I just saw something so beautiful, words cannot describe it!

The AI Germans captured MOSCOW!

I'm playing as Vichy France right now on Deity. I've seized Iraq and Kuwait, and I'm planning on bulldozing through the mountains to Teheran and seize the Baku oilfields!

Also, as a prize, I captured the British Mandate and the Suez Canal!

Now, my ships are sailing to the western front... not in Europe, but AMERICA!

I've demolished the shipyards at Norfolk, seized the Baku oilfields, and now Petain can pay his visit to America and stay at the Maison Blanche...

Also, while I was digging around, I found this old postcard...

I can email any you are missing...

Sacré bleu!!!

You have indeed gave WW2 quite a different turn!
Nice work! It's good to see that with the new stats,
even the most underdog of the civs can still triumph!

Although I suspect your very skilled gameplay also was
a factor too! BTW - Did the Germans hold onto Moscow?

[civ2units]

After I was killed by Stalin because of my disastrous homeland defence I went to Italy and joined their army. It´s now february 1942 and Egypt is under my control. It´s time to rebuild the Roman Empire.

@rmsharpe:
Very interesting what you conquered with the French. I´m planning this one too with the Italians.

[curtsibling]

Would everyone say that the battles and balance are OK?

It's not too easy is it?

They're holding onto Moscow, yes. In fact, they've captured Gorky and are still moving east. It was quite a race to beat them to Baku!

The Germans have also now taken Leningrad and secured most of the northwest area... Finland or Germany needs to take Murmansk still.

Plus, as one of the cities in N. Africa was destroyed after heavy fighting (not my fault) I decided to build a city in honor of France's victory.

France has thus reclaimed Corsica! I built Ajaccio over the urban tile.

Too bad we can't trade cities (at least, in game) because I wouldn't mind exchanging Tehran or the Suez Canal for Paris!

Oh sorry, I´ve written in the wrong thread. Is it possible to switching it into the "Industrial Graphic" thread?

[curtsibling]

I've quoted you into the Industrial thread, and deleted the request here.

Feel free to copy and paste up the request in that thread, so it is in your own post.

And I'll delete my quote post.

It would be awesome if CIV2 had more tribes or the ability for city trades, and some of the features that came with CIV3 and CIV4...

I love CIV2, but sometimes I yearn to have more out of the game system...Will that source code ever be released???

Old chap, your google mail is buggered.

Will I send to the other FSnet address?

[civ2units]

I played now until September 1944, the Allies started their not so successfully invasion on Italy. Palermo, Messina and Naples now under their control. But I have destroyed most of the Allied army. The complete Middle Eastern is under my control. German forces attempts to conquer the last Soviet city on this map.

Two maybe bugs I´ve found:
Since I´ve researched Mobile Artillery II I can´t build the Assault Gun.
Germany was victorious during the battle of Stalingrad. On every summer or winter file since 1943 Civ shows me the message. I don´t know if the programm also generate everytime the Wolga Waffen SS

For me the unit stats are very good. It´s really a challenge to play with the minor civs.

Europe in September 1944

Seems OK - I have just checked and I have a test mail from you sent at 8 this morning. Sent myself one from my work notes account and that arrived OK, so I can only assume it was a temporary glitch....

The fsnet addy is long dead mate btw.

[curtsibling]

I sent some links to the files for you!
