Fortress Europe

[McMonkey]

@Jerec

1) Cardiff and Bristol have been set not to build ships as they were not major shipyards. Cities like Glasgow, Newcastle and Belfast were and can build ships.

2) I could cut the number of US troops at the beginning.

3) I forgot to set one city to produce them. If you want use Civ City to change production in one city!

4) AA guns cannot move so there is no point in allowing them to attack aircraft. I made them immobile as they are intended for city defence and to help the AI defend key locations.

U-Boat menace, or lack of:
I have included several move unit events to prevent this but it appears not to be working. I will check this out. Hopefully the spawned U-Boats will make up for this somewhat. Getting the AI to behave in a sensible way is one of the most frustrating features of single player games and is why I prefer to develop multiplayer scenarios

Thanks for your comments

Anyone tried this yet?

The SLeague appears to be f-ed. Do you have another link to the files?

[McMonkey]

Oh yeah. Hope its not for long! I will try and post the files in RAR format here when I get a moment.

Please take a look at the Read Me html file. Hope a few of you can find some spare time to have a play around and let me know what you think.

The link seems to lead to a MGE version of the game? Or is it a ToT version after all?

[McMonkey]

Ah, the Scenario League is working again. The game is for ToT, I just haven't got round to altering the category.

I have some time off work over the next few weeks so I will try and put the finishing touches to Fortress Europe. If anyone would like to have a go and give me some feedback I will try and work in any changes needed.

[McMonkey]

If anyone would like to have a go at this scenario, even a brief one, and give me a little feedback it would be much appreciated. I'm not pouting, well maybe a little , but if nobody is going to play it then there is not much point in me carrying on I am quite proud of what I have created but really need to know what others think so that I can finalize it.

[fairline]

Bit busy finishing PeG-ACW. I will give it a try in a couple of weeks though.

[curtsibling]

Downloaded it, will give it a try today!

Play-report will be posted!

@McMonkey:

Is this one for MGE or ToT?
The wiki entry says MGE, but the files are for ToT...

And does the scen start in Winter 1941?
Not sure if I should run the batch until I know...

[McMonkey]

Thanks for taking a look CS

It is for ToT. I will change the category now.

Before beginning run the batch file option 1 to put in place the Winter 1941 graphics. I decided against using snow terrain as I personally find it a bit hard on the eye. Instead I went for leafless trees and generally more drab terrain.

Remember to play as Allies only at Deity level. The read me html page is worth reading as it explains some of the special concepts in the game.

Enjoy (I hope)

[curtsibling]

Will do, cheers!

I was just wondering if anyone ever got round to playing this scenario?

It has been almost a year since I released the Alpha and I have heard nothing. I know how bad I am at remembering to play other peoples work so it is not a criticism, I just thought I would jog peoples memories that it is out there.

Although it is the Alpha I have tested it myself and found no major bugs, however it would be really interesting to see what other people make of it. It is quite a large scenario and the first few AI turns take a while to play through, but I think the events should make it quite challenging.

If you have a spare afternoon please have a go and let me know what you think. I have been a bit demotivated with Civ recently and some feedback would help spur me on in general

The link does not work.

[Cyrion]

It does work for me! But sadly I fear I won't have time to try it...
