@victoryfirst said in VF (Axis) vs TGC (Allies) | Classic, Game 2 - Balance:

Yes, I am playing so many that I sometimes forget where I need to do my turn.

Yep. I can relate to this. Thank you for rolling for tech and taking the game this far. Yes, some of your moves shocked me but I can see with a bit warmer dice rolls - things could have gone differently.

GOOD GAME!

@redanto triplea_4107_22rus.tsvg

This should be the last update for this xml, since this is not an official mod for this map, I'm leaving the xml in a mess, but it does run. And is more AI friendly (isAI is not used so can be run with 2.5).

A "Russian Revolution" game option has been added, but if any Central Powers are AI controlled, they will not accept the peace treaty.

A game option "Amphibious Assault Get -1 Attack" has been added because the AI will not allow edits if they are already attacking. This is left true by default.

There is still a noncombat move, as the AI does not handle a single move game.

Enemy mines will only attack when entering or stopping in a sea zone. They do not attack when leaving the sea zone. They will attack during noncombat move but can be switch off in game options (Always on AA).

To recreate the game notes, delete the html file and a new one will be recreated with updated information.

As always have fun!

ransforms the AI game play and makes it very cut throat

😁

@beelee I've got this several times with EXP too... it usually happens when I do multiple test turns or mess up my real turn and have to restart couple of times. So I just quit the game entirely and restart.

@black_elk

hee hee we all dialed again 🙂 Crete just got Done 🙂 Dude Ftr and AA and a Arty.

Well it actually doesn't have those but if it did they'd be dialed in 🙂

Prof of concept only, this xml is not game ready.

Units in this xml have been capitalized, "infantry" is "Infantry", also they have been normalized, "matilda" is "LightArmor". The unit:

<unitList> <unit name="Infantry"/> <unit name="FrenchInfantry"/> <unit name="Artillery"/> <unit name="AntiTankGun"/> <unit name="AntiAircraftArtillery"/> <unit name="Halftrack"/> <unit name="Scoutcar"/> <unit name="LightArmor"/> <!-- Represents British/Italian/French Armor --> <unit name="Armor"/> <!-- Represents American/British Sherman/German Armor --> <unit name="HeavyArmor"/> <!-- Represents German Tiger Armor --> <unit name="Truck"/> <unit name="Fighter"/> <unit name="Bomber"/> <unit name="Battleship"/> <unit name="Destroyer"/> <unit name="Submarine"/> <unit name="Harbor"/> <unit name="Supply"/> <unit name="5Supply"/> <unit name="Landmine"/> <unit name="Seamine"/> <unit name="ControlMarker"/> <!-- Not used as of now --> <unit name="Convoy"/> <!-- Not used as of now --> <unit name="AdvanceConvoy"/> <!-- Not used as of now --> </unitList>

There are no required capitals, they are created/removed to put the game board in a location for gameplay. British player starts in the lower right corner, to place units in these three territories. Supplies can be bought in 5-unit stacks, but once placed will convert back to single units.

There is only a single purchase for each player but there are two placement phases so unplaced units will survive, even between turns.

All movement is conducted through mine zones, which should cost zero movement.

RommelScenario.xml

Again, use with caution.

Cheers...

hmm, oh, I missaw some of the sea zone boundaries, that was the problem. Yeah, it does work fine then.

@victoryfirst said in TGC (Allies) vs VF (German) D-day with Balance:

@the_good_captain Thank you so much for your comments. I can fully agree with you about the "feeling a prisoner of what I know". I respect you a lot for your experience and your sheer knowledge on several A&A versions. Usually I think twice before disagreeing with you.

The last thing I ever want to be is anything close to Andrew. I embrace disagreement from everyone but especially from players with decent resumes like yourself.

So please don't think twice before disagreeing with me. I don't want to miss any opportunity to improve. As they say, "light comes from heat."

Andrew is a special case of player that comes off as 'having all the right answers' and needs no improvement - and I just don't have the time for 'one way' conversation. So he is an exception for that reason.

@black_elk It looks to me that those units are about 48 pixels wide. I mean the ones which you uploaded in a single image in this thread.

The image is 4,000 wide simply because of this forum's limits (and because this topic says 4000px). I would go with it being 10,000 on both axis.

This is how it would look with those about 48px units.

As it is traditional in WW1 games, I assume the game would have frequent stalemates, with enemy units sharing the same territory across turns, so I guess it would be normal to have German, French and English units on the same territory for some rounds.

Actually, the original which I made was 6,000 on both axis, but I shrunk it because forum would not allow it.

@elf-491

Hi Elf

I don't remember exactly how I did it. This is what I have

<option name="isConstruction" value="true"/>
<option name="constructionType" value="bunker"/>
<option name="constructionsPerTerrPerTypePerTurn" value="1"/>
<option name="maxConstructionsPerTypePerTerr" value="1"/>
<option name="canDieFromReachingMaxDamage" value="true"/>

and I think you need this property too

<property name="Place in Any Territory" value="true" editable="false">
<boolean/>
</property>

there might be some others needed too

Yes I considered it, but with 30+ Techs and growing its messy, times 8 factions. I tolerate its current way of bolting on units.
