  For anyone just coming to it, also just wanted to note again the things I really like about this map... Its visually clean and easy to read at a glance. The map details and notes are straight forward to parse, and the map divisions and overall play-scale fits a nice niche at the level above global. There's enough familiar stuff going on that you can step into pretty quickly, and its accessible coming at it from a basic A&A background. There are for example fewer complex rules to track than in global (total war start, no politics national objectives or nation specific rules), but a more complex map with a greater number of player nations, and more expansive unit roster. The production rules are also much simpler, with only one kind of factory and very clear factory build locations designated with the gold stars. The naval game is solid with convoy zones putting money in the water, but done in a way that is very intuitive to understand (control of the sz either awards cash or denies it the opponent). It's familiar going back to A&A Europe, tied directly to the sz tiles, and much easier to step into than the complex rules for coastal convoy raiding or interdiction that you see in say the 1940 A&A games. Technology advances based on the timeline with unit unlocks, so again pretty simple to understand. I think the lighter footprint in rules overhead makes it easier to focus on areas where there is more complexity like with the unit roster, resources and combat. The game-phase set up is streamlined for combat before purchase, which makes the playpace much faster in my view, and the production spread and cost structure for units allows for a nice mixed force build for most player nations, with cool variety in the base abilities. Not so many types that it becomes overwhelming but definitely enough to keep it engaging. D10 and base 10 infantry is a fun change from D6 base 3 infantry, and the naval roster balances well on the water at base 20 for the transport. The naval game kind of feels like a cool throwback to older A&A games in some respects, with transports still as a combat unit, fighters moved onto the carrier at placement, capture convoy zones etc, but with a better overall cost structure. Ships are relatively cheap compared to land/air units, and there is a good pairing of unit abilities on the water, again all pretty intuitive and quick to settle into. The build up and eventual smack down on land sea and in the air is all very enjoyable and I dig the soundwork and music. Game works well for a solo too, which is good to have in the back pocket. Anyhow, I think its high quality for sure and has kept me entertained for a while now. Solid work

  Hey, this is a beautiful and fun map. Just coming back to it after a break and all the latest developments. We are only one round in so far. A few queries/comments: is it intended that Gondor can make new oathbreakers? is it better to default to “repair at start of turn” so injured units stay vulnerable for a little bit? will it be tempting to Gondor to focus on naval initially to overwhelm Harad ships rather than allow a slow naval race? are anti air a bit too effective against winged nazgul? Should the nazgul be allowed to ‘dismount’ somehow to avoid being slaughter quickly in the air? are siege units a bit too effective against walls? is it a bit too easy to clumsily lose a siege unit in a minor skirmish against a unit with Flank? (Eg Saruman takes Fire of Orthanc with the army to raid West March and the Fire gets killed in an otherwise one-sided battle) That’s all for now!

  @mattbarnes said “The very high HP dragons are just totally dominant if not facing a similar enemy. Should the dragons be made a little more equal to each other?” “The I dragon isn’t much better than the Elven eagle or Dwarf airship.” As the Dragons clearly still was a bit to strong in v0.2.5 and the players getting dragons still had to much of an advantage, the dragons have now been nerfed a little again. Before dragons had between 1 and 6 HP. Now it is 2,3 or 4 HP. So the lower bar has been raised 1 HP and the top bar lowered 2 HP. Also now some dragons have less teeth and are 3 att/def, not 4 att/def. I still see and think that there is a toughness progression from the level 1 dragon (Green) to the level 6 (Red). Here is a comparison of the changes: “The Water Dragon is quite limited and poor value. Not only is it a drawback to be sea-only, it also can’t do a non-combat move after a battle in the way it’s airborne brethren can.” It does not have a move-away-after-battle move as it is essentially an A&A sea unit and follows the same rules. The Dragons are A&A Air units and have that return move. It is maybe technically possible to add an extra move, but I don’t see a great need and am fine with the standard rules. I am not sure everyone agrees with the sea dragon not being strong. I think it is perhaps stronger than its level rank 3, maybe it is more or less as important as the 4 or 5 level dragon. I think it is very important for players to have water supremacy, more than I first originally first recognized. I think @redrum is a strong advocate of ruling the sea in Dragon War New version of Dragon War is downloadable - v1.2.5 to v1.2.6 • Young dragons and captured dragons are now valued a bit lower by the AI harassing players than before. • Dragons have lowered stats. Less attack and defense power and less HP. • Other minor edits to the map.

  I should have specified, I play 1 out of the 4 allies, and I sett two of my allies to easy, all other where HARD. To make my allies loose but me come in and save the day Yes, AI seems preaty good, especially on land. Ahhh. I see. So fighters can fight in interception in addition to normal Interesting setup.

  @redrum Wow that is seriously Ethnic oriented. There is that single "Slavs" players that groups together Pomerania, Bohemia, Polonia, almost all Russia, Serbia and Bulgaria. Tho, in this case, they got the name "Britons" wrong, as those are, rather, the "Anglo-Saxons" migrants, since also "Brittany" ("Little Britain") I see it is not part of the "Britons"...

  Have you ever beaten the Union militarily? So who made the map? Also wondering if there is any negative consequence for having negative manpower?

  @LovePlayingAAA Good catch, it appears we missed a few updates on some of the HeavyDestroyers and will fix that in the next minor version. ImprovedDestroyers and AdvancedDestroyer techs still exist and have been updated to make different improvements for destroyers now. This post outlines the sub/destroyer changes: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/493/total-world-war-december-1941-beta-2-8-0-5/392 (there were a few adjustments to that original vision). The notes haven't been updated yet for 3.0 but are in-progress and hopefully be added shortly. Please use the new TWW 3.0 for discussing the new version: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/1181/total-world-war-december-1941-3-0-0-0-now-available

  @LovePlayingAAA Still in development. Bear in mind this represents the most ambitious project in TripleA... not just in scope and scale... but also in the sheer number of elements included. I don't really do this as a career... so you will simply have to be patient with me on its development. Some nights I feel like working another 4 hours on it... some nights I just want a beer... a Leaf game... and some attention from my wife.

  UBr Update: WARNING using this update will require scenarios to be reloaded. Added sorting options. Added a list of game properties used in the scenario. Better handling of complex support attachments. Fixed off-line issues. Production frontiers are now dealt with as groups in the unit list, rather than having them as separate items in the empire list. This allows one to view and filter the frontiers so one can compare. Initial placement units are placed in a group as well as sometimes they are not in a production frontier. Newest version : UBr Link 1.002.003

  @Boston said in World At War - Official Thread: People seem to prefer playing axis, but I've seen allies do better in most cases. I'm reserving judgment on map balance with perfect play on both sides Japan's opening moves are really difficult. My experience with this map is that it favors the allies really heavily for newer players, largely because the allies can really mess up Japan (or Italy) during the first few turns. If Japan executes their opening well, its a different story. I find that a Japan that goes really hard at Russia with mobile units does really well. I'd be curious to see if an expert allied player could overcome this. I have a feeling that what a person does with the USA separates good players from great players.

  @mattbarnes Correct on both of those. I just added the missing connection for East Assam to Manipur in the latest map version. The fighter placement on carrier issue was actually an engine bug as since the map uses advanced placement rules with "requiresUnits" attribute, that attribute didn't work properly with placing new fighters on carriers. This will be fixed in the latest pre-release: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/4433
