Downloaded and looked around a bit, but didn't play much yet. Looks really good. The complete lack of railways, or even roads is a major problem for the Soviets. You should at least give some roads between some of the cities. Also I don't see France as much of a problem. Not much point in them. Also found that the Americans are more than willing to give up their cities. Most of these things i've mentioned aren't actually problems though. Thank you for making this scenario, I have been waiting months for a WWII scenario.
 
Brilliant! I cannot wait to go home, download it, and start playing it. Any possibility of posting a screen shot or two?
 
hope these are good enough.....

just took a quick few as i am a wee bit busy at the mo

also sorry if there a bit small but the filesizes are doing me out of good sized screen shots! :mad:

they should give you all the details etc that your looking for hopefully.....

Looks good. I've been waiting for a WWII scenario since a few days after the game came out. And, since WWII: Small, Fast, and Beautiful for IV isn't coming out anytime soon, this will be a very welcome new mod. :goodjob:

I'll post later after I play for awhile and tell you what I think
 
Okay, I'll just post comments as I go through the game.
You have a great scenario here, with a fantastic and detailed map. Please take the following comments as suggestions and not criticism, and keep in mind that many of these are opinion-based, so I understand if you don't agree with me on those.

I'm playing as Mussolini, Chieftan Difficulty, Quick Gamespeed

- I noticed you don't have any custom leaders. I could easily make a few static ones. Should I make those and then send them to you? You'd then have to make it into a true mod, but I don't think that would be a problem.
- The first turn, for me at least, was very long and was really just a series of fortifications and automations. My suggestion would be to have all those infantry that are in the cities already fortified (or at least one fortified per city). Also, I would suggest just having all workers preset to automated, considering all essential resources are already available at the start of the game.
- On the second turn, Hitler converted to Christianity, which is incredibly historically inaccurate. Hitler was very resistant to religion because a God would take away from people's fait in their Fuhrer. Is there a way to make Hitler resistant to religion in the scenario?
- Free France was destroyed by Hitler on the third turn. I'm not entirely sure if you should make Free France stronger in defence, or just remove them.
- I know that some of these edits may not be possible due to a number of factors, I just wanted to point everything out so you know what could be improved. Btw, I know I've been sounding very critical, but I really am having fun with the scenario :D.
- I'd strongly suggest new flags. I have both an Italian and a German flag that I think would be great for the scenario. I can post them later if you'd like.

- I'm taking up a lot of forum space here, so this will be my last comment. For America, the leader is FDR. There is an FDR leaderhead prepackaged with the game. So, why are you using Washington? But anyway, I just wanted to say that this really is a fun scenario, and is a much needed first Civ IV WWII scenario. Great work!

Ummm, hate to break it to you, but from the historical accounts I read, Hitler received vital political support from conservative Christian Germans early on that helped him take control of Germany.

Hitler's own words: "I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord."
 
There are no small countries (civs) in your scenario :(

Yeah. Hitler, like Mussolini, made a Concordat(sp?) with the Pope. Christianity would be the state religion, as long as the Vatican gave its support to their regimes. Something like that anyway.
 
Been playing as the Soviets a bit and have encountered difficulties. The complete lack of any roads is a major problem. You have no resources, so cannot build any tanks or planes. Even if you did though, the fact that all the cities except from Moscow is level 1, and most have no workers in them, means that you can't build anything in you cities anyway.

Basicly all I am asking for it a new version would be roads between at least some of the cities, with roads to resources as well. Also if some of the other cities were larger and had land improvements already.
 
There are British, Fascist Italian and Nazi flags in the Desert War scenario, simply copy them to games root and hex-edit the scenario.
 
already tried the above for the flags and it didnt want to work

will take comments into cosideration and ammend accordingly for version 2
 
Hmm, I will soon try it myself.

If you think Hitler was Christian or that Nazi Germany was a christian state you better keep reading...
 
Thank you for making this scenario gerbilmuncher!

Keep tweaking it!

We desperately need a WW2 Mod, and this is a great start. I want to see from Normandy all the way through to Berlin. Good stuff!
