I've noticed the same thing. As the Union you have to slog through the Rebel AI hordes in the early part of the game until you capture enough of the big coastal cities that it finally starts to hurt. The Confederate AI always seem ahead on the good techs too like Corps development. In this game we ...

I have 2-3 gunboats on each convoy lane taking 100+ mpps out per turn

I have now played several games as the Union against the AI on the default setting.

Most other games, to give balance, adjust each sides victory point requirements. They do not artificially adjust unit strengths or the amount of units.

Yet this game, at the default, gives the Confederacy an ...

I hope you are still working on this it looks awesome.

Thank you.

Question:
Will this game be updated to bring the Pacific theatre AI and rules inline with the new SC War in the Pacific?
If the answer is yes, approximately when could this be expected?

I was nervous about getting the new SC War in the Pacific game, but finally saw some decent reviews and bought it ...

How do I tell how far away my mining station will mine?
I am in an asteroid area. How many of the asteroids will my mining station mine?

In picture below what is the green halo around my selected mining station?

Suggestion:
Ships should have a highlighted background until they are leaving the Spaceport (they can be given missions).

Question #1
Is there a way to turn off suggestions to build a mining station at lower level places. Example, the AI continually wants me to build mining stations at a place with ...

First, the changes made to the 1941 startup have really done the job. The Japanese can do what they need to do, but they don't steam roll. The Japanese player now has to really start to watch how and when they do things as they no longer have infinite resources to do all that they want at ...

In testing I can take the DEI on turn 1 still fairly easily.<br/>
So not sure it matters.

I haven't been able to get the DEI to fall in 1 turn, but still have a lot of testing to do.<br/>

I love the ...

<t> I have asked this question to start the discussion.<br/>
<br/>
I have played out the Japanese first couple of turns now under 1.00.02 and I have to say I LOVE!!! the changes. It really makes you think as the Japanese player and requires you to think about priorities.<br/>
You do not have the ...

<t> 1.00.02 is a great improvement in slowing Japan down.<br/>
No longer does Japan just walk into the DEI and the Philippines. They now feel like real operations.<br/>
<br/>
Japan starts with an oil stockpile of 160.<br/>
Japan is going to use 45+ oil per turn invading and moving her fleet.<br ...

I really like your terrain. Gives an old map kinda feeling.

<t> Bravo sir.<br/>
<br/>
Completely changes the opening. India is not viable now given the extra convoy routes. Yes, you might invade, but not cutting off India anytime soon.<br/>
<br/>
DEI does not fall on turn one, but oil can be gotten by turn 2.<br/>
<br/>
Philippines appears harder to ...

The game doesn’t *need* to do anything. The vision is up to the game designer. Threatening to play other games is probably not helping your case…

All of the above can blockade. In fact your blockade force should almost always be in raider mode and be a fleet of three subs, they're the cheapest ships in the game, hard to find and seem surprisingly resilient. As the Allies I can think of ...

<t> This game has potential.<br/>
<br/>
It does need to follow history better.<br/>
<br/>
We need to better understand what "winning" should look like.<br/>
<br/>
For the player as Japan winning should look like a quick expansion with domination, a short period where they are equal to the ...

<r> Just to clarify my position:<br/>
I want to move this game closer to World In Flames and away from Hearts of Iron 4.<br/>
<br/>
Here are my latest suggestions:<br/>
<br/>
== Victory Points. Midway, Hawaii, and Okinawa should be VP's. I am okay with Wake not being one.<br/>
<br ...

<t> I think there are lots of ways to go, but I do not know which is better or even what is possible.<br/>
<br/>

== Get rid of all these 1-4 STR land units and use "intrinsic" values. Assume islands have a "defensive battalion" in place. When an island is invaded the invading force, after ...
