In an MP game you can actually cede territory and pay reperations, as well as send military units in a much more effective way than in a PBEM game.

Scott, including the Easter Rising... a stroke of genius!!! One of the most important moments in Irish history, if the Irish had been vistorious, who knows how the war would have finished. A crucial moment in the 1st World War, it has been sadly neglected, until now... Congrats are in order! btw the rest of the scenario looks fabulous too!

I can't wait to try this out!

Scott F · October 13, 2001, 08:35

You'll be happy to know that in the series of books on which this scenario is based, the Irish uprising succeeds. A lot of other stuff happens too, but I don't want to give the books away for those who have not read them or are still reading them.

The scenario is great and until part 5 (late 1916??) it works absolutely fine, but if I load part 5 and then again try to load gw.sav civ2 crashes!
Can anybody tell me, whats wrong?

Scott F · October 14, 2001, 16:15

That's strange.

Has anyone else had that problem?

I'll test part V later today and see if I have any problems.

Jimmywax · October 16, 2001, 14:01

I was just wondering if you had seen the excellent tanks and planes made by Hobbes.

Scott F · October 16, 2001, 15:06

No, actually I haven't. Url?

I'm going to do camo schemes for the various tanks/barrels, but I can't decide on which schemes are most appropriate. The choices are below. Any ideas?

Scott F · October 23, 2001, 18:13

Oh, and I've arranged a multiplayer PBEM game (unless I can't figure out how to set it up). We still need a CSA, a France, and a Russia to get started. If anyone is interested, they can post their claim here or can visit this thread and a different forum:

http://www.tb3.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/...c&f=4&t=000012

JamesJKirk · October 24, 2001, 00:42

I think I'll stake my claim to the CSA, I trust my human opponent will put up more of a fight (and strategy) than the AI.

I've never done PBEM though, so maybe I'll have to learn how to do that somehow?

Jimmywax · October 24, 2001, 01:01

I will take France if it is not already taken. I am a virgin to PBEM's so I guess someone more experienced will have to guide me through it.

Case · October 24, 2001, 01:46

Scot, IMHO the combination of green & grey looks good for the Germans, and the light and dark green combination looks good for the Americans (not that I actually have a clue how AV7's were historically painted

)

Also, I'd download the MGE patch for ToT and join in, but I still have some uni work to do

Scott F · October 25, 2001, 03:04

Yeah, I like those two also. I'll go with them.

I 'm still fairly clueless about PBEM games, but a couple of others that decided to play have done them in the past and promised to help those of us who are clueless. At leat it won't be the blind leading the blind.

Case · October 26, 2001, 02:30

I just got the MGE patch working and I have been playing around with the scenario

IMHO it's bloody good

I thought that it was harder then that

Are you sure that you didn't leave out the step that calls for the replacement of Windows with Linux, or the sacrafice of a goat?

Don't forget the sacrifice of your first born, Hitler's left testicle, and Rachel Hunter's thong.

Scott F · October 28, 2001, 01:20

I also had the same problem with Civ crashing after I ran the
batch file for part 5. Any advice?

Soundwave · November 27, 2001, 18:41

When are you goning to post a FIXED scenario, coz its raelly good, untill!!!! LATE 1916!!!

Please advise??

Scott F · November 27, 2001, 19:18

I've fixed the problem. Seems that there were one too many events in the event file.

I haven't uploaded a new version yet though. I was sort of waiting until I finished the last two new fighter plane units (a Nieuport and a Sopwith Pup).

Case · November 30, 2001, 02:46

Scott, are you going to release this scenario to other sites? (eg Civ Fanatics, Apolyton, etc)

Scott F · November 30, 2001, 09:42

Yes, someday once I get the last two planes made, the multiplayer finalized and the single player variants done.

Soundwave · December 19, 2002, 03:50

When wil it be done?

H Tower · December 19, 2002, 12:59

Scott's gone Soundwave

his last post was back in June

Michael Daumen · December 19, 2002, 16:35

Does it breach protocol for a playtester to reveal the link or provide the files? I would love to check this out (although the next book is come and gone).
