New Gigantic WW2 Scenario is coming

[Evil Capitalist]

So MGE is not the same as ultimate civ2?

[Fast_Eddie]

UCC = MGE.

[Evil Capitalist]

Thanks for clearing that up. It's been bugging me for a while.

SCIENCE

There are 6 separate technology lines:

Mobile Warfare I (allows Motorized and Light Tank) to Mobile Warfare IX (allows IS-3, Maus and M40 GMC).

Infantry I (allows Field Fortress) to Infantry IV (allows Airborne).

Naval Warfare I (allows Transport and Destroyer) to Naval Warfare IV (allows Type XXI U-Boat).

Aircraft I (allows Bomber and Fighter) to Aircraft IX (allows V2).

Nuclear Project I to Nuclear Weapons (allows Nuclear Testing wonder and Nuclear Bomb), 9 technologies.

War Economy I (allows Medium Factory and Hydro Plant) to War Economy VI (allows Stock Market and Superhighways).

All nations can follow all technology lines but can build only one type of units (German, Soviet or Allied ) of course. All nations have chance to get nuclear weapons in this scenario.

German type of units – Axis, Spain, Vichy France, Turkey, Finland, Sweden, Neutrals.
Soviet type of units – Soviet Union, Yugoslavia.
Allied type of units – Allied, France.

The Germans could mass produce a Maus like they could mass produce a battleship. Besides, the thing was impractical. You may wish to call the Panzerkampfwagen E.100 the Tiger III. The tank was basically a scaled up Tiger II. It had a 150mm gun and a coax 7.5mm. It weighed significantly less than the Maus (about 100,000 pounds less), which meant it could actually cross bridges.

[DarthVeda]

There was also a Panther II about to go in production. The chasis was similar to the Panther, except more armor, and the gun was the infamous 88.

[C0ckney]

Marko, this is sounding great

any idea about a release date yet?

[Marko]

To Darthveda:
Maus in this scenario is tough but very slow and extremely expensive to build as it was in real life. When I play as Axis I don't produce Maus because it is more profitable build other tanks.
Same about Battleship - it is too expensive for mass production, also vulnerable to air attack.

To C0ckney:
I'm now playtesting the scenario and plan to release it in November.

Holy Crap!


I read this awhile back...then forgot about it.
This looks outstanding! Excellent work Marko! I love the idea of entering into the war at different times. I cannot wait for you to finish the playtest. Keep up the good work!

Estonia? Holy crap... I guess there's more to Estonia than existing for Finns to get cheap booze, gas, and "cjompletely original" Adibass shoes (I'm wearing a pair right now.)
