[Citizen X]

We should act quickly on the situation in Austria maybe. There is some severe damage being done by rebels. They are besieging towns with large quantities of troops, that are starting to surrender.

Yikes! Can't imagine why that should be happening. When I left, two months ago, Austria had the largest army in the world, by 20%. Are they really in that bad shape now?

If that's the case, might it be a good idea for someone (perhaps Jim, as moderator?) to submit some turns for Austria even before you hear back from glennbob in order to to get the situation under control?

They still have a large army but two stacks of like 3000 in besieged cities. The besieging forces themselves are rather small, but two other besieged cities (with notably smaller Austrian forces) have surrendered in the last turns. I can see that when loading Italy's file, for wich I currently do turns.

Lukasberger, if you still have access to Dropbox why don't you see if you can open the Austrian turn and see what is going on. Maybe you can submit a turn fixing things until we hear from Glenbob. I also noticed this and sent an email to Glenbob a couple days ago.

I don't have dropbox access. Got taken off when I quit. If you send me an invite I'll get on it.

EDIT: Hopefully someone can send me the invite in time for me to get an ord submitted this turn. If I am going to be taking over again then it seems there's a lot to be done. If not, then I'm sure glennbob will appreciate the help given the circs.

[bjfagan]

Lukas, the Dropbox invite was sent.

I will run the next turn though, so you can take a look at the next one.

Early August 1881

[lukasberger]

Thanks. Got it.

[lukasberger]

Has anyone heard back from glennbob yet?

[bjfagan]

Has anyone heard back from glennbob yet?

Nope, I sent him an email. I guess we can assume he abandoned Austria and you can take it. You might want to add a password.

[Citizen X]

I ahve an issue. It must be since several turns allthough I only recently saw it. There is no gold coming any more from Colombia to my stock. All conditions are met, as they were all the time. I have fleets in the appropriate boxes, positive relations, commercial treaty. Gain is indicated in F4, gold pits are working, yet the stock stays zero. Any ideas?
I do have each turns production as sellable items in the 'H'-screen of the Colombian trade area.

[Jonathan Pollard]

It's possible that the region where the mines are located has gone into a state of civil disorder to the extent that structures there are not producing. I think the USA has had that already happen with some of its gold mines.

Good point. But they do produce.

[Jim-NC]

I wonder if it started on the turn when bjfagan didn't process. Have you tried to sell them to someone else, and have they been sold (you would get a message saying we sold x gold to Japan for example)?

[Boernes]

Do you have enough input resources to operate them? Cash, mechanical parts, coal? Did the commercial agreement get cancelled?

[bjfagan]

We should probably hash out what happens to Korea. Also, Germany fought some rebels in Russia near the German border, but captured the province from Russia. This has happened before, a problem with the game and needs to get scripted back to Russia.

[Citizen X]

It had come to my mind that something may went wrong when that one turn was processed by someone else. On the other hand my gold depot wasn't so big so that it should have been depleted earlier. As far as I can tell all raw materials are present and all homeland sites seem to produce normal. Commercial agreement seems still intact. I have enough carrying capacity in the maritime boxes. Can this happen, when all their harbors are besieged by rebels? I cant look into their regions.

I put some of what is in Colombia on 'sell' now for next turn.

[bjfagan]

Late November 1881... I am going to put Spain and France to AI. Hopefully, someone will step forward to take over France.


itizen X, do you have enough coal? I noticed once coal gets below the minimum needed for expenses, the game starts to shut down certain industries, usually the luxury items are shut down first, such as, silk, opium, gold and gems.

I have a positive or neutral balance on all input material. I think I have enough stock also. But I will check coal by shutting down industries and pushing up stock. In two turns we will know. Gold stopped to run into stocks 5 turns ago, so a connection with Jonathan Pollard processing that one turn is unlikely.
Thanks for the input so far.

[Boernes]

Check the stocks. If its below what your factories need for operation each turn, they wont add to production. The game doesnt notify you, neither do the factories shut down, and it wont show in H-screen or F4 that they didnt produce.

Early December 1881

Sorry, I have to rerun the turn. I forgot to return the settings back to before and the game did not create a Russian turn file.

[Jim-NC]

The situation in Korea needs to be addressed. America is now using a lot of colonial actions there. I believe (non moderator) that the area should go back to China, as they were the original controlling power, and as that was the war aim of the victors. Britain would like a conference on the matter to settle the issue.

[bjfagan]

A conference works for me. Germany supports creating an independent Korea.

[Boernes]

can I have 10 more minutes to deadline please?
