Dainichi Sekai Taisen - Available Soon

[kobayashi]

After ZWK, what else but DST

[kobayashi]

And I even used the unit format that everyone here likes.

[kobayashi]

And when will it be released? Soon. Testing is in its final stages. So get ready for ...

[Cyrion]

Sounds more than interesting, Kobi! :

What will be the time and geography limits?

What civs will be represented?

[curtsibling]

An old master returns to show us how it is done!

There is a veritable outbust of scenarios recently, superb!

Looking forward to this one!

1937 jan to Aug 1945. There is no atomic bomb unit as such, if you don't achieve a negotiated peace while owning a certain number of objective cities, you automatically lose.

The Map stretches from the Eastern half of India to the Western one third of North America.

Civs are

Japan 1
Japan 2
Allied E
Allied W
China
Europeans
The rest (mainly Russia but also Mongolia, Tibet, Mexico)

plus Barbarians = warlords including Siam

Eivind said he put together the cities from your material, do you recognize them? Also I must tell you I ripped of some icons from dictator.

@Kobayashi

An updated set of the Japanese infantry you are using. Hope it comes in useful.

Looks good! Why 2 Japanese civs though?

While that's probably true, that's not to say that I didn't like the graphics in ZWK; I thought they were great. If you had gone for hi-res in this one too, it certainly wouldn't have stopped me (or anyone else in the community for that matter I imagine) from playing it.

A bit OT, but I finally got around to playing a few of your back catalogue that I hadn't tried before. TRON was fantastic: there's nothing I liked more in this scenario than max zooming out every few turns, hitting the 'view hidden terrain' button and seeing how much more of the world had turned blue!

WON on the other hand... I really, really wanted to get into this. So many innovative concepts, it looked like a winner. I started to play and persevered for a while, but if failed to hold my interest. There was simply too much to do i.e. far too many cities to manage. The AI cargo containers seem to serve no purpose other than to block you from transporting goods via the sea, and I could find no way to kill them. Have you ever considered doing a version of this on a smaller map with less cities?

[kobayashi]

Why 2 Japanese civs though?

You get free (cost 1) resource units spawned at objective units and you have to use them to attack the second Jap cities to get supplies (cost 30) units which can be disbanded for their shields.

GRAPHICS - Photoshop doesn't work on XP so no more Hi-res.

TRON - glad you liked it.

WON - Its all about using your own ships to block the routes you use, much like in the real world where there is a cartel controlling all the shipping lanes.

Maybe if you played as one of the smaller economies, like Japan or Asia, it would be less complicated. Actually setting the cities on auto and then just focusing on bribing and conquering the cities you need is not that tedious.

Too bd nobody ever discovered the Easter Egg in WON.

The US aircraft would look better facing east and the Japanese ships facing west IMHO.

That's them alright. But either you must have shifted the order of them or changed the city styles manually, because this doesn't seem as the ones I sent. Japan has soviet style, and soviet has jap style. How much more left btw? Do you still need my help?

[:) Smiley]

The black and white striped railroads are a nice touch- exactly how the maps of the time represented them. What do the roads look like?

facing East means facing the right, so you mean it the other way round?

[curtsibling]

I think he means from their perspective, yes.
