Oh don't worry Nick, didn't take me too long. This might be of use to you though...

quote: Originally posted by techumseh I'm using stackable terrain (fortresses in every land square) in Global War. It works well, I think. Don't put them on sea terrain, or every time a troop transport is sunk, the tanks or troops it was carrying aren't. They just sit there, unable to move. It really looks dumb. Mercator has made a great little utility to add fortresses to any combination of terrain, which I can send you if you like.

Unfortunately, if you recall Techuseh said he'd be gone for the weekend, and Jorrit hasn't gotten back to me. Being impatient like I am, I went and did it the old fashoned way.

Its not so bad if you use Ctrl-Shift-F8 rather than just Shift-F8. This way you can lay down like-types of combinations (Grassland, road, irrigation) over and over without having to enter the menu screen where 'fortress' gets toggled. Makes the large swaths in Russia not so nasty.

i imagine because then it would be near impossible to remove an opponents forces from a strategic hill or mountain. Imagine the death toll of any allied force trying to fight its way up italy with stackable defense in the mountains. a bloodbath would be certain

You can do whatever you want. I have just chosen to do the flatlands right now. Perhaps I will add hills, wooded hills and forest to the stackables list later.

One just has to reflect this when they are setting the 'defend at' rating for each terrain type. For any type.

I'm back, and I agree with starting over. Before we do, FMK, can you review the plan for solving the global warming problem? Has it been tested in a SP game?

I'm attaching Mercator's little program for adding fortresses. It doesn't work with XP, you have to use 98.

	Majour Update, Game on! Full PM-box? Change here!

Greetings everybody,

Been hard at work tightening up all that was discussed, and changing a few things to boot.


The Sounds remain the same, but you will need to download the new gamefiles. I will update the link at the first post in this thread.

Here are some of the changes off the top of my head:

Stackable terrains on Grasslands, Plains, Forest, Hills, Wooded Hills and Taiga. Not so for Swamps, Riverbeds, and Mountains.

Pocket BB changed.

Fighter added for Turks and Spanish.

Me262 is now Jet Fighter, and available to all.

Changed Bren Gun Infantry to Canadian Infantry.

Fixed Happiness issues.

Fixed Pollution/ Global Warming issues.

Brits and Frech have carrier knowledge. 3 and 1 currently in service respectively. Germans and Italians each have one city currently producing one (half complete). Changing production there loses the buildability unitll researching them.

As before, Ships sped up.


Okay Henrik, whenever you are ready with your turn, we can start up again. Same players, same Civs. Game 2 is gaining steam but still looking for players.

It's strange; the Civ2 game just completely disappears and then it asks to send an error report to Microsoft. I've seen this before.

Well I am not sure whats going on. I am running win98, and Henrik is on a Mac. I am home, have checked my game and it starts up fine. So not a rules problem. Delevent'ed the build.sav and saved as a new scenario file. Started that no problem too. Whats with the XP thought Techumseh?, got me intruiged.

I'm going ot DL the zip on the server to see if it got corrupted somehow upon uploading...

	Mental Corruption Support Apolyton

Well, it seems somehow between me sending the file to Henrik, and Henrik uploading it the scen file has become corrupted. I repacked a zip, and have mailed it to Henrik. I unpacked the zip I sent him before and it ran fine. I have no idea what would cause the kind of error I was getting with the corrupted files. It was they type of crash as if I was using some gfx with the wrong pallete.

Yes,

The Governments of Norway, Ireland and Portugal have asked the British Government to become the Protectorate of their fine countries.
Therefore, British infantry divisions have moved into Ireland, and are off the shows of Norway and Portugal ready to move in.

Britain(again) wishes peace with Germany, as we are in no mood for war, meaning we have no army lol
So peace is granted Herr Henrik
