@lafayette said in 270BC Wars - Official Thread:

@Cernel why is there a '+' folder in the map? Seemingly it's making the download size quite a bit larger than it needs to be.

The "270bc" map has several such useless items too. The main difference is that I group them externally, leaving inside the "map" folder nothing but what is or may be used by the program.

Completely useless items of 270bc (I would keep without the "map" folder):

Other maps have a lot more useless items than this one.

@schulz Hej Schulz, you asked me to use Soundfiles I made/ adapted for the recently released WW2 Oil & Snow project, which is fine, ( except the intro tune , I prefer to keep that unique ) nice to see another 1941 map and I like your ingredients...

I also like a lot this map, but when trying to game it people said it has many problems and bugs. Could be great if can be fixing as a normal map... Thanks forwardly

@wc_sumpton right on thanks again. I'll give it a go

You need to name it Chinese instead China for the easiest way to bring China.

Then copy the XML and give a different name. Then examine the XML. It is not complicated.

Many scenarios have no victory condition defined.

Moved to Maps & Mods.

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"

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?

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

@JOSEPH-PRINCE border-gore is aptly named lol 🙂 I think i got em all. Uninstall and reinstall and you should be good to go. I added a notification at game start with version and date as I didn't do a yaml PR.

I must of spaced it's own thread so we'll just make this it for the future 🙂

Thank you very much

Thanks for the info, if anyone is interested in this scenario I have altered just tell me where to upload it. You will play as northern starting on turn 2.

@Schulz Nice, I have added to shades of "shores" so far but I still don't know exactly what it would be the best approach. Thanks!

@JOSEPH-PRINCE Try this http://www.rogercooper.com/churchills_1939.zip

There is no point to sending the xml, as I have not changed the xml. To make this work, you will need to create art for antitank and tank_destroyer. I don't know of any scenario that used those unit types.

The Benelux flag is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Benelux.

@Major-Arcana The historical situation was fairly interesting. With many US troops withdrawn from Europe, the British government was estimating the Soviets had a 2.5 to 1 superiority in ground forces, but the Allies were superior in the air. Could the British hold the line until the US redeployed? A good scenario for Europe-only game, especially with more realistic air rules.

For a world game, one could add Communist guerillas popping up and the Japanese continuing the Pacific war.

@LaFayette I could also just leave it white and let Russia have a special one. I don't know how to hue shift.

Been playing Europe instead of the whole world. Couple of thoughts.

I am playing all of one side against the AI.

Seems to favor the axis quite a bit. As the allies it went to turn 15 before i was tipped the scales. As axis, i feel like i am in the winning position on turn 5, just a matter of time. I think part of that is the size of the navies.

The rally points from IW could be a good addition to this map. USA had difficulties finding a place to put a new factory.

Germany and USA had fairly similar colors. Germany was also similar to one of the Balkan nations, but that isn't as big of a deal, as they are allied.

After like 2 turns, iron was not much of a factor for me. I don't know how much you wanted that to be a factor, but the fuel is what really limits things for me. AI seems to use more of its iron though.

SS troops seem to need a higher TUV value. They are picked first for casualties.
