Power of Politics 1914 : A WWI scenario

[Hepps]

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).

[Hepps]

Just a little something to let everyone know we are proceeding with zeal.

[beelee]

@Hepps
good action although
New Zealand seems more appropriate. : )

[Hepps]

@beelee Is this enough (New) zeal for you?

[Cernel]

@Hepps I briefly checked Wiki on this, and, according to it, Camberra was not really a thing in WWI. The site was selected in 1908, but it actually started working as capital only in 1927 (1927 the parliament and 1930 the governor).

I get that is not really meant to be Camberra, as the fact that it has a "city" territory effect has to mean that it is representing Sydney and Melbourne; but, if Australia has to have a city territory, probably better just to call it Melbourne, since it seems it is also all of Victoria (it can be left undefined if that would be actually just Melbourne or both Melbourne and Sydney together).

I don't like "Power of Politics" as the game's name, but I'm abstaining on the vote, cause I don't know what.
