CrazyG's Big World War One
-
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.
-
Those shells look great to me
-
Under the current rules, I would rather leave the shells monocolour, as I think it is better not giving colours if they are not needed (typical example, the factory is usually not coloured, as it belongs to the territory owner). However, as I said, with trains and with a map like this I would rather have shells as a unit you produce, move to the frontlines with trains, and somehow use depending on artillery.
Beside of course production logistic, the main function of trains was to supply the units at the frontline, main item being artillery shells. From pre-industrial warfare, the train revolution was more about keeping millions of men resupplied at a static frontline, than moving the armies themselves.
-
I'm not sure Jesus would approve of giving ammunition as a Christmas gift... but I'm willing to run the risk since I already have reservations in a warmer climate. Merry Christmas!
-
@Hepps Which warmer climate? Mexico with all the nice churches?
-
@prastle Warmer. It's more like a Sun Wing Adventure package with no return flight and all meals are served on a pitch fork.
-
Also, just because you have been such a good little warmonger this year... Triple A Santa has even put the Kiel Canal decoration in your stocking!
-
@Hepps Heh heh Express elevator for me : )
-
So just in case you are not of the christian faith... here is a non-denominational gift of no seasonal significance...
-
@Hepps gill nets on both sides. Tough duty if you're a salmon : )
-
@beelee Ottomans didn't want their salmon mixing with the other heathen fish.
