sounds neat ;-)

That how a proper WW2 scenario should be like.

That is why the microprose WW2 scenario remains the best of its kind. Although having no new units or techs the f.e Axis player has the option of invading england or not, of breaking the peace with Russia or whatever.

Flexibility of options truly make a scenario civ-like.

IIRC i had proposed something similar for your Dict II scenario(What if scenarios-invasion of Gibraltar and assistance of the Italian fleet in operation sea lion, Capture of Egypt etc..).

**Palaiologos** · June 10, 2003, 08:42

BTW i take it this scenario will begin around early 1930s?

And what of diplomacy? flexibility of options means that negotiations will be allowed, but that also means that Brits could storm Moscow with Panther tanks.

P.S check your e-mails and PMs curt, i have sent several.

**curtsibling** · June 10, 2003, 09:11

Checking those PMs, Pericles!

A pity the CIV2 engine is limited, but it is still a good basis!

I wish I have more tech and unit slots to play with, and bigger event files!

I think the ToT version of Dictator III will begin soon!

PS
The scenario has a Jun 1940 start.
The diplomacy for SP will be off, to prevent the UK demanding those Panthers.

But in an PBEM, thing can be changed...

Nice, Curt! I've been starting to make on thoose units that you asked me to.

Could you please get that MSN on?

**rmsharpe** · June 10, 2003, 09:34

Concerning the following improvements:

Russia – Politbureau (actually, I believe it's spelled "politburo")

Russia – Gulag

Now, the politburo isn't going to be the Courthouse improvement and the Gulag the Police Station, right? Because, this effectively makes these two useless if the Russian government under Stalin is going to be a dictatorship. Under war command, though, the politburo might have some use (assuming there is corruption under war command) but perhaps it could be better applied as an all-around courthouse-style building?

**Cifer Almasy** · June 10, 2003, 11:33

Me me me! Let me playtest! Thats exactly what I always wished to have!

**curtsibling** · June 10, 2003, 12:35

Mr Sharpe, worry ye not!

Stalin's evil empire is under 'war command' government!

Now you can make use of Gulags to throw those rioting citizens into!

Only the minor civ (neutrals/easterns) are fundy govs.

**FiGu** · June 10, 2003, 14:32

I want to playtest too!!!

**curtsibling** · June 10, 2003, 16:21

@Cifer:
@Figu:

You are more than welcome!

**Iron Chancellor** · June 10, 2003, 23:49

Curt, buddy, pal...you wouldn't forget a friend like me, would you?

Can't wait, and if you need any more help, lemme know!

**curtsibling** · June 11, 2003, 04:50

@Iron Chancellor: Nice one!

I'll post it today at some point!

**jim panse** · June 11, 2003, 05:20

i want to try this out too

**curtsibling** · June 11, 2003, 07:42

@Jim - Sure!

It will be released at midnight UK time!

I have some last minute txt files to change!
But it is looking rather good, when I played today!
The balance is working well.

A quick question for all:
If I want to change the empire/leader name of a civ from the rules.txt,
should I change the city.txt values too?

I am making use of the split empire thing to break the USSR if Moscow is lost...
For the first time, the AI-controlled 3rd Reich captured it in Dec 1943 during my last game.
The faction split and the mongols were created.
I want to make them the anti-stalin 'Mencheviks' or'Democrats'...or something.

This would involve renaming the Sioux and Mongols in rules.txt, how do I do this?

Cheers in advance...
