2194 days was fantastic.
Also the alien invasion scenario in cic was pretty good. Especially playing the humans was interesting.

[Captain Nemo]

IMHO, my new scenario, Red Front, is 10 times better than 2194 Days of War (Which I also made). Play Red Front (Made for FW) and it should blow away everything you think you know about scenarios! It's difficult, historical, addictive and completely new. Warning, it's a WW2 Russian front with a big map, many units and all kinds of twists!

My favorites (excluding my own) are:

Spartacus (AlexMor)
Alba de America (Jesus)
Quebec (AlexMor)

Ahhh, Mr. Nemo
It is a pleasure to be in the presence of greatness.
Your 2194 Days is SWEET!!!!
Nothing like Belgrade pumping out Me262's every 2 turns!!!

I had a problem when the axis discovered Radar. Internet Explorer of all things cause the program to shut down.....hrs and hrs down the tubes.
So the next time, I researched everything except Radar and then purposely destroyed(sold) all my scientific production before it could shut off.
Also, why do empty American Liberty ships arrive every turn off the French coast after "Overlord"? I repelled the initial invasion, if they gained a foothold do the ships just pour out units? They were easy targets for my JU87's and I even threw a few 262's at 'em.
Beyond that, 2194 is the greatest thing since sliced bread for me. Best units I've ever seen. I love it and you are a Master.
Red Front will be better? Is that possible?!?


PS- the mountain fortress East of Moscow was key to hold the waves of tanks from the Soviet heartland. I'm Ukranian so it was tough to see all of my bretheren slaghtered, but I laughed all the way to victory. Keep up the stellar work.

Ah WW79, loved it. I played Russia, and immediately made allies with... (whatever the western europe civ was), amazing how quickly they acted to join with me. Of course it was all a prelude to getting my units into place outside of all their cities to take it all in ONE turn (muahahahaha). The rest was a total nuclear nightmare. Great fun!

Well, I tried Red Front boys. Indeed it is 10 times BETTER than 2194Dayso'War. Also it's 10 times, no, 20 times harder!
Captain Nemo and Alex do a truly impressive job at building scenarios.
Red Front was packed full of all these dope events and All kins of new units and terrain. And best of all there is a REAL strategy! You have to be good to win. Really good. The map is huge, leading to a realistic front with buldges and pockets of action.

Field Marshal Klesh:
Just saw your posts, thanks for the endorsements. Red Front 1.4 is just about ready for release and it should fix most of the loose ends of the previous version(s). It also has about 20 new units and a separate American Civ that enters the game in 1944.

Regarding the crash of 2194 Days of War, it is as you noted related to completing all research goals...I should not have disabled the Future Tech which is designed to insure that players never run out of research goals. I am planning a revised version of 2194 Days of War incorporating the better graphics of Red Front.

BTW how did you do on Red Front?

[klesh]

Captain Nemo,

Well, I survived the summer of '41 and that was about it! I was able to defend the Caucus region. But I did experience the fall of Leningrad, and then Moscow. Stalingrad remained out of reach.
I am an ashamed Ukrainian. The Fall of Kiev was hard to watch. I loved the concept of refugees, and ABSOLUTELY LOVED the summer/winter change. One must take full advantage of the winter to drive back those Krauts.
I gave up in early '43, and am going to start it up again. I usually play on Prince, or King if i'm feelin' frisky. But this one is sooo hard I may have to step it down. I'm glad to hear that the 2194Days crash thing wasn't my fault. I hestated to end every turn on RedFront fearing the inevitable crash that never came. I'm glad to hear that it wont happen on RF.
Can't wait for 1.4, you guys do a stellar job. So many cool things that I can't even mention them all. Loved "destroying" German concentration camps
and the tons of pop up events. How long does it take for you two to get these scenarios made? Must be months....but I will tell you that both 2194DaysofWar and Red Front have given me hours and hours of enjoyment. I play them more than the actual CivII!
If I may make a suggestion...one thing to fix on 1.4 would be the write up on some of the wonders. It extends past the bottom of the screen and you sometimes can't tell what the effects of the wonder will be. Other than that.....BOOOYA sweet scenario!!!

As I said before, keep up the stellar work!
I even have the title.gif set as my desktop pattern!

Field Marshal Klesh:

I am surprised that the wonder text runs off the page... It definitely doesn't on my game... I "wonder" if there is a way to set the fonts or if the fonts get bigger if you are playing in a higher zoom that "Normal"
Were you able to see the entire text of the Operation Barbarossa opening screen?

Regarding the time cost of RedFront it is really tremendous... Probably 2-3 times as long to make as 2194 Days of War which alredy took months of concentrated effort. RedFront probably has over 1000 hours of work in it. I've been at it for almost a year...And I've had a lot of help.

[klesh]

Captain Nemo,

The opening screen explainin gthe game is fine, I quick checked the wonders by starting as Germany(to avoid the wait of the opening round) and these are the Wonder-write-ups that gave me problems:

-Civillian Donations
-Electrification
-German-Finnish Solidarity
-NKVD Intelligence Agency
-Naval Convoy System
-Nuremburg Rallies
-Socialist Pragmatism
-T-34 Upgrade
-Tankograd
-Waffen-SS

As I said, you can read most of it, just the bottoms get clipped off. I'm not sure about the font size thing, I'm playing at normal zoom. That is, I haven't changed anything myself, so it's whatever the fonts are set to. I don't make scenarios myself, as they seem to be too complecated to make a good one that I'd be proud of. If I did make them, or when I start to, yours will be the measuring stick by which I judge mine.

I'd love to test out anything you need testing on. Playtest 1.4 for anything that may glitch up. I'm sure you already have whomever you need for that, but if you need me, my email is on my profile.

Maybe there is a setting for the pop-up window size, and Captain Nemo's default setting is bigger than the rest of us.

I'm playing 2194days now as Hitler. I was able to wipe out the Soviet Union in 4 turns, now want to reduce it to 3.
