I could, maybe, upgrade this scenario by removing regimes, going back to 14 players. It also could be possible to increase units cost.


I don't think the number of regimes is a problem, most of them are so small that they take just a few seconds to process. The big ones were the US and GB, those took the most time.

Again, I think the movement rates and the timescale are off. I think engineers are underpowered in terms of engineering points per unit.

The unit costs and sft build costs should go up considerably, as long as the AI actually has to pay them. I suspect the problem is that the AI gets free stuff so much it blows up the unit count and craters the game.

Status: offline 		This version is an experimental one, and will only decrease number of regimes to 14. If this results in stable gameplay, then next step would be to rework the tech tree, and adding events to allow the AI to make research, maybe adding naval units to AI regimes too. I´m thinking in a more complex tech tree, allowing players to pursue different strategies, while the AI would be given the techs in their historical year.But I´m also willing to know what the GD fans want....

Status: offline 		Well, I really like the tech bleed feature, and I also like the city upgrade feature. I think engineers are underpowered and I don't feel the time scale and movement rates are all that realistic. I feel that the unit cost to construct should be a lot higher. At least I do so in the hope that the AI will have to pay for it because it goes absolutely ape sh*t building shell units by the tens of thousands.

On this scale I'm not sure what an SFT represents, so many 1000's of soldiers per sft point etc. But the cost to effectiveness ratio's seem a bit off somewhere.

I would hope that the nation limit eliminates problems I had with the mod, or at least delays them until I can smash some of the stronger regimes down a bit. Assuming I do that is..

1 Infantry SFT=20 infantry squads
1 Machinegun or AT item SFT= 20 units of this equipment
1 vehicle or aircraft SFT=20 vehicles or aircraft
1 Ship=1 ship
1 Artilley SFT= 20 guns

I am most interested in a new or just a usable version. The Bombur Mod 1900 was my favourite.
With resources. Please, oh Great Bombur .

Status: offline 		I just loved the look and feel of the 1900 mod. 1900 is such a good start right before flight and the mass employment of MG's.
Resources are important for me in random games as it adds a whole level to the geography but I realise it is very hard
or maybe not possible for the AI. I just liked a lot about that mod, the plethora of units and the cool graphics.
When technology is made very expensive the spending of PP's is an agonizing process. You want better infantry but the money!!!

Status: offline 		I´m currently improving Bombur mod for Global domination. If the whole thing worls well, it will be possible to revert-engineer the mod creating a second random mod 1900....But, as far as random games are of concern, I´m more interested in the Bombur mod 1930. I think it will result in better gameplay with all these custom units.

Status: offline 		I will gratefully take whatever you produce and thank you very much for it. My only complaint was that in a random game
(which i play exclusively) I get too many resources in the pile at the start and do not have to work for them.
Thank you.

I'm liking the looks of the 1930 mod, haven't had the time to try it yet, too many things to do. But, I'll get around to it.

Can somebody tell me how to adjust the (in my opinion) overabundance of resources?
I do not know how to do much with the editor.

Status: offline 		The way it works now, in a random game, you start with plenty of oil and ore and then get something like 2000 of each per turn regardless
of what you own or build up rendering the resource situation meaningless. I would change that if I knew how. I know there are AI issues
but the old resource mod where resources had to be connected and developed added much to the game for me. I like that geographic dimension.
That is why I would like to see farms and lumbering and other economic things. It is not for everybody and I know that.

It sounds like an even easier fix. I might look into what is required. But no promises...

Status: offline 		I am just saying what I like. Not demanding changes forced on everybody else. Some people do not care to imagine
where resources come from or want to develop them. It is just part of my fun. I like seizing oilfields and rich mining areas
and building roads/rails to the same.
