Historically, Israel should be controlled by neutrals and attacked by barbarians. However, this really is meaningless as no one will care, it will just be eye candy.

For gameplay issues, the USA (from an historic standpoint) is likely the best.

If you do decide to reverse the Middle Eastern allegiences, Israel could probably do well as a WARPAC nation.

You can create barbarians via events if you text edit the file.

Why are Liberia, Madagascar, Java, and New Guinea controlled by America?

EZRhino · April 26, 2003, 18:37

The colony of Liberia was originated by the U.S. as a haven for freed slaves.

Boco · April 26, 2003, 21:42

Moving several hundred miles east of Madagascar, when was Diego Garcia first used as an American base?

EZRhino · April 26, 2003, 23:10

It has always been British, the U.S. started leasing it just after WW2.

Agh hmm curt, for Red Steel to happen in 1945+ you will need to ensure it doesn't fall in 1941, we are waiting for your turn in RFDG.

Some screen shots, showing the current look of the scenario!

British/Israeli Assault!

Euro elements spearhead a NATO Invasion!

A Soviet Mastermind rallies his troops in Eurasia!

MIGs over Moscow!

The might of the Soviet Red Banner Fleet!

The NATO Fleet steams toward another battle!

Paul Hanson · April 28, 2003, 07:21

I have but one, hyphenated word to describe this: sh1t-hot. If it plays half as good as it looks; let's just say, I'm glad I've just finished all my uni work for the next month or so.

Iron Chancellor · April 28, 2003, 09:47

awesome, literally, I am full of awe. My only suggestion would be to add a north-south railway from Krasnovodsk, but regardless, that looks great. So will China be under Mao or Chiang, and with which bloc is Israel allied?

curtsibling · April 28, 2003, 10:14

Mucho thanks, guys!

I hope to make the scenario an interesting gameplay experience,
not just war-fighting, but with extra goals of hampering your rival.

Iron, I take your rail proposal into consideration!

PS
China is under Chiang, and at this stage, Israel is NATO-supplied.

Palaiologos · April 28, 2003, 13:38

Greece should be in NATO control as well.

Iron Chancellor · April 28, 2003, 14:40

Sounds good, but, as always, who will be the USSR's friend? :sad:
What do you think of a seperated People's Republic of China? (Part of WARPAC, probably would have existed as a USSR satellite had the US not failed to dissuade Chiang from launching 'one final blow' against the Communists, weakening his forces drastically and sealing his fate.)

rmsharpe · April 28, 2003, 16:27

I'm drooling over those screenshots, Curt...gimmie gimmie gimmie!

fairline · April 28, 2003, 17:58

Looks fantastic Curt, as ever. When will it be finished?

curtsibling · April 28, 2003, 18:17

I hope to have this baby in play test-mode in about 2-3 weeks!

A long wait, but I will be working flat out, so I might get done quicker.

I want to get this scenario done and onto my next project(s)!

China is a seperate civ, with the choice of NATO and WARPAC as allies...

Or perhaps becoming the 3rd superpower!

Iron Chancellor · April 28, 2003, 19:38

Ah, sounds good...I was thinking of China as fundamentally a US ally, but it could go either way.

Harry Tuttle · May 2, 2003, 17:48

Hey Curt,

I know you're probably almost done with the units, but I was wondering if this one might come in handy. Be warned though, I've been having trouble with getting the colors to work in Civ2.

It's the Arado ar E. 555-10 long range/high speed flying wing bomber. It's the 10th design that was created before the project was cancelled in 1944. Feel free to mess with the camo.

-HT

curtsibling · May 4, 2003, 07:05

@Harry!
I am very impressed with your Secret Luftwaffe Units!

I may very well find a use for them in a upcoming project!
Right now Sov-Steel is fully-packed for units.

But who knows, things may change...

EmuGod · May 4, 2003, 10:38

How about making China in the middle of the Chinese civil war? You could simply place lots of barbarians in China for the Chinese player to have to overcome in order to unify the country,

Harry Tuttle · May 4, 2003, 13:54

Cool Curt, they're here if you need em

curtsibling · May 5, 2003, 06:21

@Emugod:

Perhaps, It will give the Chinese civ something to focus on!

@Harry Tuttle:
I will look into trying to squeeze one of your super jet-wings into the game.
If not, I promise to use one in Dictator III for ToT!

Iron Chancellor · May 5, 2003, 12:34

And of course Dictator III will be ported to Civ MGE, right?

curtsibling · May 9, 2003, 14:23

Sorry for lack of communication, folks!

Been busy offline, but now I am back.

@Iron Chancellor, yep eventually D3 would be made for MGE, but for ToT first I reckon...

I plan to get this Soviet Steel ready for play test this coming week.

No more delays!

Iron Chancellor · May 9, 2003, 14:43

Can't wait, may I playtest?

Pablostuka · May 9, 2003, 15:51

yeah, I would like to playtest too
