I've almost completed a new scenario and some scenario building tools that I'm planning to post this evening.
The scenario has the boundary lines in Europe redrawn to roughly match modern nations. I also threw in some casus belli to reflect twentieth-century conflicts. Everything else (mainly leaders and the world outside Europe) is the same as 1492.inc, so it's pretty much an exercise in creative cartography--I named the scenario file Anachronism.eug.
Hopefully people will find it interesting when they want a break from historical accuracy. I got some interesting results when I let it run for a while to see if it was stable.
The tools are a pair of VBScript files. One goes through an .inc file and replaces province numbers and country tags with names, and the other changes them back to numbers and tags. I really don't mind working with the scenario text files, but I didn't want to keep looking up the province ID numbers. They use two text files. One is just a list of province names and numbers. The other is a text file of the country names section of text.csv--I set it up that way so it would be easy to copy and paste from the user's current configuration if they were using the IGC or had made a lot of changes to tags.
