@colin VGG 🙂

There some minor problems with the TripleA code/engine that the Devs are working on, the latest stable Pre-release I am using is here;

https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15032

For those above this version I suggest you downgrade.

@ishan triplea_2496_rom.tsvg

@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?

@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 ?

Reminder if you attack with the Marines they need to be paired with a Arty otherwise you need to switch to "MarineA1"

The bloodbath continues 🙂

Edit
Another reminder. In Naval battles you have to take a hit on a CV before you can on a BB. Then you alternate if needed.

@thedog Hi there, thanks for the reply 🙂

I took a look at your version but it has upkeep as a mechanic and I think that is not "fun" to have in a game. Did not like it, when WarCraft3 did it and try to avoid it whenever possible.

Little feedback otherwise:

The symbols (crown, skull, ...) should only be visible when I buy a unit. They look a bit ugly on the map. Imho. But the idea is good/helpful to learn the rules.

I could not get the map to work at first. I had to unzip it first. This has not been the case for any other TripleA map (when I first downloaded TripleA eons ago I did unzip my maps but nowadays I don't)

You might want to edit the "wrong" terrain for the caves north of Goblin Town. This was/is broken in Arda as well.

Other than that: I like what you did with the unit balance and I liked the simplification for the rule (I still like the Arda complexity but yours is a good version as well). All in all, the stuff I saw while testing it looked good. Not for me because of the upkeep but good variant!

@colin got a somwhat biggie here

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

@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.

@rogercooper

Those are cool!

Yeah that cartoon! total Inception lol

Oh it's this dude's work...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Edes_Harrison

The challenge he faced was that most Americans, like many people at the time I guess and still today, they were so familiar and ingrained with the Mercator from schooldays and the era of the sail/naval navigation going back several centuries, that they really struggled to understand how the advent of aviation had changed the game. Or like why these faraway points were so key to the war effort. So they basically hired on a technical artist (rather than a cartagropher) to reimagine how these distances and war situations could be depicted in popular media. The maps were in mags and periodicals, so I think they're sorta Duckburg style, like fighting the war of ideas, with that sort of jingoism baked in, but it definitely anticipates stuff like GPS Satellite maps or the UI's from video games. Like I can just see it morph from that into Hearts of Iron after a couple more decades floating around.

I just think it's cool, since it sorta takes root during that period and comes to define the new look, along with commercial advertisements and pulp illustration (pin ups and such) the fonts and whatever, which is why I think it looks cool for window dressing type thing, but I'm not sure it works so well as a main map campaign view.

It would work maybe for a mini map though, or an endgame stats view thing, or just alternative style view from a hotkey. But then I have no idea how something like that could be translated into tripleA without like a total UI overhaul that can somehow use two baselines at once hehe. Hence the pipe dream.

It's to me interesting cause for Classic, the world projection there was clearly Mercator style, but then every A&A board since Revised and then later War Room, they riff more like some of those Harrison maps from the 1940s to me. Like the way some of the continents are compressed and such, or the crops that were chosen. Almost like it was a crop and swap, where the maps were tilted up from there to hammer home the idea. But then the north pole view sorta doesn't really do the telescoping on Europe and the Pacific the way the dual Theater Atlases usual show the war in the books, like with a double inset with room for many sculpts. To me the G40 is more like those, but then when I think back to Iron Blitz, it totally reminds me of those Harrison map vibes. Almost as if the one is a call back of the other. Even down to the names there, it's like a whole harris thing haha

🙂

ignore that sorry

@nothingtoseehere actually ended up getting to check it agn today i think im close but i still need to double check some stuff
