You sure you're not just forgetting to unzip it? I made the same mistake when I first played in gigamap PBEM's, and I thought this might be it since you were able to play the Hellas turn with no problems.

jim panse · June 10, 2003, 04:25

China salutes the heroic people of India on their anti-imperialist struggle, warns against dangers of soviet revisionism.

USA salutes with pleasure the Spanish incorporation to NATO. Spain is wellcomed to the organization, we hope that our allies will force to spain to install a democratic goverment and remove Franco as soon as possible

Darius871 · June 26, 2003, 21:13

If you dub yourself the Bump King you must accept the responsibility...

Guys, I'll play by tomorrow or so

As I hope I'm gonna be gratuded next week, I want to announce that i'll be out from July the 6th to July the 14th or July the 15th (San Fermines in Pamplona! Wow!)

as a 'special holydays' I will take. If you want, I can search a replacement for USA, but as this game is running very slow, I think it is not necesary.

Sorry guys, I know it is not very fair, but I'll delay the post of this turn a days more, because I'm still involved in diplomacy affairs. I'll try to move before the Saturday, becuase I want to do a notification of abscence:

I'll be out of city from the Saturday to July the 15th. I'll try to connect the Saturday in order to move my turn, if possible

yaroslav · July 5, 2003, 17:13

P&P

BTW, Russia, I'm still studing your retalations for invading India

yaro, sorry for this question but: why are you posting a turn named "USSR"? i thought you were playing the US ....

yaroslav · July 19, 2003, 17:04

Sorry, I posted the rusian file, not mine

BTW, I wanted to say, dear Darius, that I was studing the way to relatiate you for invading india. Does make it sense in English???

jim panse · July 21, 2003, 04:03

Not really... it sounds like you're considering how you will retaliate against me for my invasion of India. Is that right?

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
After analyzing the results of a soviet and a NATO/USA first strike in different tests, i came to the conclusion that we must do something to prevent these "unrealistic results" of nuclear warfare.
I mean, it´s obvious that in a turn-based game (and in the case of a nuclear war) we face the problem of "the one who strikes first wins / has a considerable advantage"
Because, if you are able to destroy between 90-100% of the nuclear forces of your enemy, you can prevent a nuclear counterattack. AND THAT´S WHAT HAPPENED HERE

Some of you may remember my original idea of the "ICBM Regeneration"
The command is simple.
Example:
If "USA ICBM" destroyed by "ANYBODY"
THEN Create "USA ICBM" in "a specific location" (i´ll give you 5 or 6 possibilities)

So, in case of a soviet attack, all the ICBMs destroyed by the soviets, will "magically" appear again in the american soil.
In other words, the construction of the missile implies its use.

Why should we use this?
Because in real life, the nuclear responce would happen while the emeny nukes were in the air.
That´s because the player that suffered the attack, MUST HAVE A CHANCE TO RESPOND!!!!!

These were the options i proposed some months ago:
"Civ2 turn based game style" (no possibility of "nukes in the air") VS. "Real life situation" (MAD)

That time, we chose to go on with the current situation, with the same rules...
Time went on... i personally believe that we should test the other idea.
Remember this guys:
Nuclear responce would happen while the emeny nukes were in the air
MAD was a real possibility. We should recreate that in a cold war game
Benefit for a first strike (nukes+conventional warfare), but also a retaliation. THIS IS NUCLEAR WARFARE!!! Remember, no winners in a nuclear war

NO WINNERS IN A NUCLEAR WAR!!!!!!
Nuclear War shouldn´t be the first option, but the last one. Ok?
Players should understand the implication of using their nuclear arsenals

This time it won´t be so easy, so simple.... EVERYBODY MUST SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES OF A NUCLEAR WAR!!!

One more thing:
Sorry guys, but i´m not asking for your opinion this time.
We´re going to do it. ok? I really wanna test it and i need your help.

Please, EVERYBODY MUST DOWNLOAD THIS FILE:

Darius871 · July 21, 2003, 18:06

What the... I thought this was already implemented!

jim panse · July 22, 2003, 05:56

Darius871 · July 22, 2003, 08:22

El León · July 22, 2003, 10:01

Hey Jim - I think you forgot to press CTRL-N cause your NATO folks are running around and breaking alliances...

jim panse · July 22, 2003, 11:27

You´re right El Léon! Here´s the file:

After issuing warnings, Chinese bombers assisting the Vietnamese people in their struggle for freedom have sunk a US submarine at the gulf of Tonkin.

conmcb25 · July 24, 2003, 12:51
