  • Oh damn! I allied everyone to the Barbs but didn't think that it was necessary to ally the Barbs to everyone.

    I'll do a quick fix and zip it up PDQ.

    • Aha!

      I never realised that!

      Since their is no contact between barb and civs, the barbs can attack, but the civ does not react!

      Actually, that could be useful in some other scenarios!

      Once the new versions are made, I will replace my game files and get cracking with the diplo tweaks!

      Good work, Agricola - You are a real trooper!

      • OK, here's the new zip. Unfortunately, I could not figure out any way to control Barb units to see if they would attack another civ.

        The best that I could do was to give them some aircraft, set the game to no human player and watch the game for a while. There were no warlike incidents involving the Barbs.

        Interesting to see the Germans capture Plymouth and then London.

        I assume that you realize that the D3 world is one immense armed camp. Wow!

          Germany has very limite diplomacy...For obvious reasons!
          The Allies might be able to talk to the Soviets...What do you think?

          It opens the possibility for war, but might be fun...

          Cool man, I always wondered what would have happened if Churchhill had told Stalin to go screw himself.

            Great work, Agricola!

            Interesting to see the Germans capture London or Plymouth,
            normally the AI is hopeless and gets a right royale kicking!

            With the new unit stats, things might get even more interesting...

            Now my next task is to fix the diplomacy and see how the war pans out...

              The one thing that worries me is that the AI might declare war too early and skew the balance...

              I will make some tests and see!

                • Oddly, the AI has been pretty well-behaved so far!

                  The USA landed a group of M3 tanks in France a turn after war was declared with Germany!

                  They got a kicking, but that kind of madness is what I want from the AI!

                      • It's Sunday, now Curt. I don't mean to heckle or harass, but I'm looking forward to playtesting Japan for you now that my computer's back in full working form. This excitement may not last forever, however...

                        Please post something.

                        • Real life gets in the way sometimes, my dear chap!

                          If you can bear with me for a bit longer I will update the pages at the Evo site soon!

                          • Sorry for the delay, but I have been playing a few games myself
                            (till the end of the scenario) to iron out bugs and
                            problems...

                            I can say the fun/insanity level as the Commonwealth and Chinese is high!

                            Pretty hard to challenge the Axis, who are scary powerful!
                            The Soviets are right hard to fight when they get going too!

                            One more test as the USA and I will post a zip!
                            Played on top difficulty level this should be a fun game....

                            • While playing and watching the AI, I have made a list
                              of the best ways to handle each civ. The main things to
                              build for each civ is the APCs, artillery and bomber types.

                              Follow up with naval attacks if you have them and cover
                              your tanks and troops with fighters. Strike fast and don't
                              give the AI a chance to recover...Kick their bootays!

                              Battle plans:
                              Japan - Conquest of China as fast as possible, then consider war with the Allies.
                              Germany - Cripple the UK, crush Russia as fast as possible, be ready to fight the US.
                              USSR - Develop better Soviet weapons and prepare for possible total war.
                              British - Fight off Germany and concentrate your forces on individual enemy cities.
                              Commonwealth - Assist the US/UK and take out weaker cities in Asia/Africa.
                              USA - Get into the war fast and crush the Axis with droves of units.
                              China - Hold the fort and hope the Japanese slip up.

                              • DICTATOR UPDATE!

                                Sigh no more! The latest Dictator-ToT version is up at Evo!

                                Get your combat boots on and grab it:


                                1)
                                Please wipe the contents of your Dictator folder and the sounds folder within that.

                                2)
                                Install the game files to the Dictator folder and the sounds to the proper folder.

                                3)
                                Install the improvement bitmaps to the Dictator folder to enhance the CIV-Pedia.

                                4)
                                Play and kick some Axis/Allied rear, and tell me of any bugs, glitches or disasters.

                                5)
                                Your play experiences and feedback are totally important to me, so please fire away!

                                I will rush to fix any bloopers that have been overlooked,
                                but keep in mind this version is almost a total remake,
                                so there is a tiny chance some gremlins may have slipped in.

                                But if you tell me where the bugs are, I will do my best to EXTERMINATE them!

                                Most of all, have fun - This one is for you guys!
