Creating food supplies trade??
EG.

I noticed in Red Front for Civ2 that Vorkuta recieves 1 food from a nearby city.

I want to create food links for Leningrad so that when the nearby cities fall to the germans it will cause the city to starve.


How do you create a food link b/w cities I thought it was by using a Trade unit but no.

Please help.

I was under the impression that it WAS by using a trade unit. Just pick "food supplies" as the commodity. Why doesn't that work?

I just tried it on an old RF 1.5 save. As Elok suggests, it should and does work.

To get food trade route

1. CHEAT MODE, R click on Viipuri, CREATE UNIT/ADVANCED/SUPPLY CONVOY.
2. R click on Viipuri, EDIT UNIT, Select Supply Convoy, CHANGE COMMODITY/FOOD SUPPLIES.
3. Note food supply situation in Viipuri & Leningrad.
4. Deliver unit to Leningrad.
5. Viipuri city window will now show food trade route to Leningrad and 1 fewer food supply icons.
6. Leningrad city window will show no new trade route but there will be 1 extra icon in food supply.
7. Use Hex editor to clean up.


@Colwyn
Why are you doing this to us poor players?

Hmm I have a problem because I have the first turn saved as the german player to make these changes How can I "move" the created freight unit to create the food trades in the german turn.

If I switch to soviet player, the ai runs through the turn and once I get to be the soviet player its July41 before I can made my mods and then save it as a scenario but by then..

The following should work if CivCity doesn't.

1. Beginning of German turn.
2. CHEAT, Destroy all units in Viipuri.
3. Hex edit Viipuri to be German city (i.e. change ownership)
4. Do the food caravan bit as previously outlined. There is no problem with German convoy delivering food to Soviet city. You will have to use freighter to get past the Fortified Battery blocking the Viipuri-Leningrad road.
5. Hex edit Viipuri back to the Soviets.
6. Change human player, SOVIET and rebuild units in Viipuri.
7. Change human player, GERMANY
8. Save game.
9. This should leave you still at the beginning of the German turn but the food supply should be changed for both Viipuri and Leningrad.

Would you be so kind Agi!
To do it for me, I want to get the game out soon and i'm still working on RF2 for CIv3.

Would be much appreciated.


I was thinking of having about 4-5 food convoys ie

Narva, Novgorod, Tikvin and Keitela (closest northern city near fininh border) or whatever number will cause Leningrad to lose 3-4 population points(when all but Tikvin is captured by germans, per winter "with" the player irrigating local squares. ie player to lose more if they don't irrigate local squares before winter.

Note use my RF1.5 winter rules file as I have moded it to provide less food in winter than standard RF.

Ahh I'm telling you the obvious you seem to know what I'm up to so well anyway.

Downloaded game.

Food convoy approach cannot work, the logic and the situation in Leningrad are not right. Check your e-mail for comments and solution.
