There is no 4th era yet...

Looks great

By the way:

The hellcat is/was an american fighter plane, not tank.
Hurricanes were cheaper than Spitfires (because they were made of wood). They made up the bulk of the RAF.
British is spelt B R I T I S H not Brittish.

Please take note of these ideas/requests:

More unique planes such as the Zero and Kate (Japanese) and the Hellcat, Wildcat and Corsair (USA)
Amphibious tanks such as the British Crocodile (only coast or ocean squares). The crocodile also had a flamethrower.
Marines and commandos are the same thing (marines came later).
British "Red Devils" (paratroopers)
German super battleship (one time only like a small wonder if possible) "The Bismark"
German U-Boats (quicker or better in combat)
Change "panzer" to Panzer III or IV
British Gurkhas (foreign troops usually from Tibet) make these a medium between Commandos and ordinary soldiers. Also add a unit for Poles and Slovaks serving in the German army and make them similar to the above.
Add proper names for American tanks such as "Lee" and "Sherman"

Make the game more balanced. What is the point in playing as the Germans, say when the Russians have a tank which is better and the germans have no such advantage?
You can make a new graphic and name but only have one special unit (with added stats) per type of unit. E.G call German tanks Panzers, Tigers and Panthers and call Russian tanks KV1, KV1S and T-34 but make the panzers and KV1s equal, make the Panthers and KV1Ss equal and make the T-34 better than the Tiger because it is a special unit.
REMEMBER: you must have an equal amount of special units per civ.

Great Feedback...

Hellcat is an airplane. Must have mised that, someone helped me with that and I must have mixed them up...

The Zero is already in the game.

I don't think I will be able to make that amfibiuos tank, maybe make it an airplane that sink in the ocean, like an airplane version of the Caravel?

I don't think I'll be able to make a "One time unit" like the Bismark...

There already is a german U-boat (the German Submarine, maybe I should rename it...)

The Germans have the best airplanes Overall and the Best tanks to start with, they also have the best Submarine.

And yes, the game needs to be More balanced. The Germans have the Overall best units right know... (And the american Black devils might be too good.)

"REMEMBER: you must have an equal amount of special units per civ."

Yea I know, there needs to be an equal amount of the Special units, but the MOD isn't complete yet...

Anyway, great help.

Excellent scenario!

A few corrections: the Gurkhas were some of Nepal's (not Tibet) best warriors... they were hired by the British to fight for the empire. The British still hire Gurkhas to serve in their forces, even today. They were some of the best troops on any side in the war, and were famed for their loyalty and bravery. Maybe infantry with added attack and increased movement? They were often deployed in commando-style raids.

Also, this does favor Germany in terms of units, etc. Maybe restore the British Battleship (in addition to the destroyer) and give the USA "cheap" bombers, which would enable the US to come out with a massive airforce by the war's end. America's aircraft weren't better than Germany's on a 1v1 basis; the USAF was able to dominate the air war thanks to brute numbers.

You can have as many special units as you want as long as most stats are equal e.g

Zero, Hurricane, Wildcat and Messershmit 109a can all be different as far as name and graphic are concerned, but must be the same as far as production time and stats are concerned. Unless (since it is the best of these "level one fighter planes") the Zero is one of one, two, one per unit type (eg tank) or however many you want of the Japanese's special units. It is the special units that you must have the same amount of per civ. It is one of the basic rules of modding.
It does not mean, however that you can't have more than one plane, tank or whatever per civ. You could just make several stages or classes.

E.g Planes

Stage One(Class A) Stage Two(Class B) Stage Three(Class C)

Hurricane Spitfire Mk1 (SU) Spitfire Mk18
Wildcat Corsair Hellcat(SU)
Zero Mk1(SU) Zero Mk9 Kate
Messershmit 109a Messershmit 109d " Messershmit 109h"?

Stage Four (Bombers)(Class D) etc.

Lancaster
B17
Do some research
Do some research(SU)

You could make civ specific units for all civs. I'm sure the Dutch, Italians, Finnish etc. had there own planes.

You could do the same with tanks, infantry, ships, AAguns and more
It also won't be too hard to get a graphic guy to splash different colours on the planes to make them look different.

Its looking great and is good already, but lets make the end product perfect.

Cheers

Oh dear, looks like it didn't show my spaces up. Never mind, you can still read it.

**MarcusSaurono** · March 18, 2002, 16:36

Tridotan 1, Marines have been around for quite some time. France and England have had marines on their warships since the mid 1700's. America has had marines on its naval vessels since the nation came into existance. So, marines outdate commandos, unless I've forgotten something.

use <pre>Text</pre> to preserve spaces, or you can use HTML fo tables, but that is hard with the automatic linebreaking.

The Americans had the Hellcat fighter, and the M-18 Hellcat tank destroyer (basically a fast tank designed to kill other tanks)

Can you make leader units? Like General Patton and General Rommel, that would be cool and it would add more realism, just throwing in an idea.

And what about the American airborne divisions that landed in France before the Normandy invasion, they were considered better than ordinary soldiers. And maybe consider making a Ranger unit? The British commandos helped train the American Rangers.
