	SCENARIO: World War 2 Worldwide Support Apolyton

World War 2 Worldwide

December 8, 1941 - America is reeling from the attack at Pearl Harbour. Japan is poised to seize Malaysia and the Philippines as well as feeble China. Europe has fallen before Hitler's panzers, who are now knocking at the gates of Moscow. Beleagured Great Britain cannot hold off both Axis powers by itself. Will America awake fast enough to send help to Europe, or will it be up to Russia to turn the tide in the East?

This is a world wide scenario of World War 2 just after Pearl Harbour. The civs are:
Germany
Soviet Union
America
Great Britain
Italy
Japan
Spain
Turkey
Free France
Brazil
China
Neutral Powers

This scenario is for PTW (version 1.14) and it incorporates all of the special world war 2 units. Instructions for installation are in the readme. (Version 1.1 no longer requires you to change any of the unit names or directories).

There are no cultural conversions. Everyone starts with limited military in my attempt to restrict the loading time (it takes 37 minutes on my 733 mHz machine) but there are still enough for some good opening attacks. Railroads are strategically placed. My world map (version 3) is used. Fascism has been added and war weariness has been removed from all governments. All units have been modified for balance; for example, infantry have equal attack and defence. The tech tree has been greatly simplified, but the nuclear race will still take place. Buildings have also been simplified and made much cheaper since the focus is not on building. The courthouse acts as a temple, aqueduct, courthouse and granary and every city has one. There are no other units or leaderheads, to reduce download size.

CHANGES VERSION 1.10
-Fixed city sizes: all city sizes are now relatively accurate
-Removed Vichy France: all territory except Djibouti (neutral) given to Germany
-Sturmovick is now Russian
-Set player properties
-Put more units on the Russian/German border, esp. Russian artillery. Also made lots of Russian
troops conscript, and removed all German Tiger II/Panther tanks.
-Fixed directory path thing (see installation)
-American airbases in Great Britain
-Deleted some African and South American cities
-Turned on Accelerated Production

To skip the long load time, I've included a save game. It allows you to play as Germany
without going through the load time. In addition it includes Germany's alliances and
declarations of war, as well as diplomatic embassies. Place it in your saves folder and load
as normal.

Download size is about 550kb.

When does the error appear? I have tested the scenario multiple times and it loads correctly for me.

this error aperes right after when the computer is done setting up the scenario. It then closes civ3 Ptw

Did you set up the units correctly as instructed by the readme? Remember you have to rename a couple of folders and .ini files.

Hey, Yurt! Why don't you just change the scenario loading files and add the path to the WWII units? Then you add the correct animation names to the pediaicons.txt and there is no need to change or copy any unit files...

I'm pretty sure the folder you load from has to be within the "Civ3ptw\scenarios" folder.

Not really!

On the "scenario properties" tab (I think!) you can add the search folders. Look into the TETurkhan scenarios that came with PTW. There the path to the WWII units is included in the "scenario properties" and it works!

And, btw, i already altered your scenario on my computer so i wouldn't have to copy any files...

Good luck

So do I just put in "..\Extras\World War II" or was the .. shortened from something else?

The line below "Scenario search folder" must show this:

WW2Yurt;..\Extras\World War II

Then you change the ANIMNAME entry in the pediaicons.txt (for example ANIMNAME_PRTO_Me262) to the file name that unit has in the extras/world war II folder (in this case you write: Me262). That should work... It does for me.

Btw, great scenario!

So just to be completely clear, the PediaIcons entry would be:

#ANIMNAME_Me262
Messerschmitt 262

or would it be
#Me262
Messerschmitt 262

It would be:

I'm doing some changes and testing now. I will take Vichy France out and give most of it to Germany. However I'm not sure about a few places:

Northwest Africa (Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire, etc.)
Djibouti
Madagascar
Morocco

No! It was:

#ANIMNAME_PRTO_Me262
Messerschmitt 262

But it has to be:

#ANIMNAME_PRTO_Me262
Me262

Then you'd not have to copy files and change file names...

Sorry for the late answer.

@wunder: thanks for the link but I can't seem to find any info about those countries. I'm pretty sure Madagascar was active against the allies but I don't know about the others.

@caliban: I understand now, I guess I might as well not bother with the name changes.

Can somebody please check their files for me, I think the default folder names are "me-262" and "fw190" but I might have the hyphen mixed up (it could be "me262" and "fw-190".

	Suffering from ads?

Just to tide everyone over until version 1.1 is released, here is a save game file. This requires you to change folder and .ini "me262" to "me-262" (will be fixed next time so nothing has to be changed) but otherwise nothing needs to be changed - in other words if you didn't make any changes before don't make any now, if you did make changes before, you have to change everything back to its original names.
This is a savegame for Germany, they have an embassy, mpp, and rop with Italy and Japan, they have contact and map of every civ except China (will be fixed) and they are at war with Free France, Great Britain, Russia and the USA. All other civs have contact with each other, as well as varying degrees of each other's maps.
Many changes have been made for this save but they will be explained in detail in version 1.1.

Right, someone told me that at CivFanatics already so that is fixed in the new verison. I also just posted a file with save games in it so you can load those instead of loading the scenario. Russia, America, Germany and Britain are included. Contacts are made and war has been declared. A few of them lack a few contacts but nothing major.

	Units found where?? Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

I just joined today, so I am playing catchup on all the ways to add to the shelf game.. but where do I get the units which seem to be necessary for this scenario to operate?

Are there other files necessary as well.

Thanks,

Just check that you have a Civ3Ptw\Extra\World War II directory.
The only thing I needed to do was this Me262 FW190 thing in the .ini file.

I don't know, I don't have C3C.
All Civ3 scenarii work with Civ3Ptw, so I guess all Civ3Ptw scenarii will work with C3C.
