Hi all. I'm kicking around getting back into the game, and I'm wondering what version or mod is considered optimum these days. I was an early fan of Michael's beta, and played around with Don's Babes back when I played, but never went beyond that. I used to be tech-savvy and give others advice, but ...

<r> Aurorus is correct about the potential exploit. Instead of arguing back and forth about what <B><s>[b]</s>should<e>[/b]</e></B> happen when starting a new game with the same Japanese seed turn, try actually <B><s>[b]</s>doing<e>[/b]</e></B> it. I did, and the result of the same Japanese seed ...

<r> <B><s>[b]</s>Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. I am not remotely interested in just being good. <e>[/b]</e></B ...

Could you post a screenshot of the VP screen please when you have a minute. I assume the capture of Chunking pushed things well into auto-victory, but I'd love to see the details if you don't mind.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>7. Honestly I gave up on installing the beta patch for now. I'm a bit burnt out on installing stuff (been learning some C++ and THAT involves tremendous amounts of installing apps) as well as reinstalling all my old games. I may get around to it eventually, but it sounds ...

<r> Are you asking a game question, or a "why was it designed this way" question?<br/>
<br/>
If it's a game question, the answer is simple. The F4F3 only has an effective transfer range of 15 hexes, whereas the F2A3 can transfer to 31 hexes. If it's a "why" question, the effective range thing has ...

Troops outside of a base will build forts if they are stationary. The rate of building depends on many factors, but the maximum build is level 4. If I'm remembering correctly.<br/>

<t> Your switches should be applied to the desktop shortcut that you're using, and that shortcut should target the "War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe", not the "Autorun.exe". Using switches on the first (if used correctly, as noted in some of your comments above) should produce the desired ...

I'm also glad to see you doing another AAR, Zulu. After all, someone has to represent Maryland in this sub-forum, don't they? Good Luck as always, sir!

<t> Gentlemen, this debate is now five pages long. It's also pointless. It's pointless in the same way that debates on religion are pointless. This is not a debate based on fact, it's a debate based on feelings and ethics. There can be no winner or loser, since it's a matter is personal opinion. A ...

I noticed that some of my units had a 'stacking cost' number - I cntrl-f'd through the manual, and could not find anything about this.<br/>

what does this number signify?

<t> Moose, don't stop asking questions. Roughly 70% of the time, you'll get a fast and reasonable answer without any grief at all, which makes this forum more reliable than most of the rest of the internet. 20% of the time someone will steer you wrong initially, but they will then invariably be ...

I was looking at the beta patch. Are there more than one beta patches or updates on the beta patch? This is a really long topic with lots of posts of bugs. Are there multiple updates? Do they need to be installed sequentially? If there are ...

OK. I am once again doing my annual restart of the game. My goal is to play a game past the end of December 1941 and not wait 8 months to start a new game! Is it the fact that December 7th is once again a Sunday? Maybe. Or the fact that I ...

No, it's missing altogether, hence my post.

You're playing with different maps. (Different pwhex files.) Have him send you the one he's using, or you send him a copy of yours and you should be fine.

<r> Michael, if you're still working on AE bugs, then:<br/>

A) You're a better man than I am. I've thanked you before (many times, despite my low post count) but I'll thank you again now. Whether you have the time to look at these or not, I still love the beta, and will continue to play with ...
