Hoi Deg 5

[juv95hrn]

Lets start the DEG 5 already.

Same house rules as earlier if no one has any new suggestions?

Since I have passed in the US twice before I will grab them this time.

Playing times mondays and thursdays at 18.00 still fits me perfectly.

Let's hear what countries people wants to play.
And lets split team to make the game even more interresting than the last one....

I also want to ban super heavy tanks...the maus-model
let me know what you guys mean about that

If Jan is playing the Emperor once more I think we need to add some challange to his game. Therefor I like to play Nat China this time.

Too hard for Japan you say? Well its a WWII game we are playing and China wasn't the Poland of Asia you know. And besides. I am not sure human (Aldo) China can stand that long anyway.

Concerning rules:
China shouldn't get any tech shares or convoys from UK when neutral (or only at war with Japan) but should be allowed to join Allies when Japan gets into war with UK (and then recieve grey tech and convoys).

About US I am not sure. You prolly know better.

Nat.China

Sounds like a great idea.
I suggest that the american player should be able to tech share silver tech with nat chin if he wants to.
Japan should be able to get the edge there anyway.

Tom: we need your icq
if we are full 8 player dag asked for the last spot, but be ready to step in for anybody who isnt there on time.
Might be place for you as sub in any place, even non-axis too, so be prepared to fight for any country.

hehe

I have agreed to let..my ..poor Japs be run by someone else..and take up the glove as a minor, which would put me in Canada..

Now I think Natchin is a nice idea, but for one problem...
War breaks loose in mid 37, and since warrules state, below normal during wars, we will be stuck in below normal from that date...
This means we will all die horrible..yet slow deaths ..particularly the late war entry players...

I think we should stick to Romania/Hungary/Canada/Aussies

THE KING IS BACK.....


Well after spending a week in Greece looking for possible openings in the enemys defence and learned alot about the "coverd sex" Im now again ready for some HOI. If a spot will be open at monday, I will demand this at once....

 

[Janster]

A change of pace

I think its about time we start to use the 'mods' out there..

Presently its clear that we have problems with some of the current things in HOI..particularly germany super-duper heavy tanks..

As such I suggest we use CORE Hoi mod as this one fixes these problems...

Its a bit annoying with all its pop-up stuff, but its has a lot of new and nice tech and ways to improve your stuff.
As for stability, so far I can't say it has any major problems.

In there there is no way to have MAUS by 41..

Can i be Japan then?

So i can start practicing some new tactics until monday!!

[Janster]

hmmm

I think Japan is taken, but Italy seems up for grabs..

I have looked some more at the CORE module, it seems that the tech tree is good, but Italy is weak, very weak, makes no sense that they should have 100 MP in 36, its a country with 30+ million inhabitants..altough they get 24 mp a month...I don't know.

What I really want is the CORE tech tree, cause I'm also sceptical about the sheer amount of events that pop up, they are a bit in the way....I want historical units and settings, but every small event that happened isnt so interresting.

ohwell think about it.

C.O.R.E is a great module, but completely inefficient if you want to run a smooth 8-player multi-game. Lets stick to basic HOI. A small solution to the problem with high.tech tanks might be to play on very-hard setting. Less IC means less tech and units. But on the other side no-one will have any real problems with resources.

 

[unmerged(14210)]

CORE

Agree

We play standard HOI, very Hard.

CORE is great etc, but unstable and untested for big sessions.
If you decide to go for CORE, then play without me.

 

[Janster]

difficulty settings

A higher difficulty setting unbalances the game heavily in favor of the axis, not sure we want that.

My boss from hell demands my attention this evening so im not able to make it. Have a good game.

 

[MegaPIMP]

how do you set "rules" as server? or is it just: DO NOT DO THAT! OK!

do you play on valkyrienet or the internet?

 

[Janster]

No way to set rules as server, its more of a common don't do this and that rule that is agreed upon by all.

Plus there is the, if you think it's shady, ask before you do rule.

Italy

I asked for the US but got Italy... So Italy is taken... mamma mia

 

[juv95hrn]

Core is too untested and slows things down too much and some players dont even have it installed. Maybe for DEG6.

Nat China will slow things down and make it harder for the axis. We will discuss this at 18.00 and make a decision.

The nat. china disadvantage could be evened out by the very hard setting if all agree.

I could yield from the US a third time and take USSR from Tomar if this avoids any hard feelings?

Previous DEG players will have first pick on states and being allowed to play if we are too many. But being on time is the first prerequisite.

See you at 18.00
