  • Blitzkrieg - Awakening the Giant!

    Blitzkrieg


    Hello everybody!
    I've never been a real 'member' of the scenario league, but I would love to join you guys. My first contribution to the league, is
    as seen above, a scenario which I'm currently working on - 'Blitzkrieg - Awakening the Giant'. It begins in June 1941 ( when ww2 really became ww2 ) with the invasion of Mother Russia.

    It's ment to be a multiplayer scenario suitable for PBEM-ing. The scenario is still very undone, but I have a good draft that I'm posting here. It's not a very revolutionising scenario, it's merely a scenario made to, hopefully, amuse the players . It's gigamap and the civs are, in playing order:



    Imperial Japan
    Axis
    Neutrals
    USA
    British Commonwealth
    Nationalist China
    Soviet Union

    + Sinkiang (Neutral China) (Barbaric civ)

    I've spent over 6 moths up to now in more or less silence, so it's funny to finally show my work to someone else. I've made most of the graphics myself and that can take quite some time!! If you guys could be so kind to open the sav-game and give me some feedback, that would be extremely useful. Feel free to comment on anything: graphics, unit balanceing, city placements...Anything! Please give me the last push over the finishing line

    Thanks for taking the time!

      But Sinkiang wasn't that big!! And it was neutral, in the whole war.

          You're completeley right about Guam. I didn't notice that one World record in responding to threads BTW. I don't think it took you more than 50 seconds. Congrats

          And for some reason Sinkiang controlls Tibet

          It's all taken care of! Thank you, FiGu! When will you Finish Front be ready?

                It begins in June 1941. As said in the opening, the scenario is far (well, not really that far ) from done. I still have to fix little details like that

                And yes, they did control the Marshalls...

                  Oh, and Finnish Front is... coming soon....

                  And a question, which map are you using? im maybe intrested to use it in my next scenario. ill begin working on it after Finnish Front is done.

                  Put one Infantry to guard Luleå, The axis can take it in one turn

                  and a suggestion : put rostov instead of Krasnodar, it was more important during the war.

                    Some minors details I like/dislike

                    1) I like both the map and terrain graphics

                    2) The Russian citiziens appear as the citiziens of the ancient age in Civ2

                    3) You combine English names of cities (example: Mexico City, Peking) with native names of cities (Moskva)

                    4) If I recall it correctly, the Yakolev-7 was used much more than the Yakolev-9, and was nearly as dreaded as the former... Have you though in changing Yakolev-9 with Yakolev-7?

                    5) Alll civs appear to be able to build German ingenuity

                    6) I don't like the red brackground - I've some problems while reading the text boxes

                      Looks groovy!

                      There can never be too many WW2 scenarios!

                      I'm sure this is going to be a great scenario once the beta tweaks are done!

                      Darn good work, Kobra!

                        Thanks for responding and thanks for all the nice words!

                        All notes are taken into account, yaroslav! I'll se what I can do with it!

                        Could I ask for another favour? Could a kind sole make the title.gif into a working title? The Painshop Pro 8 certainly won't cooperate with me

                        And to the kind sole: While you're at it, could you also transform the bmp's to gif's?

                          Urm, you've missplaced Melbourne: it should be at 233,197 Port Morseby should also be moved to 238,142

                          BTW, the population of Derby wasn't more then a few hundred in 1941: you may want to leave it out
                          (I'd use the city this frees up to either add Adelaide (which is where Melbourne currently is), or Johannesburg, South Africa.)

                          There was also a rather strategically important road running through central Australia from Adelaide to Darwin, you may want to add this as well (there was a rail road from Adelaide to Alice Springs as well)

                            Thanks pointing these things out, Case. I apreciate it!

                            BTW, does anyone know what Mexico City is called in Spanish? Do they only call it México?

                              Isn't it called Cuidad Mexico or something like that?
