[Tigranes]

No downloads are available so far?

 

[DEathgod65]

Still working on it, download will be ready soon!

 

[rhettrongun]

The map looks fantastic. I attempted to do something similar a while back, but ended up having to heavily distort a few parts.

Good Luck!

 

[Tigranes]

Which version should we merge this to? v.38 or v.39?

 

[Tigranes]

There are no wars declared from the get go, because game assumes its still 1936, perhaps?

Also, one can build tons of units with the same name, i. e. 10+ different units all named Light Tank

 

[DEathgod65]

Fixed the download, the units build list SHOULD be fixed now, not sure what was causing it before. Just replace the whole v.39 file with the download now.

Also Declaration of War should start on March 30th, to represent the Phoney War, where no real military operations were carried out by either side until Operation Weserubung.

 

[Tigranes]

Yes! Build lists look good now.

I generally fear that it is a bad idea to have no Workers in the war which relied on POW labor and home front labor so much. Aviation need to have ability to pillage industrial backbone and workers need to be around to develop things and repair things... I have no idea why the whole improvement mechanics needed to be sacrificed?

 

[DEathgod65]

Manufactories can be pillaged by bombers, you just need to repeatedly bomb the same city and it's surrounding tiles will be pillaged and I think they will be repaired in a few turns if the city stops getting bombed.

 

[ZeroZeroSix]

Good work, no crash so far, France havent fall yet(March 41). I notice some mispelling in the Canadian cities, its a strange country with alien languadge

Ivujavik is spelled Ivugivik but since I am not a native I couldnt be sure.

Sept-Lles is spelled Sept-Iles, of that I am sure.

Fredelloton is spelled Fredericton, also sure.

Hailfax is spelled Halifax, same.

Quebec City, just Quebec in enought

About France, its havent fallen yet but Vichy is already controled by Vichy player in march 1941.

 

[DEathgod65]

Canadian Cities will be changed soon, Vichy was a attempted workaround to the Fall of France crash which I forgot to remove, will be removed soon.

Also currently working on a Fall of France workaround, bypassing the Battle of France completely, but allowing allies to still liberate France.

 

[ZeroZeroSix]

The fall of France happened in my current games and for the first time it didn't crash on this scenario. I don't know what you did but it works.

 

[DEathgod65]

Really? Huh, weird. The Fall of France event doesn't work for me personally though.

 

[ZeroZeroSix]

Here is a save if you want to check it

I play as US and there is still no planes to put in carrier.

Sorry, the file exceed limit

 

[ZeroZeroSix]

Ok, i got it....

 

[DEathgod65]

American Carrier aircraft haven't been added to build lists yet, and I can't load you save file, it crashes my game for some reason

 

[ZeroZeroSix]

Sorry to hear that. This maybe pertinent, I have a dual core pentium with 6 gb memory.

Brave New World installed

The Java I have is java build 1.7.40-b43 from Oracle

The .NET I have are

2.0.50727
4.0.30319
3.0.30729.5420
3.5.30729.5420
4.5.50938
4.0.0.0

Also, when I instaled your mod I first installed v5 Data Files and v 39 in fresh directories. Then I Unziped your R.E.D. WWII Edition (v 39) NA Europe Release.rar over the v39.

I can start a new game to see if it still pass the event

Thats all I can think of.

 

[DEathgod65]

Well I don't know if Java affects the scripted but if possible could you screenshot what the Fall of France event looks like? Kinda curious to see what it looks like ingame

 

[ZeroZeroSix]

Here is a screenshoot of the game I played as USA. I did an other as France and the Fall of France event worked as well.

This is exciting that someone decided to tackle this map - i have long emphasized how the 1939 map missed hte entire component of The Battle for the North Atlantic and the need to not commit everything into taking russia. I have a couple concerns, however (especially before i back up and replace with this my existing files):

Is the convoy resupply thing still bugged? In the 1936 map, there was a horrible bug with the convos. It was overcome with some user-side modding, but i cannot remember how it was accomplished (there is a thread about it from maybe a year or two ago).

How much breathing room was Russia really have? With most of their cities in west, how much late production do they really have? The strength of the 1939-1945 map is that Russia's vastness is truly a feat to take properly, and you need to commit a ton of resources to advance even to the historical highwater mark. However on this map, Stalingrad is the end of the line. I know it was screw with the coding of all of the cities and unit placements, but if the map could be expanded eastward just a little more, it'd be really helpful.
