no bribes, no nukes and
magogs (at least the strongest units (air and land))are not allowed for human player.

compensate large scale effects-house rules.
Only despotism/monarchy allowed for human player. (If the human player owns more cities than the best AI civ he had to change to despotism).
Only a few attacking units for the human player, until 100 AI cities only 20 human attacking units allowed or so.

But this will not solve the main problem; the bad AI vs. experienced players. The game will only last longer, because its more time consuming, if fighting with weaker/less units.

I finally have MGE/FW So I would be up for almost any game provided I can find the scenario on-line.

I'm doing the one thing I always promised I would do after upgrading: playing Red Front That might make a good succession game. And if you want a challenge we could play as the Swedes

RF is a good idea. But the scen is not designed to play as the Swedes.
The german AI will overrun the AI-USSR within a few turns. The interesting features would be lost in this way.

I have some sugestions for the rules: dont found cities on fortifications,
dont move fortifications,
dont rehome fortifications.
In this way the human player gets a lot more trouble.
STYOM would you open a new thread.

Well another succession game is starting.
I like the idea of red front. I don't have the scenario yet either.
I propose we start it later.

Hey Thoddy - I thought that RF had given plenty of problems to even the top players before it was 'sussed' and I for one have not read the 'walkthroughs' - do we really need to toughen it up??

I'm getting my a** handed to me by Red Front currently; that's why I didn't start a game. No point starting a game and making a lot of dumb mistakes. I like the idea of playing RF once I know what I'm doing. No, I don't think it need be any tougher - I'm a shaky Deity player anyway!

In this case the german Blitzkrieg stops at the line Riga, Smolensk, Kiew Odessa, if I begin the game.

Sounds good, except that right now, it's not that I'm trying to compete against the AI in RF, I'm trying to determine which to use of my Red Army/T-26 tanks/Partisans units to defend with (if any)! In other words, playing with me right now would be be like playing 2.42 with someone who thought chariots were better defenders than pikemen

But give me a bit of time to play it a couple of times, and I'm in, Thoddy. Maybe when Julius has the scenario, one of you two could start and I could jump in?
