@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

For some reasons Save Games struggle to load on Bots - making the map pratically not playable. Also experienced on T1 a 2 hit carrier - I've read above though something similar happened to other players too.

@forthebirds said in Iron War - Official Thread: @forthebirds said in Iron War - Official Thread: @Black_Elk If , in the future, you try out my saved game I recommend that you make these minor adjustments.: Add factory to French India Add 2 infantry to Norrland Add 3 infantry to Central Russia Add 1 patrol boat to Gulf of Bothia Subtract 1 patrol boat from White Sea zone Again sometimes I find that small changes can have a rather big effect. Thanks again for trying it out. You have made moves that I or the AI had not thought of doing. Catch you later. By the way overnight, we received 5.25 " of rain .How are things your way? Forgot to add this: Remove German Transport from Greenland sz and German transport from North sz. Yikes! In trying the game with the changes made I just realized that the political relationship between Japan & USSR should be WAR instead of OPEN BORDERS. This makes a huge difference. I've attached the "saved game" with changes made. IRON WAR(The MASTER!).tsvg

@colin got a somwhat biggie here

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

@ghostronin Thanks. Appreciate the thoughts.

@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

Four alliance update: We've played all four alliances to winning result now. The games are very interesting and the whole map has undulating battlefronts. So far, Voice Oath seems strongest due to protected rear territories, and Second Darkness seems weakest due to fewer defensive options. Here are a couple of suggestions to consider -- these go along with others that have been made to balance the overall game and strengthen Evil: For Angmar and Dul Guldor, there are few cheap defensive units available to enhance stacking to control key territories and pinch points. This limits strategic options, including attrition battles, strategic retreats, and capital hold-out strategies. I suggest making the barrow wights cheaper and giving them a movement of 0 or 1. This would create a very unique unit, a very special feel when playing Angmar, and aligns with Middle Earth lore regarding Angmar being a haunted, ruinous realm. I also think it would be interesting to give Dul Guldor "Lesser Spider" instead of the Shelob-like (Mordor-like) Spider unit that it currently has. The lesser spiders could be cheap, defensive units that prefer wilderness or forest to keep with the lore of Middle Earth, specifically The Hobbit.

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.

@Gully: Forgot Sweden again. This time they even did something.

@Name Just checking in to ensure you're ok.

@Handsome sorry i wasnt sure what was going on with you and so i just started another game and possibly have another 2v2 game on deck. i'll ping you back again once things lighten up.

Also, the Tauren hero's 6th level ability 'Owl Form' lists in the hero panel the owl is 6/6/5, but the owl only has 4 movement. In the purchase panel it is displayed correctly. Another question is about casualty removal. You have a long list of targeted attacks (guns, missiles, magic, etc.) with each step listing to remove casualties, but it seems the casualties get to perform their targeted attacks even after they are supposedly removed. All targeted attack casualties are removed before standard fire, so they don't get an attack if taken out by targeted attack. It works fine, but the sequence of battle sounds like they should be removed when they are not actually being removed until just before 'Land Paratroopers'. One final suggestion I would make is increasing movement for all units by +1. The map is large enough that it takes very long to travel. Just my thoughts. Thanks for a great game!

@prastle What it lacked in motivation it more than made up for in personal job satisfaction.
