<t> 10/25 likely to low but if Germany attacks the shipping WA to a great degree consider the cost to the German player. The investment of a sub , and the German player would need many and tech to really cripple WA shipping early takes a huge commitment on Germany's part. Thats production the German ...

I like that idea of escalating sensativity but I dunno how easy that would be to do code wise. I agree though that 20/40 is hardly going to be noticed from 25/50 , which is why I was saying 15/30 sounds like more of an actual change.

<t> 20/40 does to little to change the overall effect imo. I would aim more for a 15/30. Might want to consider also 20/30. With 20/30 you encourage an Axis player who wishes to be sub aggresive to invest heavily in tech to provide kills rather then damages. It would also give the allied just that ...

<t> I didn't say no cost. I simply feel 25% is more then appropriate to mirror the effect you describe. It's growing annoyance shouldn't be "sink 4 transports and catapult the US forward a year in WR". Obviously this still has a chance of happening even with 25% for both damaging and sinking rather ...

<t> I was wondering why the Axis is penalized so harshly for Germany conducting sub ops early on. 25% seems more then enough of a chance to raise US WR. I don't see why destroying a transport has twice the chance of increase WR then damaging one. Considering the investment it is for a the Axis ...

Looking to start some more PBEM games. I'm interested in playing Axis for the time being standard settings.

resent mine as well in case the first time it was lost for some reason as I've not heard back either.

email me at arcticfire@gci.net

I'll be happy to play axis.

Ya know , its a shame it woudl require UI tweaks to make it so that the more spys you have the more they start to cost to make more. There have been many limiting steps to prevent wonder weapons , spies really should be held to the same standard.

<t> What about the idea of making it so you can only steal 1 tech per turn per country yous teal from. That way instead of someone ripping off every single field you are ahead of them at all in almost every turn they get randomly just 1 notch in one field. In this way spying may boost something your ...

Seems like a good change to me personally.

I'd challenge the point that only the Allies profit. Yes, Germany would be kept from spying on Japan. But that only directs Germany's spies towards their true enemies: WA and/or Russia. This is both more historical and makes more sense ...

Just to let everyone know where this stands now. I've changed Japanese starting security to 15. I could be convinced it should be smaller, but this seems like a number most people were happy to see. I don't expect to make any other ...

In short I think altering the spying system to much , especially for instance doubling japan's starting defense to it neuters options for Germany that is not needed. <br/>

A much better ...

<t> All your points are valid but I think where your problem comes when relating to the game is abstract and time. For instance making the experience of troops is all well and good except for the fact that the games time line passes to quickly for anything in depth.<br/>

Most of your points ...

Sorry I gave my contact info because I don't check this forum very often.

<r> Hello everyone,<br/>
<br/>
Just got AWD a few days ago. I played the original a fair bit. I am however pretty rusty and am still adjusting to the changes in the sequel. I'll do my best to put on a good show but understand I might blunder. I am most familiar with playing Axis so would be ...

Greetings looking for a new game. I prefer axis , email arcticfire@gci.net

I would imagine being axis in those would suck.
