Hooray let's play Imperialism - Page 4

It would be unfair for Milan to be kept, Belgrade is probably ok. Milan is simply another route into France should Germany wish to attack them, and it's a pretty big and well developed city. I vote on leaving Milan undefended until the Independants capture it, then leaving it for a year or so to give them a chance to build up their defences.

Pavlov · August 21, 2002, 08:41

I think DrFell's idea sounds good. My vote's on that.

techumseh · August 21, 2002, 09:08

So, do I start the scenario, play my turn, set a new password, and post the saved game as a .net file? What level shall I set for the game?

Of course Germany, being under new, peace loving leadership, will accede to international opinion and withdraw from Milan.

Pavlov · August 21, 2002, 15:06

Prince. It's the right thing according to FMK's and Henrik's PBEM-guide at least.

techumseh · August 21, 2002, 23:19

I followed the instructions, so I think it should be OK. I noticed some French movement by the AI before my turn started, though. This is despite starting the scenario as the Germans. I hope it won't mess up the French move.

The German troops have been withdrawn from Milan, as required by international agreements. Troop redeployments have taken place, correcting the aggressive deployment of the previous, discredited Kaiser, which were clearly aimed at France. New deployments are more balanced and defensive in nature.

BTW, are the trade units supposed to be blocked by zones of control? This makes establishing trade routes very difficult and frustrating.

academia · August 21, 2002, 23:58

One more time, USA urge UK to end this nonsense blockade. Aren´t you the country of Free Market, Liberalism and all thess ideas?
And now you are blocking ports, sea routes?
Please!!!!

Did you notice any other movments, because I think when we changed it to the scn. it restarted it at the Russian's turn. But I am not sure, it messed up some of my stuff, but nothing I can't live with the Japanese and Russians should dl the german save and check and see if their stuff moved I dont know enough about what we did to know how to fix it though

No problems in the USA. Everythink OK

DrFell · August 22, 2002, 09:05

Britain has agreed to bow to international pressure and will begin removing the blockades next month.

Yup, that was intentional. Exile wanted to make coastal cities and sea transport more important.

Also, we congratulate Britain on their wise actions, yada yada.

DrFell · August 23, 2002, 10:35

Who's next?

academia · August 23, 2002, 11:39

Russia. Civfan...

DrFell · August 24, 2002, 10:21

Has he left the game???

Darius871 · August 24, 2002, 16:01

He seemed to be staying, and his last post was on the 21st at another thread so he hasn't disappeared.

Civfan · August 25, 2002, 20:57

nothing much happend. A city was taken over by the independents

Pavlov · August 26, 2002, 01:41

Oh, yay. I'll play when I get home again. Many hours of school to go I'm afraid.

Pavlov · August 26, 2002, 14:08

Civfan, are you sure you pressed Ctrl-N at the end of your turn? I'm sure I saw some unidentified units moving in Russia.

Also, some of my ships carrying trade units had begun moving beyond their previous position. They had moved a full distance the previous turn and somehow between turns they moved another turn.

The AI saw it fit to unload some goods on interesting places

and one of my warships made a mad attack on Korea. No production orders had changed and none of my land units had moved.

This doesn't really matter, the damage wasn't that big, I'd just like to know why and if I can prevent this somehow. Anyway, I'll dl LazyCiv and use that in the future.

Prometheus · August 26, 2002, 14:30

I think it messed stuff up when we got rid of the passwords, I dont know why Russia's units moved on your turn but I know mine moved beyond there last postion when Germany played his turn, I think when we did the Snc. file it reset our turns, hence everyone before Germany got an extra move via A.I.

Pavlov · August 26, 2002, 15:12

Oh, okay. Cheers Prometheus. I'll post my turn then.

Japanese news

Commercial investments!

Chaos in the merchant navy!
According to the Imperial trade ministry, several Japanese trade ships were taken off route. Two crews even mutinied and forced the captain to set sail towards Japan! This is all because of an anarchist who managed to infiltrate the Naval headquarters and send out confusing orders to several trade ships. This saboteur has been caught and will be punished for his crime. The Imperial Navy re-assures the nations of the world that the military part of the naval headquarters is completely free from infiltrators.

Captain goes mad!
Commander Shuiyiki on the IJN Kikijo was arrested yesterday by military police. He was arrested for ordering his ship to leave it's harbour in CLASSIFIED and sail towards Seoul. There he bombarded military positions of the Koreans.

The IJN reported that the ship was 'damaged but still fit for duty' and the Kikijo is currently returning to it's home harbour. Japan re-assures that this was an isolated event, a deed commited by a mad-man. This should in no way be seen as Japanese aggression.

The Imperial navy promises a thorough investigation will be made.

Emperor vows help to Korea!
After the unfortunate accident the Emperor held a speech in which he gave his deep apologies for the incident. He also promised that the Empire of Japan will protect Korea against any possible invaders. 'Nobody may take advantage of this tragic accident' said the Emperor.

The Empire of Japan promises that any aggression against Korea will be seen as aggression against Japan.

"This trade business is very tedious, Herr Chancellor."

"Patience, your Majesty. Empires are built stone by stone."

"Patience my ass! I wanna kill something!"

No news...

DrFell · August 26, 2002, 23:37

Britain has now lifted the blockade of the French coastline, and would like to announce it's full support of the new government in France. Hopefully, France will now be able to build itself into the economic superpower in Europe that it ought to be. We are also please to see Germany come to it's senses and allow Milan to rejoin Italy. It's good to see the destructive work of the former insane German leader undone by peaceful means.

As for the other blockades, they will be removed gradually in the coming months.

Civfan · August 27, 2002, 02:11

Russia announces a two for one split in the emperors stock. All hail the new dollar. The russian dollar is now worth 2 old russian rubbies.

The news has caused alot of confussion among the russian people but all are hoping in the reforms of the emperor. More food has been plowed this month than before.

Reforms in the planning!
-The building of schools. People in russia are dumb. They dont have any manors and drink to much. They well be reformed! This stated by the emperor of Russia. The Russian Senate has confirmed the name of Civfan.

This is an honor of an ancient order. Many hail this moment as a great achievement of the emperor.

Only three rulers of Russia have been given this honor.
One for his modest generously of resources to the people.
Another ruler was given this name for his battles of the east.
The third ruler was given this name for his powerful building program in Moscow.

So what does this honor mean. Civfan= A powerful presence in history, building and reforming.

What an honor!

Daily Moscow news out!

Wow, we're zooming along! Just to break the rythm I'll play when I get home.

Trade arrives at American west coast!

War in North America?
The Imperial foreign minister informed the press eariler today that the so-called independent nations are at war with the USA. Experts are still unsure over what consequenses this will have.

Japanese tradeship stopped!
The IJM Rakijua found that their path through the straits of Malacca was blocked by British warships. The Japanese government asks that this blockade will be lifted as soon as possible so that the route from Japan to India will be open.

German troops have reoccupied Milan to prevent further disorder. A few looters have been shot. Peace has returned.
