Art o' War!

Good selection of units!
May I humbly suggest using this mildly edited version of Erwan's spy girl?

PS
Give him a credit if you do!

I'm getting this message whenever I play the US side in my beta test:

ILLEGAL OPERATION:
CIV2 caused an invalid page fault in
module CIV2.EXE at 015f:00428b40.

anyone know how to fix this?

Art of War · January 11, 2004, 15:51

how do i get my happiness level up? I renamed democracy to communism, but my people are unhappy and there isn't enough money...hmm..

POTUS · January 11, 2004, 18:29

Wonders, temples, collosi, etc.

For money, decrease the matinance cost.

our_man · January 11, 2004, 18:35

Raise the luxuries rate, build WoW and improvements, martial law etc.

If this still does not suffice use the effects editor to boost the minimum population at which your citizens become unhappy. You might also want to try raising the riot factor.

Post the scenario and rules, etc. here and let's try it on other computers.

Art of War · January 12, 2004, 09:48

I hope this works..

In order to don't crash Civ2 needs that every single civilization could research one tech. With your current settings, the American can't research any tech, so Civ2 crashes.

Here is a modified RULES.TXT where any civ can research Future Tech, and the game don't crash.

With that RULES.TXT you can continue your work. Be sure to either set the tech rate to 0 (and have no scientifics!) or to always keep at least one researchble tech

BTW, the scen looks nice

Edit: Attachment corrected.

Arthedain · January 12, 2004, 11:03

Gah I didn't know you could set it to zero! Thanks for bringing me the information yaroslav!

Sorry for the off-topic Art of War.

Art of War · January 12, 2004, 13:58

yaroslav, you're the man! thanks! now i can get this thing beta testing soon!

fairline · January 12, 2004, 14:27

Is this going to be playable as the Cubans? I really don't want to play a scenario where the great US bully beats the crap out of another defenceless nation

I'd much rather whoop some yanqui ass....

Viva la revolución!

Art of War · January 12, 2004, 14:58

Hold on...I'll re-upload GAME FILEs in a minute.

Art of War · January 12, 2004, 14:59

i think it could be played either way, i'll playtest it.

Art of War · January 12, 2004, 15:36

how do I make it where neither side can negotiate with one another?

edit: nevermind. got it.

It has been a pleasure

Art of War · January 12, 2004, 21:45

how do I make an event that if you destroy a certain unit, you lose money?

POTUS · January 13, 2004, 01:37

Use the trigger: unit destroyed, then change money.

Art of War · January 13, 2004, 09:36

but do you have to put like -400 or something so it doesn't add it?

Art of War · January 13, 2004, 15:16

well, the invasion of cuba went great in my first playtest...until I took Habana, then the nation split into Civil War! Comm. Cubans vs. The Souix! how do I stop this from happening?

yaroslav · January 13, 2004, 16:38

The @NOSCHIM event

curtsibling · January 13, 2004, 18:52

Are you sure that you want to get rid of that? If sounds like a rather cool feature (ie, the capture of Havana causes the country to split into Pro-Castro communists and Anti-Communist nationalists).

Incidently, if Bush is in office at the time of this invasion, the operation would probably called something like 'Operation X Freedom' ('Cuban Freedom' most likely). 'Freedom' seems to be Bush's key phrase (though IMO it results in a lot of his diplomatic and military inititives sounding a lot like ads for female hygiene products

)

Boco · January 13, 2004, 19:23

Yes to SCHISM's!

Enjoy the beach you *******!

With all the snow we're getting this winter, mebbe Bush will launch this just to open Cuba up for tourism.

That would certainly provide a double meaning for the military phrase 'hit the beaches'

POTUS · January 13, 2004, 20:58

I''d tend to agree that a civil war, except for the US and Neutral powers would be good. Then you can have faction infighting.

Art of War · January 13, 2004, 23:14

Well here's the rub:

I have the US and CIM lumped together as one civ, then Castro's forces as another. I'm going to go NOSCHISM for now. Maybe v2.0 will be different.

POTUS · January 14, 2004, 00:02

I'm not you, however, I wouldn't put Cubans with America. They both have completely different agendas, the US make sure that the chaos does not get out of hand, and if possible, remove Communism from the Western Hemisphere, and Cuban freedom fighters simply want Cuba.

Think of it this way, Cuban revolutionaries would attack America if they thought it would help them, and visa versa.

Art of War · January 14, 2004, 01:14

yeah i know...that's why i'm thinking of adding "CIA Backing" to the CIM so that it gives it a bit more of a realism...maybe CIA "advisors" already in field. It's a short game though...i made it 20 turns, by Days...

Arthedain · January 14, 2004, 09:58

Is it ready for a release soon then? It sure sounds interesting, especially if it's playable as the Cubans too
