Beta version of GD uploaded to the community site. It now features 14 playable countries and more 25 minor regimes. Cities now can be upgraded too.

ahh Bombur that sounds good I will take a look at it mate. 

YAY ! Going over to get it.

Tell me if you find bugs, I already detected two minor ones...Suez is an airbase (should be a port) and Dar Es Salaam is a city (should be a minor city). This scenario still lacks events. They will be added latter, when we see how the AI is working.

I've been playing it again as China vs. the World. VERY INTERESTING ! There are no roads in China, so the rivers are a major obstacle. The AI is much faster even with the new regimes to consider. Having fun !

I suggest you to upgrade to v1.01 (just uploaded) it fixes some annoying bugs, like the new regimes being unable to produce resources...the game is playable now, but I´m noticing the AI isn´t very interested in research under Bombur mod....

A major bug, preventing cities from being upgraded, was discovered and fixed. Version 1.02 is ready in the community website...

you might want to help it now and then with some scripting giving it some free research occasionaly.

I'm having a tough time against the AI and all it's freebies. I can't believe the size of force it can maintain without sufficient supply.

-That´s my plan...but I still don´t know what paths the AI is unable to research...

In my current game, the AI has researched infantry to level 3. That was a really aggressive one. So far the others have not researched from what I can tell.

In my current game (argentina vs. the world)... The american AI has at least researched ships 2. I can see that by the number of Medium Cargoships he´s sending at me

Other than that, nothing to report, except the slow decline of brazil (ever since they declare war on me) Oh and i am in 1908..

These are good news, any other bugs found?

I wouldn't call it a bug but research is danged expensive. Also, I took yatkusk or whatever its called from the soviets and it's going bonkers with pp production.

Strategic transport via train is pointless.

Not sure it´s entirely pointless... but it does seem to require an awful lot of trains.

11 trains can transport 20 SMGs from Buenos Aires to Porto Alegro... thats not a fairly long distance, imho.

Yeah research is rather expensive. Not sure it´s because i have a "smaller" country, or that it´s because it in general is expensive. About yakutsk... you sure it has a HQ within distance... and it´s not just piling up unused PPs?

OK, now i am in 1917 and Great Britain has Rifle II and SMG II. As far as I can tell from the tech tree, this is Infantry level 4! Oh and it´s 1940s tech.

Yeah, that's where GB was in my game, but GB had it around 1915 or so. I had a huge fight on my hands for India and the Middle East. Once I scrubbed GB out of India, I steamrolled the Ottomans and swept through the Arab states as well as Turkey and into Southern Russia through Georgia. The Russians are facing me full force, but TMK thay have not developed any tech.

I was trying to transport an engineer unit via rail and even though I spent many turns building up 30 odd trains I couldn't transport the engineer unit at all. The engineer was large but only enough to build two roads per turn.

Yakutsk is set to build PP's and it's building something like 15 or so a turn ! Wowsa.

Research cost in random maps is based on the size of the map, so huge maps = very costly in research, like Staff II is 400 PP's or thereabouts.
