  • @thedog I've started a few games and have a few preliminary observations.

    Population
    I'm not sure what Population as a resource really adds to the game, it's just some extra annoying thing to track. In the original version population units were actually an interesting resource to manage because you have to move them to where you're planning to build infrastructures, and there were tradeoffs between moving them to the capital for cash, or building stuff. It was quite a different thing from just a numerical resource.

    As it stands now, I'm not sure they add anything in terms of interesting decisions or tradeoffs to make. Maybe that will come with more play and I'll have an a-ha moment where I can do clever things with population, but at the moment I'm not seeing it. In my own attempt at an AI friendly hack I just got rid of pop as a simplification.

    Politics
    Disabling politics laves everyone as Uncommitted, with no apparent way to go to war. Frankly in a game optimised for play against the AI I'd have thought total war from the start would make the most sense. In fact, I don't see the attraction of political alliance categories anyway, it's just a faf. Human players are perfectly capable of making deals, and then backstabbing each other without having to fill out bureaucratic forms to do it, but at least I'd like the option of just going for total war from the start.

    I'm sorry that you are having troubles. I personally do not use Notepad, it's okay for small quick edits, I use Notepad++.
    I'll include a zip file with the changes.
    World_At_War.zip
    Special Note "Transport Casualties Restricted" value must stay false in the xml as Transports and B.Transports have a defensive value. The value can be changed in the 'Map Options' (lowest button on the left panel).

    Cheers...

    Game WAW40 still shows on initial screen but now will not run at all. I'm going to de-intall everything. Seems it is now broken.
