Longest Day MODS

Quick question.. Is this still a mod primarily for H2H or does it apply for AI play?

Thanks for the work here.

Hello,

There should be a connection between Ouistreham and Hermanville Sur Mer, I will get that updated asap.

Gz..

Edit: FK check your email, updated map was just sent...Also I added total points in the upper right corner.

As far as game play, as FK said we designed it for H2H mainly to give the German player something to play for. The outcome may still be an Allied victory no matter how well you play the German side, but at least it will take longer to achieve. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

He spent a lot of time on the actual movement of the Allies during this 4 day period to determine the points you see listed on the map. One thing I did notice (not testing) just to make sure the GC worked (we had an early map issue that caused a slight problem) was that the 505/82 out of St Mere Eglise moved inland toward PontLAbbe with the Mod and moved to Ravenoville (toward the sea) without the mod on the opening night turn. Not sure I would want to move that BG in either direction, but if I did it would be inland. So as FK points out the Allied BGs should push inward toward the higher value maps.

Hi -

It is designed for H2H. However, it will functionally work against AI. On the map level, the AI will still try to capture and defend flags as it did before. However on the strategic level, the AI is likely (not thoroughly tested yet) to pull back to defend the high value areas. This can however, cause the AI to block it own reinforcements that arrive on Day 2, 3 and 4.

EDIT: Sorry - I guess I was just thinking of AI Germany, but if the AI is Allies, I think this should work just fine, as strat AI should attempt to drive deep which will open up beaches for follow on units. This may cause the AI to get into your supply lines which would be interesting. Again, haven't tested AI usage much at all yet.

I found this thread to be very interesting.
I have always wondered does the game have any type of AI when it comes to the strategic map. And I don’t recall seeing any information about it.(or don’t remember)

It would be nice to see what comes of this when someone only plays against the AI as that’s mostly what I do.
Do you guys have any intentions of doing the same for WAR?
This thread got me to wondering what are the points for the maps in WAR,so I complied a list,if anyones interested
Also if its possible could you post your readme file for the mod here so I can read it as I dont own tLD? Thanks

Those scores are misleading - each map in WAR is probably just like TLD, that is, the score values will not be in hundreds, but probably teens or less.

I don't own WAR though, so I'm not likely to do this for it anytime soon, but panzerlehr has it I think, so maybe he will tackle that project.

I'll post the readme in minute.

TLD Score Mod Readme file attached.

Downloaded. Thank you Krieg and Lehr for developing and providing this mod to the community.

Thank you!!!

You are very welcome guys - I hope someone else can enjoy the vision we have for the game.

Cheers

Andrew,

FYI - I was unable to DL mod from link you provided. To clarify, the link to the website works, but the link for mod does not work. I get an http 404 error.

ok thanks

will check.



Fixed... updated V1.01 link working now.

Updated the readme a bit and might as well bump this too!
