Have you people ever heard of "warforums"?

[Henrik]

PARIS FALLS!!!
As panzerkampfwagens where parading the Champse Elysees, the officials in Paris signed the capitulation of the city.
A third of france has now been occupied, and Field Marshal Heinrich von Efst is confident that within the end of next two months all of France will be under german controll.

A picture of der Fürher after he has been handed Paris by Field Marshal Heinrich.
Field Marshal Heinrich was awarded the Ritterkreuz des Eisernes Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub for his excelent comanding of the german invassion.




Germany now controlls all of the Be-Ne-Lux area, as well as all of north-eastern and parts of central france, no german units are as of yet reported missing in action.
A major allied force in Dunkerque was overrun and later surrendered to the superior german forces after intense fighting in the area.

Surrendered brittish soldiers are escorted away by german soldiers...

In the north an enemy force in Norway surendered after a short bombardment from the Luftwaffe...

High amounts of allied ships sunk in the atlantic and the North Sea...
As of now only brittish and french ships are targeted...


A brittish freighter hit by a german torpedos

The undefeated german wermacht is preparing to strike the finall and fatal blow to the degenerated republic of France. An allied counter invassion is expected in Norway, but it will undoubtly be repulsed quickly!

Meanwhile diplomatic activity in the Kremlin and in Berlin has been increasing the last few days, the russian and german foreign ministers are meeting, discussing secret afairs...
The Soviet Unions official stance towards the german attack is not yet known though, Stalin is said to be in a state of shock...
After hearing about the invassion Yugoslavia canceled her treaty with germany and thier priviously rather warm relationship has gone increasingly colder...
The German foreign minister von Ribbentrop has continually asked for a private audiance with the ruler of Yugoslavia since he feels that new treaties could be made, but as of yet this has been in vain.
It is belived that the ruler is currently ill and that the recent diplomatic tensions are the effect of his ill-informed ministers.
Germany urges him to personaly contact the german foreign minister for more information on future treaties.

and the save itself:

[WarVoid]

Ok, I downloaded both of Henrik's files there. The save zip and the event's document.

Now, which file am I supposed to replace with the new event's file? The one that's created after I run the batch file?

And, can we get a list of how the turns run? IE Henrik plays first, FMK second, etc. etc..

I think i'm missing something else but I can't remember it at the moment.

[isaac brock]

you replace the events text that came with the scenerio, but make a backup of the original so you can play normally without dplomacy if you want to.

also, the list of e-mails at the top of this page are in the order of how the turns go so it is jugoslavia's turn now and then it is your turn.

[Grothgar]

actually what you do is just setup the game and then copy henriks file into the directory because this only overrules the events being used by the bat file and this creates a backup anyway

[WarVoid]

Ahh, cool. I got it now, I think.

[Grothgar]

woohoo me next after mr warvoid. the might of spannish power will be used to crush its enemies

[jerkwaterbox]

Make sure you have the 'Wait at the end of Turn' thingy checked under the game options (i think). Now, move all your pieces, manage all your production etc. You are now done with your turn. There will be a white, flashing 'Hit Enter to End Turn' text blinking in the lower-right corner of the screen. Now, hit 'Cntrl-N' (it will look like nothing has happened, same blinking text message will be there). You have now cancelled all the movement points for anyof your units that remained fortified through the course of the turn and which remain so at the end of the turn. If you don't do this, the AI will send them out of your cities, and the production of the cities will be changed as well (read: Very Bad! ). Now go to 'Set Password' (under the file menu) and set a password for you Civ. Now save the game, and viola! Pass the save (which is actually a '.net' file) along!

Your map will be showing and your game will be opened while you are doing this, but you turn has ended. When the next player loads up the game he will chose his Civ, and he will not see any of your information. The adding of the password ensures this.

But note: As I found out the hard way... Remember your password!!! If you loose it, there isn't even a way to hack into the game so as to retrieve your Civ. Unfortunately you'll have to relinquish command of your Civ to the AI after that.

Hope that clears it up...

i can't save as a .net! what is the deal?

[WarVoid]

Ok, slight problem. Suddenly my extremely old and crappy comp has decided that it don't wanna let me run MGE on it anymore. Keeps giving me general protection faults, CD burnouts and a bunch of other crap. SO....

I'm gonna sneak the CD into work tomorrow and install MGE at my workstation. No doubt this could get me fired but a game of Civ is worth living in a box in central park.

So, needless to say, if I don't get the saved game back to everyone (once JWB gets done with it) in a couple of days (two or three at most), don't shoot me.

I'm also gonna try and install it on this even crappier laptop and hope it don't lock up....
