Global Dominance
-
@redrum Based on some of the changes in movement and other aspects of game-play it should have a feel close to what TWW already has. Of course that is a fairly broad assumption until we are actually moving pieces around the map. The increased size certainly allows for more movement options... but the pace of play should be roughly the same with the exception that there is a lot more room to move around.
Certain things take more time to build... but those changes are really meant to bring more realism and create parity to the timeline rather than changing it.
While movement has been augmented with things like trains and rail on land and naval movement is pretty dynamic. IE. Under the right conditions the U.S. can still move across the Atlantic to the coast of France in 2 moves. Or can reach just shy of the coast of Australia in 2 moves with certain unit types.
All in all the design is meant to give a more realistic feel to the game rather than extend it out from a timeline perspective. That being said.... til we get boots on the ground it is anyone's guess.

@hepps FYI, free GitHub repositories are limited to 1 GB, and this includes all history (when you make changes, the old being kept in memory).
If this map, as I can imagine, is going to have about 0.5 GB for the relief tiles only, that may be an issue.
I'm not saying you have to curb your map because of GitHub limits, as that would be sad, but if it happens to hit the 1 GB in total, you will need to discuss with the developers how to handle it. -
@cernel Like so many of the obstacles that have been part of this game development... we shall cross that bridge when we come to it.
-
@Cernel A quick question: Is the 1GB limit a limit on the size of the map release master zip file that gets downloaded from GitHub? (or what we call that file .. hehe
) -
@frostion the overall size of that particular maps repo including everything in it is my guess.
-
Based on Github's help documentaion, this does not appear to be a hard limit, but in the area of 1 GB. If this indeed becomes a problem, I'm sure the community as a whole will be itching to see GD come out so much that we can find a workaround.
As was said before, this is a bridge on the Rhine and we are still plotting D-Day
-
@theredbaron yup I doubt we will mind throwing some cash for a larger repo
-
We can just do another migration and move all maps to Gitlab as they have a 10GB limit! https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/admin_area/settings/account_and_limit_settings.html

@redrum Woot!
-
@redrum If you let those more capable than yourself deal with the things you have neither experience nor knowledge of... the results are always unfathomable to the uninitiated.
Collaborative efforts and expertise are the things dreams are made of. If we simply took possession out of the equation there are no limits to what human minds could accomplish.

Little update on the progress of this project.
After some lengthy discussions and brainstorming the process for pursuing multiple R&D paths simultaneously has reached the point where a functioning model has been developed.
The ability to develop new technologies in each of the four research paths at the same time is on the horizon.
Here's a teaser...
More to come as GD development is once again the only thing on my plate.

@hepps Why do I suspect i will be the one to roll 91% with 12 tokens?
Looks good!If we open a quarrel between past and present, we shall find that we have lost the future! Sir Winston Churchill
-
@prastle It's ok because in all liklihood... you will have purchased all 12 tokens anyways... so it will really only be adding insult to injury.
-
@prastle And for the record... there are no actual tokens in this system. So you're all good.
-
@hepps LOL I'll still get 91 %
-
@prastle I'm banking on it.

Who said the merchant marine service was not an exciting part of the game?
-
@hepps That big ship looks familiar. Germans stole American tech
-
@general_zod Well for the time being at least all the Large Transports will be uniform.
Lots to do and now I am trying to focus on more immediate concerns with the map development.

With work progressing nicely...
One last new unit has been introduced to make the game even more audacious in its tactical options.
Facing the overwhelming tidal wave of the Red army on the Eastern front.... the beleaguered front line commanders of the wehrmacht take measures to do what they can.... ordering the Engineers to demolish as much as they can before Stalin's troops take possession of Eastern Poland.
