Curt, I was wondering if I could use some of your units in my 2194 Gigamap scenario. The biggest problem I see with that though, is taht I am 90% most likely going to release my scenario before you, so I will completely understand if you would say no, or would like me to wait, etc...

Thanks

oh, btw, I started a game as the Americans in a test, just a quick question, should GI Infantry be buildable from the start? I can build Marines, but not the regular infantry.

Okay curt i played the scenario a bit, as the japs and:

1.typographical error in intro text. It says "lightly Luftwaffe" instead of "mighty".

2.Almost none of the infantry units have the alpine ability. Do not know if this was meant to be, but i think that at least the Japanese should have it(jungle fighting and all). The Ruskies too.

3.Errr... NO INFANTRY IGNORES WALLS! could that be anything other than a mistake?.

4.The Val bomber is way too powerfull, or the Motor infantry way too weak.

5.I did the same thing as in the PBEM again: By contacting the Germans they demanded that i cancel my alliance with the Brits. I did so and then broke the peace treaty with the english. Perhaps negotiation should be tottaly broken off. Oh, and the neutrals cancelled our alliance after they had traded a ton of techs. If i attack them the Brits declare war.


More to come.

WONDERS:


1.It should be "Whitehouse", not "The Whitehouse", as the wonder screen shows "The The Whitehouse of Washigton DC"

2.It should be "Baltic Sea fleet" instead of "Baltic sea"

3.It should be "Ploesti" instead of "Ploeisti".

4.Again, the wonder screen says "The The Eiffel tower in Paris".


Thats it for now.

Giving the Russians and Japanese this ability might make it too easy for them...

Do you think they should have it?
I guess AT defence should just affect tanks, eh?

The val has a little more than standard civ2 bomber power.

I would like to give all ciities a capture message, but the puny amount of room for events in MGE prevents this.

I will try.

In Dictator III on ToT, I planned to have capture messages for all cities!
ToT has awesome events support.

Hmm....

When you open a folder(not a file!) the menu on top has an option called "view". From there go to "folder options", then to "view" and deselect the box that says "hide file extensions".


Then rename the file extension from .dat to .zip


But most propably you have done that already.

Well spotted!

The Baltic sea wonder reflects the fact that you own the region not the Russian fleet.

About the negotiations the best thing would be to close all negotiations off but make the Japs and neutrals have a peace treaty instead of an alliance.

That way Japanese aggression could cause British reaction.

OK, I'm all the way into September 1942 now as the Americans, and here are the things I noticed, and some random thoughts.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

Yeah

i like the farms graphic BTW. And the 88 gun.


Curt, it seems i will not be able to provide further feedback untill friday, since University lessons begin anew and the University is 250km away from my computer.

Sorry.

Do not know when you are going to release the scenario, but if its before friday consider these:

1.The japs should have alpine as they constantly outmanuevered their British opponents.
2.IMO all infantry should have ignore walls.


Hope i helped.

P.S if you need any info on japanese operations in Asia(for events and such) just e-mail me.
