WW2-Europe XXL

CellKu: well, it noone wants the Axis, I will take it, I'll just get defeated in my own scenario... shame on me....
who's taking the Allies then, I'd say it's enough if either the Soviets or the US is human, no need for both....
so who's signing in for the Allies?

About Nachos's sig: My girlfriend is from Spain, and she sure would get mad at your sig, be carefull with it....
What happened is a very bad political story, the goverment was voted out of office not because of the Bombings, but because they lied about it.... THe socialists had promised to withdraw the troops a long time ago, so what should they do know, keep their promise and seem to bow to Al Quaeda, or breake their promise just to seem hard on Al Qaeda....

Very nice, so I have the chance to side with you. (I was kind of afraid of tackling you as an opponent! )
As to the different civs: best would be to have someone in addition to the others to play as the Allies. But if that is not possible ( ) than I would support your suggestion.

yes i would certainly vote for someone who lies to get reelected. name someone who has kept all his electoral promiseses according to the opinion polls José María Aznar would have won the election if it wasn't for the bombings, with other words the bombings did the votings, usama bin laden wanted the troops out of irak and used the spanish people for it. i find it quite creepy...

if u want to discuss more i guess we'll have to use private messeges.

 

[aeldrik]

ok, here 's the actual stand:
we have players for the Axis and Italy and players for the Commonwealth and the Soviets,
players for the US and even France are still welcome in the next couple of days...
I will try to start the game and send it to you with a short description of what to do over the week-end....

I suggest the following rules:
Human players are not allowed to make alliances with the neutral nations, beeing:
Spain, Switzerland, Portugal, Ireland, Iran, Turkey, Iraq
all other nations can be attacked, captured at will....
The soviets are not allowed to declare war on the Axis before week 13 of 1940, the Allies can attack them earlier (otherwise the Axis will get stuck without oil in the first turn.,..).
This will be a team victory, meaning no need for the Allies and the Soviets to fight each other, just defeat the Axis and Italy...

hope we can all agree on these things, otherwise let's discuss it here....

EDIT: And off course, the US will not fight against the Commonwealth, and can be brought in against the Axis at any time... (if it is AI), if it is human, it should only join the war week 1 1940....

 

[CellKu]

Okay, I would go with these rules. One clarification though: Did you mean no alliances with neutral states AND no attack on neutral states? I think so, but that wasn't really clear from your post.

Could you enable Italy to start at the first turn. In the saved game for Italy that you gave me I had to skip the first turn (I think the "skip first turn" was flagged).

 

[aeldrik]

skip first turn is flagged for all except Germany and Soviets, as these two start by attacking Poland and the Balts... I'd leave it that way, as Italy and the Allies only came in the war later...

Yes, I meant also no attack on the neutrals... no one goes after them... no Germans in Madrid, no Soviets in Istanbul, no brits in Dublin, ....

 

[CellKu]

Okay, if only Germans and Soviets can move during the first turn, then let it be that way. You are right with respect to historical developments. (I should have had a closer look at the other civs, sorry.)

On my 1.7ghz computer it freezes everytime it gets to the last little bit of the load, that configuring scenario part.

 

[aeldrik]

Ecksey, on your PC it should take at least 2 hours starting the scenario, did you wait that long?

 

[Esckey]

Yep, I knew it was going to take along time so I took a nap while I waited, about 3 hours later it was still the same, little bar hadn't moved a bit

 

[aeldrik]

hmm, then I can't help you... starts fine with my PC... sorry...

 

[CellKu]

Esckey, did you also try loading a saved game? That should work - at least.

 

[Choopchik]

hi
i've downloaded the 1.06 ver and installed as u said and all
and while opening the scen it told me he couldnt find "german anti-aircraft.ini"
can u check where is the unit from?
thanks
cant wait 2 play ! looks like a great great scen !

 

[aeldrik]

there is no german anti aircraft unit, you probably mean the german anti tank unit, that is I think only from PTW, so it's in your PTW Extra WW2 units folder... copy them to the scenario's units folder...

 

[Nachos]

shouldn't the scandinavian nations be neutral? for example: sweden was neutral but traded with germany and had a sort of RoP treaty with them. none of the scandinavian declared war with anyone wich makes them neutral. though denmark and norway were attacked but they were still neutral such as the benelux countries. they were neutral but still attacked. so historically seen u should be able to attack neutral nations (if youre axis perhaps?)but perhaps that would unbalance the game.

+ i hope u find a way to make sure the ai countries wont make alliances perhaps by enabling it in a tech only availible to the human players or u can also, i guess, let them make any alliances they want.

here are my ideas, do with them whatever u want

 

[Gojita]

Hey can I get in on the WWII multiplayer game?

 

[aeldrik]

@Gojita: US is still free. also
to all: I am still missing the E-Mail from Palmerston, how long should we wait for him?

@Nachos: I made all AI's unable to make alliance the same way you suggested for version 1.06.. only the "big five" have the tech to make alliances... what I am calling neutral nations now is the nations that didn't get involved in WW2 even though the Germans/Allies sure tried to get them on board... (such as Ireland, Spain,...)

 

[Gojita]

OK please put me down for that spot on the US. I've been wanting to play against human ai for so long lol. CPUs are great and all, but doesn't cut the cake.

Are there any other countries available?

 

[aeldrik]

well, seems like the soviets are also free?

everybody, should we wait for Palmerston, or give the soviets to Gojita?

 

[CellKu]

Where is Palmerston? (Well, stupid question.)
I think, if he doesn't show up anymore we will have to consider that he isn't available any longer. However, to give him a last chance, I would suggest, we should wait till Wednesday - I think many people check the forum, when the new announcements on the main page are up. But after that we should start playing.

Btw, is there any chance we could find an additional player?
