Discussion on TGW v1.05b

[ptan54]

Actually since we're dumbing down shore bombardment, we are likely to increase the penalty for amphibious assaults, which in the time period were extremely difficult to conduct. Bit silly to have a landing on Pomerania settle the matter......

Er, so how do I get my unmovable gas attacks to attack? I managed to annex mexico and place 30 divs of gas attack in the province bordering on texas (though right across the rio grande).. and when I tell them to attack, they say it's out of their range! it's exactly 1 damn province away.. just across the river.

Oh, the folly of the world, when will this end?

Certain provinces in the US has too long range between them, I am supposing that you are using the first type of gas attack, which has crappy range. The whole range system is an ussue in HOI, which measures the distance between the center of one province and another, and with jumbo-sized US provinces, you know what will happen.

So the game doesn´t care if it shall 'just fly over the river', for it, you are ordering it to attack the center of the other province, which happens too be miserbaly out of range.

SOLUTION: Beat up your computer, send threatening letters to paradox and phone Johan at night, whispering threats into the phone...

Er.. which file do I edit so that I can *cough* realistically be able to "use" my poison gas?!

db/units/flying_bomb.txt.

But really, do you think that it is realistic for an artillery piece to fire a gas filled shell 750 miles, or for a canister to be opened up and for the gas to drift that distance?

Hello,

another thing: shouldn't there be a few more field marshalls (especially for Germany) because the AI doesn't promote generals and it gets quite some penalties for overstacking and no HQ...

[ptan54]

I agree here - a few more FMs should surface for all scenarios, not just the later ones.

 

[Java of Flanders]

Hello,

There was a rank in the German army: Generaloberst (and even Generaloberst mit dem Rang als General-Feldmarschall), they should be Field Marshalls.

Regards,
Jan

I quess I had better start leaning German. . .

I am not sure what to do next. . . I am playing as Italy. It is 1919. I am at war with Germany & Austria-Hungry. Turkey is out of the war, as well as Russia, and the most wonderful thing is that France has been defeated and Germany has installed a puppet regime! ! ! The US is in the war, but have yet to see any Yanks deployed. So basicly the only 2 majors left are Italy and GB. (and I realy would not consider Italy a strong major, but it is doing well)

Serbia and myself hold all of the Balkin territories, except Bulgiria. I have tried to take Innsbruk, and the western terrirory next to it. All my attacks end in defeat, even when attacking with mtn. troops. I just can not seem to make any inroads into Austria proper.

So should I continue offensive operations and be a pest on the Austian front or go on a major defensive policy and plan for the German conquest of Italy? ? ?

When I checked the National Army chart. The kaiser had something in the area of 214 divisions. That was followed by 30mins of crying. Sadly there is no way that Italy can equal that manpower strengh.

A brand new update?

I might do, but I must seek the permission of the elders before taking such a step.

Since when?

Allenby if you feel that there should be one more beta release before v1.0 comes out then that's cool with me.

 

[Gwalcmai]

I don't know what's wrong with Allenby lately, things are becoming strangely democratic here...

 

[Allenby]

Just a brief note that I may release a download of updated minister, leader, event, technology, unit and AI files very soon. It won't be '1.06b' or anything - just an addenum to the current edition.

 

[unmerged(27668)]

Any chance for a 'hard' version in the foreseeable future?

 

[Allenby]

Any chance for a 'hard' version in the foreseeable future?

September or October, possibly. There is extensive AI work that needs to be done, not to mention assigning countries with their starting techs, completing sprites, as well as a few game balancing issues to be done for various scenarios.

lots of WW1 pictures possibly for some of the techs.

[ptan54]

Perhaps another little update should be released, so the Nov 1914 scenario can go beyond a year?
