DICTATOR II MGE - Coming soon!

[curtsibling]

@Palaiologos , you have provided me with much useful fix info!

Yes, I will take your advice, it makes infantry more formidable to have hem ignore walls, the fix is done!

Also the Imperial marines, commandos, USSR elite guard and Waffen SS now have alpine abilities!

Now I have to find a way to make the Germans get the first strike in Barbarossa...
The fact that eh Soviets get to attack has always bugged me too!

Curt do you have any messaging program such as AOLIM, MSN, ICQ where we could talk easier?

Curt, I also think you shuold change the place in the Units file of the Sherman and the Light Tank. The rebels use the Sherman when they rise up, and it just looks and feels strange.

Thanks for helping, but the hidden files were already shown - renaming that file does not show any reaction - could someone please send me a .zip file???

ciferalmasy@web.de

thanks in advance

1. Juneau and Anchorage started in disorder, I'm assuming if you make them have 1 unit each, they'll be fine in future versions

A deity level issue...
I will give them some entertainment!

OK,2. I think the Rising Sun on the Japanese Cities is a little too big, just kind of sticks out and looks a little weird

I will look into that!

OK,3. You might want to possibly give the Americans more buildings to build from the start. Meaning that there should be less buildings in each city, but only 1 or 2, because I was starting a full military build-up by October of 1940 after I built everything I wanted to.

I will have a look at that, dude!

OK,4. I think Pittsburgh should have more production than 11 (I believe that is what it is) Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Detroit produced a lot of the war materials, and the actual weapons.

Good point, I will upgrade Pittsburgh!
(I have an American friend from there, oddly enough!)

OK,5. The new camo pattern looks good on the German motorized infantry, but I think instead of the gray you should use a dark brown or something similar

Hmmm, I might just do it!

OK,6. Germans should be able to attack first in Operation Barbarossa. Perhaps by making it a technology driven event and giving the Germans a tech on that turn, the war won't start until their turn?

Good idea!
I will implement this!

OK,That's it for now, so far I have written down everything that has happened in the game. From which cities were taken on which turns to the techs developed by the other nations. I'll post that either at the end of my game, or sometime later today.

Excellent!
Thanks a lot, Pap!

I am going to go and work on that Barbarossa problem!

This is an odd one!

I already changed these units around to fix that problem, which was always happening in the first Dictator scenario!

In your units.gif,
is the Sherman in the slot where the elephant normally is?

[Pap1723]

It is in teh second row, last one on the right, don't know where the Elephant usually is, haven't played a vanilla Civ2 game in a looong time.

It might be the problem of the Musketeer and Knight slot that many people have run into about the defenders, in those slots, but I don't know much about barbs or what units they use.

I will.

[curtsibling]

BTW, is there a global 'no negotiations' events command?

Or do I have to do this for every combatant?
It is killing my events!

@IF
NEGOTIATION
talker=Third Reich
talkertype=HumanOrComputer
listener=Soviet Union
listenertype=HumanOrComputer
@THEN
@ENDIF

@IF
NEGOTIATION
talker=Soviet Union
talkertype=HumanOrComputer
listener=Third Reich
listenertype=HumanOrComputer
@THEN
@ENDIF

Can I just do an overall command?

[Pap1723]

This is it...

@IF
NEGOTIATION
talker=Anybody
talkertype=HumanOrComputer
listener=Anybody
listenertype=HumanOrComputer
@THEN
@ENDIF

[curtsibling]

Thought so!

Thanks!
That solves a major headache!

[jim panse]

I just made it. I renamed the file in the "Save file as .." dialogue as *.zip and now it seems to work. Feedback is coming soon

[jim panse]

Man, I love your gfx!

[Palaiologos]

Cifer, got the e-mail?

Your Type 3 Chi-nu tank looks like a PzKw IV, strange .....
