WW2 Oil and Snow (1st ed.) NEW MAP RELEASE

@wc_sumpton
I'll add the V1 to the light air list. Need to doublecheck the fuel use..edit. It doesn't look like it has a fueluse set (when defining the unit). Maybe why I didn't bother re-adding it. If it's only representing a single v1 then that's possibly why.
-
Didn't see the V1, but it was a good example showing how lists and non-listed items can be merged together.
Cheers...

@hostilian So about the issue with Train movement in the Ussr....
it was due to an incorrect -reset- after winter in a TerritoryAttachment"actually this sytem was a big compromise: what I really wanted is a railroad unit that can be attacked by strategic bombing so it could be taken out and repaired like Industry... would be realistic, but I did not manage to connect this feature with changing TerritoryAttachment for the Winter-effect and or No railroad (or construction option ) ....
now the presence of a no_railroad-unit triggers a Ter's TerritoryAttachment"... allowing or disallowing trains.
<attachment name="CA_RailroadSichuan" attachTo="Chinese" javaClass="RulesAttachment" type="player"><option name="Players" value="$AllPlayers$"/><option name="directPresenceTerritories" value="Sichuan" count="1"/><option name="unitPresence" value="railroad" count="1"/></attachment> <attachment name="TA_SichuanRailroad" attachTo="Chinese" javaClass="TriggerAttachment" type="player"><option name="conditions" value="CA_RailroadSichuan"/><option name="territories" value="Sichuan"/><option name="territoryAttachmentName" value="TerritoryAttachment" count="territoryAttachment"/><option name="territoryProperty" value="territoryEffect" count="-reset-Hills"/><option name="uses" value="1"/><option name="when" value="after:frenchPlace"/></attachment>hereby also including the terr's other terr. effect, in this example Hills.
maybe anyone knows a way to combine these features?
-
@ebbe Would you want to block it completely? No airforce in the world is going to completely knock out an entire territory's railyways (especially in Europe). At best, they'll knock out key locations, which could be fairly quickly repaired.
How about instead increasing (doubling) the movement points required for trains moving through 'bombed' territories? For a full turn. To represent the delays in getting them rerouted to less affected lines, repairs - or away from roving fighter/bombers.
-
@hostilian yes, that is a good one... now the challenge will be to get the rail-unit a possible Strategic bombing target (with repair option) and connect that with the mentioned above system of Territory Effect -invert- that allows train movement or disallows it :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
-
@ebbe Not sure about that.. Countries start with 1 or 2 'train units'; when they probably had hundreds.
Strategic bombers wouldn't have targetted trains (though they might have been present if a rail yard was bombed) - that was more for tactical or fighter bombers (as targets of opportunity).
-
@ebbe You might have already found it, but there's a problem with the logic for the Russian production phases. I've basically created the same sort of trigger and condition set for turn1 and turn 2-3 that there are for turns 4 and above. Seems to have fixed the issue where the T34's don't show up in the purchase list.
ie.
<attachment name="conditionAttachmentT1RusProd" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"><option name="turns" value="1"/></attachment> <attachment name="conditionAttachmentT2RusProd" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"><option name="turns" value="2-3"/></attachment>Along with the corresponding triggers.

Railroads and trains... Oh my!
railroad has isInfrastructure as true, which means they cannot be taken during regular combat. Also, canBeDamaged is false which means they cannot be hit by SBR damage (bombers). They cannot be hit by bomber by what I read in the xml.
trains etc... could have requiresUnitsToMove set to railroad. It might help.
The xml I have might be dated, so disregard. Just trying to help.
Cheers...

anyone a clue what this fatal start up error refers to, or in what file I can find it..?
InvalidPathException: Illegal char at index 19: territoryNames/X__.png
as I cannot find this X__.png in any file .. hmmmm time consuming
and the error came haunting me even if I reinstall previous good working game versions.. which is bit frustrating...
woehaha
...:angry_face_with_horns: -
I've gotten funny sounding errors when switching between TripleA versions. Mostly I just reload the map.
Cheers...
-
@ebbe Solved, let's move on
-
I will rename Russians to Soviets by the way...
that is I suppose more fair/rightful to all the non Russian USSR-inhabitants/nationalities involved in WW2 on the east front.... -
This might be a noob question, but how do you repair major factories? Britain took control of western Germany for 1 round and I quickly retook it, the only problem is the factory seems to be disabled, and I don't see any way to repair it. Is this a game mechanic or am I just missing something?
-
-
@beelee Unfortunately I didn't get the prompt but ended up fixing the issue by going into edit mode deleting the disabled factory and adding a new one in. It seems to have fixed my problem, thanks for responding though!
-
right arm You should be able to click on the Fctry in edit and then click change bombing damage as well.

Hej there, nice that you are playing Oil and Snow...
first of al: it is the game mechanics: I decided that it would be not realistic for a foreign power to produce new units in the enemies conquered factories... so they remain disabled by this...
the conquere receives the terr's extra PU's and more emphasize is put on transporting units newly constructed units to the frontline...
creating logistical challenges once reaching far in conquest as is reality.Keep sending all feedback and issues... as I am halfway and good update of this project, ( as it was years ago made and my first one )
and I can adapt all issues coming out of your player experience, greetings
