@beelee Problem is not with the mod, as it works as it should in 2.5+, as all tech show up in the "Unit Help" window, and the unit "Tool Tip". But in 2.6+/2.7+ the tech info does not show in the display/tip. So, this is a problem with the new release that would need to be reported. Cheers...

@g40newb Hej there, nice that you are playing Oil and Snow... first of al: it is the game mechanics: I decided that it would be not realistic for a foreign power to produce new units in the enemies conquered factories... so they remain disabled by this... the conquere receives the terr's extra PU's and more emphasize is put on transporting units newly constructed units to the frontline... creating logistical challenges once reaching far in conquest as is reality. Keep sending all feedback and issues... as I am halfway and good update of this project, ( as it was years ago made and my first one ) and I can adapt all issues coming out of your player experience, greetings

@victoryfirst said in Total World War: December 1941 3.0.0.6: Hi, I have a bunch of random questions. Is this game perfectly balanced, or is a bid required? Why has it been chosen to let Germany go before Russia and add the Russian winter, instead of making Russia go before Germany? Can I as a beginner have a competitive game against the AI? Should the AI be the Axis or the Allies? Are you trying to learn 2.8 or 3.0 version ?

@rogercooper It was a good mod in its own right. Well please upload it to GitHub, but I will not support/maintain it.

Deleted post.

@johnnycat Oops missed that off. Axis Players & USSR can attack neutrals with Aircraft AI Axis & USSR 1:3 chance to Attack neutrals with Aircraft or 2:3 chance not to attack neutrals with aircraft. I will add it to the post.

Scenario World War II V3 - 1942 Version 2.6.14770 Results Fast AI won in 9 turns as the Axis, the Hard AI won in 8 turns The Fast AI successfully pulled off some risky attacks as the Axis, but still took longer to win the American even taking Italy for one turn. With 4 victories in a row, using different scenarios, I can conclude the Hard AI is better.

@cernel ISOT is an acronym that means Island in the Sea of Time. It's a book about the Island of Nantucket bring brought back to the Bronze Age. Think of it like a Western Isekai but focused on time travel instead of going to another world. Anyway, people use this acronym in Alternatehistory.com to describe stories with the same sort of premise

@rogercooper done. It's now possible to play Nazi Germany and pretend it's not Nazi Germany

@moomanmaster Look at https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/ Some people play Classic over there.

@bret-hawkeye How's it going! No worries dude, we're all still sorta noobin' it here honestly, or at least I am hehe. Currently it's just a baseline. To make it into a functional tripleA map that we could actually edit in the game-engine we're still at the point where it needs the centers.txt and the map.properties etc. It's a bit of challenge since basically what we're trying to do is upscale an existing map/scenario that already has an XML rather than creating an entirely new one. So taking the same Territories and Sea Zone tiles (same labels, nations etc) but where those polygons have new coordinates for a larger board. Everything else remaining the same. This is similar to the method used to make the UHD Global, where we take an existing game (the Standard Global by Bung & Veq) but using a new map for it. Here's an example of something similar, using another larger scale map, but where the process is a bit further along. Just so you can see how it might potentially come together... https://github.com/beelee1/mega_new_elk That's a port of 1941 GCD gamemap, but using the UHD Global unit files/game XML etc. It's is just a skeleton of a game, there are no starting units yet, not actual scenario per se. Bill helped me throw it together, where we just grafted the latter onto the former to get a ball rolling. That one uses the 2.6 pre-release, so you'd just drop it into downloaded maps and should fire up as normal. Here is the same, but with a quickie xml draft created using edit mode. So basically all territories with a production a floor at 1 PU, convoys blanked out, a couple capitals assigned and whatnot, just so it will launch within tripleA and look like something vaguely familiar for a G40 vibe. Again just as a jumping off point. From there you'd go in and adjust the production values of the territories or add starting units for a set up, come up with a turn order sequence or tech and stuff like that. 2024-5-7-Mega-New-Elk.tsvg In that scenario, you can imagine maybe that the start date is right after the Fall of France (instead of before like regular G40). Maybe aircraft are evacuated from the Paris tile to England tile, on the first turn of the game to represent DeGaulle? Perhaps most of Vichy goes Pro Axis neutral, while Free France has their locus of power in Central Africa or a Government in Exile in London. Whatever, just a riff for a starting point and spitball idea. Might look something like this for a 1940 date, very rough draft... [image: 1715543184291-screenshot-2024-05-12-123749.png] In order to do something similar for the older WW1 map, it's a similar process a little bit simpler, since presumably players of that scenario would want to keep the game they play more or less unchanged, just with a beefier map. So starting with an existing game xml, same tech advances or whatever, but warping it to fit into a new larger map. In the case of 1914 NML, like using all those production values or units etc. Or one could use one of the larger maps and create a variant from there, but then that's like making a whole new game right lol. Little more involved hehe. Anyhow not sure if that helps to clarify. It was pretty bare bones for the Domination stuff, last person to tool around there was Redrum I think? I wanted to make a WW2 customizers map that had sorta all the stuff in there, perhaps also with a playable scenario for a jumping off point, so I guess the idea would be roughly like that, just more WW1 themed? Again not sure what all is grabbin' peeps these days or how much interest there'd be for it.

@jkprince havent been doing much lately, here is some pixelart that might find its way in as unit sprites [image: 1713750744471-5c0667b2-1d88-44d1-b29f-b43624525602-image.png] [image: 1713750768427-1849d59b-1729-42a5-935a-9107e955011e-image.png] [image: 1713750783507-21379730-daa3-44e6-a998-f623e5f04342-image.png] [image: 1713750801028-2953405c-1eeb-4d0f-8d01-b8411db2c899-image.png] [image: 1713750894473-49c9d10f-9b2a-4a70-a8b5-d95236223dd6-image.png] [image: 1713750977202-cbc292e8-9bc7-4bdb-9eab-4fb6d92bf457-image.png] [image: 1713751001237-579b14e5-d9f4-4e1d-83e6-085aa142e746-image.png]

Any another suggestion about the territories? What about the sea zones?

@black_elk love it!

@tinmanta Moved to this topic.

6 years later, this mod is still great and I believe deserves to be moved up at least to the "good quality" section from where it sits in experimental. I might make a house rules mod for this as practice- One thing I notice is that Mazdak is almost always the first nation to drop in each game, at least when it is played by AI. IMO, its cultist underpinnings should be represented ingame thru a system that's in mechanically between the Chinese Underground and Grand Armee ones. Rn, the possibility of Mazdak taking Arcadia is a pipe dream if you're not playing as them. If I make an upgrade mod for this, I will add a "Global Mazdakism" territory, impassable like Grands. Unlike Grands, it is not their capital, and does not have any IPC value, so they can still be eliminated. However, also unlike Grands, it has a factory in it. As Mazdak takes more territories, they gain additional locations to which they can deploy units out of their Global Mazdakism pool. Mazdak only: Can deploy to Mazdak and Aksum Control =>3/5 of (Aksum, Sudan, Arcadian Congo, Zimbabwe, Korean Congo): Add deploy to Hedjaz and Sudan, free units in Hedjaz and Mazdak Control =>3/5 of (Khemet, Palestine, Hedjaz, Agrot Republic, Madagascar): Add deploy to Makan and Sumatra and adds some free units in both Control capital Arcadia: Adds free armies and PUs and declares war against everyone (existing rule). Adds deploy to Bengal and Burma. Adds a Motor Pool building into the Global Mazdakism pool, to speed up infantry exit. Control =>3/5 of (Bengal, Burma, Sumatra, Dravidia S.R, Arcadia): Adds a free nuke into the pool territory, for use anywhere, no tech required. Adds a few more free units. First time you capture any nation's capital other than Arcadia's: Also adds a free nuke into the pool territory. Gives a bonus free tech token. ... Apart from Mazdak, some other nation ideas (possibly only for when controlled by AI): India / SUFFER gets a single free volunteer added to "Volunteers 5" at their turn end for as long as they don't control all of their original territories. GRANDS gets a single Infantry added per turn to their Grand Armee pool as long as they are on Total War (i.e losing) China gets an extra Refinery in Yunnan, to help their Fuel budget. It's removed if the territory is lost, and not returned when regained
