I'm not convinced, given AGGIE and your lopsided victories.

Don't forget that I've been kind of "cheating" (reloading after each turn!) and that AGGIE is AGGIE...

But you're right, it's worth testing the game with the changes before doing anything else!

I'm especially interested in the "democratic" behaviour of some civs!

I considered making the wonder obsolete if Berlin was captured by the Bolsheviks, but decided against it

It's not as if it made a huge change anyway! So I would leave it so too!

I have the Steam Crane. Thanks Gareth!

So I'll post the 2nd playtest version tomorrow.

Superb!
Roll on the red revolution!

(I still would love to play as the white faction)

Go for it! Wipe out the Bolshies! For once, in a scen by tech, you will have at least some events working in your favour.

[curtsibling]

Heh - !

I might do that, but it would be nice to have the events
and other features geared to the white faction! Perhaps
Tech might be convinced at some time to do a version?

Don't bother - I tried it once with the original Red October; the Whites had serious debt and happiness issues

So when is the wonderful commie kill-fest coming out?

I'll leave those to you. Wiping out fascists is far more satisfying from my perspective.

[curtsibling]

My meaning was to ask when this wonderful scenario (featuring commies killing whites) is coming out?

I would never imply the Reds are not experts at killing!

I've run into a glitch. I had an obsolete Sailor unit building in Petrograd. Since the changes I've recently made to the scenario, this now automatically changes to an artillery unit when the scenario loads. I want to have the Sailor unit buildable in one city until better infantry comes along. I've tried everything I can think of to isolate the problem. Nothing works. Can anyone help?

[curtsibling]

Is this when the AI builds the unit, Tech?

...

[GhostOfDisco]

Downloaded the old Red October to see what the fuss was all about.

I'd ask when the scenario would come out, but given that I'm stuck with one scenario and somewhat in the begining stages of another...

Still, if anyone has a good gfx update pack of this scen they'd like to share...

Already tried changing the role? Which slot?

[techumseh]

I have:

changed the role of the unit to all 5 possibilities,
changed the costs of the Sailor and Artillery units,
changed the pre-req,
changed the obsolete tech,
changed the attack and defense factors,
made the Sailor buildable at start and give the obsolete tech by events


Nothing works. Help!

Tis is strange, as it worked perfectly before!
