Thanks Galv, but i had already downloaded Civdip from the Spansh site.

Unfortunately units' exchange isn't available yet.

Turn coming up....

You can always gift units in an online meeting...

FRANCE:

In an outstanding manouevre the Reichswehr captured the city of Nantes. The two french infantry divisions defending the city were routed. Moreover two french destroyers anchored in its port took fire from the 6th artillery brigade's guns and were sunk.

PRUSSIA:

The cities of Stettin and Danzig were liberated and all opposing Russian forces were eliminated, as the 2nd Sturmtrooper division rushed to the rescue.

FINLAND:

Infuriated at the fall of Danzig and Stettin the Kriegsmarine switched objectives from Riga to Helsinki, the Russian tsar's and English king's birthplace. Not properly defended, after a short bombardment the city fell to a marine assault. The atrocities that followed were justified,according to the German General staff, by the prolongment of the war in the east and the loss of many comrades.
No citizen, be it Slav or Finn escaped from the German wrath....
All males of military age were hanged in the town square and all underaged children were shipped to Germany to work in ammunition factories. All suitable females were used by the weary German soldiers. Any property of value was confiscated by the officers and the larger part of the city succumbed to a great fire that "accidentally" occured in the market district. More than 200.000 people lost their lives in the sack of Helsinki.
The scale of the mass rapes was such that it is said that Finland will never again raise arms against the Reich since future generations will have more than their normal share of German blood....
It will be long before the Finns forget this day of dread.

MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS:

The Ottoman and Austrian monarchs yet again refused further military aid by the Reichswehr. Scientific aid was received normally however.

More comments:

The "Colonial troops" tech is researchable by all, and the african unit available by it, is buildable by all.

Which shouldn't be, cause the unit carries the french flag.

The Italian people is horrified by the cruelty of the war and the Germans in particular. Italian King suggests that all warring nations do not permit such horror again.

Italian Curia sends an offer of free trade pact to the USA which allows Italian and American goods to be traded freely via the atlantic.

Nilat · November 8, 2003, 14:12

Russia will not tolerate this!! Even though the finnish people have been rebelious, they do not deserve that!

We will liberate Finland back and they will respect Russia more, than after what Germany did to them!

FiGu · November 8, 2003, 16:10

*British King Hears What happened* HOLY *** ****. WE WILL MAKE YOU PAY WITH 100 Million Germans!

*Kings Pushes 'Launch Nuclear Missile Button* Muahaha... uhm... Doh! There ain't no nukes!

Ok. We accept that offer.
Feel free to trade with USA

Somethings strange here ... last turn I was able to build a trade-unit ... that is, as long as I am not insane ... :? but this turn, I cannot build it and it is renamed red army ... am I dumb, is my Civ2 crapped ... or what happens here ??? I WANT MY TRADE UNIT BACK !!!!

Palaiologos · November 9, 2003, 08:00

Nothing wrong with your civ2 game there, Atze.

You just used an older rules.txt.

Use this one.(It doesn't have the Colonial troops fix though).

1. Can't we include trade units ... pleeeeeaaaaaase ??

2. What the ***** **** **** hell are more and more german infantry units doing in northern Italy????? You said to withdraw them immediately. Give a good reason or say farewell to these units and the peace with Italy!!!

academia · November 9, 2003, 13:09

WHAT??????
NO MORE TRADE UNITS????
Are you serious????

Damn! did i miss something???
What version are we using????

and please... INCLUDE TRADE UNITS

I really hope i missunderstood this situation...

Palaiologos · November 9, 2003, 15:25

Cool down fellows. I suspect there is something wrong with Jim's updated file. Perhaps he "updated" an older rules file.

@Mr Atze
The German infantry in northern Italy are protecting Austrian territory.They are all within Austrian borders.

If you are reffering to the units north of Ravenna, they are simply engineers building RRs protected by an infantry unit. Will remove them on my turn.

As I am a trusting man, I will trust you once again. Just do not betray Italy. It is a peaceful nation, but as I said before, we can fight if necessary. You need your troops elsewhere I suppose.

Moreover, why should german units protect Austrian territory, and from whom?? I am no threat, unless I am forced to be... Remember my words, du not betray Italy!

As i said they are simply engineers. They will withdraw on the next turn.

The Austrians are curently busy fighting the Ruskies and can spare no men for the Italian front and thus the defence of the Alps fell to the Reichswehr.
The Italians have betrayed the Central powers before in the past.

I'll be frank with you man. I will not attack you, but there is no way i am letting down my guard. For all i know your "neutrality" could be a ruse to buy time and prepare an army to invade Croatia or something.
The troops near Innsbruck will stay put.

Had we intended to attack Italy we wouldn't have ceased the bombardment of Italian cities. It must be remembered that it was the treacherous attack of the Italian navy that forced German aggression upon the Kingdom of Italy.

Historical Atze · November 9, 2003, 20:33

And I will do the same with you: My neutrality is true. Believe it or not. Yet, in order to protect Austria you do not have to have troops directly next to my cities. Withdraw them and everything is fine!

Palaiologos · November 9, 2003, 20:57

Okay deal goes:

The units from 162,80 will immediately be withdrawn.
The units in 159,79 stay. Its not like they are occuping industries or something

How about it?

Historical Atze · November 10, 2003, 19:08

Denied of course!
Boy, what is your problem? I allow you to stay within Italian borders, that is more than most people would accept. The troops from 159,79 move to 160,78 and the troops from 162,80 to ... whereever you want them unless they are next to Ravenna or Milano!

Man you are risking war again! Is that what you want?

Moreover the Austrians have kaiserjäger at the border to italy.... why should you protect them against someone who is no enemy... what you say makes no sense.

Nilat · November 11, 2003, 01:01

The russians votes "YES" for Italy attacking the untrustworthy Germans!

jim panse · November 11, 2003, 04:53

Chaps, I think I solved the problem with the disappearing Trade Unit

Please download that file here below. Thanks

Btw, let me know if this is working ...

There is no vote. Only one causality ... german troops withdraw -> peace
german troops don't -> war ...
So I'm sorry to tell you, it is not your decision

Well damn! Well, you wouldnt be much help though... Italy never wins wars..

Historical Atze · November 12, 2003, 09:07

Well ... ask yourself, did Italy fight wars? Since when does it exist? In todays form (slightly changed though) it exists since ca. 1860 ... since then it fought 2 real wars: WW1 and WW2 and as you might now, WW1 was won ... just as a hint

FiGu · November 13, 2003, 14:20

Turn.. 7 German Units are wiped out from the face of the earth. No Geneva Conventions were followed. Everyone totally Dead. thats over 100.000 German troops. Revenge almost done...

Historical Atze · November 13, 2003, 19:57

Are you sure that they are really totally dead or are they at least still living a bit? Maybe they only play being totally dead and fool you

Historical Atze · November 14, 2003, 13:37

It is my turn and I am well aware of that. Yet I will not play it until i have a decision pro or against war from the german high command.
The sooner you make up your mind Pal, the sooner i can play and you may stop waiting
