	DICTATOR 2 MGE! Out Now! Tired of ads?

Now ready for download! DICTATOR II MGE!
This is the second incarnation of the DICTATOR MGE scenario.

The scenario is fully ready for MP play or PBEM, but I will be following up
with an 'Open Season' version specifically made with more options for PBEM...

This scenario is my best yet and could never have reached the quality it is at
without the help of the very fine efforts and great contributions of the SL league and CDG!
My special thanks go to Pericles, Cifer Almasy, Jim Panse, Pap1723, Fairline and Boco for much help in the development thread!
And I want to offer my sincere thanks to my friends in CIV2 community, this is your scenario too!

Hope you all enjoy it!
Well, here are the download files!

Once you have installed the above files...
Please also grab this patch and install the new updated scn file, rules file and title text file!

NEW V3 PATCH NOW OUT!

This new patch fixes a few graphic problems, stops the Neutrals being a pest and add a neglected contributor to the thanks list!

Please post any comments, questions, and your war stories in this thread!

Excellent Curt

This has to be one of the best looking scenarios out there. The terrain and cities are fantastic

I love your title graphics - do you do them yourself?

Jim and Fairline, Thanks!

I created the title on PhotoShop!
I do use the odd bit photo reference, like the Me109s in the background...

Works fine for me (I had to add the @end line to the intro.txt myself though).

@Cifer Almasy,
Thanks to you! You helped make the German cities really work!

@Mao,
Are you patched up to the latest version?
Make sure you have the add-on 'no limits-MGE' as well!

@Henrik,
Oops!
Well it stills shows the message title anyway, right?

If the text messge is not working for anyone,
Just go into the 'Dict-MGE-1.txt' file and put this line at the end...

@end -- this line must be here!

Thanks Henrik!

What is this "no-limits MGE" patch? I've been gone too long...

I don't have no limits and it works fine for me.

Also I am not sure how the PC version handles intro texts without the "@end" line, but the mac version crashes if it isn't present...

I think it must be just for on-screen text formatting or something,
because I had that line missing for ages without noticing!

Maybe, as I said though, for me the game crashes without it

Mao, you may have to update your Version of MGE with the offciial patch released years ago, I had the same problem with some scenarios.

looks very good except the second sound files and the first are exactly the same Could you upload the second file so the aural experience of the scenario isn't tarnished?

I've seen something very similar posted before, I don't remember the solution or the cause however...

Does it work without scenario?
I'd try a reinstall if I where you, as the problem doesn't seem to be witht he scenario files themselves (as all the rest of us can use them).

Some things I want to say:

(1) I have no problems, everything works properly + without troubles.

(2) Maybe you shoudl reconsider the name of Flensburg, Curt. It should be called Copenhagen or something like this but not Flensburg, IMHO.

(3) Would you mind a PBEM game? Anyone else to play with me?
