GD 1938v3 Standard Version

[ernieschwitz]

I'd like to announce that GD1938v3 version 107 is now in the scenario bank. This version fixes a few bugs, and adds some tweaks to existing features.

- The Lobby card is once again working. It was not available, as it should have been, after war in Europe occurred.

- The Lobbying system is now improved. Where the range of the lobby before was failure or 1 point difference, the difference is now a range of numbers. This means that lobbying can be effective once again. However it will never be so effective that it stops the US from getting closer to entering.

- Isolationism length has been adjusted. This means that the time the US player has to wait before being able to go to war, is reduced. This change has been made to all the settings you can select.

- The US economy bug has been fixed. Before this fix the US economy would get to a certain point, and then after each turn get bigger and bigger, automatically. This was an error. The US economy boosts now happen as they were supposed to work.

- Diplomatic visits now result in a minimum of 1 drift being added. The reason for this is that if not, some country could get into a situation where if discorded enough, wouldn't be able to get out of the negative drift that they'd get, thus ensuring they'd never be able to get control of the country.

- Bombur also made some changes to the SFTs/Items. I hope he will detail them as well.

As always enjoy the game if you are playing it, and have fun [:)]

Version 1.08 is now Live.

This will be the last version that is able to be played on a Non-Phoenix version of ATG, as the next version will be running code unique to Phoenix.

Here are the changes in this version:
The Instability counter was made slower. This allows countries to remain less stabile than now, where most countries became rather stabile fast. Stability influences the ability to threaten a country, and also the amount of special events that occur for these minor countries.

Alliances were changed. You can still make them, but they now do not automatically share recon. Instead you can play a card to allow you to share your recon info with the country you are allied to. You can also revoke that right.

The "Use Box" card and "Use Map" card have been removed. This was long overdue, since a change to the ATG code, made the zoom to box function not work.

Fortifications are now non-degradable. Before they would lose structural points if not occupied, until they disappeared. They have also gained a bit more structural points. However they now need to be built over several turns. A 40 engineer point formation (that is 40 engineers I or 20 engineers II) have to be in the spot, and cannot move until the building is done. It take 4 full turns to build it. You will be able to see, on the map, how much time there is left before it has been built.

The card "Live off the Land" which China gets at times, will now also supply the top HQ of the chosen HQ with 750 supplies. Supplies in general seems to be one of the problems that plague China, so this will help some.

When the Germans attack for the first time, they begin a timer. This timer is 13 turns, and counts down. While this timer is not ended, the Germans have a special bonus the first two times they attack a minor. The minor will lose readiness and entrenchment in all its units. This is to simulate the surprise that it came as that the Germans would actually attack countries that had nothing to do with the conflict at hand.
