    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

    @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.

    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

  • 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.
