So I just left it out, and called it 'banana', in a fit of British silliness.

I wrote this up yesterday, but got a phone call that prevented me from posting it in full.

I take it that i am not the first one to have done the same mistake.Sorry.
Mmmm....Sharpe is obviously your surname.But what does RM stand for?
Reynold,?Ryan?,Roger?,Ronald?You guessed it.And M? Your middle name?
"What is mind? Never matter. What is matter? Never mind."Just some irregular thoughts. Mind them not.
"Reprogramming" isn't the word, since I'm not changing the program. Rather, I'm changing the data file that the program uses (.scn or .sav) Basically, it's an "alternative" to the scenario editor, which gives you a little more freedom in changing values of things, etc.As for the Hex editing thing i was actually wondering how exactly it is done. I mean, is it some sort of re-programming the Civ2 code?
Is it hard for someone with no programming skills to do it?
A good background knowledge on even elementary languages like HTML can always help in a tight spot, despite the fact that both Civ2 and HTML are about the same things as Hungarian is to Japanese.-rmsharpeComment

1.What the hell is this "Banana" joke so often used by the Anglo-Saxons in the Forum?
2.My bro is sort of an expert in HTML and programming.
Is there some special program that allows you to edit the data in the .sav files?

I use UltraEdit, but you have to pay or use certain "tools" to make it so that you can use it beyond it's expiration date.-rmsharpeComment

GEU shouldnt have nukes!!! NEVER! If you know what I mean
And Nobody should be allied in the start. I think it would be cool that in a PBEM you could just choose your side.
And anyway it would be wise that nobody should be allied in the beginning. If australia attacks UFA, GEU, Red empire will declare war too!"[A thoughtful Quote]" -Oscar WildeComment

Stalin, you make a good point!
For the semi-final zip - I will deactivate all alliances.
I'll see about getting that out tommorow...

Stalin has a point there.
Of course that would mean you must eliminate all those techs leading to war, now wouldn't it?."Military training has three purposes: 1)To save ourselves from becoming subjects to others, 2)to win for our own city a possition of leadership, exercised for the benefit of others and 3)to exercise the rule of a master over those who deserve to be treated as slaves."-Aristotle, The Politics, Book VII

I really think that the infantry unit should be mobile, terrorist just dont stay put and wait to be captured...
What about making the corrupt GEU playable?
Make rebel infantry buildable by them.
Want them to have a chance? Give them the unique diplo unit you talked about, as their special unit. They can use them to bribe themselves a small army of sell-swords, dogs of war and defectors, Ex-Nazis, Ex-Reds, Ex-Yankees flying the colours of Benjamin, dying for cash.
And after all that selling the techs they steal but can't use to the highest bidder. (Meaning they can't build any good units themselves but they can bribe enemy garisons in cities and units in the field)
Or perhaps not.

The problem with infantry moving is that they get in the way all the time.
I will do a test with a nasty tough infantry, and other things, to see if I can implement a better system for the Vendetta anti-terror war.
A dedicated events-made terrorist unit, and a diplo agent may be fun!

Calling rmsharpe!
The new zip is up today.
Again, I need your expertise to change that global warming byte!
Since I save the scn file anew, it has reset the value.
Can you help?Comment

What!
If you save the scenario anew, hex edting goes away?
Is this certain?
