DICTATOR II MGE - Coming soon!

[curtsibling]

Greetings!

I am working on version two of the Civ2 Dictator MGE scenario.
I was wondering if anyone who had played it would like to request any changes to be made?

This is the time to tackle any problems you may have encountered.
As I am making many edits to graphics and game rules, etc.
I am also looking for playtesters of the new version when it is ready.

Please feel free to suggest any additions.

Regards, Curt.

I have added some new unit edits in here too.

Will anybody who recognises their units, please post here, and I will add you to my credit list.

I am also seriously thinking about dropping the atomic bomb from Dictator, and putting the emphasis in stategic conventional missiles.

The nukes are too much of a non-starter in CIV2.

I think long range missile wars are bound to be fun!

I don't know, I think the Atomic bombs are much more historically accurate, and also make the game more interesting, as you can't suddenly wipe out DC or Tokyo from Berlin or New York. If nukes are shorter-ranged, their application requires more military force (getting airfields in range, etc.)

I love the detail you've added to the Nemo units, Curt. Excellent work

[Willhelm II]

I love the infantry units you have made - I think they are brilliant.

Hi Curt, I enjoyed Dictator MGE, but the one major gripe I had with it was that it was far too easy. By simply rush-building those German siege guns and attacking with the full weight of the Luftwaffe I was able to conquer England within 4 turns - the European part of the Soviet Union succumbed within 5 turns of launching Barbarrossa, the Allies were trounced in Africa and the Middle East...

I've only played as the Germans, so I don't know how the other powers handle - but a human German player against the AI is no contest, this balance needs to be redressed. I've got high hopes for the 2nd version though!

please replace the infantry graphics by better-looking ones!

the other graphics seem really nice

[Henrik]

Whats wrong about the infantry graphics?
I think they're great.

[Iron Chancellor]

I second Henrik. I think the units are fantastic


EDIT: I think the Fallshirmjagers look better with the blue shields they have in DMGE I

[curtsibling]

Sorry, Cifer Almasy!

I consider the infantry graphics to be among the best I have came across.
I have much pride in Dannyevilcat's work and I will stick with them.

I am going to make it tougher.

But the trick is making it tough without it being impossible.

I will be working hard to make this happen!

The infantry were designed by Dannyevilcat, a very talented fellow!
The other units are a mix of work by myself and many very talented CIV2 designers in he community!

I am indebted to them!

Indeed, the graphics are very good, nothing bad there.

I too found the War in Russia a bit easy in the original Dictator MGE (not 5 turn short; in my case it was something like 8-10 turns, probably) when playing against the AI....so the Russians do need a healthy boost.

The U.S. was a strong foe though, being rather hard to succeed at an Alaska/Canada invasion attempt (total allied air supremacy anyone?)...

Is Dannyevilcat still around? Or did he defect to CivIII

P.S. I feel honored to be presented on your Title.gif
