Happy warring

[jim panse]

And a little screenie as some kind of teaser ...

[jim panse]

I found some more bugs ...I edited the main zip @ CDG

[jim panse]

I thought I could post them units here as well

Btw, is anyone really playing this one?

Btw, is anyone really playing this one?

I'm playing it in SP atm, trying to build up my Imperio Romano.

[Arthedain]

Oh btw, I just found a bug, in Spain I got some Legions, they were probably misplaced (wrong coordinates), looks like they're on uneven squares or something. It gets really buggy everytime I move them, and they move in Spain, though not on the regular squares. Really hard to explain.

[jim panse]

That´s weird ... they should appear south-south-west and south-west of Valencia ... and I don´t know what to do before you do not come up with some more explanations, Martin

There must be an event that places the Legions in co-ordinates that are even,odd or odd, even (like 35,46, for instance), which would result in the units being on the map, but outside of the field of play, as it were. Tough to describe, but look in the events file and see.

As for me, I was playing as the Americans, and thoroughly enjoying it too, before I hit on a bug that crashes my game every time. In August 1934, when at the beginning of my turn, the game crashes straight after one of my cities builds an improvement. Doesn't matter what city or what improvement, it just crashes to desktop.

I'm at least 1 more turn away from discovering a new tech, so the tech tree isn't to blame. It honestly happens every time, and I've no idea what's causing it. For that matter, I also appreciate the fact that you're going to have a hell of a job fixing it with the limited info I can give you, but I was curious to see if anyone else had had this issue.

[Arthedain]

Steph: My problem is exactly what Paul described. The coordinates in the event file must be wrong.

[curtsibling]

The sceanrio looks great, and I love the excellent map!

I like the idea of the European powers AI acting as a buffer zone from the commies!

I am still playing at the moment, but one thing I would
ask is to reduce the width of the diplomatic (F3) screen.

I would make it about 350...



I think this has the best terrain and general graphics I have seen in MGE for a long time!



More to come!

If you load up your units.gif:
On the civilian vessel unit, I would move the shield inwards and down a little;

This will end the strange graphics 'trail' that follows from the unit when it moves in-game.

Germany was a leader in bomber design in WW1, they should have a bomber unit to build, even generic.

Also, The tanks are too hard for infantry to take out.
Tank should have good attack, but be the same as infantry, in defence.

Soldiers were the main foes of tanks in this era!

@ Curt

I think tanks are quite easy to take out. Most of them have only 2-3 defence and fall quite easily to infantry like the Reichswehr and Roman Legions.

Germany does get the Amerika/Ural bomber quite early in the game, provided you research the right techs.
