New PBEM - 8 players!

[borgg]

how can you claim China was only Greece or Scandanivia and was just waiting for slaughtered?

I know these facts about china and reality in WW2 ;-). I was talking only about this scenario. Maybe i underestimate the chinese capabilities. But i think its hard to apply the way of warefare (mass of people) to civ4 here. Can China produce this waves of infantery here? I guess no.

But we have 8 people here who are all commited to play. I think it is not right to throw out anyone.

I dont want to throw anyone. I thought we are lack of one person now and we are 7 !? So than i was mistaken, sorry.

I don't think it is any easier for the Axis for the default, if we are comparing it with combining Germany and Italy and giving it to one player.

great britain wont have the fighter production from Australia and Canada anymore. No idea whats happening to india. These crazy intermix there is horrible. However you turn it, canada and australia will not participate as they should do.

Well, that's what I said, i think the comment was wrong both historically and in the scenario. I definitely have simulated that situation in China. I think human China vs human Japan will reach a stalemate.

That's fine then. I wouldn't mind playing the Chinese team.

You've got mixed up with previous versions. India is all controlled by Britain.

Put it this way, who do you think would suffer more? removing Italy from Germany? or removing Australia and Canada from Britain? I think it is hard to say.

By the way, I have spent some time looking at combining nations last night. It is much harder than changing the order. I've got to fix up the unique buildings and unique units. I also have to fix the culture. All of these can not be done by simply search and replace all in the entire file. It needs to be done city by city, unit by unit. It is going to a huge task.

actually i expand my map-vison tool to a scenario builder. you will be able to do most ugly stuff automatically.

I am willing to see it

Is ther any chance of removing Helicopters from their current tech and moving them to a later one ... I'm finding it way too easy to zip around with my Attack Choppers wiping out enemy tanks way too early in the game (on single player of course )

 

[Geronimo20]

Well, I just read your proposal for a position in the game (team of Scandanavia and Iberia). If the offer is still valid, I would be interested. Thanks!

 

[Genghis_Kai]

While we are already discussing to restart the game because we could not find a replacement, I think we all welcome you to join and continue the current game. Am I correct guys?

Geronimo, would you please PM me your email address?

 

[borgg]

I Agreed to this.

 

[Adhesive86]

Sounds good to me.

 

[Fandazma]

very nive and welcome Geronimo. So we can play then, I hope.

 

[Genghis_Kai]

As a matter of interest, I have spent some time thinking of a balanced setting for a 9 player game. While we are going to continue the current game, I just wanted to share it here:

1) Germany + Hungary
2) Italy + Finland
3) Japan + Manchuria
4) Russia + Mongolia
5) CPC China + KMT China
6) France + Netherlands + Norway
7) Britain + S. Africa + Australia + NZ
8) Canada + America
9) Spain + Portugal + Brazil + Argentina + Chile

AIs: Sweden, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Iraq, Saudi, Iran, Nepal, Thailand, Mexico, Colombia, Peru

Sorry if I do not participate in the discussion so much atm. I'm currently in job negotiations, and might end up 1.100 km / 700 miles from here in a matter of 1 month. Hope you understand that my head is filled with other stuff at the moment. So if you can bear with me being a bit slopy answering for the time being, I'd be glad.

Good luck for your job negotiation I have also just moved house the last weekend and I thought I will be delaying the game during this period, but everything turn out to be quite well.

BTW, I have received the save from Geromino tonight and start playing my turn. I think I will pass my turn tomorrow night or latest Saturday. So Bastian, hopefully your weekend is free for your turn

 

[Genghis_Kai]

I have just send Jan 1940 turn to Bastian.

 

[Bastian-Bux]

turn received, I'll try to work on it tomorrow, as my time is severly limited at this time. *pointing to my previous post* Hope you can stand with me being slower then usual.

 

[Bastian-Bux]

turn out to South America.

 

[borgg]

received february turn from south america. Will do my turn tomorrow. Here its 11:15pm now and i have to get up early.

 

[borgg]

What? What air fleet?

So how many French cities have you captured this turn? If none, I think it can considered as Allies winning the turn; if one city, it can be considered as neutral; anything more than one, it is Axis winning the turn.

 

[borgg]

4 Cities. -> Axis Victory . But i guess you only talk about european cities.

Africa:
The one close to Adis Abeba, Tunis and Gabes. In Tunis i got 2 french Bombers and 1 dutch Fighter on ground and in Gabes 1 more Durch fighter.

Europe:
I got marseilles. Nancy had too much troops left. I had only a few losses but all in all not enough bodycount to get all. But i guess france cant hold it next month.

And my oilfield in romania is well prepared for your attacks. 5 fighters waiting for you. . I put them in initial turn to hungaria yet. So just try...
One question: why you put them to lvov and not to greece? Is there any advantage in that you wanna share with me?
