@RogerCooper
The correction are simple replace "ttatch" with "ttach" and "victoryCity" value="true" with "victoryCity" value="1".Cheers...
-
@wc_sumpton The program changes are not all validated, so the error you get might not tell the whole story, and the game might not be correctly updated by just assuring fixing those. The foremost case is properties.

@wc_sumpton The version I have has had the xml updated and works fine. WWII_Nazi_Threat.xml .
-
@RogerCooper No problem, the version with the above link seemed outdated.
Cheers...

@RogerCooper said in Roger's Scenario Thread:
- Germany is too weak
Curious if you mean balance-wise or history-wise or both.
-
@Cernel Germany is too weak in both respects. In AI play, the Germans get nowhere and the Entente quickly gains the initiative. Historically the Germans conquered Belgium in 1914, Poland in 1915, Romania in 1916, the Baltic in 1917 and in 1918 came close to breaking the French & the Italians. Only the arrival of the Americans and the demoralizing effect of the blockade defeated them.
The movement allowance are way too low in this scenario. The military superiority of the Germans is lacking. The economic advantage of the Entente is too small.
-
@RogerCooper History-wise, that is beyond any reasonable doubt. Balance-wise, what I understand you are saying boils down to the fact that Germans should have more TUV and either the Entente more production or the Germans' allies less production or both?
But is it possible to pursue both balance and historicity in a WW1 game? Was my "or" possibly not exclusive?
-
-
@Cernel Historically the Germans came close to winning WW1. So it is better to ask what was is wrong with the scenarios.
The problem I see is that the Germans should have better attack strengths than anyone else and on large maps infantry should move more than 1.

Isn't this supposed to be covered by trains, on this one? I would expect maybe saying that trains should be more/cheaper/faster.
-
AI does not know how to use trains, so if you are playing against AI, just do not use trains.
(but they do in Zombieland, so what's the diff?)
