Since about 10th June,I have had no communications with the powers that be,I tried to contact them,with no response,well I have had enough,I here by state that I no longer play an active official roll in this game development.

That said I'm now free to push on with my own efforts, to mod the game without all the red tape restricting me. (FREEDOM)[:D]

Good luck with all of you endeavors, Kirk. For years I've known you to be a great modder, graphic artist, and have improved games immensely.

Might WPO be calling again?

Kirk - Damn shame if you ask me. Really enjoyed having you involved. I think your efforts were reponsible for a lot of the responsiveness we saw concerning problems with the game. If the powers that be have any sense they will re-engage you ASAP. You are an incredibly valuable resource.

I don't think this is over..... A lover's spat, maybe.... Divergent thinking to attain the same goal, a management issue that is taking a holiday till a course of action is put to plan, just a guess..... A resolution has to be done, for the game cannot stay the way it is IMO..... Kirk has put a tremendous effort into this project, besides that, his PR has been invaluable[;)]...... I've been mad, angry, upset, pissed off, want to cut their head off in their absence of communicating, however many of those emotions melt away when there is a good talk and a patching up of differences. I can only hope that happens here for the benefit of all.

Have a nice day everybody[:)], Bob

Thanks guys for your backing,I would like to continue to help in the games future development,but it has to work both ways,there has to be an interaction of ideas,I'm really really frustrated because my communications for weeks have been ignored,so I ask you, how can I improve the game without official response from the small team I'm supposed to be working with and helping?[&:]

The US is going to kickass tonight! Against Belgium I think, I can only hope they know where the other end of the field is? Welcome back Kirk, even though you never left![:)]

This probably explains the silence: http://store.steampowered.com/app/297090/

Looks like the game is being revamped by a new developer and re-released on Steam. New scenario, new art, AI tweaks. I'm happy to see it.

Free Upkeep?

Post by Hellfirejet »

everything is back to how it should be,with everyone determined to make this great game even better.

great! welcome back!!!! [:)]

Thank you!

There has been a long standing query regarding Free Upkeep Allowance,I hope the following explanation will clear up a few things.

FREE UPKEEP ALLOWANCE!

The free upkeep thing is not a bug,the free upkeep allowance was increased so that large countries like Germany & Russia could build enough land forces to protect their borders on 2 or 3 fronts at once.But since folks like to see maintenance cost's in the management screen,I have altered the settings for the up and coming patch,Free Upkeep Allowance is now 5 for all Countries,but since this is an advantage for smaller Nations,with less border area to protect,larger Nations like Germany,Austria,Turkey,France,Britain & Russia have been given more Manpower & Production points to compensate for the reduced Free Upkeep.

Please clarify,

Take 5 to mean 5 units regardless of their unit type? or does it mean the first 5 of the lowest upkeep costs? or the first five that are on the map and what happens when any of these 5 are eliminated? If so, what units (in order) on the map become one of those 5? In otherwords, could that 5 apply to 5 infantry units vs 5 submarines? or am I missing the message here?

Its not the first five on the map,it could be any combination that adds up to 5.

Garrison = 1 UpKeep
Infantry = 2 UpKeep
Armour = 5 UpKeep
Artillery = 2 UpKeep
Zeppelin = 1 UpKeep
Fighter = 2 UpKeep
Bomber = 3 UpKeep

Example:

It could be 1 Garrison + 2 Infantry = 5

Or it could be 1 Armour = 5
