Oh, and the damage to manufacturies around a bombed city is a nice touch, but a way to conduct long range bombing missions would make it truly awesome. As an idea, previous Civ games had a way to conduct recon flights within range of your aircraft, revealing areas of the map. If you could send...

If the player, as Germany, is letting any USSR convoys through they're being awfully kind to the AI. Since Soviet convoys have only one route they can take, it's child's play to sink them all with a small U-boat force based out of Narvik.

Anyway, for my last kick at the cat I played Britain. Deity again, events and alternate history off. Britain is also hardmode. Not quite as bad as France (although that could have been changed had I played with events on perhaps) but close. Unlike France whose sole job is to hold the front...

Oh, no, that was just because I didn't realize I also had to capture Naples to knock Italy out of the war. I just thought there wasn't any scenario specific endgame coded. Once I read about the four victory cities for each major combatant, I went back and took Naples, and I got a little...

So what specifically triggers the crash? Specifically on the Huge Europe 1939-1945 Scenario map. I've been going to the end turn save and just deleting all the convoys with the IGE whenever it happens, but is there a specific one I should be focusing on?

OK, and my final run at the scenario playing the USSR. I actually tried it twice, the first with alternate history on, the second with it off. The alternate history game ended VERY quickly. Russia starts with virtually no army - just three tank corps and three rifle divisions. Also no war...

OK, so mostly finished my conquest of the Soviet Union in my German game. It was a bit too easy, IMO. The Russians didn't have much on the border so I pushed through with very little resistance. The few troops they did have I just bypassed and mopped up later. The first major battle was...

I've been using the standard R.E.D. mod for some time, and decided to give the WWII Edition a shot this past week. I've played through the 1939-45 scenario once as France, and was midway through another playthrough as Germany when the game repeatedly crashed on the end turn rotation...

I ask because I'm stuck in an unending peace treaty at 950 AD, and the only way I know to get out of it is a nuclear weapon. Which is obviously a long way away. I just want one nuke I can detonate somewhere on the edge of enemy territory (probably out to sea) that will break the treaty and...

Yeah, I've seen a serious lack of them as well. On Immortal the British used a handful of guided missiles on my ships, and I saw several aircraft stationed in the Japanese cities (just the number indicator, no idea what type) but that's it. This really bugs me, because I really like air campaigns.

Pretty satisfied. I like most of the changes, and I think the game we have now is a good, solid base to work from. If Firaxis tunes it up and releases the right expansions (I'd really like a diplomacy one - I want to lay trade embargoes and arms control treaties on people!) then I will...

Heh, in my Persian game (Immortal/Archipelago) I had 12 high level destroyers by the end, three or four maxed out the skill tree, and all had two attacks. They'd fought in the French and Songhai campaigns as frigates, then been upgraded to destroyers and continued leveling against the...

The nuclear missile is loaded on nuke subs and missile cruisers. The bomb goes on carriers. And you can have two missiles per sub or cruiser, and three nuke bombers on a single carrier - there's no limit beyond its normal basing capacity. The bomber actually has more range, but does less...

1.) You can only gain the first XP level from attacks on Barbarians. After that it has to be other players. When attacking other nations I've taken several destroyers right to the end of their skill tree. Even then they keep gaining XP, but now they can only spend it on healing. 2.) Yeah...

Thanks for the file location! I was annoyed that the official soundtrack CD only contains a fraction of the music. There was this one song I heard as Persia - Ghizemli - I was looking all over for. :D It's really a fantastic soundtrack. Oh, and I use MediaMonkey, which supports a wide...
