Total World War: December 1941 3.0.0.6

Ány way for an option without railways? I know you can just ignore them but I feel they clutter up the map too much consider the amount of units and artifacts in general. More is not always better and although I love the railway system in say Civil War,, well here we already have trucks. I Like the idea of being able to bomb things in the middle of nowhere for an advantage though, so im still torn. But an option would been nice.

Are you all in general in favour of railways? Moving troops from one side of the country to the other in one turn feels a bit disruptive to me, Civil war or say Red Sun over China or what ever its called is on an other scale with land being the main tile and so railways aren't that extreme in their application.

If you all like it keep it for sure, ignore me. But if theres more out there that dont like it an optional trigger for creating them would be awesome.

it depends how many people request that feature; if a lot of people wanted it, maybe it'd get coded. Right now the map's primary/original owner isn't around, so making modifications and fixes is a question of wrangling one of hte people with the requisite skill to do it. As such the priority is going to be bug fixes or severe balance problems, and after that stuff that a lot of people want. I'm not sure exactly how hard it would be to code that; that also affects how likely someone is to do it.

It would just be like a trigger that you drag into a box like with everything else that then spawns them all around the map. I dont know how to mod this game but it wouldnt be too hard, just a pain in the ass to do.

I rarely play the map anyway so if its just me then ignore this.
Is there a github or something with older versions of the map to download perhaps? Or if you could be bothered just to upload the newest version without railways then id be really grateful, cheers.

Maybe Im overthinking this anyway ,I observed a game recently and they barely had any trains. Maybe its not really worth building them anyway so that balances it out a bit?

Hi, I have a bunch of random questions.

Is this game perfectly balanced, or is a bid required?
Why has it been chosen to let Germany go before Russia and add the Russian winter, instead of making Russia go before Germany?
Can I as a beginner have a competitive game against the AI? Should the AI be the Axis or the Allies?

1 basically yes
2 not rly sure but germany has limited movement for the first turn this is all explained in the player guide
3 ai does not handle this map very well the only phase it can kind of do properly is the combat move phase

this game is more or less an evolution of global many of the same basic atactic can be used at least as a starting point

@malmessi no reason to be playing 2.8 imo
