A new PBEM utilitity

[yaroslav]

Hello!

I'm working on a new utility for PBEM games, that allow human players to make barters withouth using civ2. So, you can do exactly the barter that you want.

The utility is written on Java, and will run on PCs and MAC OS X. I post two threads about the utility on my favourite forum: The apolyton Spanish Forum

http://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60812

Any feedback will be very appreciate. Also, I think that we can start a PBEM game here to test it, if enough beta-testers are avaliable and you find usefull the utility!

Thank you in advance

Hola ,

Tambien funciona si la pesima posicion politica (por ejemplo: venedeta) normalmente impidiria tratados diplomaticos???

Does it also work in cases where the miserable diplomatic position (i.e. vendetta) would normally make diplomatic trade???

 

[Henrik]

Yup

 

[W.i.n.t.e.r]

Coool

what is the difference between the two versions- if any ???

 

[yaroslav]

W.i.n.t.e.r: I forgot to update the message. Now you have a link to Civ2 Diplomacy version 1.1

It's now on English, Spanish, German and Italian

And yes, it's work between humans players even if diplomacy position is too bad

(Nice Spanish, BTW)

Gracias companero (hecho de menos la 'enye' en este teclao)

That's just perfect, since the AI doen't accept bartering for units if they are not sufficiently advanced- not can I at the moment make diplomatic trade with some players, do to past 'troubles'.

Ok, ya lo baje del server- a ver como va...

 

[yaroslav]

If you want to put Ñ you can push ALT+164 (on CivFanatics seems to not work) My utility doesn't include units interchange now, I'm working on that

If you want to practice Spanish, you can always visit the spanish forum on Apolyton. But don't abandon CivFanatics for that reason

Any suggestion about the utility will be always welcomed

 

[W.i.n.t.e.r]

yes, it would be nice to include a customizable interface (so one can put one's pic in there... and yes, a unit selection device would be great !!!!!!!!!!!

Are maps included (like in the MP where either maps or maps/units can be revealed) ???

 

[yaroslav]

Map, Units and Cities are my next touchstone.

Currently, my utility only supports Gold, Tech and Teatries

 

[W.i.n.t.e.r]

Me mola !!! (engl. untranslatable !!! )

i'm gonna move this to the PBEM forum so it will get most visitors

 

[SunTzu]

here ya go!
I recommend all PBEMers get this program so in diplomacy u won't have to screw around with the AI

 

[SunTzu]

Yaroslav, could u sent the program to Thunderfall, at Thunderfall@civfanatics.com
So he can put it up on the Civfanatics downloads section

 

[yaroslav]

I do that. Thank you for your advice. I hope the program will be useful. Currently, althought I have recieved some support, I don't any PBEM where my program is used. I hope in the future, when I add the unit/map/cities support, things will change

 

[SunTzu]

yes, well i know in the Great Napoleonic Battles pbem that i'm in, we could use it due to Britain not being able to give money to anyone

 

[yaroslav]

I've send a e-mail and a PM to thunderfall. I hope the program will be avaliable on this site soon.

About GNB PBEM (good scen, BTW) if you use my program, please let me know, so I can be proud of my program. I have tested it, but if a bug appears, please send me a e-mail or a PBEM.

Thank you again for your support and sorry for my bad english

 

[SunTzu]

No worries about the english, u talk better than most american's

 

[yaroslav]

I'm working on a 2.0 version of this utility, that will allow units/cities exchange, so I'll more than pleased if you can enligth me about how can be done this in a fair way.

My main concern is to find a way that disables cheating. For example, if you can interchange all units ever, a tank can be used by two civs: only need to exchange it every turn...

If you can exchange a city, you can do sell Wonders, or use a wonder together with an ally...

Some suggestions?
