oigroig78

Thanks for your welcome, I downloaded the pre-release and playing with that now, but still not able to activate the "edit mode". The menu command is not activable (I'm a Mac user). Do you know how to fix?

@oigroig78 Strange. Can you post a screenshot like the one I have above? Are you able to see the Edit Mode option but nothing happens when you click it?

First post in this thread has now been changed to reflect the changes made to the game.

Hepps

The new version is now available via the Triple A Download Maps.

Bear in mind you will need to delete the old version if you already have it installed before the new one will appear in the list.

Baggage to the rear please.

General_Zod

I'm sorry sir, you already have a panzer loaded.

redrum

@hepps Actually it should download over the old version. It will appear in the install list if you don't have it already or had a manual copied in version. Otherwise it should appear in the update list.

beelee

LOL at The Zod : )

prastle

@redrum ya it did appear as an update but it failed to parse. I have deleted and am downloading again.

Edit worked second time.

prastle

@general_zod that's included in the 1 armor and 1 infantry without the advanced logistics no?

General_Zod

@prastle That's correct sir, you don't have sufficient tech tokens at this time. You'll need to purchase a new ticket to load 2 panzers.

prastle

@general_zod HEHE

prastle

@hepps and at all. Japan bots updated to .9480 and maps updated. It should run there now

prastle

@prastle also CA bots and SG

Have you ever thought of designing a TWW game themed "spring 1942"? I suppose that can make the Pacific islands area more playable. And also neutrality between USSR and Japan... Curious to know your opinion...

Hepps

@oigroig78 We took December 41 since it allowed for so many dynamic opening moves....

Pearl Harbour
Battle of Java Sea
Battle of Tobruk

Pushing the date back further felt like it deprived the game of so many critical moments.

The Pacific is already very dynamic and playable.

There has always been a great deal of discussion about Japan and Russia's neutrality.... but seeing as the players can make that decision right at the start of the game.... then we always felt it made more sense to leave it open.... if they choose not to attack each other then so be it. But since the "peace" in the Far East was really just the lack of interest of either side to pursue hostilities... this set up has always felt fine from a game play perspective. We discussed it a couple times but never action'd it.

I am not planning on revisiting it since 2.7.7.2 is now a complete work. I am not planning on adding or changing anything further.

I have developed the new 2.8 to test some features and dynamics that are going to be part of Global Dominance. And for that game the Russian-Japanese relationship will be more formally addressed.

@hepps I'd be willing to make a vanilla of tww someday. As long as hepps gives his blessing.

@general_zod that would be way cool. Probably would help grow the player base. I've checked it out a bit but there's so much going on it's overwhelming to me.

of course i'm intellectually challenged so...
