Overlord Scenario Playtest Thread

[civ2units]

There are battles in Europe, but no city conquering anymore. L'vov is the only city the AI conquered in the Soviet Union until now.

Turn 13

Lingling conquered.
Lost two Artillery units near Hong Kong, as the AI attacked them with a Fighter.

Turn 14

Things are going real interesting. A huge american navy group was sighted near the japanese islands. I lost two of my own battleships and one Destroyer. Luckily I had a chance to sunk one american battleship,
unfortunatelly there are four of them left. For some reason the AI doesn't know how to use the Carriers correct. It always sails without any aircrafts through the ocean.

This would be a great moment for Lua to give the carriers a much better performance in the game. Both sea- and land carriers.

civ2units it´s a pleasure to read your playtest-story.

Yep - I have events in store to ramp up the drama in Europe. Great playtest, I am taking note of all the info here.

Thanks Civinator
Currently the Carriers are not a real threat for me, but if LUA could teach the AI to use them in the right way, this would be great.

My casualties so far, only Navy units listed:
Submarine => 6 lost
Destroyer => 2 lost
Light Cruiser => 8 lost
AA Cruiser => 4 lost
Battleship => 2 lost

American casualties, only Navy units listed:
Submarine => 8 lost
Destroyer => 5 lost
Light Cruiser => 2 lost
AA Cruiser => 3 lost
Battleship => 4 lost

I would say, my navy is a little bit stronger than the american ones.

 

[civ2units]

Signed a peace treaty with the Neutral Alliance. They really think I betrayaled the Americans. No, no, their Navy was in my way.

Our Foreign minister still thinks that our military power is moderates and our reputation dishonorable.

Turn 14

I stopped the invasion of China, giving my army some rest until my Nothern army arrives in Peking. Maybe I have to change my plans.
The Americans are a lot more threat for me than the Brits. I should conquer the Philippines instead of Australia. Too much american Navy cruising in my waters

The Axis conquered Kishinev. And there are also heavy battles in Syria. Brits and Soviets tries to conquer Aleppo and Damascus.

March 1942
Turn 15

My Super battleship is ready for seabattles again. Time to sunk the other american battleships. I spotted the Carrier, it will be my first target.
The brave crew of a Type-97 Chi-Ha tank destroyed a chinese tank. Apart from that it´s really quiet at the Chinese front. Good for me, I can regroup my army.

 

[civ2units]

Oh, Neutral Alliance and Americans cancelled their alliance. And the leader of the Neutrals calls me a betrayer.

 

[civ2units]

Soviets conquered Warsaw and the Americans used their Carrier without any planes for attacking my Garrison in Chumphon.

 

[CurtSibling]

Interesting that the US cancelled the alliance with the neutrals...It is not meant to happen...I will investigate it.

April 1942
Turn 16

My Northern Army arrives Peking the next turn. I also destroyed two american Cruisers, unfortunately I can`t find the battleships.
Anyway, my Navy will be used for the siege of Hong Kong. It's time to rescue the people there from British tyranny.

 

[CurtSibling]

Also, I am happy to see the USA is keeping you under pressure, even without events help!

 

[CurtSibling]

Also, watch out for when the Allies get heavy bombers...The B-29 is a fearsome air weapon.

 

[civ2units]

Maybe the Neutral leader thought after signing the peacy treaty with me it´s time to attack the US. Actually I don´t know who of the both cancelled the Alliance.

Good to know. I´ve some Zeros left. Until now I only spotted one B17 Bomber. The AI mostly attacks me with the generic bomber unit. If you have an AA battery in the city, they are not a real threat.

 

[CurtSibling]

It is most interesting...I might make events to reflect what happens if the Allies attack the neutrals.
