History PBEM

You'll find it on this page:

http://www.civfanatics.com/civ2downloads.shtml

It's near the bottom and called "Multiplayer Gold Edition: v1.3 US ".

Once again a reference to Civfanatics!!! Sorry sorry sorry

Actually, you don't need it to play the pbem itself, but I've been told that 99% (or even more now that I joined the crowd ) of the people playing multiplayer use it!

So, if once during the game you need to play online with someone else (to trade techs, or cities, or whatever) and his game is patched (high probability), you need the patch for compatibility reasons!

So, once again, you don't need it now, but in case of online trading, check with the other player before whether he uses the patch, and if yes... just patch your game!!

[Darius871]

Yes, he's got the russians, I've got the Turks.

[Jacobite1688]

Scott ?

[sas]

Can we please kick Scott out of this game and get a new player ?

He's not an active enough player to participate in a PBEM game.
I emailed him 3 days ago, telling him to make his move.

What is really annoying it the fact that his last posting in Apolyton Forum was 24-05-2002 17:52. 2 days ago, meanig he's active in the forum but not in the game.

[Scott F]

I have been conversing with the new Russian player. Diplomacy is difficult when internet access is limited and players change with each round of the game.

[Darius871]

No news except a trade route established in Liege, and the Austrian Navy's further advance to retrieve their troops that once garrisoned Libya.

Breaking News From Russia:

From St. Petersburg, a statement was issued:
By order of, by the Grace of GOD, His Most Excellent Imperial Majesty, Nicholas II, Czar of Holy Russia, Defender of the Orthodox Faith and Protector of the Slavonic Peoples of Europe, I, Count Jacobite, accept my appointment as head of the Duma. The Emperor is a simple, honest and pius Soverign, but the civil unrest which led to the creation of Mother Russia's first Duma and our late tragic war with the Japanese has soured His Most Excellent Imperial Majesty on the international duties of Empire. I have spoken with him at length on this matter and, after much thought,

Holy Russia WILL, as of this moment, return to Her seat in the Leauge of Nations.

His Most Excellent Imperial Majesty would like to see more clear of a mandate for the Leauge and perhaps even a written constitution. Mother Russia will take a leading role in these activites. That having been said, the Warsaw Pact that was announced by the late administration is a protective alliance between Holy Russia and representatives of the peoples of Eastern Europe. Members as of this time include:

-The Empire of Russia, including Finland, Poland, Bessarabia, Kuban and Armenia.

-Poles living in Hapsburg and Hohenzollern dominions.

-Czechs, Moravians and Slovaks living in the same.

-Wends in the German Empire .

-Slovenes, Serbs and Croats living in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

-All those adhering to the Orthodox Faith of ST. CONSTANTINE THE GREAT who reside in the Austro-Hungarian, the British or the Ottoman Empires.

This statement is NOT to be taken as a territorial claim by the Empire of Russia of any kind. The Warsaw Pact exists soley to foster the Pan-Slavonic movement and to insure religious freedom for members of the Orthodox Church. Holy Russia's return to the Leauge of Nations will hopefully demonstrate our desire for peaceful solutions to international problems. In the most Christian name of The Czar, I accept the German proposal for the renunciation of war. However, His Most Excellent Imperial Majesty will only sign such a document after the other six powers have agreed to it. Russia has sworn in the Warsaw Pact to protect many peoples and will not, no - cannot - forgo those promises if Her children are faced with the spectre of violence from their own rulers or a foreign power.

The late success in Spain proves diplomacy can, indeed, must work. Europe can not stand another war for it would be the bloodiest in the history of the world. That touchs on the purpose of the Warsaw Pact. While peace reigns, Mother Russia will be a friend and leader to all Her brothers in Europe. Yet, if any peoples of the Warsaw Pact are brought into harm's way by Turk or Western leaders, our GOD will place HIS terrible, swift sword in the hands of the undefeatable Czar. Western nations, do not forget the lesson of Lake Peipus.

God Bless You All,
GOD SAVE THE CZAR!

If Russia has so great an affinity for the Poles and Wends, Berlin will gladly finance the peaceful and voluntary relocation any family of such ethnicity that wishes to move to Russia.

(Historical aside not related to the game: This is not to say that in real life history that the catholic Poles would want to move to Russia, the most orthodox, autocratic, and backwards country on earth. Nor is it to say that the Germans wouldn't like to be rid of them.)

[The ANZAC]

The British Empire welcomes the new Head of the Duma! Hopefully, there will be understanding and collaboration in the future.

[Darius871]

Man I did this turn awhile ago and just realized to post it.

Transcript of a speech delivered by Count Jacobite before the Leauge of Nations:

My Good Comrades,
Some of the Nations represented here today have, in the past, dismissed Holy Russia as being a backwards Sovereignty. Well, I am pleased to tell you all that industrialization and modernization continues apace in Mother Russia. More factories, mills, and railroad lines are completed every year in our greatest-of-all-Empires. Holy Russia has begun to pursue a policy of expanding international trade peacefully. Towards this end, our industrial might has been thrown full force into producing freight.

I also would like to take this time to inform you all that the Imperial Navy is performing a training operation in the Eastern Mediterranean. This should alarm none of your governments and it should conclude next year. A more serious matter has been the level and nature of the rhetoric issuing from Sweden concerning the Finnish peoples. I would like to remind the League that Holy Russia has sworn to protect the Finnish people in our Warsaw Pact. His Most Excellent Imperial Majesty, the Czar, has directed the Imperial Navy to completely blockade the port of Calmar. I am here to inform the League that the Swedish nation, only in existence for less then a year, may not yet be ready for self-government. They are taking the path that will make them into a rogue state, forever threatening the peace of the Finnish people, Holy Russia and all of Europe. I have to tell you now, I have come to you today to seek the League's approval for military action against Sweden on the part of the Empire of Russia. If any member objects to this, I can offer ample proof of the case I have just made. These actions will take place as early as next year. At your nearest opportunity, inform me of the League's decision, that I may pass it on to His Most Excellent Imperial Majesty. The safety of our people in Finland depends on your opinions.

God Bless You All,
GOD SAVE THE CZAR!
