Preview: Battle for Britian

UK, Denmark should be under Nazi control. Even if it's the start of the French blitzkreig, Germany had already captured both Denmark and Norway by the spring of 1940.

noted. I was hoping to give the Neutrals a fighting chance

Hey Uber it looks great so far, but what about RRs in Europe?

There are RRs in Europe. Most of Germany has RRs (the southern parts and Polish parts are lacking a bit). France has RRs connecting some of their major cities.

Any progress on this? Need any help?

I've been real busy lately (leaving for college in 2 days. getting all my stuff together). Right now all i really need is to make a tech tree, however annoying that is.

Also, I have to give the units to the civs. All the civs have a basic garrison, Germany/England has some / bombers / uboats / fighters / battleships. Germans have soem panzer divisions.

I have to give units all around and then try to balance them. I do want France to fall rather quickly though.

I've been tossing around the idea of actually having the navy come with a later tech, forcing the Air battle to last a while, but it might be stupid considering half the world cant hit the other half.

On a map of this size, we're going to need Aircraft Carriers, no matter how historically inaccurate.

"The Germans Massive Aircraft Carrier Fleet Approaches Scotland"

maybe i could make JUST transports come later, and give them subs / ACs / battleships / destoryers right off the bat. hrrrmmm...

also, the idea of "nation-spacific" resources is intriguging to me.

Perhaps i could make an island in the middle of the atlantic to represent American aid for the British, and give them a special resource that allows those cities to build Mustangs. These cities wouldnt have harbors (they'd be inland), and I guess they couldnt have airports either.

Battle of Britain. We weren't fighting over our land. We were fighting over it. In the air that is, rather than for possession.

Well, you see, the problem with that is that they didn't have a chance. Are we making a scenario, or a mod?

i played as the neutrals in the civ2 version of ww2 and laid the smackdown on the germans.

sure, the scenario ended WAY before that, but it still worked

i loved playing that as Spain.

just some quick thoughs:

1. the German lost many pilots due to the short range of the Me 109 and the order not to leave the bombers allone, no matter how much fuel is left. You should keep this in mind while setting the Aircraft ranges

2. the German fighters weren't invinerior to the RAF planes, the lack of a heavy german bomber was the achilles heel of the Luftwaffe (for example the attacks on the british radar did so few damage that it was repaired quickly, sometimes even within 24 hours)

3. you should keep the arming of the planes in mind when setting lethal sea/land bombing.
A Stuka with 2 3,7cm Paks under its wings will have a hard time sinking a ship while it can easily take out tanks.


ps: taking over the world with neutrals rules
