Germany has Hollywood War Movies.

Salt Lake City, Portland, Minneapolis, Chicago, Washington, and Seattle don't produce enough shields to support all of it's units.

The democracies won't be able to improve their countries, will they?

Old chap,
Worry not about those slightly odd wonders, they will be fixed.
I wanted to get this thing out into the playtest ASAP,
as I have kept everyone waiting too long!

I'll fix seattle too.

The commonwealth, represents all the allied nations who where part of the old Brit empire and sphere of influence...
....I only wish CIV2 had more civ slots!

The POW units are a little bonus for the 'evil' civs.
Focus of the game really is warfare, and it is a choice for
the Axis and Sovs to research this, when they could spend
the research on a weapon to fend off the Allied onslaught.

PS
And that US map is excellent, man!
It will be so useful for an upcomng project of mine, thanks RM!

*adds this to change list*

I'll look into it!

Playtesting now. Complete across the board, or course, except for:

1. Playing the British: Multiple unit disbands appear on turn 1 for the outlying British (not Commonwealth) colonies. I think I lost about 7 units in Africa and S. America.

2. For some odd reason the names on the outside of the cities of Jacksonville, San Diego, and Seattle are not showing up at all when playing the British. I suppose that these cities were founded after the map was uncovered?

3. Question about Quebec being the only exit out of the St. Lawrence/Great Lakes. Commonwealth ships are piling up at the city and cannot exit into the Atlantic.

Besides that it looks to be good and sound.

Thanks, Harry - I will look into these too!

Nothing intentional old friend!

Just jumping between CIV2 and Poly while typing!
My old brain can only intake so much info!

Do you think Frankfurt should have more Industry?

Let me know!

[curtsibling]

BTW - Here is the latest update, fixing some issues raised by Harry and Rmsharpe!



GET IT HERE!

[curtsibling]

Just a quick Install guide!

1. Make a 'Dictator' Folder in your CIV2 Scenarios folder.

2. Make 'Sounds' Folder in your Dictator folder.

3. Drag or unzip the zip contents into the respective folders.

4. Make sure your MGE version is fully patched and has the 'No Limits' mod installed.

5. Make a cup of your favourite beverage, stick on your sounds and enjoy!

Well as Frankfurt usually is NOT part of the Rhein/Ruhrgebiet - but Cologne/Dortmund/Essen/Bochum/Duisburg (which normally would all stand at almoust the same square) are the highest populated area at Germany (and I also think all over Europe) I would rather intend to erase Frankfurt and build Cologne (or Essen) instead. This city should be Germanys absolute production- powerhouse and not be overranked by any German city.

It is a little like leaving out New York in the USA.


Oh and before I forget: Congratulations to your degrees, old Curt

[curtsibling]

Cologne it is!
I will make this change ASAP!

And about the degree: Thanks, Cifer!

[curtsibling]

I've been testing Dictator all day too - Some hairy battles as the Reich.

It's Feb 1945, I have V2s, Me262s and Amerika bombers.
I did not declare war on the Commies, but in the Atlantic I am battling
with the never-ending supply of US Navy boats heading for Europe!

And some US super battleships just appeared too....EEK!

Lucky I took out London in 1944, and turned it into a fighter-filled, B17-attracting death zone!

Well, with the changes I will add tomorrow, things will get even more interesting!

See you all then!

Looking great, Curt!

What I discovered right off the bat:
* That German Soldier fortified south of Oslo is in fact foritied inside Sweden. Gothenburg to be specific.
* Stalingrad is not visable. You should reveal whole map in the scenario parametres.
* Why is Shiraz Rebel and Teheran not? They are both in Iran. Something I don't know?
* Won't the British controlled Delhi just stand in the way for the Commonwealth player?
* Guam is too far to the left. It should be more like 231,109.
* Wasn't Iceland allied controlled by June 1940?
* You have French North Africa in the neutral civ. Good! But Vichy-France was just as neutral in France. Rename Lyon Vichy and place it together with Marseille in the neutral civ.
* You should have more German aircrafts in Norway. Norway had many important airbases during the Blitz. Make an airbase at 134,48 or thereabout.
* The Norwegian region of Finmark on the Russian border saw some horrific fighting. Captured by the Russians in 44. Why not at least have a German outpost there in form of a fortress?

I agree with you Cifer, but wouldn't he then have to move the city up two squares, or at least one. And then maybe Leipzig could be removed, since it is then in the way, and replaced by Strassburg (Strasbourg) at 134,64 or Saarbrücken at 135,33.?

Fine work as always, Curt! Can't wait to try out the finished version!

btw, when can we see the Dictator Giga Map?

[curtsibling]

Whoops!

I was about to release the new zip, but after reading Kobra's info - I will delay that order!

I have added Cologne instead of Frankfurt, and moved the city up one square from Franfurt's old co-ords.

I will make these other changes and re-release the zip for a play today.

Stay tooned!

[curtsibling]

In a previous version -
I was going to make Lyon as Vichy before, but I heard many protests - What do you all think?

It might cause trouble when the D-Day invasion comes, the
Allies would not just let a Adolf-friendly government rule 1/2 of France!

[Arthedain]

Well the Germans should be able to invade Vichy-france to secure the area from the Allies.

Another suggestion, shouldn't Hugnary (Budapest) and Romania (Bucharest) belong to Germany? It wasn't really conquered by Germany since they were allied. Just a suggestion though..

Ardabil should be included in ´what Kobra mentioned about Iran.

Al Mawsil belonged to Iraq so shouln't it belong to Britain?

And please, will you explain why you devided the British empire in two civs? And why certain cities in the same territory (i.e South Africa) belongs to the different civs.. *curious*
