Total World War: Strategy Guide

redrum

@zlefin I considered it but most straightforward USA strategies only really use the Labrador L&L. Even most advanced strategies don't use the Queensland L&L zone much. Its just too far away to be worth it in most cases. So decided to ignore it for this guide to keep things simple.

BTW, are you an experienced TWW player?

zlefin

used to be pretty good awhile ago; haven't played it since I came back to triplea a couple months ago, so I don't know how the meta has changed since, and I haven't played with the 2.8 branch.

redrum

@zlefin Ah, I don't think the meta has changed that much but 2.8 has a lot of cool features. Definitely recommend giving it a spin and if you're into PBEM/PBF then we could start up a game sometime.

Thanks for continuing the guide, it’s a perfect tool for beginners, and a useful way to improve skills!!!

Russia is up.

Hepps

@redrum Well written. Really covers the challenges facing Russia well.

CrazyG

I really like how you mentioned buying artillery or tanks. I see newer players only building infantry (NWO style) which gives Germany way too much freedom.

Hepps

@redrum At some point... once you are done all the nations it might be helpful to reorganize them by either; turn order, or faction. Or both.

EG.

Germany
Japan
Italy

Russia
China
Britain
United States

OR

Germany
Russia
Japan
China
Britain
Italy
United States

redrum

@hepps Yeah, I'm open to re-ordering them to probably turn order. Though if I did that I'd probably add a little field to give a difficulty rating for each. And thanks for the image love.

redrum

I added a bit about watching out for Italian can openers as well.

@Hepps I reworked some of the image placement and formatting. Open to suggestions.

@hepps Hehe, he looks pretty wired. No more caffeine for Hepps.

prastle

@general_zod Is that his Businessman of the world haircut?

Hepps

@general_zod Sure caffeine... yah caffeine... let's go with that as an explanation.

Centurio

Looks very nice with the new icons!

redrum

Germany is up.

CrazyG

I would consider hiding the detailed descriptoins within spoilers.

Good tips on Germany.

redrum

@crazyg I don't think we currently have anyway to have spoilers on the forum though its a good idea.

@redrum I think you forgot logistics for german tech. At least I think logistics is the most important tech at all.

redrum

@wirkey I added Logistics now though in 2.8 I don't prioritize it nearly as much as in 2.7. Trains tend to make the extra truck movement not as important as before. I also think less experienced players struggle to use trucks effectively so buffing air/land unit stats and getting free materials is better.
