A couple questions

[sveint]

Is there any way for one player to control several regimes?

Is there a way to "freeze" certain areas and units until an event triggers?

Thanks

EXECUTE: ExecJoinRegime(6, 0, 1)
 
I take it this allows one player to control 2 regimes - but what are the 3 parameters?

Yet another question, is there any way to have monthly turns?

1st - losing regime number
2nd - gaining regime number
3rd - 1 if you want all units to join new regime, 0 if you only want hexes to revert to new regime control, and the units just disappear.

Probably a few ways to do this. If your're satisfied with simply 30 day months, I'd use the round replacement system and set it up with each turn incrementing by 30 days. I did this just to see what would happen if I set it to 365 days, and it worked ok.

of course, your months will eventually get off, but it's probably not a bad approach.

Or you could use events, set a counter and use the rounds system, use events to send message of current month based on variable. TWeber mentioned this as a way to do turns less than one day long. Probably would work fairly easily.

If you do join regime, you are now only controlling 1 regime (the losing regime joins the gaining regime).  Actually the solution is simple, just play the second regime when it's turn comes up.  If you look at WWI, both side control 3 regimes.  I set them up sequentially so a person can play 3 regimes on a side.
 
To 'freeze' some hexes, have them to join a regime that is asleep, at peace, and diplomatically blocked.  If you look at the Europe game, there is a neutral regime that comprises Switzerland, Sweden, and Portugal that is essential frozen.
