Cool, but further East???!!!!! Did the Swiss colonize Siberia or something?

BTW I hope I didn't oversaturate you with the Glider info...

Oops! I knew we should have blocked out the Capt from this tread!

(small notes) The anti-Tank guns don't appear to get the pikeman defensive bonus, which I think only works against 1 fp units. In regular civ2 pikemen get the bonus against horsemen, knights, and crusaders, but not against cavalry. You may want to adjust their defensive numbers accordingly.

Also - it would be nice to have machine guns as a medium expense defensive unit instead of cheap offense if you end up reducing the too strong Cossacks to 1hp.

I'll send you an email someday with a full report.

Captain Nemo: Excellent, excellent scenario.

Make your next version of RF really tough. Show us no mercy

Suggestions:

1) In the real war on the East Front, many observers believe that had Guderian's forces not been sent to assist other sectors, there is every indication that the Germans would have taken Moscow - so I'm wondering if there should be even MORE pressure put on Moscow - really brutal attacks by the German AI.

2) In the real war Hitler tried repeatedly to get the Japanese to attack Siberia and Vladivostock. That is why Stalin kept 40 veteran divisions in the East to watch the Japanese. In the game, maybe make it a condition such that, if the German AI captures Moscow, then the Japanese AI will intervene in Siberia. This way not all Siberian reinforcements will be able to be sent to help fight Germans. It might introduce an interesting twist on events.

3) Have the German AI put even more pressure and units to fight against Leningrad, Moscow and Stalingrad. Really make this scenario a tough one to win.

I'm looking forward to the next version and to your D-Day scenario Keep up the excellent work!

The Swiss aren't really there for any military purpose, but with the new EXPANDED oversized map and dropping the furthermost Eastern regions of Siberia the map came slightly further to the West and includes Rome, Zurich and the Ruhr area. I couldn't with good conscience let the Swiss be part of the German "Empire" so they have one city, are neutral and should be similar to the Swedes in RF 1.4.
