New Dictator - The Latest Attack!

[curtsibling]

The dull orange civ is the British commonwealth -
A widespread power that represents the 40+ other nations of the Alliance.

And keep in mind that the UK claimed 1/4 of the world in 1939.

I had two choices -

1. What I had previously done, make a gigantic British allies civ;
This would become over-powered later on in the scen.

2. Create a scaled-down Allied civ, comprising many nations.
This would keep the power balance equal.

Note:
In the latest changes, I have given back certain capitals to the general commonwealth.
I had the idea of giving the Brits some control over crucial areas,
but now have scaled this back to cities that are definite UK critial regions:

Gibraltar, Eqypt, Iraq and some others.

The Commonwealth civ has not got the powerful air units of the Brits.
This keeps them from becoming a total late-game aerial nightmare.

That job is reserved for the UK and USA civs!

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.?

well i knew that curt would not place cologne exactely where frankfurt stoud... right?

btw: in this time even Leipzig was more important than Frankfurt I think

Curt dont forget to give Cologne a high production, please! (Should be about Londons shields #)

[curtsibling]

Cifer - You will not be unhappy with Cologne now!

It sits on an oil/industry square and can crank out 65-shield counters per turn!

And that is only with a factory, without any production upgrades...

This region will be the backbone of German weapon-manfacturing!

/me loves Curt Sibling




PS: What I really admire, Dude, is that you can handle constructive criticism. Well anyone knows that you are ONE of THE scenario gods... BUT certain persons wont accept constructive criticism and get insulted. I am very glad that you are not one of them.

And if you wish (although I am not much into Civ2 anymore) I would offer you to design Central Europe with Citys, City sizes and Improvements as Production nd Trade for your Scens in the Future.
I got several historical maps back home (unfortunately just for Central Europe) and lots of historical Background for THIS region of the world ( asi I think) ( ). So dont worry. Cifer is always there for you!

(And sorry about not helping you about the Kaiser Map but I had much trouble with alcohol and Studies down here at f****** Düsseldorf where I wish to escape from after the next term) (Münster hello! )

Ahh ahh to much private stuff.. but noone of you knows me personally so I dont have to be ashamed

Best wishes, Cifer

Curt,

DLed the latest and found that the Commonwealth around the Great Lakes still cannot exit out into the Atlantic. I suggest making a square ocean right by Quebec or otherwise the Commonwealth Civ will keep producing ships in the Great Lakes.

On the other hand, why don't you make an event that opens up the St. Lawrence channel and allows all those ships to empty into the Atlantic to fight the "Nasties"? Maybe make it contingent upon D-Day or a date?

[Harry Tuttle]

Yeah, same about constructive criticism. You are like a reed in the wind. You are a god among artists. Good job Curt!

[GoPostal]

American ships did use the St Lawrenc, and Hitler (or some admiral), had plans of sending a u boat into the great lakes.

[curtsibling]

Thanks, chaps!

I do appreciate all feedback from my buddies here,
as the advice helps make a scenario perfect!



@Cifer:
I will take you up on that Europe design offer soon!

@Harry:
@GoPostal:
I will look into a solution or event today for the great lakes!



I'll be back soon!

If you wanted to be "historically accurate" the independent countries of the Commonwealth would include all of Canada, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. All the Commonwealth parts of India, Malaya, and Africa should be controlled by the British.

And Dar es Salaam was controlled by the British

[rmsharpe]

And I drew a map...because I like to.

Orange: UK

Brown: Commonwealth

Yellow: Wasn't sure where they should go, but Hungary should be part of the Axis. Maybe make them rebel cities?

[jim panse]

Curt, old chap, did you read my comment @ CDG yet? I am too damn lazy to copy-paste them here

[curtsibling]

@Rmsharpe:

Damn fine map, sir!
I will update the city spread now!

PS
Would it be possible for you to upload a blank version of that map,
or point me towards a copy of it? it's a totally great image!

Anyway - Thanks, you are always a grand help!

@Jim:
I'll go and check right now!

[rmsharpe]

What era do you want the map from, Curt? WWI, WWII, Cold War, or present?

[curtsibling]

This might sound a bit mental!

But - How would making some cities into actual national regions sound?

I mean making 'Mongolia' an actual region for instance, represented by one city - ?

Just a fleeting idea -

It would stop African colonies and other areas becoming a superpower late-game...
And free up more city space for more important areas...

What do you all think?

Feasible?
Dumb?

[rmsharpe]

Whenever I see a scenario with a city named "Mongolia" or something, I just stop right there, but if you were going to but "Ulaanbaataar" in there, that'd be good.
