<t> ah, i see... and i found arad related event in the game_events.lua, will it not cause any problem?<br/>
i cannot see the new hungarian fort arad in the picture attached, i just hope you placed it well... (why is it a fort anyway?)<br/>
<br/>
hereby you can find some more interesting events of ...

<t> i have changed the name of arad to craiova in the construction.lua, but in the game the new name has not been presented it turned to blank showing just the PP. i presume there must be something else linked too, event, picture, both, more?<br/>
<br/>
anyhow, craiova or not, fort or not, arad ...

<t> some more observations about the current diplomacy. the facts below are based on the 1914 scenario.<br/>
- you are not able to declare war against neutral countries in the first 5 turns. why?<br/>
- from the sixth turn you are able to declare war against anybody. that means the central power ...

<r> if it is about to correct the map, would you please...<br/>
- rename the romanian fort of ARAD to CRAIOVA (arad is roughly one hex above temeschburg!!!)<br/>
- replace the hungarian capital BUDAPEST to her correct place, two hexes to the west.<br/>
- replace the hungarian city of DEBRECEN to ...

<r> it is gonna be long and hard like the wand of the donkey.<br/>
<br/>
let me share you my view about the diplomacy of this game.<br/>
<br/>
about what? <E>:D</E><br/>
<br/>
true! what is called in this game diplomacy is merely a pop-up window report about the attitude of every country, a ...

<t> "In November 1914 German Admiral Tirpitz decided to have mines laid in the confluence of the Thames. Torpedoboats S115, S117, S118 and S119 sailed out, but the British units were already waiting for them: at first a submarine, later a cruiser and four destroyers appeared. German captain Thiele ...

<r> let me recommend you some more funky events!<br/>
- your country needs you! <E>:)</E>))<br/>
- the easter rising in dublin<br/>
- hms hampshire sank, death of lord kitchener<br/>
- death of franz josef<br/>
- execution of mata hari<br/>
- assassination attempt(s) against lenin<br/>
- the ...

<r> thanks for the silverton event! good job, well done!<br/>
<br/>
allow me to run around the mesopotamian front.<br/>
so there is persia, with an interesting status in the reality, but lets put playability in the highlight: it was a field of battles, so practically war country. the parties are ...

i wonder if you insert this event somehow in the game!

<t> just a thought about bulgaria.<br/>
the country joined the CP because for, say so, short term profit. what did they see in 1915? the impotence of entente in the region: gorlice, isonzo, gallipoli and the twilight of serbia. it is normal that they wanted some bites from the prey, in 1915 the CP ...

<t> there were so called two important resources in ww1: coal, indeed, but practically none of the coal mines of the war countries were in danger, except some french ones occupied by the germans in 1914 that caused some cold days for the french people later on. the other one was the food. that was ...

<t> plenty of good ideas in this forum.<br/>
resources transfer is so obvious, albeit in this case the roles of the overseas countries should be revised seriously, i mean why would for example portugal waste her manpower if she is able to support her allies with a decent resource support? sure ...

<t> i think i have found it.<br/>
there is an alliance total power check based on the alliance strength (of the armies i presume) plus the economies plus 50 (fix value).<br/>
this check is ignored in 1914 and (or???) in the first 20 turn (i think this is for other starts than 1914).<br/>
and ...

<t> thx again.<br/>
at least the upgrade got a good answer, yet i consider it as a display bug.<br/>
but the others... i think these issues should be thought again. convoys increase manpower, really, why, how? do they bring cannon fodders or what? gee, this really kills the balance...<br/>
and ...

<t> i read game_diplomacy.lua and if i read it well then if the EA is too strong, bulgaria will not join to CP. this looks ok, who wants to be with the losers? there, there.<br/>
solution a: faction alignment of bulgaria is to be set closer to zero in 1914.lua. in this case the country joins sooner ...

<t> i see, thx.<br/>
the bombard is the shock of the ranged attacks, so say. why is a different measure then? i still do not get it...<br/>
by the way, efficiency does not seem to be a big deal. many times i attack enemy infantry with zero efficiency and hardly cause some damage them. perhaps it ...

<t> anybody can tell me how the bombard skill works?<br/>
as per the advice message it should reduce the entrenchment value of the target. so i bombarded a fortress with a zep and two guns, no reduction. alright... then i tried a plain entrenchment with the same bombard power, same result. hmmm ...

<t> let me quote from the manual regarding the PP.<br/>
"production points represent currency and raw material."<br/>
very bad definition! the currencies of the central power countries were strangled by inflation, and the raw materials were just less and less available by the time, no matter what ...

<r> fanfan: one turn covers a fortnight, not a week. <E>:)</E><br/>
your schedules could work as general. but how about the trenches in the alps? or in other, unusual terrains?<br/>
anyhow, the game right now, not counting the winter periods and some special locations, simulates fairly mobile and ...

+1 for persia! ))
-2 for more turkey pp and those special units, like apc and train (except the sole fighter)! as far as i know turkey did not use armoured trains in ww1. they had some apcs, but only for show and their combat efficiency were zero: golf carts, potemkin tanks...
