Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
This evening, a new armoured vehicle was tested on a babarian hoarde down in the vaste desert south of Jamaican Homeland.
The effect upon them (the babarians) was greater than expected. Soon the new veapon will be part of the Glorious Jamaican Armed Force - together with the marines.
Chairman Che Birdy of PDRJ.
First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.
Now what is all this talk about me being bad??? Do not forget, Richard was the FIRST to send many slavers into my land to spy on my then peaceful nation. Mr. Nixon also refused to stop trespassing near my cities when graciously asked by me to do so. Then, when I was trying to defend myself from the slave attack by Tricky Dick, Che launches an unprovoked attack on my exposed flank! So I counter attack and get called BAD! NO FAIR!
Lies is all we hear from you Mr. Bad. I'm standing there with a few units on a nice peaceful, lightly watched boundary between our lands. Wiser men than I have always said, "Trust, but verify." So I check behind the lines for a moment, and what do I find. A road built right up my a.s.s with 36 units on it. I think you just might have been ready to break the peace at any time.
You may also remember that I passed your cities without en-slaving them. But was this restraint remember, no, rather it was rewarded by a death march from your Bad orange units. You are very bad Man Mr Nikita, "Now tear down that wall."

Anyway, Mr. Nikita is a BAD leader, as he did not instruct his spies/diplomats (choose yourself ) to empty the dead mailbox, where all the correspondance between the UGLY Richard and the GOOD Me was copied to.
You know, the dead mailbox in the old oak-tree down by the banks of the lazy MSN-river .
You Mr. BAD was supposed to get that information - as it was "planted" as a special offer "Just for you".
First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.
This morning, the Jamaican city of Port Maria was liberated from the BAD's hoardes.
Under a mild and kindly pressure, the leader of the BAD's cavalry told my investigator the "secret" of Republic. However that information is useless for the Great Jamaican Nation - therefore it have been passed over to the UGLY - he might miss that in his collection of outdated advances .
BTW: The first Marines is expected to arrive at the frontline any time now!
Edit:
Forgot to mention, that 2 Russian SOTL was sunk by a Jamaican submarine near the Russian coastline.

When they said I was Ugly, I said I want a second opinion. The Doctor said, ok I'll give you a second opinion,
"your stupid too."
So why oh why is the Bird Man's Science so far advanced?
As long as the Plethora of Plumage uses that awesome bird-brain power on to peck the eyes from the Bad, the Ugly will be happy. (Fat, Dumb, and Happy in this case)
Because of the advanced model of the well known rabbit-strategy.
Every city has at least 1 one tradegood (and always available caravans (nearly always)).
As for the game, it seems like The Bad does not take much care for his troops. They are ordered to attack and attack no matter how many they loose.
Unfortunately (for the Jamaicans) it seems like The Bad is able to enlist an endless number of farmer-boys from the Russian plains, give then an uniform and a weapon - and then tell them to go east. Most do die - but enough to break the Jamaican defences .
Now to reuse a cry from the dark past (with a little change): Where is the Ugly when he is needed

The Jamaican capitol of Kingston has been liberated by the Russians!
LOSE! No matter how many I "LOSE", not "LOOSE"!! And that isn't 100% correct. After the Russians broke through a very well defended and fortified Jamaican front line city, the rest of the cities have been lightly defended. Shame on you Che! (But I thank you, also, from the bottom of my heart !). In addition, Che did not build a proper road network to reinforce his cities. Instead, it appears he leaves pockets of cities to fend for themselves , and attacks piecemeal, behind the lines, that are easy pickings to counter-attack. As well as putting much too much faith in technological advances, (which again I thank Che Birdy for... I have received Chemistry, Electrification, and Oil Refining from the brilliant Jamaican scientists!! )
Nothing personal, Birdman. It's just that your General Che was starting to get a little too cocky regarding his beautiful and chest thumping "advanced version of the rabbit strategy" speech!
