People stll playing ATG

[Bombur]

What do you think? I´m currently creating new custom units for GD1938 and considering a "secret projet" for a operational level WW2 game, however, it seems this game is currently dying. Is the effort worth? Is anyone interested in a new scenario/mod?

[ernieschwitz]

I am.

I once in a while look at where there is activity on the boards. As far as I can tell ATG is not the game doing worst. Pretty impressive for a game made in 2011.

Regarding scenario building. I do it because to me it is fun. It is a fun process. In my opinion if you don't think it is fun, don't do it.

I play this is my go to game I keep trying other games and always come back. The only other game that still attracts me is SPWAW and SPMBT. I do play an online game but that is not wargaming that is fantasy. I used to buy new games about every month or 2 and then I would play them a couple months and stop playing them, I now buy game currency for my fantasy game cause you guys keep me interested in Advanced Tactics Gold.

While I deeply enjoy playing ATG, I have an issue playing a game that takes FOREVER (multiple minutes) to complete each turn. If 'someone' could sort this out, I would play it oh so much more. Now I spend time between Decisive Campaigns Case Blue (can't get into Barbarossa), WITP AE and my Mac (Pillars of Eternity, Endless Space 2).

What scenarios are you playing Wargamer40?

[Wargamer40]

ATG scenarios? Have only tried the random generated largest map with multiple AI. Time between turns gets progressively much slower.

The game comes with quite a few Scenarios too, and if you are not satisfied with those, there are plenty in the Scenario bank, og VRDesigns homepage. The random generated games are only a small part of the game itself. As for AI Speed, not sure anything can be done about that. The bigger map, the more units, the more calculations...

I found with 2 or 3rd largest map selection 3 or 4 opponents and normal world time is less the max map but still lots of cities for fun

I have never stopped playing AT/ATG and have put in thousands of hours. It is the best
random game generator these is and nothing is a versatile. If I had to throw away all
of my 2000+ games and keep one ATG would be it.
I just wish I could use the masterfiles for OOB for Bombur mods in every random situation.

[Twotribes]

There are several random game master files from Bombur.

[danlongman]

I use all the ones I can.
But I want them ALL.

Well, I like to play the scenarios I create, but I found the AI unable to deal with the lots of custom SFT´s I like to create. So it´s frustating to create a scenario that no one plays.

People play your stuff Bombur I never have a problem finding someone for GD1938 and you have at least one person in this thread TELLING you he uses your mods.

[danlongman]

I use all the stuff I can. It is my big regret
that I have not learned to use the editor more efficiently.
For quick fun I can grab and adapt something that Bombur
has made and "ernieschwitz" has helped me from time to time.
Thanks guys!

[ernieschwitz]

Thank you!

Really, just call me Ernie, I don't mind

I fired it up two days ago for the first time for a while. Got thrashed (usual outcome). Tried harder last night - started at 8pm stopped 12 hours later at 8 am ! Geez that just one more turn thing - but 12 hours -that's what teenagers do, not old men like me. I'm knackered. And all that 12 hours effort was still a draw - good result for me but I'm exhausted.

Only Civilization 2 had this "one more turn" thing or addiction.

How does the AI build so much more than me?

[altipueri]

Victory at last. I just couldn't stop trying one mote turn this morning and another ten hours have slipped by.

This is the sort of behaviour you can engage in only when the wife is away for a couple of days. Phew, got away with it.

[ernieschwitz]

Congratulations on your victory
