Middle East PBEM

It was replaced by more historically fitting Golda Meir. Founding Mother.

It was replaced by more historically fitting Golda Meir. Founding Mother.

Which unit was she again?

Anyway is this your idea of a joke? I have a great merchant but not the technology for any of the food corporations but both technologies for the production corps but no great engineer.

 

[Tigranes]

Great Artist. She can start Golda-n age for you No joke, just balancing act, one shouldn't be able to claim Mining Corp right off the bat. Especially if it is always the same "one"

 

[Tigranes]

Kurds finally scored their first victory! C'mon Iran-Iraq-Turkey, give them a city to live in peace! Isn't it unfair that nation of 20 mln lready living in Kurdistan has no state of their own, while 12 mln worldwide Jews been given a homeland they need to populate first?

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

Historic peace treaty between Israel and Egypt!
(also Iraq, but I couldn't be bothered to find a picture with them)​

Spoiler Too bad I couldn't find anything from before '79 too :

Here's hoping for a lasting peace between our peoples!

Btw what's up with the lack of Copper on this map?

 

[Tigranes]

Replaced universally with Iron. No early internet: )

Replaced universally with Iron. No early internet: )

Well that's stupid. Why is it all your changes to the scenario are only making it worse?

 

[Tigranes]

Care to explain? It's better not worse. I always playtest the games I host, and my ability to get Internet by 1950s as Israel was ... bad. The fact that Israel always can found Mining Corp right from the start is also bad. And stating opinions without explaining them is also bad

On the good note I am thankful to all the players for great pace of the game (1 turn per day). This is especially important for the game that can potentially last 700+ turns before someone arrives to our times and win by Time

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

In your test game you were dealing with stupid AIs, not intelligent players. I have to divert much more resources for my defense. I doubt I could pull off the Internet before the 60s, even with Copper.
And what about the spaceship parts too?

 

[Tigranes]

"Stupid AI" would never come up with idea to make peace in 1948! Plus remember I was playing Israel before I gave it to you , other humans are in the same advantage/disadvantage . Your Israel is my 4 unit strong Kurds with 1 pop desert railway station Capital. Yiu can do alot if you play smart. Remember that Eastern and Western Block present on the map do not represent the entire might of cold war empires, but only resources dedicated to Middle East. Internet and spaceships came to middle east in 90s

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

Actually Jordan is willing to make peace, I only want to liberate all of Jerusalem first.

It still bugs me. Couldn't you have modified tech costs instead?

 

[Tigranes]

Just take it slow and steady. Hey, it's still possible to get what you need, with slower pace. And no I had no desire to mess with XML.

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

Jerusalem, the eternal capital of the Jewish people, is finally reunited and free! Unfortunately many brave young men and women had to give their very lives to make this dream come true, and their memory shall never be forgotten. This triumphant victory finally convinced the governments of Jordan and Lebanon to end this senseless bloodshed and let peace reign, though the Syrian regime is still continuing the war.

 

[Tigranes]

Wow! This was ... fast. RL Israel did this in 1967 war.

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

To be honest it was only possible because of the recent peace with Egypt, which allowed me to concentrate most of my troops in one spot instead of heaving to spread them out across two fronts.

 

[Tigranes]

No wonder. SP Egypt only signs peace after I capture entire Sinai. I hope Rodrigo knows what he is doing. I had to keep my mouth shut!

 

[Tigranes]

Inter-Arabic war! The moment Syria made peace with Israel it was attacked by Iraq and Egypt! Soviet government condemns this attack in strongest possible terms!

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

Actually Syria made peace with Israel only after this new declaration of war.

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

In celebration of having made peace with our neighbors and liberated the most holy of cities the ancient Temple of Solomon has been reconstructed in record time on the Temple Mount. At last our people's long journey and suffering is at an end!

 

[Tigranes]

Greek Communist suffered heavy defeat from government forces this turn Without support from Soviet Union -- Red Greece becomes impossible. Remaining communist forces were ordered to evacuate Greece as soon as possible.

Meanwhile Damascus has fallen to Iraq, who is apparently in bed with the West! Baghdad pact becomes a reality. New Syrian map was bought from Syrian government in Aleppo in order to assess the situation!
