A World at War
- Thread starter M60A3TTS
- Start date
This is from a "completed scenario" from the creation forum. These often feature fully placed units, towns and roads, everything. Nearly all units are made for the scenario or at least not from C3C.
You may start out with hundreds of units day 1, and of course so does the other guys. Some structures or wonders do make units, not sure about this one as I have yet to play it. I loaded it up, but it is a huge effort to play.

Here is a demographics comparison near the start of the game to the present time.
Playin in sid and owning the computer.Awesome...
A question, how strong is the AI in civ?I mean, how efficent is in medium-high levels compared to a medium player?or it is stupid and need the game bonus?
And How is the corruption?You can really found and use for conquered cities
And last, i read what the AI raze the cities in that mod.It happen so often?

You will get many replies to that question, but it after years of gameplay, humans cracked the code on how to defeat the AI at the highest levels. The AI relies on the production bonuses and reduction in science costs to keep up with the human. The AI will allow its large stacks to be bombarded into oblivion by air attacks without complaint.
Corruption varies in the generic game, and many factors are involved. There are other places in the forum that discuss corruption in great depth. In this scenario, corruption is not bad at all. My Chinese cities far from Russia are as productive as many in the USSR. There are no specialist policemen in the scenario to reduce corruption, but it really is not impacting the ability to build many units.
In this mod, the designers built wonders in each city for no other reason than to avoid the AI razing them. The AI will not raze cities with wonders in them. Otherwise, there's nothing like watching half the cities on earth disappear. Later, a no-raze patch was developed for the game that I normally use anyways that solves that problem.
First M60 is a very experienced player. Second scenarios that start you with lots of units and towns effectively negates the bonus advantage of Sid.
Not all the bonus as they still have the cost reduction, that is not what gets you. What gets you is that they start with 18 troops and 2 extra settlers. This means they can kill you right off the bat.
Here they will have a harder time as you have units to fight with and lots of towns to make research possible. This was why most games were played on island maps aas the AI cannot invade so well.
The level of difficulty has no impact on how well they play as far as tactics. All level use the same AI settling, unless you change it in the editor. They just seem better as instead of coming at you with 2's and 3' like Regent, they come with larger numbers.
Instead of being behind in tech and using weaker units, they are ahead and have better units than you in the early going.
It is a bit nerve racking to be on a pan map and watch dozens of units wander around, while you have next to none.

Week 22, 1943
The Red Army Air Force begins to organize Penal Squadrons equipped with obsolete I-16 fighters that will absorb incoming losses as attacks are made against cities defended by their own fighter groups.
DD-74 spots 5 US subs off Gibraltar. They are sunk by sturmoviks based at the port. DD-74 continued to sail west and spotted 3 additional US subs. They are sunk by Pe-2s and Pe-8’s based west of Madrid. Advancing further west, 4 more subs are spotted by DD-74. More bombers are called in as the last pack of US subs are sent to the bottom. The final tally- 12 subs sunk as a result of the sub search by DD-74. Only 11 of these boats now remain in service in the US Navy.
In Africa, Mombassa is taken after 3 British infantry are killed. Bombers reduce a large group of Portugese infantry. Soviet Guards infantry are flown in by transport at Mombassa where 8 Portugese infantry are killed at the cost of a Guards and infantry unit.

Sea 1942 tech learned. Land 1943 tech in 12. That tech will allow construction of the improved T-34/85.
Week 25, 1943
A check of British military power shows the dockyards have been working overtime to replace the losses of Lion battleships. They have commissioned 9 new vessels over the last 3 weeks. Comrade Stalin has been convinced if the English are expending their resources on such lavish naval units, that the British Army must be lacking at home.
1st Marine Brigade is flown in by airplane to an airfield west of Dusseldorf. Boards transport at Rotterdam and is quickly deposited on the coast of Dover .
Armored troops are loaded aboard other transport at Rotterdam. DD-98 checks for sub activity in the channel, finds nothing.

Week 26, 1943
The largest air attack in history is launched against London. 80 air units, Pe-2s, Pe-8s and Sturmoviks smash the defenders. Air losses are relatively minor as 602nd and 603rd Punitive Squadron equipped with lesser quality fighter aircraft deliberately absorb initial losses.

Land 1943> Air 1943 in 8 turns. This tech provides mobile rockets (artillery) with a bombard of 25 / rate of fire 4. It can fire twice in the same turn, consuming both movement points. They will be identified in the Soviet inventory as Guards Mortar Battalions. Historically that is how Russian Katyusha truck-mounted rocket launchers were designated. They are a rather steep 600 shields. Also now available to the Red Army is the Su-76 self propelled anti-tank unit. (15-24-2). They will be equipping the infantry armies in the field, along with the Su-122 once development is complete with Air 1943. Finally, the latest main battle tank T-34/85 (32-20-2) is available. The Red Army now has a fighting vehicle similar to the British comet (35-26-2).

Very nice progress! 
I've noticed there are numerous airfields available. Did you planted them or have you conquered them? If you made them, why won't you use the cities as a base for you fighters and bombers?
And how big is the army of the USSR at the moment? As I see all these screenshots you must have vast amounts of of tanks, artillery and plains.

Week 38, 1943
Battles at Dakar weaken the garrison there.
2 US battleships and convoy are sunk northeast of Japan.
In South Africa, Pretoria comes under attack from 7th Guards Mechanized Corps of 1st Shock Army and the garrison there is defeated.
In French West Africa, Bamako offers little in the way of resistance as 4th Tank Corps, 2nd Shock Army rolls in.
Week 39, 1943
An artillery unit is destroyed, French Dakar falls.
2 tanks and a motor rifle unit killed at Walvis Bay. 4 infantry killed. 9th Tank Corps 1st Shock Army takes the city.
In Dublin, Ireland, 6th Heavy Tank Corps pushes into the city, forcing its surrender.
The Red Army Air Force begins a major effort against British seapower. The goal is nothing less than the total destruction of the Royal Navy in waters off the European mainland. 4 Pe-8s, 1 Pe-2 and a Yak-1 are lost off Lisbon. 4 KGVs, 2 carriers, Arthusa light cruiser and destroyer are sunk off Lisbon.
6 bombers are lost off Nouakchott, Africa, but 3 American battleships are reported damaged. 2 US subs off Gibraltar are also sunk.
Week 40, 1943
The continuing air assault on the British fleet off Lisbon continues, resulting in the loss of 21 Russian aircraft and 2 destroyers. The targeted British force consisted of 4 Lions, 6 KGV battleships, 5 carriers, and 5 destroyers. 1 Lion and 4 KGVs are sunk.
The US is not spared as 3 aircraft are lost but surviving forces claim the sinking of the 3 previously-damaged battleships and carrier off Nouakchott
Week 41, 1943
The air/sea battle rages off Lisbon for a third week as the the Royal Navy is now targeted by multiple air armies. In one engagement, 2 Pe-2s are lost, while sinking 3 damaged British battleships, 2 carriers and 2 destroyers
A second attack group is sent in, and 3 more bombers are lost while sinking 2 more damaged battleships, 3 carriers, and 3 destroyers
Yet another wave of aircraft were sent in. This time, 11 sturmoviks crash into the ocean, but 3 more British battleships and transport are sent to the bottom. The goal has been accomplished. From now on, British naval power will have to sortie from the Canadian waters. Their Atlantic Fleet is no more.
In the Pacific, in a smaller action, a British BB and convoy are sunk off Batavia.
Kimberley falls to 31st Tank Corps. Only Cape Town remains from what was Britain's colonial holdings in Africa.
Week 42, 1943
The US intelligence services worst fears are confirmed. Operation Olympia is now underway as Soviet landings take place on Iceland and Saint Johns Newfoundland. After four years, the war was now much closer to America.
