CrazyG's Big World War One
-
@Hepps I haven't tested it but it was the best idea I could come up with at the moment. Otherwise you instead could just trigger to remove any gas that are located in enemy territories or captured territories I guess.
-
Planned changes-
Major repositioning in Serbia, Italy and Austria
Ottomans begin with fewer trains
UK gets +30 PUs if it controls Suez
Gas is removed, will be added again later
A single Recon Plane will support up to 1,000 artillery or barrages (so basically all of them)
Cruisers get +1/+1
Move End of Turn Phase to beginning of turn. It changes income and heavy artillery functions more easily -
@CrazyG Did you want to continue our game or call it with all the planned changes?
-
@CrazyG Like the plans... but what I would say is that you have an opportunity to make better use of some of the peripheries of the map to add some other dimensions....thus giving the Axis a reason to pursue a naval strategy.
Suez... +10 Australia & India (to Britain)
SZ 93... +5 Caribbean & Colonial West & Central Africa (to Britain)
SZ 77... +10 America (to Britain)
SZ 78 ... +5 America (to France)
SZ 89... +5 America (to France)
SZ 66 ... +3 Canada (to Britain)Very general and unscientific suggestions.... just some idea's to give Germany a reason to try some naval maneuvers... since currently the Atlantic has little role in the overall game.
-
@Hepps I do agree trying to add more value to peripheries and naval. Though I think there are plans to add in more minor nations joining that could help some with that as well.
One other thing I'll mention is I think you need to have a bit more unit strength if you are going to stick with 1 combat round as right now the battles aren't quite decisive enough. Alternatively, you could consider moving to 2 combat rounds.
-
@redrum
2 combat rounds leads to strafing attacks, which I'm trying to stop.I'm going to try and see if I can get artillery to do enough damage through support from other units. Long term, I might add technology that would increase damage output (to help end the war).
-
@CrazyG I honestly like the single round of combat for the first time in my life.
My only desire is to also see the "attacker" in a contested territory be able to build a trench if they survive the first (current) round of combat.
Right now it feels weird that the original territory owner can build a trench in a contested territory... but that an attacker who has been there over a round cannot.
-
@Hepps
I'd like to block placing any units in contested territories. If not possible, I agree with your approach. -
@CrazyG Yes either would seem more balanced... but it feels more WWI-ish if the opposing sides became entrenched in close quarters.
-
@redrum
2 combat rounds leads to strafing attacks, which I'm trying to stop. I really like that by having 2 medium sized armies next to each other can stop a big army from attacking either one. It also creates a ton of interesting situations for players who begin the turn with contested territories, and overall just reducing stacking to a big extent.I'm going to try and see if I can get artillery to do enough damage through support from other units to make 1 round of combat enough. Long term, I might add technology that would increase damage output (to help end the war).
-
@CrazyG Makes sense. I just think you need to ensure there is enough damage to inflict some meaningful casualties when one side does have a significant advantage. Right now if I have say 10 inf attacking 5 inf, it really doesn't do much damage as I kill like 1 more inf than my opponent which doesn't feel very exciting and while with unlimited combat rounds I would kill all 5 and lose say 2-3. I think with 1 combat round limit the strength to HP ratio just needs to be higher or add in targeted attacks or support which is what Civil War tends to do for its 2 combat round limit with things like artillery and generals.
-
Here is just a conceptual idea of what I was mentioning earlier...
-
@Hepps
I'm concerned that Germany won't be able to interact with those sea zones very much with anything other than its starting units. I'm working on a solution to it though. -
@CrazyG Just throwing some food for thought your way.
Not my Christmas pudding... let the chef do the cooking.... I'm just a guy with too much time on his hands.
-
Trying the map atm and have to say that I love the trains movement 6, but it makes me wish there would be artillery shells to move with them.
I see that the planes gives support to the suicide unit. I remember I tested support time ago and it didn't work given to suicide. It would be very cool if, instead, it does (let's see if it is the case).
-
I'm able to move with British through the Kiel canal despite Denmark 06 being German. I assume this is a bug. Also I suggest rewording the notes, telling exactly what is the territory that you need to own.
-
@CrazyG Perhaps this would identify the canal so players have a visual aid to identify it.
-
Really liking what is going on here.
Want to make a shout out to @Frostion for really awesome looking unit graphics.
Couple suggestions though...
The ammunition for the Heavy Artillery seems really out of place. Not sure how many cannon balls were used during WWI.
Perhaps a stack of shells might create a more authentic feeling.
The other one is the entrenchment... it looks like a stack of bags rather than any kind of defensive construction.
Otherwise, the rest are stunning.
-
@Hepps If @CrazyG likes your shells, you should probably make and post a set of them in all the coloured nuances of the players, so that he can easily implement them. I know of a feature in Photoshop that can recolor an image in a color range picked directly from another chosen image. I can't remember the exact feature name or menu location in PS, but you can probably find it.
I am pretty low on free time at the moment. Otherwise I would just do it instead of asking. I am only online on the forum via my phone when to and from work by train
-
@Frostion Yup... was just waiting on the go ahead. I can do the recolouring in a moment once the thumbs up is given.
