Roger's Scenario Thread

[board 3659]

@rogercooper yeah I agree, as well as the militia unit. I personally would restrict where you can produce similar to colonial troops to at least make the amount produce a manageable amount (militia only in Balkans, hitman in only Venice. Ninja is a good unit that is well designed due to being produced in only one area, not sure why the other ones were not better treated). I would also make it a 4/0 unit since the Penal is a 1 cost 3/0 unit so it just makes sense that Hitman would be in-between. I personally would make a lot of special units. needing tech and probably make a new tech system IDK like GW1936 though I need to see if it's possible

IMO I think majinots should be non-buildable for most nations except maybe Nemo pirates and Martians since it gives France a huge defence advantage (plus the Martain/Nemo Pirate Economy is smaller than frances; a third at most)

[RogerCooper]

@board-3659 There is a lot that could be done to improve this scenario. It is a good choice for further modding.

@RogerCooper Hello!! Is there an updated download link for the Russian civil war map (2 player, 3 player, and 6 player)? I've been looking for a playable version of this scenario for awhile. Thanks so much!!

@christian-dutrow I will make that my next project to post to github so you can download it in-game.

@rogercooper I see that the russian civil war is up for download. When I start the 6 player variation a failed to start message appears stating the following: "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Error in resource loading. Unable to load expected resource: polygons.txt, the error is that either we did not find the correct path to load. Check the resource loader to make sure the map zip or dir was added. Failing that, the path in this error message should be available relative to the map folder, or relative to the root of the map zip"

It seems like the thread on github that it forwards you to is a duplicate of an issue in new world order 1915. Any guidance on what should be done? Thanks!!

@christian-dutrow
I think you need to unzip the files and then delete the zip file.

The real issue might be that the zip file structure needs a map folder?

[RogerCooper]

@christian-dutrow This should make it work

1. Open the folder <user>/triplea/downloadedmaps
2. Extract the files from russian_civil_war.zip
3. Delete the zip file
4. Rename the folder, removing "-master"
5. Go into the folder. You will see another folder ending "-master". Go into that.
6. Copy everything in that folder to the clipboard
7. Go back into the main folder. Paste everything in
8. Delete the "-master" folder

It will work now. I am not sure why the downloader is messing some mods in this fashion.

Why does the zip file need a map folder? These mods play perfectly well on my computer without a map folder or ending with -master.

I did say might as Im not sure either why it fails, only that if I put a map folder in the usual place and zip backup it works without error

I try that with next mod I post and see if it helps.

Name: Global 1940 House Rules with Canada
Description: Just like the name says
https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Global_1940_House_Rules_with_Canada

Good Points

• Canada!

Bad Points

• Some glitches, for example you can build 10 at a minor factory

Note: I would prefer house rules people to choose a set of rules they like and make a mod, rather than having a huge number of options.
