Damn, I was going to go tonight, but I must have a different version of the Rules file, I think it is the newer one from CivFan, Academia, which file are we using for this one?

Pap

Darius871 · January 2, 2003, 08:37

How do you know the rules file is different? Was the AI moving other peoples' units or something?

Ok. The deadline has expired.
Pap you can take command of NATO forces

And yes, you are right; you have a different rules.txt file

EVRYBODY (except Pap

FYI, Germanos found this important bug:

Guided missiles apparently don't have to end their turn i a city/airfield. I have one hoovering the North-sea now

The new rules.txt file solves that problem

Pap1723 · January 2, 2003, 14:58

I don't think the USA player remembered to hit CTRL-N.

Right before it is my turn, the USA units start moving all over the map outside of the cities. Someone might want to check this first.

academia · January 2, 2003, 15:16

Damn!! ok. i´ll try to contact yaroslav...

yaroslav · January 3, 2003, 18:29

Ok, I have loaded my file and press CTRL+N. Here is the new file... I beg your pardon

Pap1723 · January 5, 2003, 03:57

Nothing much happened.

El León · January 7, 2003, 02:18

Played my turn.
Modem is broken.
Will post my turn tomorrow, though.

Edit - err. "By tommorow" I mean on the 7 of January. Hopefully no later than 16:00 GMT.

NEWS from Asia:

* In near simultaneous events, several US warships were sunk in the Gulf of Tonkin by Vietnamese airplanes, while another US warship was sunk off the coast of Korea by Chinese airplanes. According to military sources, the warship was belligerantly maneouvering in Chinese waters.

* Chairman El Leon said that sinking in Vietnam of a major US warfleet has been a major blow to the US war initiative and called on the US to understand that they are fighting a war they cannot win. He vowed to continue economic assistance and logistical coordination with the People's Republic of North Vietnam.

EVERYBODY!!!!!
Emugod found an important bug.
All the civs, with the exception of USA, can build railroads!!!!
PLEASE!!!! DON´T DO THAT!!!!

Obviously, solving that problem implies to start the game again... and we don´t want that, right?

So, we´ll have to trust each other. ok?
Please, don´t try to cheat. It´s very easy to notice the railroads

If you have already build some railroads, i urge you to pillage them. please

El León · January 8, 2003, 19:26

Ok, ok, I guess I'll go a-pillaging.

In other news, El Paso is a little misplaced in Mexico.

It is on the US side of Texas, way on the other side of the country.
At the location where it is now, there is only minor towns in Baja California (Guerrero Negro or Ciudad Constitución are the closest), but Tijuana, which is a huge manufacturing center, is relatively close by. Even if you don't nudge it up a couple of squares, I'd still rename it Tijuana.

Uh! Perdon!!!!! Veo que cometi un grave error

Gracias por la informacion, lo modificare en la version final

hey! bump king

It´s your turn

conmcb25 · January 8, 2003, 23:43

Thanks I almost went to sleep before playing this

Ho Hum turn

Arab League Position:

IRAN
We don´t care what the soviet chairman may think of this, but we´ll make it public.
During private negotiations with the USSR, the soviets threatened that they would invade and nuke the entire muslim world if their demands were not met. Specifically: capture Iran without arab interference.

We know that we may have tried to contact US or NATO for military assistance... but as result of the soviet´s agressive response to our proposals, we believed that a US-Arab pact would lead to WW3.
We don´t want to be responsible for a nuclear holocaust and the end of the human race.

The Arab Alliance decision is that: we won´t intervene in Iran. If US or NATO wish to challenge USSR in the area, they are free to do it.

ETIOPIA
We have more important matters in our agenda that requires our inmediate attention. And one of them is the menace of Etiopia. This rogue state is a threat to our security and we are ready to put an end to this rebel, anti-muslim state.
Please, this is an internal muslim world problem. We´ll take care of it. ok?

SUEZ
The Suez-canal has been nationalized. If foreign navys want to cross the canal, they´ll have to pay a small fee.
We´ll also close the persian gulf.
The Arab League government considers this waters as part of our nation. If you want to sail them, you´ll have to make an official request.

A couple of things:
1) In a civfanatics PBEM, Emugod found an important bug.
All the civs, with the exception of USA, can build railroads!!!!
PLEASE!!!! DON´T BUILD RAILROADS!!!
2) In other civfanatics PBEM, Germanos found this important bug:
"Guided missiles apparently don't have to end their turn i a city/airfield. I have one hoovering the North-sea now"

Please, everybody download this new rules.txt file:

Darius871 · January 13, 2003, 17:53

- The USSR in its benevolence has agreed with the Arab League to divide Iran into North and South Iran, with capitals at Teheran and Shiraz respectively. North Iran will be defended by Soviet troops, and Arab troops will defend their Muslim brethren to the south.

- Communist rebels have seized control of Honduras and welcomed Cuban troops to restore order in the country.

yaroslav · January 13, 2003, 18:38

USSR:

Monroe doctrine forces us to say it only one time: get out of America! We'll figth any russian movement in our backdoor! Honduras is a independent nation that doesn't reserve a communits goverment. Communism is not the solution for the problems of South and Central America.

In response to all this movement, we hav supported a 'pronunciamiento' on Mexcio, and now the cities of Monterey, El Paso and Mexico (the whole Mexico country) are secure on the hands of a democracy government that will support civil rigths on the country.

We demmand from the Russian goverment to remove all its armies from South/Central America or we'll take measurements. We'll not attack Cuba if URSS retires from the continent.

CHINA

We've conquest the city of Hue in behalf of the South Vietnam republic. However, we have show to the whole world that our power is still unbeatable and we would sign a peace teatry where we will return the city to China in exchange for a permanent Border on Korea and Vietnam.

-------------

BTW, as a side note: I've noticed that I didn't downloaded the new rules.txt. Do you know if they are important? Did they change the movements of the units? Must I replay the turn? I hope Academia can answer it before getting vacations; if not, I'll replay the turn, so NATO please wait to move until we heard something from Academia (if he doesn't answer soon, I'll replay the turn with the new rules..)

academia · January 13, 2003, 18:47

Specifically, these are the modifications included in the new rules.txt file:

* J-7, F-5 and Arab Mig-21 movement increased to 9
* M-163, Type 63 movement increased to 2
* All tanks movement increased to 3
* ZSU-23, M109 defense reduced to 3
* Guided missiles apparently don't have to end their turn i a city/airfield. PROBLEM SOLVED

yaroslav · January 13, 2003, 18:50

Ok. All changes improve the units, excep the defense. But I've only attacked, not defended, so I think that I don't need to remove the turn...

What do you think?

academia · January 13, 2003, 18:53

In my opinion, we should go on with the game.
No problem

academia · January 13, 2003, 18:57

Guys:
I´ll be away for 7 days. However, i didn´t ask for a substitute in this PBEM.
I´m really interested in this PBEM; i´m developing a cautious strategy here. I´d really like to mantain control of the country
Could you be patient and wait till my return? Only one week

yaroslav · January 13, 2003, 19:05

For me it's ok. You're the designer of the scen, after all

Darius871 · January 13, 2003, 19:19

Fine by me.

Darius871 · January 19, 2003, 00:25
