ok, guys,

you really do need to make this game available for download

[Marko]

I'm ready to start.

[dizepam]

I sure want to play another round. This time things are going to be different...
Captain Nemo: it would be good if you manage to make a more balanced version of this scenario for multiplayer purposes.

[Captain Nemo]

Sorry to dissappoint you but a good scenario designer does not a great Civ2 player make...
I will probably get trounced too, especially since I don't know the idiosynchrasies (sp?) of the Hotseat game.
What is this thing about building churches and AA batteries?
I will play the game as the Soviets though, if you can put up with my timing and lack of experience in this type of game. Which events do you use? Are you using the latest version where the tech-tree errors have been corrected?

[Xin Yu]

The last game we used the latest version (Readme file dated 10/5/2000) and the tech tree errors were corrected. Rules.txt used Allied advantage (rules1.txt) and events.txt used German Human Player setup (events1.txt).

Now Field Marshal Klesh will start our war at Pearl Harbor. I expect that he uses the same setup.

[PolarisGL]

If you guys send all games to polaris2k_99@yahoo.com I will upload them for others to download them once the game is complete.

[Captain Nemo]

Are you E-mailing me the game when it is ready for Comrade Stalin to impose World Communism?

Japanese Broadcast

Greetings to our newly liberated Asian bretheren.
Japan has succesfully launched several sneak attacks to rid our rightful territory from these Colonialist swine. The Imperial Navy supported simultanious beach assaults all across the South Pacific which took the British and American garrisons completely by surprise.
Most notable was the utter destruction of the American Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor. A feat of nearly equal value was the smashing of the Red Navy's Pacific Fleet at Vladivostok. Several smaller British Fleets were also disposed of quite promptly, namely the HMS Repulse and Prince of Wales. Also other British Battleships and their escorts were destroyed in the Indian Ocean.

People of Greater Asia, Rejoice! Our world is free from tryanny! Our Imperial Navy will protect all of our possetions with valiant determination!

Below is a list of territories released from the clutches of the Colonialists by our heroes:

1. Kunming
2. Rangoon
3. Calcutta
4. Kuala Lumpur
5. Singapore
6. Padang
7. Tarakan
8. Surabaya
9. Ambon
10. Hong Kong
11. Manilla
12. Davao
13. Guam
14. Rabaul
15. Port Moresby
16. Darwin
17. Pearl Harbor
18. Midway
19. Vladivostok
20. Khabarowsk
(21.)Nerchinsk (Destroyed)

Now we pray that our Axis comrades will deliver crushing blows to both the Soviets and the British, and teach them some important lessons.
A toast is raised to the Axis, may the world revolve about us!

Yup.

[Captain Nemo]

Is the issue of the AI changing the production of units and improvements between turns avoidable? If it isn't easily fixed I could change the rules.txt to change all "defense-type" units to role=0 (For all the human players) so the AI isn't as tempted to switch production? I look forward to this game and if it is fun and worth repeating I will consider making a special version for multiplayers. Have the unit-producing events been removed? What is the order of play? I thought it was Japan-USA-Soviet Union-Germany-UK?

[Xin Yu]

Captain Nemo,

The sequence is Japan-Germany-America-Britain-Soviet. The unit generating events were not removed.

As for the AI changing production order, let's take care of it after this game. There are many things to change if you really want it to be suitable for multiplayer.

[Captain Nemo]

Where is the game now? Have you finished your turn Xin? Is there anything left of the Soviet Union to even play?

[Xin Yu]

Pretty much I got what I wanted. Soviet still has Stalingrad and Baku in Europe. I also captured Sverdlovsk and I almost meet Japan in Siberia with only one Soviet city in between (if only FMK could get that city!) However the Soviet has a lot of event generated units in Stalingrad so I don't know how many cities I'm gonna lose.

I got Gibralta and Alexandria in the Southern front. That's all I can get in turn 1.

Now I face the toughest question: how to set up defense...

Until tomorrow.
