Power of Politics 1914 : A WWI scenario

Hepps

@CrazyG Then definitely no. No mine spamming on my watch.

Schulz

Sea mine codes do exist in triplea engine. I had implemented them their construction rule is similar to trench/bunker one. You will be able to drop sea mines to adjacent sea territories only.

But a bit buggy because fighters and sea mines fight with each other

Hepps

@Schulz You can see how I am handling them when this is released. But I assure you there will be no willy-nilly sea mine placements in this game.

CrazyG

@Schulz
You can make sea mines only target naval units in a couple of ways.

Easiest is just make them isSub

Schulz

I am not sure but giving submarine abilities to sea mines could cause another problems because they gain stealth ability.

Making Danist strait is canal is another way to protect German navy in Baltic Sea.

Happy to announce that we have a new member of the development team for this project!

Progress to making this project a reality just took a grand step forward. Looking forward to having @redrum contributing his vast skills to the endeavor!

ubernaut

id be down to help if i can in some way.

Hepps

@ubernaut Thanks for the offer. I am working on the relief and the details for the map ATM.

@redrum is working on the map maker stuff.

Not sure of what else we need help with ATM... but we will ask you if there is something.

So badass! Can't wait to take it for a spin! Its like the greyhound of plans, hella sharp, hella quick. Nice work!

Hepps

Just updated the first post with a synopsis of what the game will include.

redrum

As was mentioned by @alkexr, currently there is a limitation that doesn't allow land units to perform strategic bombing. I removed this unneeded validation and did a quick test where it seems that land units can successfully strategic bomb now. Here is the PR: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/4804

Hepps

@redrum Sweet. Well done fine sir. One less thing to resolve via a hack.

wirkey

@Hepps don't you have a different map to finish?

Hepps

@wirkey This is the intermediate step designed to make the "other" map come to fruition.

ubernaut

@Hepps ? i once had a dream of a combined ww1 and ww2 map you aren't talking about something like that are you?

Hepps

@ubernaut No... @wirkey is referring to https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/95/global-dominance/493

Interesting. Have to say that a few times I happened to be blocked by this limit, but I'm not sure how expansive this may be, as, considering I could do nothing about it, I never thinkered on it much, but I think it may be pretty huge.

What is the user case here (just curious)?

Hepps

@Cernel Read the thread... it's defined earlier on the first page.

Cernel

@Hepps Off topic, but the search function of this forum is not working for me (clicking on the lens does nothing). Is this something I'm missing to enable?

Cernel

Uhm, maybe land units conducting SBR should also be allowed to keep moving in the subsequent Non Combat Movement phase? I'm not sure (talking about possible applications), but I tend to think this would be better (mostly thinking that you could have some land units, eminently cavalry, being able to raid a territory, instead of normally attacking it).
