WW2-Global

hello everybody,

i´ve got a question.is it normal that some units, like the bismarck or hindenburg, have no sounds when they attack?i know that sometimes i the past (i mean early versions of ww2-global)they had an attack sound.sometimes:mischief: the sound was there and sometimes not.
does anybody know what kind of problem that is and how i can fix it?
i have the latest version of the civ3 patch installed.
thanks for any further suggestions

vericitas

Vericitas,

Thank you for reporting this problem.
I will look it over.

Wow! Looks like your scenario's goin strong still. I see a lot of new names over there. I was away for a long time due to exams and what not. Unfortunately I won't be playing for some time due to last year university studies. I liked this scenario and TGW a lot. I can't play Civ 4 on my comp because my video card can't support it. Can't get a new one cause my comp is a laptop. And I can't buy a new comp cause this one's only 2 1/2 years old. But I haven't been hearing too much about Civ 4 anyways. Looks like Civ3 was a much bigger hit. You think maybe people are getting a bit tired of civ in general? Who knows. I might just go for civ5 in the future instead of buying civ 4. I normally don't buy games till all the bugs are fixed and all the expansion packs are out anyways. Saves me a lot of frustration and anguish later. Not to mention money and trips to the store.


eaglefox,

Welcome back!

Its said that Civ 4 sells very well.

However if one compares activity at the Civ 3 scenarios section with
the Civ 4 scenarios section (at CFC) its 9-1 in favour of Civ 3!
I think it will remain so for a long time to come unless Firaxis
release an editor for Civ 4.

Week 34:
I took Vladivostok.
In Africa I had no problems with Mogadishu but Mombasa. There I lost 7 elite Pz III G panzer to the damned Matildas defending. That is a severe setback for future operations.

PC turn:
US convoy in the Pacific discovered: 3 US BB C2 and 2 TR.
New CV: von Hoeppner.
Also my yard got new orders: All existing contracts concerning Bismarck class BB were cancelled. Instead Hindenburg class BB were ordered.

Week 35:
The British front in Northern India collapsed: After the fall of Cherrapunji Dacca and Calcutta were taken. Also I decided to take Burma first before the Japanese do it. There I have a good base to attack Thailand and South East Asia and Australia.
In Africa Nouakchott and Dakar were attacked. The offensive of Dakar is a bit more complicated than I thought, nevertheless I think I can take the new French capital next turn. Nevertheless Nouakchott is mine.
A British 1941 DD was intercepted and sunk by T 15 off Nouakchott. 19 Uboats were lost to take out the three BBs and the US convoy. A hard work and since I don not have more Uboats in the Pacific, only ten now, it is a high price. But nevertheless this amphibious force is history.
The other 6 Uboats en route to Vladivostok spotted a British convoy of a KGV class BB and a TR. I doubt I can attack them next turn.

PC turn:
Nothing happened.

Week 35 part 1:
Dakar fell finally. BB Arminius sank a British KGV class BB off Ireland becoming elite- and only 3 hp left!

To be continued.

Rocoteh: They still haven't put out an editor for Civ 4??? That was the single biggest gripe people had with Civ 3! Can't believe they can't figure this out; the modding is what has kept Civ alive all these years.

Oh, and about the C.Chinese infantry wonder.... I don't think it is that big a deal. It's not like they are panzers or anything.:p It gives a little variety to the Japanese(or whoever takes it) force pool,and I don't see the harm, so why not leave it in? There had to be some Chinese that helped the Japanese, though armed units are probably a stretch. If you really think it's that bad you could monkey with the production rate perhaps, but I've yet to see a huge buildup when Japan has conquered it. 5-10 C.Chinese Infantry are not going to upset the game balance.

I was mistaken last report; it was week 23 when Rome fell. Also, the Axis AI signed a peace treaty with the Soviets the turn after I wrote that report, so the Panzers are rolling around France again with a vengeance. They went from 19 to 58 PzIIIe in about 6 turns, including losses. Virtually all of them are touring France now. :(

Needless to say, I've stalled in Italy just above Rome, though I did manage to auto-raze Tirana. The Italians are putting up resistance, though their offense is now crippled with no planes or tanks. I had the Italian border sealed up but I think I have to pull the troops off again; there are 27 panzers within attack range of Lyon. This is getting....ugly.

African buildup progresses nicely though. Algiers and two other North African cities are built all the way up and producing bombers and artillery for me. Mainland France is all out troop production of course. I've connected most of the African cities with roads, and I built the road between Persia and India that they neglected to do so my resources could reach Indochina. Saigon and Hanoi can now build everything, which I needed. I've poured a lot of $$ into building those two up.

I sailed my naval squadron all the way to Indochina only to have Japan bomb my BC out of existance after only a couple turns.:cry: Now all I have is 6 DD and 2 LC, though the subs I sent are almost there. I saw my first Yamato class...16 hp Elite!? Man, that is scary.

Soviets have built up almost a hundred T34/76. If Germany keeps ignoring them in favor of beating on me they are going to get a rude surprise one day. That first war the Soviets didn't have the T34 I am pretty sure.

US is not doing a whole lot, but not hurting either. UK this game has gone absolutely bonkers and built like 9 C3 CVs, 26 transports, and they are building C2 CA and DDs. That road I built from Persia is probably going to affect their Indian builds too.

I am still not certain if I can hold mainland France for the duration. The Germans have even attacked Strasbourg multiple times, to no avail. I can't stop their build up of troops though, and am only able to inflict minor losses. Truthfully, if the AI did not concern itself with casualties they could have crushed me by now, but it would have cost them a good bit. All I am able to do is shift troops around to discourage most of their attacks, and nibble at their heels. The UK has actually been a decent help this time, with lots of air attacks versus their ground troops in my territory, massive naval bombard of the channel ports, and several invasions as well. This UK AI is a genius compared to what I see from it usually.

Oh, the English Channel is a sight to see; there are over 70 capitol class ships in there for the UK alone, most of their CV3s, and the US is there as well. Just awesome.:blush:
 
Soviet Russia v. 2.2 Emperor

1941 Report

As we ended 1940 we were about to finish up Sweden to add to the SU after taking Afghanistan. We had managed to avoid war with either the Allies or the Axis during 1939-1940 which allowed massive industrialization and improvements.

We finished off the Swedes by week 2 of 1941. Our plan had been to take Persia and move West to Egypt while taking Norway. We spent time prepositioning a huge force in Afghanistan for the attack on Persia.

Week 9 we declared war on Persian and naturally all the Allies declared war on us. By week 15 we had taken all Persian cities and had cut the British in half. At week 19 we signed an ROP with Finland to allow prepositioning of more units in former Sweden to pick off Norway.

Week 21 we attacked Norway.

By week 23 we had taken all Egyptian British cities and everyhing in between. We had taken defensive positions against weak British Indian counterattacks.

Week 24 we accepted a peace overture from Britain as planned.
We moved to take out neutrals until Germany declared war(all going ahead of timetable!). Week 24 we attacked Greece. Britain would not leave our territory and declared war. Although we were not sending any reinforcements to the the Middle East we had more than enough units to continue so we left the local commanders on their own to move forward.

Week 25 - took last Norwegian cities. No move from Germany. Moving spare units to handle Finland when war comes.

Week 26 - Took last Greek city - no Axis response.

Week 27 - Declared war on Yugoslavia - why not?

Week 29 - Took last Slav city.

During this entire time period our units were continuing to advance West and South in Africa agains token resistance. Holding on Indian front.

Week 30 - We have run out of neutrals in Europe! We declare war on Germany!

NOTE - In addition to British air attacks against German sea mines which has always happened in past version I saw something new this time. British ships suicide attacks against mines. Well maybe not suicide since they do win eventually. I saw many a KGV go down. The really unusual thing is that the attacks continued even after there was a sea lane to go by! Never saw it before - a real waste of British resources.

Week 45 - We accept peace with Allies as we could use Allied air support against Germany. Also, we are running low on units in Africa and India (did start advance eventually). The entire northern half of Africa is red! Our units stopped after taking a line of cities in Africa - Timbutu, Mao, Agades, Mongala, Kampala, Mogadishu and of course everything in the North. In India we stopped after taking Lucknow, Jaipur and Nagpur and everthing East.

In Europe we have taken Poland - Copenhagena and Hamburg via landing in Denmark and a few other cities. German forces are clearly superior to ours but the our producton is vast.

We have avoided any attacks against Japan - hoping to keep them as a buffer against the Americans.

Week 48 - Titjo razed by Japanese! Obviously missed that attack group.

Week 49 - Link up at Rostock between our units from Scandavia and main attack.

Week 50 - Berlin is ours

Year end - We have Leipzig and Dresden and Munich and Venice. The end is near for the Germans and the Italians will be no problem.

We have 1780 units - of which 385 KV-1, 204 T-34/76 and our most important unit - 248 workers! We are just bringing on line the T-34/85 and the SU-76.

At this point there is no country except the US which could possibly counter us and we are confident that all of Asia, Africa and Europe will be ours in 1943. I am ending the playtest here.

NOTE - While strategy changed due to lack of "kill rockets" the neutral advantage of SR remains the greatest advantage.

I need to check out the new CIV 4 patch. Will return to playtest the US.
 
Sorry to post again so quickly, but something really wild has happened. :crazyeye:

Japan declared war on Soviets around week 38?, which saved my hide. The Germans were all over me and I was probably going to start losing mainland french cities within a couple turns. Well all the axis got involved, and the Soviets took their 120 or so T34/76s and proceeded to take Warsaw - Danzig - Stettin - Rostock - Hamburg - Bremen - Amsterdam - Rotterdam - Brussels. While the number is impressive, you need to look at the map to see what is so crazy about that; it's almost every German port! :eek: Only Namur stands between me and the Soviet lines. This is crazy! They went like a big red sickle and swept along the coast, going two cities per turn, at least.

I am at a loss as to what to do now. Germany is down to 15 or so panzers, and Soviets are up around 150 now. Germans still don't have the G model either. Soviets have recently taken Breslau, and Helsinki and Turku in Finland have fallen also. Soviets are just crushing them now. I am tied up trying to finish Switzerland and Italy, and build up enough strength to go on the offensive. I took Rimini, but am stalled in front of Bologna now. I am actually hoping Germany can hold out longer.:blush: Not what I expected at all!

Japan took back Okinawa and their mainland city that the US took, but lost Guam back to the US. Other then 14 Yamatos and about 18 or so bombers they are very weak, offensively speaking. Looks like Europe is going to be a Allied/Soviet battleground sooner then I thought....:(

I guess Britains forces in Africa will be limited though.

Japan have not achieved much so far.

Bob1475

That must be the best way to go early in the scenario when
one plays Soviet.

"We finished off the Swedes by week 2 of 1941. Our plan had been to take Persia and move West to Egypt while taking Norway. We spent time prepositioning a huge force in Afghanistan for the attack on Persia.

Bob1475

Not easy for Britain to find a place where it can launch an effective
counterstrike now!

"By week 23 we had taken all Egyptian British cities and everyhing in between. We had taken defensive positions against weak British Indian counterattacks.

Week 24 we accepted a peace overture from Britain as planned.

Very good positions.

Week 26 - Took last Greek city - no Axis response.

Week 27 - Declared war on Yugoslavia - why not?

Week 29 - Took last Slav city."
Bob1475

Passive play from Germany-AI. I will make a special AI-version later this
year for human Soviet play against Germany-AI.
Production-cost for all German units will be heavily reduced in this version.

"During this entire time period our units were continuing to advance West and South in Africa agains token resistance. Holding on Indian front.

Week 30 - We have run out of neutrals in Europe! We declare war on Germany!"
Bob1475

I guess you will finish it off rather fast.

Agree.
For sure AI is not to smart

Nothing much Britain can do stop your offensive it seems.

"In Europe we have taken Poland - Copenhagena and Hamburg via landing in Denmark and a few other cities. German forces are clearly superior to ours but the our producton is vast.

We have avoided any attacks against Japan - hoping to keep them as a buffer against the Americans."

I think that is a correct analyse.

I am looking forward to hear from that playtest.

"Rocoteh: They still haven't put out an editor for Civ 4??? That was the single biggest gripe people had with Civ 3! Can't believe they can't figure this out; the modding is what has kept Civ alive all these years."
Sasebo

Agree!
I think they underestimate the importance of an editor for Civ 4.

"Oh, and about the C.Chinese infantry wonder.... I don't think it is that big a deal. It's not like they are panzers or anything.

Thus there will be no changes.

France, Siod, week 30,1940

For sure not easy to deal with.

The large production of carriers is interesting.

"I am still not certain if I can hold mainland France for the duration. The Germans have even attacked Strasbourg multiple times, to no avail.

That is very positive!

"Oh, the English Channel is a sight to see; there are over 70 capitol class ships in there for the UK alone, most of their CV3s, and the US is there as well. Just awesome"
Sasebo

For sure an impressing force.

"Japan declared war on Soviets around week 38?, which saved my hide. The Germans were all over me and I was probably going to start losing mainland french cities within a couple turns.

Sasebo

I understand that. This playtest really moves in a new direction now.

"Japan took back Okinawa and their mainland city that the US took, but lost Guam back to the US. Other then 14 Yamatos and about 18 or so bombers they are very weak, offensively speaking. Looks like Europe is going to be a Allied/Soviet battleground sooner then I thought...."

Yes the war is not many turns away.

well i differ on this, the atrocities by the japanes in china during ww2 makes it highly unlikely to have chinese units. escpecially communists.
on a game level why have this single city produce "foreign" units and not have other citys do the same? seems like an oversight and not planned so i'm still in favor of removing the wonder.

Since I will be away (without computer) many days the coming months

All,

I was wondering at what resolution you guys are playing at. I'm running Civ3 at 1280 x 1024 on a 19 inch monitor. I wanted to upgrade to the dell 24" wide which is 1920 x 1200. My hope is that WW2-Global is playable at such a high rez. Are there limitations with scaling Civ3 up to this rez? Anyone have experience with this setup? I've got a 3.2Ghz with ATI x800 graphics card.

Thanks
no, the graphics in civ3 are really simple and that increase res wont hurt Civ3 that much... its all the AI instructions that hurt.

will allocate to continue the war against Italy.

Week 36 part 2:
BB Arminius sank British KGV off Ireland. Elite now. Also sunk two Soviet SC off Baffin island.
PC turn:
North off Hokkaido a British squadron of 2 KGV and a TR and a Soviet squadron of 1 BB C2 and a TR appeared. Also Peru is in war with Barzil!
4 new Hindenburg BB ready: Hindenburg, Ludendorff, Hoffmann, Stresemann.

Week 37:
Chagda fell. Soviets now have only seven small cities in East Asia. They should be no problem any more.
I declared war on Afghanistan and captured Herat and Kandahar. A guy called Osama bin Laden is not found there...
To be continued.

Week 38, 1939:
All Italian surface ships sunk except the Zara, which is retreating to Tripoli and one 1939 Destroyer; any other Italian ships are at harbor in Palermo, Rome, Naples or Cagliari. My forces enter Belgium; I lose 3 or so units fighting a large Germany army headed for the Ardennes. 4 1939 Destroyers reach the Trans-Atlantic Ridge; the Dunkerque, Strasbourg, Foch and Montclam also reach the Trans-Atlantic Ridge. 10-15 units lost in the seize of Bern; the 1st Motorized Infanry secures Bern.
Ivastion of Switzerland complete.
5th Motorized enters Germany via Switzerland with no resistence. Tonkin Infantry Division attacks Jap Infantry and wins near Canton.
At this moment it looked good for Allied Powers IMO.

AI:
Luftwaffe bombs Amsterdam, Strasobourg, & Chanel Blockade.
Germans sink my 1939 Destroyer near Bremen, as well as the British fleet there. Germans break first channel blockade. Germans lunch failed attack on my army in the Ardennes; I lose one unit. I lose my foothold in Germany near Friednburg. German Panzer breaks Belgin line. The Germans take Rotterdam, the RAF bombs Rotterdam in retaliation of the German capture. RAF bombs Cagliari, the Chinesse bomb Canton. Italian fleet almost Destroyed by British Royal Navy; the Royal Navy ignores a heavily damaged and easily sinkable Italian heavy Cruiser, the Zara which is retreating to Tripoli (stupid AI). British sink German Heavy Cruiser in Channel. Italians bomb Lyons. Zara reaches Tripoli. More Italian land forces move South; thus far Italy has lunched no land offense against me. Damascus starves. Civil Disorder breaks in Algeirs. Italy moves to Calvary near Marseilles. All of Poland save Warsaw under German Control. All of my med. fleet sunk save Lorrine (4/12), Bretagne (4/12), Provence (8/9) 4 Subs (1,1,4,4,), Camotte-Picyet and the Dupliex. Also I noticed that the USSR isn't at war with Finland; it should be since Finland was not at war with anyone but the USSR during WWII.

I have more to report later.

Italy 2.2 Emperor

I kind of screwed this game up badly. I sent a huge force of infantry to take Marseilles but it got destroyed by French Bombers and the RAF.

Then I lost all but 1 capital ship in a huge battle near Gibraltar. I'm pretty much screwed, so I'm just going to scrap this.

Germany 2.1 Emperor

I've been playing this game for awhile now and it's week 6 1941. I'm still trying to keep it as realistic as possible, but its so hard holding back a force just sitting there waiting to strike. I've also made some house rules for myself: No railroads, and only German cities can build Military units. All conquered cities are building Science impovements and Barracks, Airports, etc. After all neccessary impovs. are built than wealth is being built, which now lets me have 100% Science and still make a few gold each turn. (and of course the regular house rules of no city razing, etc)

At the outbreak of 1941 I launched the assault on Yugoslavia and Greece(close enough to history). Yugolsavia was destroyed in 2 weeks and same with mainland Greece. Week 4 I took Crete with an amphibious attack that came from Corsica. At the same time that this was happening, I invaded North Africa with a force that could easily take all North Africa and British and French Middle East without reinforcements.

My Kriegsmarine is growing at an acceptable rate: I have 7 Bismarks(3 or 4 on the way), 8 Gneisenau's(1 being built), 7 Deutschland Class( and 1 being built). Most of these ships are in the Med, waiting for the door to the east to be opened (Suez). Most of my subs are lurking of the American and Canadian East Coast, along with 4 Deutschland's and a Bismark. Although the Bismark is going back to port for repairs after the fight with a KGV.

I've conquered Norway and Sweden also, but gave the northern halves to Finland. And I also have a force of 4 Heavy Artillery, 10 German Inf. and 4 Panzer IIIG's getting ready to set sail to the far east, capturing a few small cities so my ships have port for repairs.

Japan has been doing pretty good this game but doing some weird things. They have 2 Heavy Cruisers in the North Altantic doing nothing. They razed Singapore, Kuala lampur, Urumtsi and Hong Kong.
Finland has captured Mashhad just recently and is probably going to take Esfahan, my spies tell me.

One suggestion: put a victory point in Okinawa to divert the US from Kochi and Kagoshima. Don't know if it will work but it might.

As I said before: Great Scenario
