New Premier Sworn in!

Delivers First Speech Suggesting Changes of Direction

In a ceremony held today Mr Case today was sworn in as the new premier of Spain.
In his first official speech he hinted at the reforms he intended to bring in during his first term in office.
After praising his predecessors policy of neutrality, Premier Case went on to state that "times do change, and so should our foreign policy. The ambassadors of all the great nations of Europe are hereby invited to submit offers of alliance, safe in the knowledge that their proposals will get a fair hearing".
After concluding his comments on foreign policy Mr Case went on to outline his plans for economic development, stating that "while Spain enjoys financial security, our productivity is amongst the worst in Europe, and as machines will decide war in the not to distant future, Spain must industrialise or face disaster."

Public Celebrations Encouraged

To celebrate the change of Government, Mr Case announced that the nations wealth would be reallocated from "the lazy, pointless eggheads to the decent and hard working population at large". This move is expected to cause a population boom in the next few months.

The Arts Flurish in Nova Franca!

After the brief, yet devistating battle for France, CEU capital is being poured into the French province of Nova Franca, in northern France, Particularly Paris. A new chapel, boasting the finest art has been completed, and is said to be the paramor of modern art and faith. While the art side is not to be doubted, this editor has to laugh considering the illegitamacy rate connected to the priests is atrociusly high.

Wine Imports Enibriate Happy Austrians

South Central France, now Gallia Vinorum, is begining to export their wine again for the first time since the begining of the battle of France. However, an Austrian multi millionare purchased all the vintage, giving to the Austrian public half the bottles, while holding on to the other half to age and sell to Americans who would like to own a 'piece of history'. It seems that this practice has boosted this man's popularity among the public, thus insuring him a seat in the next senate. This editor wishes to say that he finds this a reprehensible practice and will only shut up once he is bribed himself. After all, this is for morals.

Drunken Austrians prolong Police Protection Act

The hiatus caused by the enibriating effects of mass amounts of wine has forced the House of Representatives to prolong the emmergancy Police Protection Executive Order (#9)which was to expire last month. PEON was initiated during the spitwad riots caused by malitious French and German rabble-rousers. While most cities have been pacified, a few, like the Austrian town of Ghartonburg, still resist reason with the help of Lady Liquor. While responsibly drinking a glass of Burgundy, Ioannes I commented, 'I would hate to have to enact a prohabition law, but unless things settle down, such measures may be taken in certain districts that use the substance irresponsibly.'

Nothing new

(Bumpity Bump)

Oh, and as a side note, Exile, if your still around,

I was thinking that mabey, in an mp game like this that civ2 rails should be gone altogether, that way one has to be more careful about troop alocation and Blitzes are much harder. And to compensate, the road modifier can be increased to at least six or something. Then, if you want, you can use railroads to modify mines and such with cute graphics for industrial sites. Probably a bit late to do that with this game, but I'd like to see if that'll work for later versions of the game.

Right nothing really happened in britains turn, the fleets are moving, trading caravans have docked in rome. Oh yeah and british cartographers have created a new map at germanys incistence to show all the nations.

[Grothgar]

The new map, damn germans

[Henrik]

The Italian Society of Geography would like to know how the British cartographers determined the "countries" to show on the map.
For example, nations are shown that we have no knowladge of even when looking at our oldest maps

(that is: most of the countries on your map, for example Ukraine did not exist at this time, nor had they ever existed in history)

Perhaps you should restrain yourself to showing borders as they looked either when the game begun or as they have looked before that. (leaving out nations (and borders for nations) that didn't exist before ww1/2...)
