  @alkexr Please consider making a version with four teams. The four team version is our favorite in my home -- we play it over and over again. Lots of varying strategies and synergies. From my previous posts, the four teams are: Second Darkness: Dol Guldor, Mordor, Angmar, Orcs Arkenstone Pact: Dwarves, Woodland Realm, Northmen, Freefolk Voice Oath: Saruman, Rohan, Ruhn, Harad Last Alliance: High Elves, Lorien, Arnor, Gondor I glanced at your dev video. I've never considered the current map to limit gameplay in any way. If you can keep it in the update as an alternative map that can still be played, that would be great. There appear to be two major gameplay problems people have commented on previously. Rangers are too powerful and Angmar is too weak. Therefore, I suggest making Rangers cost 7. For Angmar to have an option to hold out against an all out coordinated assault, barrow wights could cost 5, but only have a movement of 1.

  @Schulz said in Red Sun Over China (RSOC) - Official Thread: It looks way better, some unit images are missing btw. The units folder is just the same as the original map, so no images should be missing if they are not missing in the original.

  @mattbarnes Hi Matt, I have tried to contact the original author of this map to no avail. The issues you mention are indeed bizarre and I think they are mistakes. I made a new version of this game (with new units) called Steampunk Advanced... I fixed some of these issues in my version (the 0 production factory), but some still remain. I can tell you that I have a new non-released version that fixes all the connection issues (including those in Canada you mention). I should be releasing this soon. I will also consider updating the other issues you mention (strange alliances). This map has alot of potential.

  Oops, I think I spoke in ignorance here. I didn't realize that there are two editions of "Spring 1942". I apparently own the 1st edition. The 2nd edition does indeed appear to be "World War II v5"

  @Zaroph I don't remember the exact unit names that had mistakes, but there were around a dozen of them. The only problem was that some unit names had their first letter capitalized, which caused an error. Anyway, it isn't a big deal. I'm looking forward to playing the entire Eastern Kingdoms.

  I just played a game as Alliance. I am very impressed how the map has developed. I am glad to see that the Horde is now playable by the AI. I also love to see the AI building factories when needed. Here is what I noticed: The Information given in the map has improved a lot. Especially knowing what the hero levels do is great. Yet there are still quite a few items without tooltips and I can't figure out what they do. For example: Energy-Shard, Arcanite-Hauberk, Sobi-Mask, Amulet of Accuracy, Moonstone Item etc. The same thing is true for map features like: Gold-Mine, Oil-Well, Brown Worgen Chest, Gold-Smelter etc. The exact amount in a tooltip would be great. I noticed something weird when attacking map spawned factories (like Manor or Tower). If I capture them they get the maximum amount of raid damage even though I didn't attack with any shots set to bombard. Is that intended? Capturing factories built by players doesn't do that. That brings me to the next point. 25 PU's to repair a factory seems quite harsh, especially given how easy it is to get enough bombard. Thats a lot more then the average unit I buy (20 for footman). A new factory costs 30 PU's. I can almost build a new one if I don't want to repair and gold is not a problem. I played on AI income of 200% and I could easily outbomb the Troll production by standing in Hammerfall. This was the first time I played Alliance and I think they are a lot stronger then the Horde. I remembered how difficult it was to get harbours as Horde so a part of my strategy was to deny the Horde ship access and get all those water ressources for myself. This worked very well. Undead have a long way until they get their harbour. I was able to conquer it with my cavalery faster than they were. Also having access to a harbour a lot earlier as Dwarfs means I could build transport ships and just conquer their coast. Once you have a transport ship and a warship or a flying machine in reach of their harbour the AI just doesn't build ships at all. That is logical since they can only build one and I could easily destroy everything they build. Tauren is the same idea. Nightelves get ship acces earlier and if you park a transport and a battleship in front of their harbour they won't bother with building ships. It is a little more difficult to do because of the more limited ressources of the night elves but the gains are high. Orcs are similar to Tauren. Goblins basically start with a harbour and can therefore easily capture a second one. If you can get sea superiority before them they have a hard time taking it back because they are limited to one ship per turn. They have quite a few flying units but here I have another observations. The AI doesn't seem to take into account that they can land flying units on water. I have never seen them do that. Trolls have a starting harbour and it is hard to deny them access to the sea. They are one of the weaker races ressource wise though and in my game they built just one ship anyway. The reason why I write about this in length is that the sea has huge amount of ressources, especially food. I have seen the AI build a lot of irregulars which made the game much easier. If you control the sea you also have the advanced tactical option of naval raids. With so many lands to defend it makes the AI split up their armies to be prepared for naval invasions which in turn makes defending and advancing the front line easier. Balance wise I think it is not fair that all the Alliance factions have air units but not all of the Horde factions. Escpecially when the Horde also suffers a disadvantage at sea. Alliance in general seems a lot stronger than Horde. The level 3 trap of Ayanna reads: Lays a trap that kills one enemy unit. That sounds like a suicide attack. But actually isn't, you can kill 20 units with one trap if you get lucky with the dice. It effectively is a normal unit with 0/1/0. Free units every turn is very strong in my opinion even if it is only in defense. Khormanns level 4 reads: Gives one unit +10 defense. The tooltip of the potion itself says this is only for the first battle round which is correct. Maybe make them the same. I only read the level on Khormann and it took me while to figure out what was wrong. The same thing with Arthurs level 3 and 9 and Khormanns level 2. Frost spell of the gnomes is overpowered. Two big armies facing each other, let's say 30 units each. Marryk comes and throws a frost spell at the other army. Most of this army can't move at all anymore (with the exception of 2+ movement units). I can use my 30 units somewhere else while Marryk just throws a frost spell every round and stun locks 30 units with it. I still think cav is too easily countered by spearmen. -3/-3 seems a little harsh. Can Air units target submarines in the first battle round like in nwo? Thats all I have right now. It has been a pleasure to play the map again and I am glad how it has improved. Keep up the great work!

  Upkeep is possible to implement, the important one is finding good upkeep/cost ratio and in my experiences with upkeep, it works best with 5%-10%. For example infantry cost is 2 and 0.1 upkeep (5%) would work perfectly. But armour upkeep should be definitely higher than 5% but still should not be higher than 10%. Yes, draw means nobody wins and nobody lose pretty much same with chess. Because of the cumulative aspects of games, the loser side really cannot turn the tide of the war and the fate of the games always seales in the middle of games and just there should have been draw option that gives a good reason the loser side to continue.

  @alkexr I was trying to make upkeep as visible source in the purchase screen in my map like that but couldn't find a way because its not a resource. I am using <option name="createsResourcesList" value="-x:PUs"/> tag to represent upkeep. Wondering is turning into supply like this system the onyl way to make is visible?

  @TheDog Yes, unzipping worked now. First noticed that some images are missing prevents adding units via edit. I appricate you incorporating upkeep which probably should have been in any map.

  @ff03k64 I don't remember exactly. With the way TripleA runs now, it easy to find which images are missing.
