Oooh, fun. I just bought a sound editor, so count me in.

If we need new icons, cities and other crazy graphics, I'm up for it too!

[fairline]

Right that's it - let's do it! I'll open a new thread; wouldn't want to spam old Herreson any more than I already have

[curtsibling]

This is the dawn of a glorious project, comrades!

Will you exploit the multimap choice? Battle for Stalingrad? Kursk? Moscow? Leningrad?

[Heresson]

You could divide the second map into several pieces by use of unpassable terrain perhaps, and have all the major cities there.

Fantastic idea. But which Red Front do you have in mind, Captain Nemo's RF 1.4 or RF 1.5, Colwyn's modification of the original?

Unfortunately, both scens have major loopholes and some serious shortcomings.

In RF 1.4, "Too many units" is a major problem. The event that creates 2 Partisans if a Red Army unit is killed allows a player, who takes maximum advantage of it, to finish world conquest in late 1942. Changing the T-34/76 slot in RULES to JS-2 at the beginning of Summer 1944 is a tremendous benefit to a player who has built a large number of cheap T-34's.

In RF 1.5, "Too many units" and the Partisan loophole have been fixed. The T-34/76 slot problem remains in the version I just downloaded from Spanish Civ Site.

The other problem with 1.5 is that the author strongly advocates that the Russians found new cities in Siberia, has positioned Labor Brigades to do so and suggests that this is necessary to win the scenario. I have tested this idea and found it 100% incorrect, expanding existing cities is much more efficient than hacking away at the Siberian bush. I had little trouble capturing Berlin in January '44.

Agricola: to save spamming Heresson's thread anymore, can we discuss this in the thread Harry has linked to? Thanks

[Heresson]

Oh, I didn't mind

I vote for no mulitmaps...

I think the actual game should be kept pure -
Nemo already reached perfection with it.

We could however take advantage of ToT's unit flags and
special events to fix a few crazy things FW/MGE couldn't handle!

[Heresson]

The game still crushes
