Overlords...The New Campaign!

[Prof. Garfield]

I played a first turn and maybe found a bug.
In the Mediterranean Sea the Allied attacked a German Freighter with trade units in it. After destroying the Freighter, the trade units didn't disappear with the vessel, so the AI attacked them too with the naval units.
I checked the rules file but didn't find anything wrong as the trade units are marked as ground units. I'm wondering why this happened.

The Trade Trucks haven't been set to be 'carriedBy' the freighter. I'm guessing the 'no stack kills' TOTPP feature checks the 'carriedBy' field of land units to determine if they should be sunk with the freighter.

Putting

civ.getUnit(1562).carriedBy = civ.getUnit(1560)

into the console makes one of the 2 Trade Trucks get sunk with the ship.

The numbers used are the ID numbers of the units in question, which are displayed when the reveal map cheat is enabled.

I'm pretty sure this won't be an issue after the first turn, since a transport with space will 'carry' any units not being carried at sea.

Hello Curt,

I checked the rules file but didn't find anything wrong as the trade units are marked as ground units. I'm wondering why this happened.

Overlord had this happening with all sorts of units, but no-one bothered about it.
I think stranded units won't live long in the warzones, but will add it as a "maybe" fix.

Some units need specific improvements before building/training can begin...
I list the CanBuildSettings here, but also refer to the file in your "LuaRulesEvents" folder.
I'll eventually make a proper text file that lists requirements for all units...Any problems check here, or ask.

Hello Curt,

I played a first turn and maybe found a bug.
In the Mediterranean Sea the Allied attacked a German Freighter with trade units in it. After destroying the Freighter, the trade units didn't disappear with the vessel, so the AI attacked them too with the naval units.
I checked the rules file but didn't find anything wrong as the trade units are marked as ground units. I'm wondering why this happened.

As I recall I had a similar issue when I designed my Total War scenario a few years back. At the time, TNO confirmed that the reason my land units located in the same ocean tile as transports weren't being eliminated on the first turn was because since I had created both the land and transport units at the same time during the design stage that technically the land unit wasn't actually "loaded" onto the transport and that it would only be considered loaded once the transport actually moved.

As I remember, my work around at the time, was simply to move any naval transport at least one tile during the set up stage so that it's land unit would "officially" be loaded (and if required I believe you can still reset the naval units full movement with the unit movement edit function in the cheat menu afterwards).

 

[civ2units]

It's not a real bug and of course it doesn't have any influence of the gameplay.
It just looked funny seeing that land units on open sea is attacked by naval units after the Freighter was sunk.

I will try to give you a first detailled feedback when I played more turns. It's fun playing your scenario and I'm curious if I can achieve the same goals like in my first playtest.

 

[CurtSibling]

@civ2units
Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time and making a playtest.

I'm in the mood for being treated rough, so I am going to play through as the Chinese Republic.

 

[civ2units]

Would you like to play a multiplayer game with me? You are controlling China, I'm Japan, so we are in a state of war and have to fight against eachother.
I'm a worse player, so you should have good chances to defeat me with China

 

[CurtSibling]

@civ2units
At this stage, I'd rather just use the playthrough to iron out potential bugs, etc.
But once the scenario is proven to not have any terrible problems, I'd maybe be up for an MP game.

That's fine for me.
I will try to give you a first feedback the next weekend.

I forgot to mention, there are money-boosts in this scenario, based on government "policies" the civs have or research. His enables science to be invested in, while not running out of gold.

Playing as the Chinese Republic, things are going well...

The Japanese are throwing all they can at us, and partisans are in mass production to hold the line.
The Soviets just bombed one of my cities, and happily, they also just went to war with Japan...Buying me some breathing room.

Germany has thrust south, the AI taking Athens in early 1941, on schedule, and the Brits and Soviets are moving into Iraq/Iran.

What happens next? Not sure...Any of the mega-invasion events could fire at any time...Meanwhile, China will begin
amassing a counter-attacking force...And make our move when Japan starts to weaken...IF they start to weaken!

 

[CurtSibling]

Some buildings have requirements...
I will make a proper guide soon, but until then, please refer here:

Spoiler City Improvement Requirements... :

--INDUSTRY IMPROVEMENTS
--Shipyards can be built in cities with Local Industry and Docks
improvementBuild[object.iShipyard.id] = {someImprovements={object.iLocalIndustry,object.iDocks},numberOfImprovements=2}

--Military Factories can be built in cities with Local Industry and a Rail Station
improvementBuild[object.iMilitaryFactory.id] = {someImprovements={object.iLocalIndustry,object.iRailStation},numberOfImprovements=2}

improvementBuild[object.iNavalBase.id] = {someImprovements={object.iBarracks,object.iDocks},numberOfImprovements=2}

--Airbases can be built in cities with a Barracks and Officer Academy
improvementBuild[object.iAirbase.id] = {someImprovements={object.iBarracks,object.iOfficerAcademy},numberOfImprovements=2}

--Financial Districts can only be built in cities at size 10 with Warehouses and a Freight Depot
improvementBuild[object.iFinancialDistrict.id] = {someImprovements={object.iWarehouses,object.iFreightDepot},numberOfImprovements=2,minimumPopulation=10}

--DEFENCE IMPROVEMENTS

Spotting a few messages in "Game.txt" and "Rules.txt" that need edits.
No major problems as yet, although no big attacks have launched.
Might edit the stats to make the attack techs more attractive to AI.

After about 20 turns, Japan offered a peace treaty. Which is maybe realistic,
but not entirely against the idea of turning all negotiations off in this scenario.

There is no real reason for anyone to make treaties, as the scenario is about
total conquest and takeover...So I might make it so no-one can open talks...

Opinions welcome...!

I'm now in August 1941 and conquered Pantow. A lot of Chinese hardware and troops are destroyed, at least those on the front line.
Now I'm planning to conquer the cities in Chinas mainland. Stalin too seeing China as a real threat and invaded the Mongolia, good guy.

Germany managed to conquer the Balkan, Greece and Crete, while the Allies and Soviets divided Iran.

Meanwhile, the US invaded Marocco. Could it be the start of liberating North Africa from Nazi terrorism?

 

[civ2units]

I would deactivate negotiations as it is a war scenario. Historical the Allies also never talked with the Axis and Japan. And the alliance between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union was a very fragile one.

 

[CurtSibling]

I hear ya - I have decided that China being able to talk to the Soviets was the only speech really happening, and does not need to.

 

[CurtSibling]

Made some adjustments to the tech settings, and on my new play-through, the Germans launched Barbarossa right on schedule!

And even better, the Lua events supporting the invasion enabled to the Germans to strike as soon as the units spawned, like a true surprise attack! This is what I have been striving for!

I can only thank @Prof. Garfield and @JPetroski for helping me achieve this little holy grail...

Now I shall see how the attack progresses...It bodes well for when I make the versions of this scenario,
tailored to each civ - As I can now make sure the AI can unleash some very challenging attacks...

 

[CurtSibling]

Currently adjusting the tech development to make sure the Allies and Axis AIs develop the proper techs at the right era...No B-29s turning up in Jan 1942!

I'll post the new files soon, but here are the "Rules" to start with...Only a reload required...

 

[CurtSibling]

Just noticed a blunder in the events, due to some unit renaming during development. The Red Army Assault troops were renamed Shock Troops, and the Assault name given to Japanese naval attackers.

I forgot to change that in events, so some USSR events might spawn IJN soliders...Which is not ideal!

This legacyevents file will fix things!
Just drop the text file into the LuaTriggerEvents folder...
