World War I in Europe - tracker

[Modo44]

Sent the test save to Ljube.

I added the GA flag to the apropriate armoured units for France, Britain, and Austria-Hungary. France and Britain have special Tanks, while Austria-Hungary has an Armoured Car (that means different techs are required).

Any ides on what units to add/use as GA-starters for Spain and Serbia? I was thinking about copying the standard Cavalry, and giving them that.

Hmmm thought I already had Cav in Spain...

You do. I was thinking about making an additional Cavalry unit for your civ, one that would be there just for the purpose of allowing you and easy GA. Or do you really want to do that with Conquistadors?

[Paddy]

hahaha, good point

[Ljube]

Conquistadors are the best unique unit of all. The only drawback is that they cost 70 shields, but I'd say it's worth it. So Pady needs no additional UU.

As for Serbs, I was thinking about a historical unique unit. Serbian artillery proved to be particularly lethal for any opponent in WWI due to the highly trained and disciplined crews, flexible organisation in small batteries (manoeuvrability) and resourcefulness in using the shells of different calibres! Therefore I suggest you make a special Serbian artillery unit called Serbian Battery which would be cheaper than normal artillery, will have greater accuracy and lethal land bombardment.


June 1914 test sent to Modo.

The save is not here. Please send again.

Paddy gets a special Cavalry, and Ljube gets Artillery. But if I am going to give the Artillery Lethal Bombard, I will also reduce its attack strength a bit.

[Ljube]

No reduction. And cheaper than other artillery units to reflect it's smaller size. And lethal is to reflect it's effectiveness in battle of Cer and battle of Kolubara.

Save resent.

[Ljube]

Also, the ottomans are the only religious civ so they are the only civ which can switch to republic on the first turn, which is unfair. I suggest you give them some other trait, pick 2 from militaristic, agricultural and industrial.

[Ljube]

I cannot move my units still. Why is that?

Could you please include my artillery UU before we restart?

[Modo44]

Alright, I guess we just drop the stupid flag. I have no clue why it would not work. I guess nobody will attack on the first turn anyway, right?

You do not get cheaper units with better stats. Either cheaper or better stats. Since you need Lethal bombard to get a GA, it is going to be standard cost, standard Artillery with Lethal Bombard and GA-starting.

Paddy, what about that Cavalry? Or is it Conquistador?

perhaps since I am a sad sack of a player



you could give me say a privateer with oh 3X HP and maybe 2X movement

Well, I could, but Russia already has a great UU. You can build the Cossack, right? You know, that better version of Cavalry? Win a battle and your GA will start.

Bah! What about Ansar Warrior? Cheaper unit with better stats. Give me normal artillery that costs 70 and with lethal bombardment. Is this to much to ask?

Thanks like a modern day F Troop

[Modo44]

Bah, the Ansar is just the exception that proves the rule.

By the way, I just rememberred to allow Cannons to be upgraded to that Serbian wunderwaffe.
