PITGOC Peace in the golden crescent

[Jancsika]

PITGOC = Peace in the Golden Crescent.
After peace has been achieved in the Golden Crescent of the Middle East you will have the assignment to restore the area and bring prosperity.
You will have the task to stop the opium trade, the nuclear proliferation, establish new industries suitable to the area. And of course build up international trade, show them that Capitalism works.[

I have placed the project in my FTP directory:
Place this file in your UserMaps folder.

Click on it. You will get the following file

Just follow directions and stay in the UserMaps folder.
No other files will be needed!!!!

Wohoo, can't wait!

[Jancsika]

I have uploaded the first draft of the map.
(see first post)
It is stable and playable. I still have to fine tune it and fill in some of the details.
Comments are more than welcome.

I can't seem to unpack the files with 7z. Any tips?

[Jancsika]

I don't know. I had the same upload at Bobby's and he had no trouble with them.
Are you using the 7Z software or some other ZIP program??

I also wasn't able to open "PITGOC_V_0_02.7z" once extracted.

[Jancsika]

I have just dowloaded the files and it worked on my machine.
Karsten was not able to unpack it.
WarII could unpack it but could not open it.
Bobby was able to unpack it, open it, and tell me what corrections should I make.

I will work up an FTP version and post it later the day.
I will let you know.

Exactly, this file can't be opened.

To be honest I never liked the 7Z program. I always had problems with it. It helps Forums with limited resources.
Sometimes I had my maps in 3 different format.
One for Hawk, one for Bobby and one for Hooked.
The problem was that after couple of month I did not remember what revisions were made and where.
Anyhow I have the map in my FTP site and the link is in the first post.

There are maps on Bobby's Forum (7Z) that I am unable to unzip properly.

OK, there seems to be a problem with the Karachi Port. I've sent tons of opium there from Kabul and yet, 0 opium deliveries credited.

[Jancsika]

Thanks for catching it.
There is a Typing error in line 231 in the scenario file.
It it sould read <szCityTo>ANY_CITY</szCityTo>
Instead of <szCityTo>ANY_C ITY</szCityTo>

<szType>ShipGoods</szType>

It had to be “ANY_CITY” because the port is not in a city.

New revised version was posted.( Version_0_03)
Some small changes, corrected errors, mostly polishing the files,
It is not fully tested. It will take me couple days to play it through.
Your comments are welcome!

I downloaded the new revised version (0_03):

• This scenarios has appealing, interesting real-world scenery. Fun to build the train routes, and I managed to minimize the spaghetti!
• Four victory conditions need to be fixed, see screenshot.
• The worker management is crucial to efficient gameplay. I have included an example routing that I find effective for maximum food production.
• I am looking forward to giving this scene another spin once all victory conditions are fixed!

I am still having problem with the Scenario, (opium).
There is an error somewhere and still trying to find it. The trip from Kabul to the port is not registering in the scenario goals.
I will make some other minor revisions with the gold shipments.
The first two Eras are general goals.
Era 3 is Afghanistan, era 4 is Iran, and era 5 is the other “Stans” Kazakhstan etc.
Once the food goals are achieved, you can delete them, you will need some passenger traffic to supply workers, and keep up gold production to make the billion mark.
