Scenario Approval Discussion

[BULLDOGINTHEUK]

Yeah, I didn't know that..

[rickier65]

I've looked at StarDrek 1.5 and suggest we approve it and move to the approved list. Ironcrom or Bulldog?

Wouldn´t it be better you guy´s wait until the test game is over ?
So far we found several bugs and maybe there are some more we just did not find yet.

[BULLDOGINTHEUK]

I believe most bugs have been ironed out now but I don't mind waiting another week or two to ensure that its solid.

I am attempting to contact the designer of "engineer war" to determine if the one awaiting approval is the final version before I start testing it. His discussions on the forum suggest he may be making more changes soon.
 
@Rick... Is the WAW mod a final version? I know you have had some contact with the designer here. I thought maybe you might know what's going with this one.

I'll check with Murat on the waw mod.

Does the web site default to the pending approval box rather than the sandbox box?

I looked at the engrs war as well and thought it looked like it should be in the sandbox based on his thread.

greetings there, i are the designer of WaW 32 mod for 1.15, it is on playtesting phase but already playable, main issues will be about balance on the scenario, i am playing it these days but was wanting to make it public to allow people to try it, i think germans are too powerfull on the mod but still have not reach to fight the russians and United States, i was trying to add it to sandbox instead where it are now, maybe i modify something when finish playtest's play on it, may be for sandbox for the moment i think,

thanks for the support on it,

with best regards,

Alarick/Murat30.

Alarick,

I'll go ahead and move it to the sandbox, and in meantime I'll check the paths as well and let you know.

Also, what about the Diplomacy Napoleonic Wars. Were you planning to make any changes, or should we move that to the pending approval?



Thanks,
Rick

greetings, dear Rick, about the napoleonic scenario i have not still the time to test it, i was wanting to make it playable by the AI but these week has been invested on the WaW 32 1.15 mod, anyway, thanks you for ask on it, i know the problem but can take some time to make the changes on the napoleonic scenario, AI keeps-off without build troops as i changed all builds on "no combat" items, i, well, strongly, do think that if i change infantry, cavalry and artillery to his "item type groups" AI opponents will build them, if it is not problem let stay the scenario at least one week on the sandbox, is all time i do need to try the changes and see what happens on a game against the AI, i will make a post there when test is already done and can make to left the scenario on "only human players" or "available for AI players",

thanks for your time and support, see you latter,

with best regards,

Murat30./Alarick.

 @Murat
So... Your not ready to seek approval on the "Napoleonic scenario" yet?
 
By the way. sounds like some interesting changes to the WAW scenario. That one is my favorite.[;)]
 

[rickier65]

Alaric -

No problem - Just let us know when you think it's ready for approval and I'll be glad to take a look at it again. No rush.

greetings, final version of napoleonic scenario just uploaded, i think it is ok, at least for playtesting, it is what miss-off still now, i test first AI turn, actually the .zip have two scenarios, one with political points granted and the other re-set the allowable builds to adress the AI to build as wished, AI cannot build political points, as it has been disabled, so, not production is wasted, AI, when revised the cities in the test of turn 01 was building, ships, infantry, cavalry and supply, the ratio is 75% (default) of % artillery, not seen that have build artillery, i think the scenario is ready, thanks for all support and best regards,

Alarick.

greetings, the original WaW 32 is very good but i was wanting to feature the historical panzer units, so for the russian guards armies, veterans-survivors of barbarossa and the shock troops and hvy artillery, have been fun to edit it, but even more fun is playtesting it and seeing all work in order as intended at first, the mecanics about russia war entry, japan pressure from germany and USA entry are events well done by Tom that give both realism and playability as when you attack russia at most USA will enter the war in no more than six turns, USA is very important and shatter the balance, is good that there are not option for attack russia but remain at peace with USA, a such option will shatter the gameplay and the balance needed, the most difficult balance to find is to give the russian enough strenght to stop the germans in november/december 41 indeed near moscow, leningrad, stalingrad but not too much that shatter the balance, i still are before barbarossa in my test game, casualties stats gives a figure that the scenario works well,

hope you enjoy playing it, as allways with all scenarios/games really where the scenario shines is in multiplayer, but against the AI too can be a good challenge, if do not give problems, there are enough variants about balance, as Tom explains and the AI (+/++) bonus,

with best regards,

Alarick/Murat30.

"Diplomacy Napoleonic Wars"

Scenario seems sound to me.

@Rick... What do you think about the install?
If you think the install is good then my vote is for approval.

It's a new version so let me recheck it real quick. It was set up ok. But I'll check , and if it's still ok I'll go ahead and appove.

Rick


EDIT:

Ok, actually it's not, but it's close. I'll fix it and upload it fixed version later tonight. At least if it's as easy to fix as I think it will be.

Glad we can help Alaric - It's a small amount of work compared to what it takes to build a good scenario.
