At least we deprive the Germans of someone to beat.

As far as I'm aware, Scotland have been moved to the the second tier of European football for the up-coming World Cup qualifiers.

England should hae dropped to 184th somewhere between Vanuatu and Luxembourg ;)

There's always next time, when we'll have a proper manager. Not a National Express driver.

<sights>

Well, as a kid I was a big fan of Scottish football ... weren't they once one of best teams of Europe, even the World? <sights again, remembering past times>

Oh, and Luxembourg was a few years ago (relatively) strong in Football matters, but now, we are ... ehm, promoting the "Olympic Spirit" (or idea). <orders a drink and remembers again past times, then sees Dayve searching for cigarettes>

'Ere, lad, take one these!

I was only kidding about Luxembourg pal.

Scotland have always been rubbish. Although, now they're pretty good.

No offence taken, as our football team is even for/to/in (?) our own standards awfully bad for the last 2-3 years.

Well, back in the 70's & 80's Scotland WAS good, they reached regulary the quarter- and/or semi-finals. And I was referring to that time, when I said I was a kid.

Not needed, how could you know how old I am (after I turned off the display of my age). I was born in 1970.

P.S. Say, how's your Makedonia campaign doing?

@ blank: Didn't our football heroes once win against either one of the tree Baltic national teams, well, ... uhm, back in the glourious days around 2000 A.D.?

<grumbles something about paying more attention to football matters>

EDIT: not be misunderstood: it's me/I who should watch more often football on tv.

Not well, I am suffering from some chronic CTDs at the minute. I foolishly changed a name in decr_names and now I get a crash every couple of turns. So until I either re-install (a prospect I am not relishing) or figure out how to stop it from CTD-ing, all campaigns are on hold.

That said, I was going pretty good. I had forced KH from mainland Greece and had persuaded Epeiros to become a client state for a while whilst I beefed up my economy.

Hopefully I will have this problem licked soon, and I can get back to my AAR, or even start it.

I may have to go cap in hand to Bovi, he seems the man in the know.

Re: *THE EB TAVERN*

@ horst nordfink:

Do you have tried to delete the "map.rwm"? Deleting it solves many problems most of the time? There are more than one "map.rwm" though. I, for safety, delete all of them. Last time I had a problem with repeating CTDs, it helped.

I completely forgot to do that! :wall: :oops:

I will delete them all when I get home and see if it makes any difference.

Right, I've got home only to realise that I don't actually know where the map.rwm is. Which may make it difficult to delete.

Try the "search" tool of windows. ~;)

EDIT: ... or go to the EB bug & help subforum and look for a sticky named "... map.rwn & ... clean 0.81". Inside, you should find your needed info.

Re: *THE EB TAVERN*

Deleted the map.rwm and started my campaign again. I got 5 or 6 turns into the game and thought it had been sorted, but alas, it crashed.

Time to go ask Bovi.

Re: *THE EB TAVERN*

If all you did was change descr_names, then just extract that file from your installer using 7zip and copy over the old modified ,one with the new, clean one.

Re: *THE EB TAVERN*

The draw for the World Cup qualifiers was today. Some interesting groups.

Group 2 Greece, Israel, Switzerland, Moldova, Latvia, Luxembourg

Group 6 Croatia, ENGLAND, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Andorra

England get Croatia again!

Luxembourg have an easy group. Should romp to victory in that group Treverer :laugh4:

Well, I second you, of course I do.

... but I will enumerate what facts you have forgotten to mention:

- Greece is disqualified because all 11 members (!!) & x remplacants are married/coupled and thous form a big family, especially if from Sparte or Thebeia ...

- 'Cause Israel is is the first world wide target of computer-game-based-war: The attackers are known by the codewords "Gray Death" and "Yellow Death".

- Switzerland declares the State of War/Emergency (or however it is called), as there are some Italian fans from Rome trying to transit the country: Every MAN (the footballers are enroled too, as this is the not the female EU-championship) is called to arms against those invaders.

- Reports from our spies, eh ... from TV-news say that Moldavia is invaded by Romania and/or some Kossaks from the Steppes. Apparently a large group of Overseas Greeks (not from the U.S., nay, from the northern Turkish coast !!) rush to their defences but arrive too late: the football team was among those being enslaved and thous deported.

- Latvia ... ehm ... Latvia ... well, seeing that are they are the only other team in the group, they take up the challenge to defeat Luxembourg. But, oh yes! but they are defeated thanks to the 2 HealthPockets of our Frensh supermedic (but there was an ugly scene at the beginning of the match, as he uses to wear no clothes, until one of developpers, ... ehm, nomenclatura of the FIFA just gave him a little somewhat to cover his <bleep>) and to the Lusotannan Mercenary football players that the Luxembourgian team coach/manager was able to hire.
Though L. has no level 2 mine (BUT I WILL WRITE TO THE UN AND DEMAND ONE FOR US L.), though our budget's still in balance, and though our mnai- ... eh, euro-reserves are high, this incredible intelligent-risk-take was made possible by having tohe brilliant idea to sell/demolish ALL the EU-buildings and banks in Luxembourg-City, giving us a so reallly, really truly amazing sum of mn...EURO to hire these Merc-foots.

Hence Luxembourg will be the winner of that group, or as we say: "Daat waer domat bewissen!" If, oho! if you have facts coming to another conclusion, do not forget to name your sources. Any response without the propper sources/citations or written in a strong language will be taken into consideration.

... oh, and the best screenshoots ... scenes of the match will be published in the documentation "The Mouse that Squeaked - a Luxembourgian Football Match AAR".

Well, after passing a wonderful day with my parents on the birthday party of my uncle, I came back home and wanted to get some further information about a socalled "hot" topic on domestic policy. After finding some interested links, I noticed that I lacked the concentration to go into depth and end my day with a visit on the forum.
Seeing Horst Nordfink's comment about the football groups, i decided to write a humourous version including some of the topics I've been following. Appearently I do not have the talent for this. Hence I will delete my previous post and apologize to all those not sharing my point of view.

I donn't think that he was disagreeing with what you said so much, he was just joking. I found it quite amusing.
