McMonkey's Casus Belli v2.5 PBEM

[McMonkey]

Think I have sorted out the Diplomacy issue by replacing the Casus Belli Game file with the one from the original CivII. I have gone through the events file and deleted all the 'Negotiation' events and all the 'Make Aggression' events. I have left the 'Text' and 'Create Unit' pars of these events. If you see the type of message saying "Denmark declares war on Prussia" this is a historical guide and can be ignored in the game!

I have fixed all the Leaders flags and added a flame graphic to indicate a city without Citywalls!

What level are we playing at?

Here is a list of the starting Wars and Alliances:
Sweden is at war with Poland-Saxony and Allied to Prussia and Holstein
Russia is allied with Prussia
Denmark is allied with Prussia
Poland is allied with Prussia and at war with Sweden and Holstein

Prussia's alliance should be considered as neutrality rather than a military alliance!

I have also added some House rules in post #1

Does everyone know how to use CivDiplomacy? I think you have to rename the file to .net but after that I am a bit confused. If anyone would like to explain how to work it I would be grateful.

yea, it´s easy.
you rename the file to .net. use dario´s tool: choose your civ and the other party and change the diplomatic status. save it and then rename the file to .hot again.
it works

I think Colonel is usual in PBEMs?

Tell me when I can start again and what I have to do ...

[McMonkey]

@Academia
Thanks mate. I never believe that technology can be so simple, therefore I am constantly being surprised! CivDip looks like an outstanding tool, I look forward to using it!

@Cobra
You can begin. We play as .hot at Colonel level. The house rules are the normal ones + the ones added to post #1. I made a list of current wars and alliances in one of the posts above. To begin with these are to be honored, at least until negotiations have taken place to say otherwise (IE Do not attack your allies!)

@Everyone
Please download and use the PBEM friendly Casus Belli scenario folder attached to post #31.

New Version downloaded.

Russia needs access to the sea. We declare war on sweden.

[Historical Atze]

The Prussian State wishes peace with all Nations and soon an end to the fighting on Prussian soil.

We only claim the City of Puttgarden as naval base and have no further territory in the North

Carl XII teilt mit:

Schweden bedauert die Kriegserklärungen seiner Nachbarn, die verdeutlichen, wie schwer das Verlassen altgewohnter Pfade auch in der Diplomatie ist.

Die diplomatischen Beziehungen und der Handelsverkehr wurden eingestellt. Alle fremden Staatsbürger wurden ausgewiesen, die Genehmigungen zur Teilnahme am Wasa-Lauf widerrrufen.

Die Ostsee wird hiermit für dänische und russische ( ) Schiffe gesperrt. Zuwiderhandlungen werden von der schwedischen Küstenwache day+night verfolgt.


PS
Save folgt später, muß jetzt in Garten

fängt ja für Schweden griffig an, überall Krieg und keine Units in den Grenzstädten
da ist das Save, viel war nicht vorzubereiten, da die meisten Units nicht bewegt werden können
Frieden mit Polen geschlossen

leichte Seegefechte mit Verlusten
Schweden
2 x Frigate

Dänemark
1 x Privateer
1 x Frigate
1 x Two Decker

[Karlheinz]

Keine Einheit bewegt.

[McMonkey]

Poland can no longer tolerate the Swedes arrogant domination () of the Baltic. The Saxon army marches on Kokenhausen while the Poles attack Riga.

1 x Swedish village destroyed.

CTRL-N not pressed. Saved at end of Polish-Saxon turn.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If everyone is in agreement I would like to propose an increase in the Road movement multiplier (Straßenbewegungsmultiplikator) to 3. Please amend the rules file in your scenario folder after the end of the current turn (IE Starting from next Russian turn). I have suggested this to speed up movement over the vast distances covered in the map. If anyone objects then please say so and we will carry on as we are

[Cobra]

I think we should go on with the current road movement multiplier. Russia has the longest ways and I think it s enough.
Btw: There are little roads and there are no settlers in game which could built new ones?

[Cobra]

Former Swedish City Dorpat conquered (empty). 2 Enraged citizens liquifiered.

[McMonkey]

Cool. We go on as we are then.

I had not noticed the lack of engineers. People should only pillage roads if they are very sure they will not need to use them again!

[Civilionaut]

Ingenieure sollten wir noch einbauen, oder?

[Historical Atze]

Don't care about engineers.

[Civilionaut]

Bin jetzt wieder online mit meinen neuen PC, Save kommt nachdem ich das CIV II vom Laptop kopiert habe
