look in your PM box Curt!

Curt this looks pretty interesting but Im wondering why no trade units? Its a good way to force a Battle of the Atlantic (The USA trying to get trade to Britian and Russia and vice versa) by simulating Lend Lease.

Trade units make technological advancement so much easier. In Curt's prior games, I've had jet fighters in 1940 :P

[curtsibling]

I can say that I have made many tests with the tech paradigm,
and I will say that the level of tech research is quite good.

And you wont get jets by 1940. (even though the scenario starts in that year... )
You might get them by 1943, still early enough to make a real impact!

The challenge of DV2 is to pick the most useful weapon for your situation and research it's components, till you get it.

I would love to have more tech-slots to simulate more aspects, but you use what you get in CIV2.

Trade units are a pest.
The AI will build a trillion useless trade trucks for no reason.
This is about strategic war, trade is handled via events.
Wouldn't you rather have the nice I-16 Polikarpov that has taken the place of the trade truck?

Getting those troop carriers to and from Europe/USA will be tough, I can assure you!

Actually given the choise of a truck or a polikarpov I'd go with the truck as it isn't as dangerous for it's driver

[curtsibling]

A truck won't stop the Me109s!

[jim panse]

when it will be downloadable

[FiGu]

Yeah, when will it be downloadable?

PS: look into your pm box!!!

[FiGu]

hmm.. where is the .scn file???!??

[Cifer Almasy]

Yeah! I will playtest as much as I can!
Dont have to much time at the moment cause I am working for three months 9 hours a day - but if I find time for Civ2 I know what scen I will play.

Youre a Civ2 - Scenario God!

Its time to ... arty:

???? where is the link?

Edit: I found it!

[Cifer Almasy]

Ok... just took a tiny little look at it yet.
First: Why does the Soviet Union declare war on me if I attack Belgrad? Wasnt it just the trigger for the operation Barbarossa in the "normal" dictator version or is there a historical background?
Second... ... the voice of the Waffen SS Commandant sounds a little strange... (you know - I am German) perhaps if you would like, I could send you an original selfmade sound. You just would have to tell me if you have a special wish for the sound. The thing is that the Waffen SS were stormtroopers. But the Commandant says: "unter Beschuss - wir brauchen Hilfe!" Thats like: "we are under (?) fire (someone shoots at you ) - we need help. But thats perhaps kind of to defending imho. What about "Sturmtruppen Angriff!" or something else. Perhaps you know some original phrases - I dont know...

Ok, thats my first little remark!
oh... +++ Operation Seelöwe!

edit: Berlin has a higher production then Cologne... not that much, but a little

Bye
