First game finished

[yoppy]

In November-December 1918 I just finished my first game.
I won a "bad peace". I guess russia collapsed in the end. The information box told me that communism spread all over the world and that I got a victory score of 0 (in words: zero).
O man, that's a really unspectacular score. I got france in 1917 out of war and occupied every city and town of russia.
OK, austria-hungria and turkey had the lowest parlaimant mood but germany had 40 points morale and had a hard-liner mood. Austria-Hungria and Turkey had only one strike and none of my armies had mutinies.
Are there any hints so that you can prevent such an end of war?
BTW I had much fun playing this game and looking forward playing the next game.

Keep Lenin out of Russia! A "suicide" sounds about right!! Sure Luca would approve that?? t

This outcome depends on how many nations collapsed due to a Communist revolution, of course. So try the way of separate peace with Russia, when you feel she's near to the end. This will prevent a Communist outcome.

But did I miss a hint that this revolution was near?
Till this moment no nation collapsed because of a revolution. And at the end of the December18-turn I only got a text-box telling me that a worldwide revolution finished the game. At least germany and italy seemed very strong in morale so that they should be revolution-resistent.
I'm sure I heard 3 hurrays for the german kaiser in the background .

I do not recall how the calculation of "communism points" is done. Can you check how many countries are in Revolutionary status, and which ones are communist? Only Russia?

[yoppy]

Calvinus,
what do you mean with "revolutionary status"?
Are countries with a strike or/and a mutiny in a revolutionary status?
If not, then only russia seemed to collapse.
But after this I only got the message and after I clicked on the message box I was forced to leave the game and was sent to the main menu. So I had no chance to look at the situation. But I will look at my last savegame tonite and report.
Perhaps it's a improvement suggestion not to be sent back automaticly to the main menu at the end of the game.

Revolutionary status is displayed in the top-left frame, below the nation flag. You see up to 4 icons.

I started the savegame Nov/Dec 1918 again.
No country was communist or in a revolutionary status.
I didn't reproduce the world revolution result again altough I didn't changed anything. I guess I try to propose a seperate peace with russia. If they accept I will win the game, right? France surrendered in 1917 already.

Yes, you will win if they will accept. If you have a new World Domination outcome, probably there's an error in the Victory calculation. So please post here the zipped savegame.

Thanks,
Calvinus.

Update:
I started the same savegame Nov/Dec 1918 again and made a sincere peace proposal to russia. The chances of success were 100%.
2 times I got the bad peace like before. The headline tells me that I reached "world domination" but it's a "bad peace" with a victory score of 0.
3 time I got a ctd.
I attach the savegame.

Edit: Calvinus, you were to fast for me again. But I learn to anticipate your wishes.

[calvinus]

Indeed there was a glitch in the Victory calculation. Fixed. Next patch, thanks.

Edit: you won with 17 VPs, I attached a screenshot.

Oh, , thats looks impressive. So many stars!
Thank you very much, calvinus. You saved my victory.
