Actually I say it for specifically v3 map in the other maps it may be not problematic because bomber cost is higher in some maps and Italy is part of Germany ant it makes Germany less vulnerable to bombing.

Germany has to focus on east while slowly giving up west, Austria should focus on taking on Italy. Turkey should take Egypt and naval dominance is too imprtant in Eastern Mediterranean.

I haven't played v3 for a very long time, I though downed bombers do damage. But assuming 3.5 average damage it is still net profit for bomber side since 17.5-12=5.5

Even it would be still way too good tactic if bomber cost was higher because Axis is more dependent to Strong Germany than Allies depend strong USA. For example if you delete 10 Production power from both Germany and USA, you would break the balance in favour of Allies because German units are actually more versatile and can threat more nations at the same time unlike USA units.

I don't say USA should only bomb Germany. After certain point USA player will only need to purcase one bomber per round and they can still spend other Pus for land units. And there is no way for Axis player to counter this. Axis can't abuse it just bombing Russia or UK because both Moscow and London has less production capacity than Berlin and it makes them less vulnerable.

Bombers average damage is 3.5, bombing an enemy factory with 6 bombers will cause rougly 21 damage and one bomber will be shot down by AA. In this case bomber side (21-12) have net 9 Pus profit and it will be permanent as long as 6 Bombers will constantly bomb and enemy cannot prevent iy unless air battles are present.

So Am I missing something? Why isn't it banned in V3 tournaments?

Is is possible determining a certain TUV for land, air and naval units separately and dispersing them randomly to controlled territories at the start of the game by engine?

Did you value Ottoman territories if yes can I see a screenshot?

Wouldn't getting Italy be game changer for both sides? Can a game be balanced with CP Italy and Entente Italy at the same time?

I see Austria starts without Galicia, Vojvodina and Northern Tyrol. Germany has no Alsace-Lorraine. What is the reason just wondering.

BTW Dom 1914 had another issue imho which is Austria's tendency of becoming more powerful than Germany due to lame income distribution. A good WW1 map definitely shouldn't let this kind of results because games become extremely broken when Austrians (and sometimes even Ottomans) becomes stronger than Germany which was very common because Entente is easily able to rush Germany and ignore other fronts and in this case Entente wins always no matter how strong Austrians-Ottomans.

First I really recommend making Western and Italian Fronts more valuable than Eastern front and making Baltics more valuable than Ukraine (Although very unrealistic but for balance/playability purpose).

Going West-East or balanced manner should be equally good for Centrals. Both in Dom 1914 and Great war rushing east is definitely the best one and it makes maps predictable for me.

Roughly how much bid do you give to AI?

It works well now thanks.
