2194 Gigamap Version 0.9

[tarpoon]

Maybe you could remove the ability of seeing Subs from all early german bombers and insert the Ju-290 as submarine spotter later in the war?

Tarpoon, there just isn't any room in the unit slots anymore. Should I dissallow all German bombers from seeing subs, thus forcing them to get the generic Bomber to spot subs?

It just seems like it will put the Germans at a severe disadvantage.

I agree but we also have to look at play balance, or else we have a scenario where one side always wins.

Well I doubt this would tip the scales either way since the Allies will rarely use subs.

Then I'd remove it from the Generic Bomber too. So the Axis and the Neutrals wouldn't be as effective against subs, so what? If anything that'd be more realistic.

don´t forget that one HUGE reason for the us victory over japan were the us submarines in the pacific theatre. high japanese navy officers said after the war to us officers that the usn subs were THE factor that forced japan mainly to defeat.

Hi folks!
im new here coming from the german "civilisation webring forum" ... i really have to say, you must have spent a lot of time on your gigamap project and it really looks fantastic.

But if i try to use the batch file and choose option no.1 it does not work... ?

And pleace dont mind my English...

[conmcb25]

Actually when you start the game you are already at option 1 .

In order to change at the seasons you have to bring up your siv and have the first unit blinking but do not move anything.

Save that turn as 2194Days.net or.sav or .hot

Then run the batch file and select the correct season.

Then load the 2194Days.net or .sav or .hot file and play on.

I believe rules1.txt is in case you have to go back and play before April of 1942. then at least you have and option to run the batch file and make the scenario do the right things.

Does that answer your question?

[conmcb25]

BTW Rules.txt needs a change. The new SBD Dauntless was inadvertently added as a land unit.

Hopefully Pap will get his hard drive back soon and be able to do it or else Ill try to get un-lazy and do it for him and post it here.

Thanks a lot! I just did not know that otion no.1 is already chosen if youre starting!
I played some scens with batch files before but here i always had to choose option 1 before starting...

RULES.TXT CHANGE!!!!!!!

Pap's hardrive is down hard till around the end of February. Im helping him out a little bit. One bug we discovered was the American Dive Bomber (new unit for version 0.9) was accidently added as a LAND unit. Corrections to these 9-rules.txt files fixes that problem. Just copy these rules.txt's over your old rules in the scenario folder.

Terrain

Would you consider taking a closer look at the terrain choices you've made? At the very least, switch fertile terrain and rice paddies and put the former around the world. And it appears that anti-tank terrain is distributed randomly around the map. Is there any reason (other than the obvious, it would take forever) that none of the cities are on defended terrain? Why not switch tundra and rice paddies to make the former look more polar and not out of place in the map edges? And water for a special resource?

[Cifer Almasy]

just a little question:

dont you want to use the original city names of every countrys language?
Like Praha in Czech
and Nürnberg in German
and Oslo with the little o above the O (my keyboard is not able to do that I guess, but we have scandinavian users here)

that would be some more original, imho

[EmuGod]

For me the batch file works when I tell it to load up number 5 I believe but then when I load up the game it says "An error was encoutered in the evetns file". It also does this for #6 as I tried to simply bypass 5 to see if that would work. It did not and I was doing so well....

[Pap1723]

Damnit!
I changed a lot of the German tanks and what they upgrade into towards the end of the war, and I think that I must have forgotten to edit the correct entries.

I'll work on that.
