    Over the Reich: Single Player - Development Thread

    Hello all, @Prof. Garfield and I are teaming up once again to focus on the skies over Germany, this time trying to bring Over the Reich into a solid single player experience utilizing the powers of Lua. This thread is for its open development and observation. It's easier for us to work this...

    The Cold War II - Development Diary Thread

    With the release of ToTPP v0.18, which includes substantially more unit slots and technology slots, as well as the progression of Prof. Garfield's excellent lau template (and my own growing confidence in using the system), I've decided to go back and rework my Cold War scenario. In the...

    Shortcomings of the Base Game - Lua Fixes?

    This thread is inspired by some discussion in the HoF thread regarding aircraft carriers. There are some elements in the base game that simply do not work as intended. Either the AI can't handle them (aircraft carriers) or they are extremely exploitable (I'd argue fortress construction right...

    The Hinge of Fate - Development Thread

    Well, I've been dropping enough hints in other threads that I suppose it's time this one has it's own. I've been building a scenario called The Hinge of Fate ("HoF") for the past several years that details the European Theatre of WW2. I'd argue it is pretty darn close to being completed, and I...

    Coronavirus MP Challenge Part III

    There was some interest in starting up a new game in the other thread. I know @Prof. Garfield made some relatively minor changes to @McMonkey 's "A Soaring Spirit" to help streamline the MP experience. That has always been a fun one, but I'm open to play just about anything. Anyone else...

    Images Question

    Does anyone else get this issue with their .bmp? I've noticed this for the images in the larger improvements icons, and now I'm also noticing it while adding it into text events. Any idea what is causing this or how to address it? It's quite annoying and happens "more" but not exclusively...

    The Thread Where We Discuss Boats

    I enjoy boating (well fishing, mostly, but fishing from a boat) and have owned them pretty much as long as I've had a job. I'm interested to see what boats some of you either have, or the types of boats that you have in your neck of the woods. Who the major manufacturers are, what they are...

    The American Nightmare

    I've been doing a little bit of thinking as I might want to expand on Cold War and build a new scenario, "The American Nightmare" that would detail the United States' presumptive fall from global hegemony in the 21st century coupled with the rise of China, India, Brazil, etc. In Cold War I had...

    A Cold War for this Cold Winter... Multiplayer Game

    I'm hoping I can find 3-4 of you who are interested in playing a match of The Cold War 1947 - 1991. I've been playtesting this fairly extensively over the past few months and am pretty sure I've caught all game breaking bugs (but, with nearly 30,000 lines of code... who knows). I've attached...

    Wifi woes

    Well folks I had the internet company here for 3 hours earlier to no avail. For some reason totally unknown to me, 2 days ago our wifi suddenly started cutting out every now and then. It seemed to get worse over the past two days, with it cutting out every 2 or 3 minutes today. Now that the tech...

    New Modpack released for those who enjoy the base game

    @Knighttime has just uploaded his Medieval Millennium in the Scenario League forums. While I appreciate not all of you enjoy "scenarios" this really isn't one - it's a modpack that gets every last drop of juice out of the Civ2 Test of Time game engine. Go check out the release thread. If you...

    Game mechanic question

    Hi, Does anyone know how the amount of money taken per city capture is calculated? Are there any improvements or conditions that reduce or increase the amount captured per city?

    The Cold War: Playtest Thread

    Hi all, Attached please find my "coronavirus project," The Cold War. I thought it would be good to get it out to folks ahead of the long weekend in case you're still isolating and bored. I'd greatly appreciate it if some of you would download this and take it for a spin. I'm hoping that in a...

    Coronavirus MP Challenge II?

    Is anyone up for starting another game? I really enjoyed our match of American Kingdoms and would like to play everyone again in another scenario. Ideally one that offers fairly short turns, which was one of the nice things about AK. I was thinking perhaps Warlords of Bitterfrost as it's a...

    OTR - JPetroski (Allies) vs. Prof Garfield (Axis)

    @Prof. Garfield we can post our turns here. My initial bombing raids don't do as much damage as I would have liked but we start a few fires in the Ruhr. Nighttime airstrikes launched in Belgium against airfields but nothing is destroyed--just damaged.

    OTR match, anyone?

    Anyone up for a match of OTR? I'd play either side.

    The Cold War 1947 - 1991

    Hi all, I think back in 2011 I started a thread about a proposed Cold War Scenario. I really don't want a repeat of the OTR creation thread where you have to wade through years of work to find something relevant (and I don't foresee this scenario taking 9 years to build), so I've started this...

    The Battle of Midway - Playtest/Feedback/Release Thread

    Hi - Would anyone be willing to help me playtest this? If you've been scared off by OTR this is a much simpler scenario where you can dive into air combat a bit... This is a pretty fast-paced scenario so I'd like someone who is stuck at home and has time to get through it relatively...

    Over the Reich - Post release feedback, bug support, hints, etc.

    @Prof. Garfield and I have released what we hope will be the final version of Over the Reich. We are starting this thread for post-release support as a 43-page development thread from 2011 is probably a poor place for that. This scenario has been a doozy to create and consumed most of my Civ2...
