@colin cool sounds good our games are always fun and i am looking forward to getting another shot with axis. this weekend was kinda bad for me too went to a russian festival yesterday and drank too much and today i get to clean my house bc the landlord is showing up tomorrow. 😛

@colin got a few

Sorry - yet another question - I see that the attack on Pearl Harbour is not possible. Is that deliberate, since the game is deemed to start in 1940?

@zlefin

It would just be like a trigger that you drag into a box like with everything else that then spawns them all around the map. I dont know how to mod this game but it wouldnt be too hard, just a pain in the ass to do.

I rarely play the map anyway so if its just me then ignore this.
Is there a github or something with older versions of the map to download perhaps? Or if you could be bothered just to upload the newest version without railways then id be really grateful, cheers.

Maybe Im overthinking this anyway ,I observed a game recently and they barely had any trains. Maybe its not really worth building them anyway so that balances it out a bit?

@colin got a somwhat biggie here

@colin once again great game, look forward to our future wars. 🙂

It's the topic of the first video. Gondor is strong, but the naval invasions are a huge pain to defend against.

I wasn't sure if things had been changed after the first video, but based on the first video I don't think naval invasions have been made any easier. While you've added new coastal settlements and made it a bit harder to move troops between them, you haven't made it any harder for Gondor to mount a naval defense.

The crux of the problem is that black ships are a 7/4/2, and dromunds are a 5/5/2. This means that while black ships have an advantage when attacking dromunds, they're at a disadvantage when attacked (while still costing 15% more). This means that Gondor can build a fleet in the sea zone just south of Dol Amroth / Western Belfalas. Any sea zone within 2 spaces of any Gondor territory is within 2 spaces of the Belfalas SZ. This means that Gondor can preemptively attack the Harad fleet no matter where they are before they have a chance to land. This is the same strategy I used in the current version. Gondor need only spend 24 IPCs a turn the first turn and any subsequent turn that Harad builds ships to completely neuter them.

Ideally the sea zones would be designed so that Gondor would have to split their fleet to properly defend against a Harad invasion, thus forcing them to spend more on defense than Harad spends on attack. One way to do this would be to give black ships an extra movement (but still make it require 4+ move to get from the City of Corsairs to the Gondor coast). Though this might make black ships too powerful. Another way would be giving black ships more defense, so they maintain their advantage over dromunds even when attacked.

Gondor still would have the money to outspend Harad on navy, but if Harad is more efficient than Gondor, it at least might make sense for them to try, And then Gondor will have to decide how much it can afford to divert from Mordor to protect its coast.

@hepps @redrum Time for my 2 year check-in hehehe:) I know I know, your planning GD and P&P to perfection, but they're coming still:)

@black_elk said in Proposed Map: Domination 1941:

I forgot France below

That's ok It happens 🙂

@LovePlayingAAA Good catch, it appears we missed a few updates on some of the HeavyDestroyers and will fix that in the next minor version.

ImprovedDestroyers and AdvancedDestroyer techs still exist and have been updated to make different improvements for destroyers now. This post outlines the sub/destroyer changes: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/493/total-world-war-december-1941-beta-2-8-0-5/392 (there were a few adjustments to that original vision).

The notes haven't been updated yet for 3.0 but are in-progress and hopefully be added shortly.

Please use the new TWW 3.0 for discussing the new version: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/1181/total-world-war-december-1941-3-0-0-0-now-available

Little one is a galley, big one is a man of war. Both can fight, I really dislike the instantly killed dedicated transports of some games.

ignore that sorry

@redrum: I wouldn't mind continuing this when you're less busy.

@ubernaut already there

Hey Frostion,

sorry for the late reply. I don't know why, but I don't get to see the tooltips on many items. I was really surprised to see your picture. For me it looks like this:
