I Fancy trying a zwk PBEM game.

Where´s pap? he has to start the game!!!!!
 
FYI. I did a couple tests with LazyCiv (using MGE 1.3) and it "seemed" to be working. By that I mean it was renaming the ends of long city names, so the recording part appeared to be working.

I didn't do a comparison of cities production after re-opening with it or without it, to see if it would have changed without lazyciv, so I'm not sure that part works yet, but I have no reason to think it won't. At least it didn't change my production when I lost cities that I noticed. I'll try to use it and I will just have to take it on faith that it works.
 
Did you try using LazyCiv version 1 or 2?

I'm also going to try using it in my ZWk game and see if the city names change. Since it was made for MPG, and that's what I have, I figure I can also try testing it. This way we can try to see if it will work in an actual PBEM game.

I don't see myself losing any cities anytime soon in that game, so the actual act of it working may need to be tested elsewhere.
 
I just downloaded lazyciv2 from the link in the first post in Xin Yu's Lazyciv2 thread. I wasn't about to mess around with hex-editing save files. I know my limits.

As the minor allies, I should lose plenty of cities :( , so we'll see how well it works.
 
It´s my turn to move? Or someone is playing with the independients?
 
Pap:
What version do you have? I notice a slight diference between the location of my units.
I have the 2.2 version; and when i choose to begin scenario and play as the allies; there are a couple of differences.
For example:
In my game i have: spitfire, AA battery, merchant ship and allied div. in Brighton.
In your savegame: i don´t have the spitfire

But this is the most important detail:
I´m my version i have 113 and in your savegame 99.

Is there a version problem?
 
I looked in my version of the scenario as the Allies and Brighton does have a spitfire and there are 113 allied units. Just to see if it was some goofy AI stuff, I played a turn of multiplayer as the Axis, then checked the allies and they still had 113 units and that spitfire in Brighton. I didn't look for other differences yet. I will continue looking to spot the differences, but it looks like we may indeed have a problem.
 
Yeah, but I don't think we told him to do 2.2. I'll PM him and tell him to redo his turn with that version.
 
It definitely is a version problem. I looked at the file from Pap and the Minor Allies city NW of Paris is called Caen which has been changed to Cherbourg in 2.2. We really should use the latest version.

I agree the axis turn should be replayed with the 2.2 patch applied.
 
One more thing...

I was just looking at the zwk3 thread and one of the players seems to have disappeared. Are we going to have a "Key Master" for our passwords in case this happens to us?

(I wonder if we can actually get this game started before we hit page 3! ;) )
 
Don't worry about your turn, Pap's gotta redo the axis.
 
Well, i was right them. Does this usually happen? You know, version problems?

Please Pap, download the new version and redo the axis
 
Here is the new one, sorry about the problems, now that things are fixed I will make sure everything moves along much faster.

The U.S.S.R. reluctantly makes the decision to align with the Allies in this world war. Although we have no desire for war with either of the Axis powers now or in the future, we have but no choice but alignment to assure our own security, and our concerns have culminated in the Treaty of Warsaw, which will protect Poland and Greece from Axis agression.

The cosignatories, which include representatives of the Soviet Union, Britain, France, Poland, Greece, the United States, and Canada, have agreed upon the following terms (among others which will remain secret):

- Poland is now an official protectorate of the Soviet Union:

1) Any attack on a Polish city by Axis or Minor Axis forces will result in the U.S.S.R. declaring war on the party(ies) who attacked.

2) Any attack on a Polish unit which is within Poland's borders (see attached pictures) by Axis or Minor Axis forces will result in the U.S.S.R. declaring war on the party or parties who attacked.

3) If any Axis or Minor Axis units cross the border into Poland, the U.S.S.R. will declare war on the party or parties who infringed on that territory. Although troops are not allowed across the borders I will define, Axis cities may use any land squares which are accessible to their cities but lying in Poland.

4) Polish-built Minor Allied units are not allowed to attack the Axis in any way; they are only to be for defense. Likewise, non-Polish Minor Allied units are not allowed to attack the Axis from Poland.

- Greece is now an official protectorate of the Soviet Union:

1) Any attack on a Greek city by Axis or Minor Axis forces will result in the U.S.S.R. declaring war on the party or parties who attacked.

2) Any attack on a Greek unit which is within Greek borders (see attached picture) by Axis or Minor Axis forces will result in the U.S.S.R. declaring war on the party or parties who attacked.

3) If any Axis or Minor Axis units cross the border into Greece, the U.S.S.R. will declare war on the party or parties who infringed upon that territory. Although troops are not allowed across the borders I will define, Axis cities may use any land squares which are accessible to their cities but lying in Greece.

4) Greek-built Minor Allied units are not allowed to attack the Axis in any way; they are only to be for defense. Likewise, non-Greek Minor Allied units are not allowed to attack the Axis from Poland.

- Soviet troops soon will begin to gradually occupy some, but not all, of the cities of Poland. Greece, meanwhile, will be considered an independent nation and will not be occupied.

- As should already be obvious, the Soviet Union will be neutral toward Axis agression against France, Britain, and their colonies.

Hopefully this is clear. Hitler may ask any questions he may have, and we all hope that he will comply and not commit to an unwinnable death struggle with Mother Russia over the useless buffers of Poland and Greece.

Finally, here is the Soviet declaration of the borders of Poland, to make clear the definitions of infringement:

Hitler is dead, so he understands very little. Even if he was alive he would be the downfall of our country. Fuhrer Rudolf Hess understands the demands laid out by the Russian leader, but he makes the demand that if Germany is thought to be led by Hitler, we will be forced to attack.

Germany asks the question...
Is Russia at war with us because of thier alliance with the Allies?
What does this alliance entail?
What if forces from Poland attack us?
We cannot sit around and let them attack us at will.

Oops, next post.
 
These are the borders of Greece. Note that they include sea squares, meaning that Axis sea units are included in the definition of infringement:
