Soviet Steel - Join In The Construction!

[Boco]

Hehehe. You could skip that worthless civilization USA, the only thing good that comes out of there is Simpsons

What you need is an 'anti-wonder' called US TV (riktigt äckligt). All other civs get a science WoW, as Americans turn into drooling couch potatoes. Some of those WoW's expire when Bart Simpson is discovered.

Wasn't the destruction of the Northern iron mines a key component of the cold war Swedish defense plan? Or was that just against the steel-starved Axis during WWII?

I was impressed long ago by a photo of a Viggen taking off from a superhighway. Sort of an instant airfield.

Boco are you swedish?
I never realized

Suddenly it seems these boards are full of us

It seems that the "Scenario League / Civ2-Creation" Forum is as much the lair of the Swedes than the OT forum is the one of the Finns...

[Henrik]

Indeed!

[curtsibling]

I might give my Northern brothers in Scandinavia a special wonder for themselves in Soviet Steel!

Any ideas?

You're right.. im the only finn here and in civ2 pbem
But im a finn that speaks both Swedish and Finnish

I might give my Northern brothers in Scandinavia a special wonder for themselves in Soviet Steel!

Any ideas?

Why not Tre kronor in Stockholm or Mannerheim in Helsinki!

Only "Norrlänningar" eats lutfisk I don't like the smell or taste of it :P

Swedish neutrality?
The Swedish/Norwegian Iron Fields where important during ww2 so I suppose they still would be during this scenario (Colosus? King Richards Crusade?)
Not sure about when the Norwegians managed to start drilling oil in their ocean but that should've become an objective for anyone fighting war in Europe as well I suppose...
I suppose weapons industries like Bofors could be a wonder as well...

I'm a "skåning" and while I agree about the smell I like the taste

Welll Skåne rules, we all know that.

But back to topic. I agree with Henrik that the iron minefields in northern Sweden could be a wonder. I don't think the Norweigans drilled so much oil during this timeperiod but that's also another option for a wonder.

Most people I know feel this way. Except my father, who in all of his travels has become jaded from exotic food

To get this thread off the "death to America" track and back on to the "hey, let's talk about the topic" I'm wondering, how's the scenario going, Curt?

Got any idea on a public release?

[EZRhino]

Please tell me what you mean when you say that this thread is on the "death to america track".

[techumseh]

If you've ever eaten Minnesotan Lutfisk, you'll know what "Death to America" feels like!

Gentlemen, let's forget crappy politics and talk scenarios.

OK, progress update:

People graphics are done and I am just about done on the units.
I am also going to design a new city graphics...
The Rules and Events are next. (I am happy to use any contributions for events if you submit them!)
After that I will be adding units and features to the map.

Then it will be playtest time!

PS
I think the 'Bofors Corporation' will be a wonder for the Karrelian region...
