Global Dominance

@frostion the overall size of that particular maps repo including everything in it is my guess.

[theredbaron]

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

[prastle]

@theredbaron yup I doubt we will mind throwing some cash for a larger repo

[redrum]

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

[prastle]

@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!

[Hepps]

@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.

[Hepps]

@prastle And for the record... there are no actual tokens in this system. So you're all good.

[prastle]

@hepps LOL I'll still get 91 %

[Hepps]

@prastle I'm banking on it.

Who said the merchant marine service was not an exciting part of the game?

[General_Zod]

@hepps That big ship looks familiar. Germans stole American tech

[Hepps]

@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.

[Hepps]

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.

[redrum]

@hepps Interesting. Looks like a unit which can be used to demolish infrastructure? Seems like a cool idea.

[Hepps]

@redrum Correct. Scorched Earth with the ability to decide where and when to do it.

[General_Zod]

@hepps
Great minds think alike:thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:, I have something similar drafted for BW3. Although mine would be just for demolishing factories.

With the Joint German-Italian forces on the outskirts of Cairo...Sir Winston Churchill urges his commanders in India to race all available reinforcements and supplies to the aid of Egypt in order to prevent the precious oil fields of the middle east from falling into Axis hands. Armed with their newly developed rocket unit the relief force races across Iraq in an effort to save the Allied cause in North Africa.
