Global Domination, 1938

[ggm]

noticed that inf 3 does not upgrade to inf 4 WAD?
night bomber 1 has no upgrade path.

ggm

can't wait for next evolution

perhaps the bombur mod could be extended into the future:

helicopters transporters, attack helicopters, ground attack extended into the future: a-10s etc..
night bombers-> stealth.
hovercraft with land sea transport.
at missiles. AT and TD

rocket artillery could be divided into towed and truck, SP rocket, MLRS.

also another level of artillery could be added, ie modern light towed artillery (105/155 paradroppable / airtransportable)

APCS-> IFV

should MGs Mortars and Bazookas be airdroppable?

Note: Artillery has nominal bombard against ships. Should Rocket artillery have some attack against ships?

Flak VII has no ground attack ability unlike other flaks. WAD?

just some thoughts...

[Bombur]

We will include the fixes in the next versions. Not sure if we will add the newer units...maybe..

[lion_of_judah]

I would say that yes bazooka's and MG's would be paradropable, since Airborne units had these...

[ggm]

bombur,

I got your tech files, but I cant get the map to work. the map is a default map with two players....
but i cant build anything. suggestions?


ggm

37 mm at gun is in ships counstruction slot. some regimes start with m10 in vehicle slot 1930's tech.

Just uploaded to the scenario bank is version 0.81 of the Global Domination 1938 scenario.

It has gone through alot of changes, and has now gone from an Alpha to a preliminary Beta.

Among the changes are:
No more precursors. These were basically annoying and only caused people to scratch their heads in the planning of their economy, and put a damper on how much they could produce.
No more research points. Yes, the scenario has gone back to using PPs for research.
New Tech system. With the re-introduction of PPs for research, we had to do something about the research system. It is now alot bigger, and has quite a few new and interesting techs.
New Subformation Types. The subformations available has now been customized to the scenario, thanks to Bombur, who worked tirelessly for about a month to create what is surely now a very unique set of unit possibilities.
New Air and Navy OOBs The Navy and Air OOBs are now realistic.

We are also working on a more finished Beta which hopefully when ready will contain:
Alliances. So it will be possible to have US intervention in Europe, for instance, and the BEF going ashore in France to help against Germany. Not to mention Italy gaining help from Germany.
Cost reduction for techs already researched Just like in Global Domination, this is on the drawing board for a future version.
Realistic OOBs for Army Yes, this is on the drawing board too.
And many many other things..

[Bombur]

ernie and me started work in what could be v1.00 of this game. We finally reached an agreement on a model that will allow alliances and some diplomatic flexibility. Basically, the 4 good guys will be forced to play nice (but they can do alliances between themselves) while the 4 bad guys could do almost everything they want (risking only to suffer a disastrous defeat). Among new features, the USA cannot declare war on minors and Chile and Mexico could join the USSR if a coup in these countries fail.

Nice work guys, top notch stuff.

[ernieschwitz]

Soon, I will post an updated version of this scenario....

I have been working overtime, the last 3 days, to get something good done. That is I have done a revision of all countries OOBs so they are now more realistic.

Also Tech Diffusion has been implemented, as well as alliances.

So it finally happened.
The Global Domination 1938 scenario has gone Beta. And it is available for download in the scenario bank. Have fun playing it

[ernieschwitz]

GD 1938 (Global Domination 1938) has reached late Beta status.

I have uploaded version 1.14 to the scenario bank, and with any luck this will be the last beta version.

[ernieschwitz]

I uploaded a new version, which uses the file GD1938b v114b ... I did this because i caught some errors i think i want people trying out the scenario, not to experience. Sorry for any inconvenience, if you downloaded the previous version.

[Jeffrey H.]

Time to have a look.

[ernieschwitz]

I have uploaded a new version of the scenario. (version 1.19)

Things adressed were the cost of river crossings, bridge strength, and a few new custom units have been added.
