Just a general question: is anyone bothered about the 1000 BC scenario?
That person is me.
Despite it's last update (0.3 as I know, you deleted it in 0.4), it was almost complete in Anatolia. I would like to help you in this scenario, in return I'd like to play it.
Suggested city name changes (according to oldest aviable names, and switches to important cities in the era):
1)Basrah(Basora province) -> Ur
2)Larende(Silifke province) -> Larawanda
3)Konya(Karamania province) -> Ikonion
4)Adana(Kilikia province) -> Tarsus
5)Kütahya(Germiyan province) -> Sardeis
6)Smyrna(Smyrna) -> Ephesos
7)Adrianople(Thrace province) -> Aimos
8)Cadiz(Cadiz province) -> Gades*
9)Ordu(Amasra province) -> Kotyora
10)Malatya(Kharput province) -> Melid
11)Diyarbakr(Diyarbekir province) -> Amida**
12)Ankara(Angora province) -> Hattusas***
13)Sinop(Sinop province) -> Sinope
14)Kastamonu(Bolu province) -> Nyssa
15)Izmid(Bursa) -> Astacus****
Needed changes:
1)*at least level 5 colony
2)**capital of an Aramean kingdom called Bet-Zamani
3)****in 1194 scenario it was probably called Olbia
4)Phoenician colony called Tingis, around level 2
5)Known Phoenician sea routes to Britannia (British Isles, not Bretagne) and to modern Mogadischu(!) - but no colony
6)Suggested city-nation to Korea: Sila
7)Suggested civilized clans to Japan: Kibi, Izumo, Yamato
8)Suggested military leaders to Kingdom of Israel: Saul, Jonathan (or Jonatash, etc.)
9)Suggested military leaders to Philistea: Goliath
10)Moabites weren't followers of Judaism, and they were most likely separate in the era, perhaps the Kingdom of Moab mentioned in many legends
11)Suggested nation Ugarith: near Antioch
12)If you could do it, transform Kuwait to sea province, it was under water, or perhaps transform it to marshland
13)***Hattusas was the capital of an independent non-indo-european kingdom called Hatti. The indo-european conquerors renamed themselves to Hittites after they destroyed this nation. This means that Hattusas itself (and the name) is much older than the Hittites.
I could also try to dig into China, Persia, India, and Indochina later, if you decide to resurrect the 1000 scenario.
You could also contact me in PM
non actual
hellenistic, perhaps in later scenarios
