EXCELLENT NEWS!!!!
I´ve finished the scenario!!!!
Beta version is ready to playtest it!!!!

Anyway, the scenario is not 100% ready
Tracid is writing some events, so I need him to send me that as soon as possible (tomorrow perhaps) I´ll add them to the events file and that´s all.

Now, I´m planning to play the game myself. ok? To do some tests...
Just in case that "big" problems show up.
But in general terms, i think it´s ready.

I´ll begin the PBEMs tomorrow

 

[Pavlov]

Whee!

 

[Yop73]

Nice, what is the playing-order?
Does the USSR move first???

 

[academia]

Yea, USSR goes first.

This is the order:

USSR
USA
NATO
CHINA
Non-Alligned (AI)
SEATO
Arab League
Rebel States (Barbarian)

 

[Yop73]

Woohoo, first turn nukes on the USA. [dance]
You don't have the time to prepare yourself.

 

[PinkyGen]

That'll be the shortest playtest over. Of course, if you are too cowardly to nuke, I might do it my turn.

 

[Aravorn]

Nuke em till they glow! Then shoot them in the dark!

 

[Greeny]

Are we ready to start these PBEMs already?

 

[academia]

Well, talking about nukes...

Yesterday, i made some singleplayers tests...
As I thought, singleplayer it´s impossible because of the crazy AI. You´d like to hear this...

In one ocasion, i was using SEATO. And as you may know, USA and China are at war at the beginning of the scenario, right?
You know, in the first turn USA NUKED 15 CHINESE CITIES!!!
Holy ****!!! They used 15 nuclear missiles against China.

Now, i´m goint to post the zip files here. And i assume that we will begin the test in a few minutes. ok?

A couple of things to point out...

* I assume that some of you won´t like the graphics. Why not? They aren´t nemo-style. It´s a personal decision; i simply don´t like those graphics. I prefer more realistic ones.
You don´t like them? You can change them
I´ve done that in other scenarios.

* I think we should propose / establish some rules regarding the "units market". ok?

* No sound included in this version. Do I have to create them?

* I haven´t finished the texts that accompany the events. ok? They aren´t vital to play this first version.

 

[academia]

The maximum file size is too small!!!!
It´ll require like 10 zip files!!

Why don´t you give me your e-mails? i´ll send you the files by mail. ok?

 

[yaroslav]

Alejandro, must I join to this PBEM? Or are you going to start another one?

Your most humble betatester is willing for play

Regarding the sound-files: it isn't necessary, but it would be the "finishing touch", if you understand me.
Btw. you're only finished with the part from 1964-1970, right?

 

[academia]

An idea...
What if we move the tests to apolyton?
The file size problem is extremely annoying

 

[academia]

So???

Apolyton or Civfanatics?

 

[Aravorn]

Apoly it is less of a Fascist site.

 

[PinkyGen]

I'd rather play here. dsg27@cornell.edu

 

[academia]

Ok. Let´s do this:

First, I decided to post the files in Apolyton.
So, please go here:
http://www.apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?postid=1550413&t=9294#post1550413
and download the game

Second:
I´m going to open both PBEMs here. And a third one in Apolyton. ok?

Let´s see what happens... Time will tell if we will be able to play 1, 2 or 3 PBEMs. ok?
