    @cernel I got the map working by commenting out all the train stuff. I didn't bother trying to merge the code in RSOC with Warlords. Maybe, as a quick fix, I will give all train stations, a bonus of 1 for land movement.

    @joseph-prince In case you're unaware of them, here are a couple 39 mods that may give you some ideas: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/32236/oztea-s-1939-global-setup?page=1 https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/30608/global-europe-pacific-1939-for-1940-2nd-editon?page=1 @RogerCooper yea it'd work ok aginst the neutral TTys if the human was russian, but JPN/russia where one is the AI probably wouldn't. AI doesn't do good on the Global map anyway. PTV be the same I'd imagine

    Change Log: 2.71 1/28/22 Fix all "figher_LR" Units to work correctly when "longRangeAir" and "jetPower" Tech activated. Fix "battelship and carrier hull" Units to work correctly. yea took a while to fix your dudes @board-3659 . Be best if you do those yourself. Had to fix Long Range Fighter too ( Barons Unit ). Major burn and had to rename and xml it too lol. But anyway , it was 8 units per player for fix for yours. Took a couple hours. Be best for you to do the maintenance on them At least someone is playing it lol

    @mattbarnes Yes the Bowman is 1. There is only 1 AA combat round. Here is the documentation of AA Guns (from Pact of Steel 2) aa related: isAA values: just sets isAAmovement, isAAforCombatOnly, isAAforBombingThisUnitOnly, isAAforFlyOverOnly, isInfrastructure, and isRocket to true. isAAmovement values: just sets canNotMoveDuringCombatMove to "true", and only for aa guns it will set the stacking limits (movementLimit, attackingLimit, placementLimit) to "1:allied" when playing by classic rules attackAA values: the value that an isAA unit will attack at, for shooting at air units before battle attackAAmaxDieSides values: sets the dice sides for aa guns. defaults to whatever you chose above in diceSides (or 6 if you didn't choose). All units with the same typeAA must have the same dice sides. Be Warned that all aa attack values (including with Radar and without Radar), MUST divide into attackAAmaxDieSides without remainders, or else there WILL be errors in LowLuck! offensiveAttackAA values: same as attackAA but for offensive side offensiveAttackAAmaxDieSides values: same as attackAAmaxDieSides but for offensive side maxAAattacks values: sets how many times this unit may fire its AA guns. Defaults to -1, which means infinite. If not infinite, then aa guns can stack. (If you have multiple aa of the same type-group in a territory, and they have different attack values or dicesides, and different maxAAattacks, then what happens is that the engine will roll for the best attack/diceSides and for the best maxAAattacks, even if that is two different units For example, if you have an aa gun that has infinite attacks and rolls a 4/20, and you have another gun with only one attack and rolls 3/6, then you will end up rolling infinite times at 3/6. This might be fixed in the future.) mayOverStackAA values: sets if this unit may fire aa more times than there are aircraft (default = false). maxRoundsAA values: sets how many rounds the AA may fire in. negative (-1) means infinite. (default = 1). damageableAA values: sets if this unit can damage a two-hitpoint unit, instead of killing it instantly with aa fire (default = false = kill instantly). isAAforCombatOnly values: allows this unit to be an AA gun for normal combat only. it will not defend against strategic bombing raids. isAAforBombingThisUnitOnly values: allows this unit to be an AA gun only when this unit is directly attacked by a strategic bombing raid (currently defends against all strategic bombing attacks in this territory, not just against this unit). it will not defend against a normal attack. isAAforFlyOverOnly values: allows this unit to be an AA gun only when being flown over. if the air unit moves into this territory and stays, then this will not fire. isAAforFlyOverOnly will only work if "AA Territory Restricted" is turned off, and will normally only fire during combat move and not during noncombat move, unless you also turn on "Always on AA". typeAA values: any string which identifies this type-group of aa guns. Only 1 aa gun per group may fire (unless you've set maxAAattacks). (defaults to "AA") Warning: all units with the same typeAA must have the same dice sides, or else you will experience weird results. targetsAA values: a list of unit types which this aa gun can hit. (defaults to all air units) (any aa guns in the same group should have the same targetsAA) willNotFireIfPresent values: a list of unit types for which if they are present in the battle, this aa gun will not fire. isRocket values: allows this unit to become a rocket if the player has the rocket technology. If the unit is named exactly "aaGun" then it will require an image called "rockets". If the unit is named anything else, then it will require an image with "_rockets" appended to its original name canNotMoveDuringCombatMove values: true or false, defaults to false, does not allow this unit to move during 'combat move phase' movementLimit values: only affects normal movement. the count is equal to the number of this unit allowed per territory, and the value is equal to "owned" (we are only counting units owned by each player), or "allied" (allied too), or "total" (which counts enemy units too) attackingLimit values: only affects movement into enemy territory/units. the count is equal to the number of this unit allowed per territory, and the value is equal to "owned" (we are only counting units owned by each player), or "allied" (allied too), or "total" (which counts enemy units too) placementLimit values: only affects placement. the count is equal to the number of this unit allowed per territory, and the value is equal to "owned" (we are only counting units owned by each player), or "allied" (allied too), or "total" (which counts enemy units too) example: <option name="placementLimit" value="allied" count="1"/>

    @cernel Actually Stalingrad can display up to 4 units if its placement spots are selected manually. Units are 48 pixels with %100 zoom. I am aware there are not plenty of placement spots in the Eastern Front. But increasing the dimensions of map would be problematic which would make tracking air units way harder. Actually using 87.5% zoom for automatic placement finder significantly reduces overflows. [image: 1638640465289-1942-resized.png]

    I am torn between charging for political attempts, in this case 5pu, the cost of the cheapest land unit and being free, that is 0pu cost. I have a philosophy of every action should have a cost, but sometimes with upkeep in particular, a faction ends with 4pu or less, so cannot even try Politics. So with a FFA game in mind should Politics have a cost?

  • I want to use A&A's 1 combat per battle per round rule, but I'm not sure if it's compatible with the Russian Revolution rule.

    Does anybody know if these rules will conflict with each other?

    BTW, this is the current situation of the fronts. Hejaz will also be added as a separate civ, which will mobilize in Round 6 and join the war in the following round (hopefully).wwieurope - Copy.jpg

  • Thanks Dog. I understand. and thanks for your reply.

    Regarding the forts, would it be possible for game start forts not to require upkeep but only new build forts require upkeep instead-So like a different kind of starting fort?

    What I like most about this game are the local battles that occur due to the giant map.
    Did the game ever have forested areas in Belarus region with partisans popping up?

    I play iron war and oil and snow maps too.
    The iron resource make the game and fight for it give the game that extra strategic edge, and the oil too. because it powers most units..
    Also the partisans popping up occasionally are a bit of a hindrance when sometimes your units are stuck fighting them whilst they could be moving somewhere else where they are more needed.

    Thanks

  • @captain0
    Thanks for engaging.

    The upkeep works well and it is a shame to have a 2 fort limit but I guess that is because of AI.

    This could be increased but it might feel too much like WW1.
    When new players come accross Bunkers, they struggled to take them, so I never thought to increase them in number. With the current stacking of other units and of 2 bunkers, it feels about right to give the Atlantic wall feel/vibe and Russian attempt at defence in depth and 1 Bunker in the Pacific gives the dug in Jap feel.

    .

    static fort upkeep be halved?

    Upkeep is in whole numbers only, 0 to say 9, so no .5 allowed.
    To get the equivilent of .5 you would have to double all PU purchase costs including upkeep to 2, except Bunkers they would be 1. This might mess with the current balance and it might put off human players that are so used to A&A PU costs. The Bunker upkeep cost of 1 also deters the human player from spamming them.

    .

    I set Russia and Japan as allied for a historic game and change that when war in Europe finishes,

    Yes the current NAP is weak, why would Russia declare war on Japan when it is losing to Germany. A reworking is on my TODO list 🙂

    .

    I believe historically the Finns were averse to advancing further than the Vyborg territory that they gave up in the Winter war..
    The Finnish commander Mannerheim had Soviet roots and Finnish people were not hugely anti Russian in general.

    We wanted to keep the minor powers to a minimum, although realistic they slow the turn speed down, so a compromise, no Finns, just more Germans.

    I hope others chime in with thoughts to your questions.

  • Thanks Dog.

    The terrain inclusions are great.
    The AI put 30 infantry into pripyet marshes and with the terrain bonuses they will be 'hard as hell' to knock out.

    I feel like some territories should be a little more fortified and/ or difficult to take i.e. cities could favour defenders more when they are outnumbered.

    The upkeep works well and it is a shame to have a 2 fort limit but I guess that is because of AI.
    You can edit them on I know,
    I don't know if other people would like it but perhaps the fort allowance per territory could be increased and the static fort upkeep be halved?

    Another thing that would be great is that transport planes could airlift HQ units to evacuate them from say, Africa when the Italian navy is knocked out.

    I set Russia and Japan as allied for a historic game and change that when war in Europe finishes,

    On my first game AI Germany took Lenningrad on first turn.
    I was a bit surprised at the effectiveness of the AI at that point.

    I believe historically the Finns were averse to advancing further than the Vyborg territory that they gave up in the Winter war..
    The Finnish commander Mannerheim had Soviet roots and Finnish people were not hugely anti Russian in general.

    Lastly whilst playing the AI some countries are close to maximum upkeep on round one.
    So a solution is to edit and remove the forts you don't need and convert the value into units.
    All my opinion of course but what do other people think?
