. They offer huge replayability value because of random continent of Americas and two sides which are working quite differently.

I have played most scenarios, but problem in most scenarios is that there is no replayability value once you won then in Deity. Rise of the Mongols was fun, but it didin't take that many tries to get the Deity win, and there is only one playable civ... so I have not played it since. Some scenarios are way too easy on Deity too, for example 1066: Year of Viking Destiny could be a good scenario, but AI is way too stupid and I won it on Deity at my first Deity try.

One major problem with scenarios are that some of them use old vanilla/G&K game mechanisms. For example Wonders of the Ancient World is really painfull to play now, because you have endure all those vanilla bugs and stupid AI.
