So what's happening with this game?

We can always play my gigamap version of 2194. That way everyone will be updated, and I can test it out.

So what's happening with this game?

Somehow all of pap's AA batteries were moved around by the AI, despite the fact that AA batteries in this scenario have a movement factor of 0. So we thought it was a version problem, but it seems that we have the right versions too.

The only solutions I can see are to

1) Redo the turn, and make sure Pap does his Ctrl-N perfectly. Even though the AA batteries do have 0 movement points and are still magically being moved by the AI, then that will still be made irrelevant by ctrl-n'ing and/or using lazyciv. The only reason I don't care for this much is because this time he may avoid the defeat he endured in the first game. I guess I can tolerate that though, since I'll still win

2) Just do pap's gigamap scenario, even though it's untested. I wouldn't mind that, it'd still be fun.

Hello fellas, stopping by to see whats up. As far as I can tell this is what has happened.

Someone loaded the game (after Pap's last turn) with an incorrect rules file. What happened was that even if Pap presses Cntrl-N, when the new files was loaded the AA batteries in question were suddenly given movement allowance they hadn't had before. In this case it does not matter if he pressed contol N during his turn, becuase there would be no way for him to cancel out the movement given when the new bogus rules file is loaded.

AA batteries now all have a free movepoint and the AI takes over from there for you, nice eh?

[Darius]

Aha! Thanks Klesh, hoped maybe someone involved with the scenario would be reading.

Ok, I hope I get this right, so now everybody check their rules.txt file and make sure the AA battery info is as follows:

 

[pap1723]

Yep, my rules file matches.

Pap

 

[Field Marshal Klesh]

Here is the proper rules file entry for 'AA Battery' in version 6. It matches Darius' and Pap's.

[Darius]

Good.

We need confirmations from everybody.

Yeah I knew that bit Was more wondering why noone had replied to the thread in days. As for the versions issue, the reason I know I have v6 is *because* the AA batteries have 0 moves. I think we should move onto the giga version.

 

[Darius]

Me too. I think we should just go ahead and do the giga just because if we keep bumbling about rules files like this one or more people are just gonna stop coming. Let's just have sas play out the Jap turn on the giga version and get going again.

 

[sas]

sure thing, i will play my round later tonight. In about 10 hours

 

[pap1723]

SAS, before you go, get Version 0.3, it is much better than the one before.

There seems to be some problems with the new version. In most of my cities (Japan), there is a massive lack of food. Just to give you an example:

 

[Darius]

dude, the pikemen should have been the first thing to notice. run the 2194.bat batch file in the scenario folder, then it works.

 

[pap1723]

Thanks Darius, yes, run the batch file, and pick choice 1.

Pap

 

[sas]

lol !

To be completely honest, i didnt even look at the units. I took one look at the food situation and thought something was wrong.

Anyways, thanks Darius !

Too bad i'm going to work now, but i will play later tonight.

[sas]

The save/report will have to wait untill tomorrow. I have played for one hour now, and i'm still not finished.

All i can say is wow ! This scenario is huge....

But i will finish my turn tomorrow, promise

-Sas-

 

[sas]

Wow, this scenario totally redefines the word huge in my book when it comes to Civ2 scenarios.

This is the report of the major events. I would allso like to note that the number of Chinese troops in the only Chinese city i attacked where incredible. I didnt count, but i think i killed about 15 infantry units before breaking the defence of the city.
