OzzyKP: When Rocoteh gets a chance he will link saved games that load much faster, but it still will take some time on a slow machine like mine. I managaed to load the full scenario in only an hour!

It DOES take a lot of time if you have an older machine; having a few books you want to read helps between turns. I've read about 9 books playing these big Civ3 scenarios this past month!
Rocoteh: Scrapped those plans to play Japan as soon as I saw I could play Turkey.

I suspect after seeing their total lack of improvements it is going to be a while before I launch any attacks. This time around I will spare you the city by city routine and try to focus on anything unusual.
Week 36- Germany takes Brussels, razes Amsterdam;UK declares war on Greeks. All of this is a bit earlier then I've seen it happen. I had debated jumping on the Greek fleet myself, but decided not too;now I have no easy prey to get promotions for my navy.
Week 37- I DW on Greece anyway to get into the action.
Week 38- US DW on Chile,UK DW on Norway. Probably the 'running into subs' routine... Italy lands 7 armored div. and 1 cavalry regiment on Cyprus;I guess the AI DOES know how to use transports.
Week 39- Poland dead,about typical I would say from my 3 previous games. Hammerfest? in Norway razed(UK?). Cyprus falls, of course.
I am builiding infrastructure,it's going to be a slog for me to get going I am afraid. The Iron Works being buildable in the capital is a nice touch though. The Soviets have parked a nice shiny MRD on my eastern border, no doubt to show off the new stats.
Some notes: I see you changed the prices on some buildings, but some remained quite cheap, was that intentional? I refer specifically to Police station,Temple,cathedral,coloseum, and mass transit. I am religious so that may be part of it but still... I think you forgot to upgrade the US paratroops, them seem weaker then the new version of standard paratroops, at least according to the pedia. My one Turkish BC still only has a ROF of 1, is that intentional? I saw you upped the ROF on Heavy Crusiers. Thanks for including the recon plane, I promise to build at least one.

I want to see what others have to say about the new tougher navies,looking forward to reading reports on that. Good job!
p.s.- I neglected to mention in my France reports that after US DW on Soviets I saw a big Soviet naval force sail by my city of Reykjavik with a transport,headed to New York. I don't think they made it but it is interesting that they tried!
