Thanks again, Taxman!

If it is true that fractional numbers are rounded down, then an upgrade from level 1 to level 2 would not improve the bomber's attack value against land units, which goes from 1 to 1,5 for medium bombers. Is that correct and (if yes) intended?

Thanks, Taxman!

<t> This was probably clarified ages ago already, but: Does the combat odds prediction take *everything* into account and the result is then plus or minus one because of the result of a dice roll ONLY, OR are there certain things the combat odds prediction itself fails to "see" (like e.g. fighter ...

So if i understand the new patch correctly, currently the russian surrender has three+one routes:<br/>
<br/>
1. Sent lenin and accepted brest-litovsk: minor gains and new nations including ukraine, but need to keep 6-12 units near the ...

Thanks Bill. I actually had tried that, but for some reason the "victory" tab was empty. Turned out I must have saved one more time when the game had already ended - when I loaded an earlier save, there were lots of victory scripts to untick and it's working now.

<t> Playing the Axis, I was asked whether I'd agree to a major victory in 1944 - which I declined because I wanted to try out invading the US for once. In Russia, I was close to Kubyshev and operationally removed troops for a late Sea Lion. I had absolute air and naval supremacy and thus got really ...

Oh ... then that would explain it. Though it doesn't feel quit right, I gather that more strict supply rules would cause too much micromanagement and would probably also overwhelm the AI's capabilities.

<t> I really love the tool tips over the convoy lines - extremely useful stuff! Same goes for the tool tips for the red and purple hexes when aircraft are undersupplied - before, I was never quite sure what I was supposed to do exactly (especially as it seemed that the hexes were actually in good ...

<t> In my last game as the Axis I noticed that the Soviet ships still had supply 8 indefinitely even though all their Black Sea ports were gone. Turkey was Axis too. Actually, I vaguely remember that I've reported this bug a couple of years back already (though I'm not 100% sure about that, it might ...

<t> That "shock troop effect" is in place in WiE too - it's strange how you can easily get the best tech for Bulgarian, Rumanian and Hungarian units while Italy is permanently struggling to keep afloat.<br/>
<br/>
I think in future versions all countries should actually be treated like majors, i.e ...

<t> The NM boost in this case should to be so big as to prevent them from "withdrawing" because of collapse - as this means no plunder at all for CP. OR the Central Powers should get said plunder even if Russia "just" collapses - could this be programmed in?<br/>
<br/>
The biggest issue IMO is ...

<t> Something definitively has to be done with the Russian surrender at 0 NM when you don't send Lenin and don't get the Brest-Litowsk treaty option (or decline it). Germany only getting Warsaw (And A-H zilch) feels like this is just a path no one considered fleshing out yet. <br/>

In a way one could argue that this is included in infantry and artillery techs.<br/>

One solution could be to offer "one-time" tech advances, to be used in a single combat of choice.<br/>

<t> Hitler died with 4-5 German units still guarding the "Gustav line" in Italy. Seems the AI has big issues getting their priorities straight.<br/>
<br/>
Btw Hitler also died whole year early - summer 1944. Considering this was AI vs AI, it might seem that the complaints about Germany being OP in ...

<t> Thanks Bill, I think this explains it - there must have been remnant Axis forces still within 4 hexes of Marseille. <br/>
<br/>
Thanks also for the headsup regarding where I can find the events descriptions/conditions - I thought I would have to dig in game folders to find those. <br/>
<br ...

Maybe there's a per turn chance? For after what seemed alot of turns, the event suddenly fired without any noticeable change of circumstances.

I still find those Vichy partisans fighting for the Axis kinda strange.

<t> Chemical warfare was/is particularily disgusting and thus I don't know how I'd feel about its concrete inclusion - I know this isn't a particularily "good" argument as atomic bombs and strategic bombing of cities as against civilians should be even more disturbing and is still a staple of WW2 ...
