I hate to criticize a scenario, but Vietnam was historically a Russian client state, not a Chinese one

Would it make more sense to make Vietnam a Rebel country, but perhaps put a Chinese/Russian infantry in Hanoi so that a "successful" war would necessarily involve its backers?

Also, hadn't Yugoslavia split from the Iron Curtain by '64?

Well, i asked that question in the civfanatics thread. People told me to include that country in the Chinese sphere

The problem is that a Rebel State attacks everyone.
The AI may try to attack China too
Moreover, in the long run the country would end in USA hands. The AI is stupid, so the US player will eventually win the war without big problems.

One more time, I asked that in the civfanatics site.

In some way, these decisions (Yugoslavia, Vietnam) were decided in a "democratic way".
I asked the questions, and everybody gave their opinions. I took them into account and made a decision.

Please, remember that this is a Civ2 scenario. Yea, we try to recreate history; but in some cases we should priorize playabilty over historical accuracy.
Plus, in this case, itīs a "what if" scenario.

No! Please! donīt misunderstand me.
I appreciate your suggestions.
I just was trying to say that we had talked about these topics in civfanatics. So, in some way I felt that they were solved. Thatīs all

Vietnam did historically fight a short war with China, around 1977 I believe...Still, it's just a trivia bit that came to mind, so don't take it as an attack or somesuch.

Yugoslavia parted with the Russians as far back as 1947, and was led by a milder communist regime from then on.
Albania did the same in 1960, but instead fell into complete isolation and a tyrannical stalinist government.

Yea, i know it.

Iīm just trying to point out that the decisions about this "problematic countries" have been decided. And I wonīt change them. ok?
Nothing personal against you.

One more time:
Remember that this is a Civ2 scenario. Yea, we try to recreate history; but in some cases we should priorize playabilty over historical accuracy.

An example? Look at german possesions in the scenario "Imperialism 1870" Germany has Norway and Sweden. Is that historically accurate? NO
Does it make the scenario less fun? NO

If you want to say something about unit characterstics like attack, movements rates or bugs in the game. Please, do it.
Iīm not an ogre. Iīll listen your comments and take them into account
If you donīt believe me, go to the civfanatics thread

BTW, this is a new .scn file:

This is a MP scenario. I assume that you can play a singleplayer if you disable nuclear weapons.
Or if you just want to fight against a crazy "nuke-the-entire-world" AI, go ahead and have fun

Ideologically, Vientnam was much closer to China than Russia, but really they were their own breed. Client state of the soviets is a bit of an overstatement.

EDIT - And as long as I'm posting. The DR had (has) about as much independence from the US as Bielorussia had from the USSR in the soviet years.

Really? I knew they received support from the Chinese, but I always thought it was the Russians who were their primary backers

By the way, you're right, "client state" is too strong. They did, however, purchase all their armaments save those they could make from Russia

Military tactics were all pretty much Maoist, as was the model of peasant revolution. (Which was considered unviable by Soviets - "revisionist" if you will.)
The consolidation of power by the communists over the independentists in the NLF was precipitated by US intervention. Since the communist faction had good links with Soviets/Chinese, they were in much better standing than the liberal nationalists to lead the independence movement.
Similar to Cuba, in that regard.

If this scenario was being directly emailed to playtesters, that answer would be OK. But since it's being posted here and downloaded freely by large numbers of people, it's really not OK. Since you've posted multiple versions with fixes and updates, perhaps your next update (very soon, I hope) will fix this.

Academia, when are you going to do your readme and give credit to those (including me) from whom you have "borrowed" units and other graphics?
