Playing the four player campaign as Germany, its 1918 and I took Paris in 1917,pushing into russia, Trying to get the option to form poland but it just wont seem to activate even though I have owned all the requred cities now for four or five turns. I also just landed on the British Isle. By this time the Austrians have sued for a seperate peace, and im still waiting for France to call it quits. I control 80% of France, to include Paris, all but one Major port city and a few towns and minor ports.
Interesting enough I have seen the message that France, Russia and England have unconditionaly surrendered at one time or another, some several times. But I guess not to me.
My technology choices have never changed and neither have there % chance to improve, I can't research/don't see Stosstrupen "spelling?" but Austria researched it in 1915/16.
Im playng the 15 day verstion of the game patched to 1.05f
I uploaded the save files. The auto save is probably the most recent, the game crashed on me during a turn in 1918.
