The scenario design competition challenged
people to design the best Civ2 scenario possible covering the
period leading up to World War I in Africa. The contest was sponsored
by the Scenario League in partnership with the Apolyton
Civilization Site's Civ2 Area and Allard
& Andrew's Site. There were six entries in all.
The official decision is represented
by the Scenario League's Africa
Design Award this time. The Peoples'
Choice Award is represented by the ribbons. A tie for 2nd place
means no yellow ribbon will be awarded this time; instead, we
gave two red ribbons.
Congratulations to all the winners!

Menelik II of
Ethiopia
by Blackclove
  |
"The British
promised Ethiopia that if they aided the British against Egypt,
a major port city would be returned to them. Instead, the British
gave it over to the Italians, who fought a war of conquest against
the Ethiopians, including Negus Yohannes IV and Menilek II. The
newly-unified Italy desperately wanted to build an Empire of
her own in Africa. Historically, Menilek II defeated Italy and
captured substantial territory, more than doubling the size of
his empire. It was not until World War I that Ethiopia would
be defeated. Can you
duplicate Menilek's success?"

Oryx
Brown Man's Burden
by Carl Fritz
 |
"This scenario
is neither history nor fantasy, but historical fantasy. It's
for armchair generals who dream of how efficiently they could
crush
native resistance in Africa with Zeppelins and Dreadnoughts.
It's for incurable romantics who dream of frustrating imperialist
aggression
by leading freedom fighters to victory in the face of overwhelming
odds. So don't expect any dinosaurs or Lost Kingdoms in Darkest
Africa, but don't expect a history lesson either.

Colonial Wars
by Jesús Balsinde
 |
"Of all
the African nations, only the ancient kingdom of Ethiopia remained
completely free from European domination by the end of the 19th
century. But in 1885 the Europeans distributed Africa among themselves
and Ethiopia was put under the Italian sphere of influence..."
An excellent scenario featuring new units, a fun expansionistic
bent, and more.

Battle of Adowa
by Cam Hills
|
"Adowa saved
Ethiopia from Italian colonisation and raised its status from
that of an isolated nation whose institutions, heritage and people
were held in contempt to that of an equal partner in the world
community of nations."

African Pride
by Coug
|
"African
pride has come to an end. European powers have turned their eyes
toward the black continent, greedy to acquire new lands to impress
their fellow Europeans. There are however two independent factions.
The Ethiopeans and the Boers. The Ethiopeans have to withstand
European colonization while the Boers are fighting for their
continued freedom. As one of the European nations the goal is
to expand as much as possible before the end of this scenario."

Scramble for Africa
by Nicolas Holzapfel
|
"My aim
for this scenario was to create one that was historically accurate
one from an entirely European perspective. The player takes the
role of one of the seven European nations who set out to take
their share of Africa. The game begins at the beginning of 1885,
immediately after the Berlin Conference. This conference speeded
up the colonization process which had been well under away from
1880 since the Europeans realised that they would need to back
up their territorial claims with real occupation. It ends with
the outbreak of World War I in August 1914. World War I devastated
Europe and effectively ended the age of European expansion and
imperialism."
