Why not having regions on that map which are as full as possible with cities?
It would also show why Hitler wanted to conquer "LEBENSRAUM" in the east! its because in Germany there wasnt anymore.
Would just be realsitic!

The map is already kind of cramped...But I will explore all possibilities!

I could test out the Barbarossa thing, but I need to know what unit you think it should be. I was thinking the Supply Truck, but then I was worried that it might not get attacked because it was only a supply truck...

How about the Commando?

[Pap1723]

Weak defenses?

Cifer, I have tried your idea, and it might work!

Here is a screen shot that makes me wonder 2 things:

1. I might change Germany's civ colour back to blue or white. In order that you can see things better.

2. Do you have a city in mind that would be most appropriate for the square the Engineer is on?

All suggestions welcome!

To make it less obvious, can we make it a barb unit?
And would this not ruin the automatic game flow?
It means you could delay the attack...

If we can arrange to have something happen in the German turn that will be guaranteed to work, the German civ can launch into war against the USSR...

Unless the Japan idea works...

[Pap1723]

Stuttgart or Augsburg would work well there, I would say Stuggart though.

Didn't the German's dress up some concentation camp prisoners in german uniforms and have them shot, to make it look like they had been the victim of a Russian raid to provide an excuse for invading?
It would take up a unit slot, but you could have a barbarian "slave labour" unit be to be killed by Germany to trigger the war: would make it seem a bit more logical.
The "slave labour" unit could be build by the germans (and Japanese and Russians) or given via event using the settler slot? So you dont waste the unit slot.

YEAH! Its a real big honor for me that such a great scenario designer like you are listens to my suggestions...

Your screenshot looks good!

The field the engeneer is on is almoust Nuremberg
in fact its a little more in the West - but its okay! (And Nuremberg was a real important city for the Nazis).

Perhaps a light brown could do it? Or a blue?

Little report: I took playing the Axis LONDON in turn2! Is that meant like this? (i played deity). I will see, if I am able to hold it now...

And I do not wanna annoy you but... what about a second Italian city? Like Milan perhaps? From then on ill shut up!

Milan, Turin and Genua are the econmocly strong North of Italy (somehow compareable with the Ruhrgebiet) so one city could represent it well!

Pap was right with Detroit and Pittsburgh, I think.

Greetings, Cifer

PS: I hope that the balance between the different civs is not change too heavy then.

turn3= newcastle+bristol occupied!

(soem more reports will be edited)

The slave labour thing is an interesting idea...
British and US infantry = Japanese Slave labour
Russian Infantry = German Slave labour
German Infantry = Soviet Slave labour

I was thinking of a barb infantry or engineer unit,
It opens an interesting chance...
The choice of opening Barbarossa or not?
It would only trigger the Eastern war if Germany attacks it.
I reckon the AI would always attack it too...

Other scenarios have the Eastern Front as a foregone conclusion...
But this might be a way to decide history, sort for rolling Open season and regualr Dictator together!

I will think on this...

And it's my honour to have such dedicated Civ players helping me!
The scenario would never be as cool with out the help of you fine playtesters and advisors!
Together, we will make this one of the funkiest WW2 global scenarios!

Nuremberg is more in tune with the WW2 mood.
That blank square was crying out for an Axis city!

I will experiment with some colours!

Owning London is the key to Axis triumph in Europe, did the H-Class ships event work OK?
If so, you will have a super navy soon!

Dude, All suggestions are considered!
Good Idea...I will try and fit Milan in!

Yep, Pittsburgh is now a unit making powerhouse!

I think the German AI civ needs more power in this scenario, more cities will help without making any unbalancing issues.

[Cifer Almasy]

I am looking forward to your next update!
(with those city changes the map will be a really good simulation.)
Meanwhile I played a little more and it is really fun! Great work!
Just one question: What does the ability to build railway yards depend on?

Oh yes the MEGA Battleship event worked! Nice idea!

[Pap1723]

Cifer, I'm pretty sure it needs the Factory improvement and Heavy Industry technology.

[curtsibling]

I will post you guys a new update tonight!
It won't be a big email, just new versions of the rules, events, cities and units files!

I am going to try a few theories on this Barbarossa attack...

@Cifer Almasy,
I'm glad the H-Class worked! It is a killer vessel!
