@ubernaut It is well known that in all basic games (as well as the NWO series) there are absolutely no "kamikaze" related limits at what you can do during the conduct combat phases. You can freely take carriers out or retreat them with no regard to what will happen to your fighters. This is why I said that, substantially, the item primarily discussed at the topic is unrelated to low luck and easy to clarify: no kamikaze limits during anything happening in conduct combat, while you are in the course of that phase. As said, the only indirect element is that, while you are in the combat movement phase, you may have to think in term of what might happen during conduct combat; and here indeed the rules may be reinterpreted based on low luck.

Nice work!

@Cernel Don't hold your breath, this is so minor. I am hard pressed for time right now and that does not crack the top 50 of what I am wanting to work on ATM.

Going full force Atlantic and Pacific should be equally good. Going only Pacific must result guarantee falling of Japan and Russia but going only Atlantic musn't guarantee falling of Germany. But as I said before; balanced manner should be better than focusing only one front. It doesn't have to be %50-%50. For Making Pacific front more tempting and variety, its better to make Australia and New Zealand American hence USA would be closer to East Indies. Otherwise Western USA is too far away to reach here. Western USA is even too far away for to protect Australia. hawaii can be overvalued too. It wouldn't be even too unrealistic. Some cities could be much more important than their actual values. Strateic locations, historically imprtant towns etc... Verdun in ww1 is a good example. The same can be applied to Hawaii. Had the Japanese captured it, it could be major blow to American public morale.

@redrum right well the attacker never gets to choose the casualties so i was just using that as a comparison. if the defender should always be able to choose the best scramble returns it really wouldn't be any worse than that.

@ubernaut Ah ok. But yeah, your further calcs demonstrate it working very clearly.

So, since I want it both production based and to be achieved any time, rather than at end round only, and much prefer it showing clearly in the customizable settings, I'll use this hack of having multiple endrounds, as it doesn't appear causing any troubles (and the game is not meant to ever have any triggers). But I'm open to refactor it if it would be possible to achieve the same result with victory triggers/conditions, eventually. I guess since we assume multiple endrounds is not intentionally supported, no reasons to document it. Still, I have to say that personally doesn't like the fact that this endround step manages both hardcoded victories and sets uses for triggers, as they seem unrelated matters, and, in my mind, it should have rather been called "victory" step, doing only that (traditionally as the last step in the sequence).

@RoiEX Thank you. I am currently downloading an older OS that should work with triple a.

@Black_Elk I appreciate everyone's responses. I haven't tried giving one side or the other an increase in PUs so I will give that a go. I have used the edit function to change the game a bit (like getting rid of trains for example because the AI doesn't seem to handle those too well). I like many of the games like Iron War and WaW using fuel but the AI does struggle a bit with those. I'll keep at it and again I appreciate everyone taking their time to help me out.

Haha, I guess my terminology is backwards, sorry.

If you use the air combat first... this should resolve itself. Since only surviving air (which would be one or the other) ever see ground combat.

@Cernel I don't see the current patchwork is a problem (it rewards the minor allies for participating). But you could easily create an event that triggers in the current version of the engine, changing ownership to reflect the assigned sphere of influence. Here is the reference from POS2 changeOwnership values: This will change the ownership of the territory, either directly or by conquering the territory (there is a difference). Format is "territoryName:oldOwner:newOwner:booleanCaptured?". territoryName can be "all", and oldOwner can be "any". Can have multiple instances. examples: <option name="changeOwnership" value="South France:Germans:VichyFrench:false"/> or <option name="changeOwnership" value="all:Mongolians:Russians:true"/> or <option name="changeOwnership" value="Danzig:any:Germans:false"/>

@redrum yeah that would be awesome

non - Triple A I played a cruel rpg game called Eternal Lands and I started and I wanted my character to not kill animals so it only killed monsters at low levels (never saw anyone else do that) and I stayed awake 70 hours to finally level and kill my first goblin.... but for Triple A yous got me cuz I don't think I ever had a match longer than 15 hours but cool this game rocks for cool matches

@zlefin Yeah, I've seen this happen as well. Work around is just move all the other trucks/trains out of the territory, make the land transport you want, and then undo moving all the other ones out. @ubernaut Its similar to that. Though I believe that issue is fixed in the pre-release (if you want to test to confirm that would be very helpful).

@beelee odds combinations are kinda counter-intuitive.

@Sculpt The (silly) connection between West Canada and East Canada Sea Zone has been removed since "World War II Classic 3rd Edition". However that game got, thereafter, updated into "Classic: Iron Blitz 3rd Edition" (sort of a 3.1 edition) (still not having that connection). The only default difference here, as far as I know, is that you can also purchase destroyers and marines (those destroyers don't have any special abilities, by the way). However, this change has not been adressed at a skin level, meaning that the map of those games is just the same as classic (so, visually, it rather looks like a missing connection bug, but it is actually the skin being wrong and outdated). Hope this helps. You can just download all maps from the repository, then search for the games' names I mentioned, in your selection list.
