Dictator Mge

[CurtSibling]

Here is a new version of the rules.txt!

I notice a few things while playing and have fixed;

*H Class Warships and Super Battleships far tougher to reflect thier horrendous cost.

*Me262 is far more formidable. As a jet fighter should be.

*Artillery has now 1 move, this prevents taking all of Russia in 2 months!

*155mm SP Howitzer and SIG33 guns have now 2 moves for the same reason!

I thought is was a bit off how destroyers had a decent chance of killing a super battleship.
In real life, only attacks by squadrons of aircraft or battleship fleets could kill a beast like the Bismarck or Yamato.

This rules change makes things more fun.

archer_007 have you tried cutting down the event files first?
It may just be that the events file is too long for FW to handle.

This is a fair point, as MGE has more room for events...

Hey, Curt, whenever I play the Brits, about three or four turns into the game, the date, September or October 1940 goes back to the original dating system of 3500 BC or whatever it is. Have you had this problem?

Nope, I have nver came across that bug before...

I have played all empires, during playtesting, and this has never occured...

Has anyone else had this problem?

 

[SunTzu]

nope....never

 

[The Art of War]

hmmm.................

Art O' War,

I would back up all essential files, re-install CIV2 (if possible)
and re-download Dict MGE and give another try...

I have never came across this one,
I may just be a glitch with your CIV2.

It certainly is weird.

 

[The Art of War]

And its just with the Brits..

Just ended up download the MGE patch off this site so I could play. I've needed it for some other scenerios anyway.

The thing doesn't work at all with my computer. Whenever I try to start it up, I get an all-too-frequent "Illegal Operation" message. This is something I'm used to with this Windows 95 (aka, "Old Reliable") system. I've tried minimizing the screen before playing, but that doesn't help. Any suggestions?

 

[Greeny]

MajorGeneral this could be your problem:

It doesn't sound like you have exactly the problem I had, but it could have the same solution.

 

[MajorGeneral2]

Strangely, the scenario began working on its own yesterday evening, without me doing anything besides minimizing the screen beforehand. Thanks, though.

Hi Curt!

As you might know, we are playing a PBEM game of this scenario HERE .

The scenario is very restricted on what to do. It seems as it is not that 'open' after all. You can not attack the ones you like, due to alliances. Can you make a little change in the 'open season' version, making it possible to attack and negotiate with the ones you like?

 

[Greeny]

I think we have some confusion here, that PBEM is usesing the original "closed season", see my post on that thread.

hey Greeny if u need players go to the "Official Players Needed Thread" and put out an ad
