I vote: Yes

We haven't even one round through so it's no big deal to start new. And further more it's a playtest where you discover some weaknesses in a scen, replace them and then start new. I know some PBEM's where people had to restart 3to4 times Was a very funny thing for the 1st to start all the time the same scen

Btw Stephan i think that a suitanle graphic for the new trade unit under discussion would be the freight of the WW1 microprose scenario in conflicts in civilization.

Its perfect!

Oh and place some embasies.Its frustrating not being able to see your allies' looses.

[Nilat]

Oh yeah, I had to say that before but I forgot.
Embasies would be very nice

Hi guys, I´m back!

Ok, I read and understood your demands. It seems that it takes a little longer to make these changes ..... Let me see: I try to get these things done as fast as possible but I want to make clear that it may take until Fridya or even Saturday. If you guys are willing to wait ..... Regards

Ok, I made some changes to the game but I´m afraid you need to download the latest version in the Scenario Creation Section .....

* I eliminated the Swiss Army and included an Egineer unit.

* I pepped the US Economy a bit up ......

* I made the units cheaper.

* And gave the scenario additional graphical power ..... or at least I hope so.

* Sorry guys, no embassies. In case of war the ambassadors left the foreign capitals so I don´t know and understand why this should be different here?!

* Sorry guys, Part 2: No additional unit slot for a trade unit but I think the engineer will do it too.

=> Update your versions please and get this thing started again.

@ academia: I hopo these changes are enough to get you back on board!

So, shall I start again?

[Nilat]

And is the events file in the new version a pbem events.txt file?

Ok and be prepared for restarting the game a few times more. You never know

Mmm... these new graphics... those small houses.
it looks like simcity graphics, doesn´t it?

Ok. Count me in

[academia]

I strongly suggest you to include city walls in the small cities (less than 4-5 population)
You always lose population after one of your defensive units is destroyed... in case of constant attacks, after 2 or 3 turns, the city maybe destroyed.
Take it into account

[academia]

I still think you MUST reduce the number of shields per row!!! 20 is too much!!! seriously...
Rushbuilding units/improvements is TOO EXPENSIVE!!!

I noticed a similar situation in my iron curtain game... i saw that the rows have 12 shields per turn; and in some cases i found it too much. So, i decided to cut it down to 10 in the future version.
Really, it harms the possibility of rushbuilding things.

[Nilat]

So I wont start yet?
