board 3659

@rogercooper I won using Hard Mode AI (had to think a bit more but still won in 2 rounds). Not sure if it's a fluke. Have you played as the Martians or just Nemo Pirates (what was your experience while playing them)?

RogerCooper

@board-3659 I have only tried Steampunk Advanced as the Nemo Pirates.

board 3659

@rogercooper cool how was your experience as them

RogerCooper

@board-3659 It was fun to play, but I never completely figured out the rules for placing undersea farms. And after a certain point, the Allied fleets were strong enough to choke off my expansion.

board 3659

@rogercooper I do. You can place them when you control territory that is connected to the sea zone where you want to place (only 1 can be placed per sea zone). You should place at least 2 minefields to defend against the enemy ships.

RogerCooper

@board-3659 Sometimes it wouldn't let me place even though I controlled an adjacent territory.

board 3659

@rogercooper did you do it on the same turn as you capture it

RogerCooper

@board-3659 Yes, it usually let me place immediately.

board 3659

@rogercooper I am playing right now so I can quickly test

board 3659

@rogercooper For me it doesn't and I have to wait next turn

@rogercooper Isn't strategic bombing on Germany by the US becomes too powerful without National objectives? I've also always found the Allies way stronger without the National objectives.

Try out strategic bombing as a strategy. and see how well it works. I think that Allies are bit better off because China does better. National objectives helps everyone except China, so if the Japanese don't focus on China initially, China can become reasonably strong, protecting Russia's Eastern flank.

I have not tried this. I don't like games with inset maps and there are many features that are not AI-compatible.

@rogercooper ok I find it hard to learn but am trying to

Some mods just suffer from feature bloat. Too many unit types and too many special features. A&A is basically a simple game and best TripleA mods are not complex.

My suggestion for the American Civil War on computer is Victory and Glory: The American Civil War. I have not seen a good TripleA mod for it.

board 3659

@rogercooper Find it harder to learn than GW 1936. That one at least has axis and allies as a skeleton. This one is too different (resource management) for me to easily learn. I think this map kind of told me not to go too far with my map
