V2 Ready To Launch - This Means War!

[curtsibling]

Thanx for pointing that one out guys!
The glitch is fixed!

When I began a new map to make the scn, the CIV2 game allocates a few spare techs to the civs.

I must have missed that one tech the Japanese had!

A new zip is up on the 1st page!
(I have also made some changes to the tech tree proper, and added the Me264 Amerika instead of the Me163.

I think Germany lacked a decent 'what-if' bomber weapon....

[Cifer Almasy]

sorry for sliding OT but... @Curt: Check your PM!

[curtsibling]

OK!

I just want to make a quick mention of how amazing Civ-Converter is!

Angelo Scotto deserves some kind of CIV medal for his work.
This program also saves games/events/rules.txt files into a ToT friendly, but mega-adapatable format!

It means you can create a rules file for ToT, based on MGE.
But you can add the ToT special flags: (like custom sounds for every unit and special unit powers)

Simply superb!

Curt, I've been playing Dictador 2, and I think that the Japanese infantry is way too powerful. Using Infantry (specially the Anfibious hability), with only one or two artillery and many bomb and figthers, I've been able to conquer all Asia, plus Egypt and the middle of America without any single problem...

Hey!

Maybe you are just very good at civ!

I'll give it a test tonight, and if I find it too easy, I'll scale the sons of the emperor back a bit.

Or pehaps make the US troops tougher....

Cheers, Yaroslav!

Another tech. issue: one of the prerequisites for "Heavy Panzer Design I" is "Henschel Turret Armour" for which one of the prerequisites is "Heavy Panzer Design I" So doesn't that mean that it is impossible for Germany to research this?

[curtsibling]

Oops!

I'll check that out!
If a new tech tree edit is needed, I'll post a new zip!

Cheers!

[curtsibling]

Actually, after checking:
I found that you are referring to 'Heavy Panzer II'

The turret amrour tech leads on from researching the Tiger I.
You can't begin to research the Tiger II, unitl you create the Tiger I!

The heavy panzer line begins, thus:

Electro-Welded Armour, 1, 0, Fun, nil, 1, 3 ; Met
Heavy Panzer Design I, 1, 0, Met, Las, 1, 3 ; Eng 25

Then onto:

Henschel Turret Armour, 1, 0, Eng, nil, 2, 3 ; Las
Olvar Hydraulic System, 1, 0, Las, nil, 1, 3 ; Env
Heavy Panzer Design II, 1, 0, Env, nil, 1, 3 ; Phy

Hope this clarifies!
(had me worried for a minute there!)

I'm not totaly au fait with rules.txt notation, but if I'm reading it right then my original problem still stands:

Heavy Panzer Design I, 1, 0, Met, Las, 1, 3 ; Eng 25

So one of the prerequisites of Heavy Panzer Design I (Engineering) is Henschel Turret Armour (Laser).

Henschel Turret Armour, 1, 0, Eng, nil, 2, 3 ; Las

And Henschel Turret Armour's prerequisite is Heavy Panzer Design I (Engineering).

the "Heavy Panzer Design I" line should read:
Heavy Panzer Design I, 1, 0, Met, nil, 1, 3 ; Eng 25

Should it not?

[curtsibling]

I have the rules in front of me dude, they read the way I posted them!

Tell ya what,
perhaps you have an outdated version, so I will repost the zip and you grab the latest build!

Should solve this little glitch!

[Palaiologos]

Curt, greeny is absolutely correct.

[curtsibling]

Wow!

Bug spotted!
Las was a 2nd preq of the tech!
This one had me scratching my head!

For I quick fix copy this line over the line for the tech - 'Eng'

Heavy Panzer Design I, 1, 0, Met, nil, 1, 3 ; Eng 25

Thanks for hunting that one down for me, chaps!

Meanwhile, I'll fix that zip!

PS
Pericles I'm still on the case with your icons!
(Just had a 45 page comic novella to re-pencil this week!)

[curtsibling]

A New zip is uploaded!
Contains fixed rules.

[greeny]

Glad I could help

[curtsibling]

Your welcome, dude!
Sometimes the scenario business boggles the mind, and you overlook the simple fixes!
