hey alkexr,

my first evaluation of balance is: evil is way to strong

1. no problem to take early rihan and arnor city
2. no problem to take early osgiliath.

so the momentum is clearly on evils side. easy to balance tuv early with better momentum and growing income. i guess you should do something for the good side:
a) give some more units around osgiliath to gondor and some more units to rohan
b) make few good units stronger.

a or b or even c. di somethng for the good

@Undying
i am ll player and i understand your point. but ok we reduced the risk of pearl habor by taking the russian sub out of pacific that even could have destroyed one of your 5 subs. so rigth now the risk is very low and the result you describe is only possible by bad casualty choise. so under the line i am really fine with pearl habor as it is now. only my 2cent, epi

hey alkexr,

a) i am playing bfa. cave dweller was obvious a bad example bc its lme, but the ability for mountainwalk is also in bfa. i see the notes and i find a description about all those kind of abilities. but how do i know what unit has what abilities/preferences? Its also not in the unit help.
example: i know that the warg_scout has mountaineer ability, while the ward_rides hasnt. Where do i find this in the notes?

b) invisible units: I am not sure if i like, that i cant see my own units. it happens really often to me that i forget them (builded last round, placed in city. forget them as invisible).

thx again,

epi

hey players,

today epinikions allies defeated nardwaggs axis in 11 exciting rounds. The bid was 8 and fully placed in africa. Japan went a direct line with ics in kwantung, manchuria and fic to pressure the russian east while japans fleet cleared pacific fast. Germany was under pressure all game and defended aggressive to all directions. The dice was clearly on allies side killed 3 bomber by aa and several axis figthers by transports/aa`s. The allies managed to destroy german stacks in west europe twice, so germany was surrounded by enemies when japs heavy arm stack was blocked in sinkiang.
Thank you nardwagg for a good tournament game with excellent game speed and good luck for the rest of the tournament.

best, epi

hi alkexr,

you think you can add description of unit abilities? I mean when you purchase you should know what unit is mountainwalker what is cave dweller and so on.

best, epi

hi redrum,

well yes hard ai is one thing. the main problem is ofc that he does not go for the main important terrs. Gondor needs to close osgiliath heavy as long as possible. also i guess a really important ai problem is: calcing the reattacks. its not enough to win a battle. even when you gain 30+ TUV . when you loose 50 o r more in reattack its a bad deal. probably hard to explain to a machine

best, epi

thanks guys, after redrums post i thougth it would be a nice idea to reinstall triplea and all is fine now. so i play my first game against the hard ai now. i give him good and +30% income all game. i think i can help balancing the game later. also interested in any online or pbem game.

i am really sure we have the best triplea-map here and i played almost all maps. i am sure i can help balancing later.

epi

hi,

i just wanted to start BFA local and got following error. May be it matters that i am mac user.

cheers, epi
