WW2-Global

I just did a mini test and it works.
Just put an invisible unit in someones path and they declare war.
This has great potential.
I think this will turn out to be a very important breakthrough.
 
This year did not start well for me with regard to health.

Still its my intention to resume work with my projects later this year.
At that time I will also find time to answer all posters again.

I welcome more playtest-reports.
I will read them even if there not will be time to answer them now.

What is SST?

BTW SST is the name of the clan that I am leader of in Fight Back.
Special Strategies & Tactics.
 
Hello all,
Just found this place and really want to play this scenario.
I downloaded it and it seems that I am joining the ranks of the "missing file" reporters. Ive searched the forums for quite a bit and am sure I downloaded all the right things ect.
the file missing is some art/units/china/guerillaAttack(something i dont remember) .wav
I am playing on a mac. C3C.

A different scenario I downloaded (WW2 europe: fast and beautiful) works fine so I am wondering if there is a fix to this.

Has anybody actually got this working on a Mac (seems that there have been a few Mac users that couldnt get this to work).

Thank!

I've done very little modding, but if this works as you say, you could use Antarctica or the Arctic, put a barbarian settlement at one end, an invisible German unit at the other end, and an invisible, immobile Soviet unit at a choke point somewhere in the middle at the proper distance to trigger the Ger-USSR war at the appropriate time. (Or vice-versa, depending on which country the player is using.)

Do you think this would work?
 
hi Rochoceh i downloaded your scenario andd it looks awesome but it gets stuck at configuring scenario i don't know what to do

If your not getting a error message chances are it could be because of your computers processor or ram is to low to load your game quickly not knowing the specs on your computer if it is a low end computer it still should load the game but might take awhile to do so but once its loads and you save the game the load time will increase significently im not saying thats what you have but if thats the case be patient and it should load eventually then save the game and next time load time will be quicker. hope this helps.
 
WWII Global 2.4
Germany
Deity
AI Aggression one level above normal
House rule: Arty can only be utilised against Fortifications and no further production of these units.
Period: Week 1,1940 to Week 8 1943

Germany:
The influence of the Reich with its vassal states reach from the shores of England to Cape, Town, from Dakar to Singapore. Key to success has been technological and numerical superiority. The AI never really launched a decent counteroffensive either by land or sea. UK forces proffered the defensive posture (Mathilda IIs), Soviet forces never concentrated their forces in an adequate manner and also lacked the offensive capabilities.
The conquest of mother Russia consisted out of three separate wars.
1. from the initial situation to the outskirts of Leningrad, Moscow, Stalingrad, Sevastopol and a foothold on the Ural mountains (Chelyabinsk/Sverdlovsk).
2. From taking these fortified border towns all the way to Irkutsk (silk) by that time T-34s and KV-1/2 had been incorporated into the Red Army.
3. Recent renewed offensive to drive the remaining bolshevists into the sea
The conquest of British and French territory:
(Stage 1 had been the invasion on the British isles in 1940)
Once German forces had been freed up by the conclusion of the first drive into Russia, Turkey was chosen as the gateway to the Middle East taking advantage of the tobacco trade in the region.
Stage 2:
Jerusalem and the Iranian state were the first strategic goals (-> to separate India from Africa and reap the regions incense and dyes deposits) followed by the conquest of the North-African coast
Stage 3:
India and the African heartland were attacked simultaneously but India (Gems, Ivory) was given priority in terms of units and establishment of infrastructure. It was at a bridge near Kathmandu where Japanese and German troops finally met for the first time. A race for Saigon had begun, Japans infantry supported by the vast and powerful Japanese fleet came close but eventually German heavy armour units were the first to lower the French flag over Saigon.
In due course Sumatra and Java were reached by the Wehrmacht, while the Luftwaffe paved the way for a Japanese expansion on Borneo and the Philippines.
Progress in Africa had been slow but inexorable. The fighting in Africa served more as a training ground for the latest tanks which would eventually be used in an invasion of the Americas.
Invasion of the Americas
Preparation of “operation Poseidon” had been going on for some time, AA cruisers were used against weak enemy units in order to have some elite AA units for the convoys, numerous battleships and aircraft carriers were laid down but the eventual number of transport could have been slightly higher. Island, an airbase on Greenland and Saint Johns do serve as relay airbases. The capture of Saint Johns inflicted the loss of at lest !20! UK air units.

Japan
Japan managed to build up a fleet of 40 Yamatos and lots of “Type 97 Chi-Ha”s and held their ground on land and on sea pretty well against the UK and USA but ran out of land territory to expand to and successful amphibious invasions are rare on both US and Japans side.

Italy and other aux axis nations
They are stuck within their territory due to a chain of German security units. From time to time Italy sends out a lone transport, just to be sunk by US Airforce or navy units.

Great Britain
A very defensive AI only puts together occasional convoys consisting out of one or two Lion class vessels and a transport/convoy that are easily spotted by subs, in time for Kriegsmarine battleships to intercept them.

USA
Two wars ended with the complete annexation of Mexico. Like the UK “New Jersey class” battleships together with one or two convoys are being sent out to land in Europe. US heavy bombers attack West-Africa.
US military intelligence is working overtime repeatedly exposing my US spy network and sabotaging my Manhattan Project in Stuttgart (Haigerloch).

Soviet Union
Stavka is on its last legs being hard pressed by Japan and Germany, virtually no counterattacks due to a lack of offensive units.
 
now it loaded but im missing somtin it said like missing animation french infantry man i don't know what to do
Do you have a UK or US version of Civ3 C3C? If not, that might cause problems since some of the unit subfolders were translated into the language in question, thus the scenario is looking for folders under the "wrong" name.

House rule: Arty can only be utilised against Fortifications and no further production of these units.
Period: Week 09, 1943 to Week 24, 1943

Week 12
Finally the invasion of the Americas (operation Poseidon) is about to commence, battleships prepare the landing and SS infantry storm the shores south of New York followed by Jagdtpanters, Tigers and King tigers (Amerika Korps).

Week 13
After lighter than expected combat New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and Richmond had the honour to fly the German colours. By a daring “coup de main” the trade facilities in DC were taken intact, greatly facilitating any further operations in the theatre.
Due to favourable geography the air defences were able to be concentrated in one single airport.
On Java a single Stug III defeated two UK Comets, other troops were in short supply since a single Japanese infantry unit is blocking the supply routes to Singapore (effectively making an invasion of Australia impossible)

Week 14
German troops dig in, in order to quell resistance but also to lick their wounds. US reaction has been slow and low scale so far.
The crucial Bombers have arrived from Europe (Ju488, Ju87 and Hs129)
An amphibious UK taskforce has surprised German high Command off Saint Johns.
With much fanfare Washington DC has been chosen as the secondary capital of the Reich.

Week 15
Hardly any action in the US

Week 16
A massive US thrust towards DC (about 40 tank Units) . After savage aerial combat Me 262s were able to establish local air superiority enabling the bombers to engage the enemy. The ensuing ground combat was fought with great tenacity on both sides. Since the terrain favoured the defender it was only the air force that tipped the balance to our favour. As a result the crack troops of the Amerika Korps now have to rest for refit, if US offensives continue in this way, German forces will be too few in number to hold their ground for a prolonged period of time.

Week 17
US forces did not take advantage of our temporary weakness, to the contrary they allowed our forces to regroup and fortify their positions. The Luftwaffe was able to deal with the few US forces in the region.
The threat of Saint Johns is no more but its air cover had to be abandoned for the time being.
About 20 US infantry units assemble in the outskirts of Richmond but do not attack the town.

Week 18
Saint Johns receives a tremendous pounding but fortunately not total losses.
A UK tank thrust on NY was foiled by the Luftwaffe

Week 19
US Infantry near Richmond were convinced to retreat.
US moves in some Flak units to successfully protect their advance

Week 20
The invasion fleet reached European soil, was joined by newly build transports and loaded up with troops, just to set sail for the Americas again.

Week 21
US resistance is ebbing away, high command considers the chances for an successful offensive of the Amerika Korps as rather good but Berlin put these plans on hold for the time being.
The Royal navy managed to claim their first real victory against the Kriegsmarine by sinking two Bismarck Class battleships in the Banda Sea.

Week 22
Berlin had meanwhile recognized the chance an offensive in the Americas offered and approved of offensive operations. As a direct result major bombardment of Boston reduced a good part of the town to rubble. The spearheading King Tigers broke enemy lines, so regular tigers were able to take Boston and Augusta.
The Soviet Union also lost Kichiga and Andyr to Wehrmacht group East.

Week 23
Low level fighting

Week 24
1st A-bomb had been produced in Stuttgart
The German eagle flies over Albany
German high command is very pleased to announce that with the capture of Petroavlovsk the Soviet Union ceases to exist.

I'm glad to hear you still have projects in the works as I always look forward to your releases.
 
March 1941
Report der Oberbefehlshaber der Wehrmacht
Events of the last year and a half

Within 2 weeks of the start of the Warm Poland was entirely in our hands, and the offensive in the west could begin. The Netherlands and Belgium were overthrown in less than 5 weeks, and shortly after Christmas 1939 Paris fell to our glorious Panzer divisions. By in another few months in 1940 France had been pushed off the continent. A short campaign in the Balkans gave us control of that region, all the way down to Athens, while Italian troops took Crete.
During the France campaign preparations for the invasion of the British Isles had already started, but the invasion was delayed for weeks, by bad decisions of some admirals, resulting in the loss of most submarines and several Heavy Cruisers. The admirals responsible were immediately executed and replaced. After several months of rebuilding and preparations, and a short shooting war with the Soviet Union, London was the first British city to fall, and also the hardest one to take, there were massive amounts of troops there, and it took several weeks. In the remaining cities resistance was not as bad, and it only took a month and a half to take the Main Land, another 3 weeks for Ireland. All the time operations were disturbed by aerial bombardments, which Hermann Goering was unable to prevent, after the main force of the Luftwaffe had been blown to bits in its hangars in London.

After several weeks of preparation, near the end of the summer of 1940, the destruction of communism, the great war against the Soviet Union, was initiated, and has not stopped yet. The first Soviet City to fall into our hands was Vilnius, followed by Brest-Litovsk, Lwow, and Liepaja. Soviet forces had been concentrated elsewhere, for unknown reasons. Losing the income from selling french spices to the Russians stung, but we were able to sell them to other trading partners for not much less. A short 1 week ceasefire was broken by the Soviet Union, when they attacked the Japanese again, and the war went on.
In the beginning of January 1941 the mass production of Panzer IVf2 had begun giving us the firepower needed to break through at Sevastapol and Odessa, in February after weeks and weeks of massive aerial and landbased bombardment. The Russian Airforce is no more, and the majority of its navy has been destroyed by the Bismarck Class Battleships Bismarck, Tirpitz and Luetzow, and numerous submarines, which now control the North Sea, the Arctic Sea, the Mediterranean and the entire Northatlantic.
Las week we took Moscow, and now control the entire European part of Russia up to St Petersburg ( we renamed it from Leningrad, no German city will bear that name!), including Chelyabinsk and Sverdlovsk. Our next goals are Stalingrad ( Wolgograd to be ), and the Caucasian cities, after we hope to negotiate peace, in order to start the subjugation of the Muslim countries, and repulsing the British and French from North Africa.
The Soviets have 13 T 34s left, 206 Soviet Infantry units, and 21 Mot Rifle Divisions. Their other forces are not worth mentioning.
During 1940 the Americans had sent several Battleships and Carriers which were intercepted and destroyed, albeit with great losses. Singl transports were destroyed instantly by submarines stationed near the American coast. The remaining French Submarines were just spotted off the Western coast of Africa, and several Type IX were assigned to seek them out and destroy them. The Bismarck destroyed what we believe was the last British battleship in the Western hemisphere, while surprising it near Tobruk. Mediterranean Islands are still under control of the British, and French, with a few Italian exceptions. We have not been paying enough attention to developments in the East, but Japan seems to be on the march, with American forces decreasing dramatically by the week, and new cities being captured weekly as well.

This is all a little confused, because it's been a few weeks since I started. But I will try to keep up a little more frequently.
 
The scenario is great, i just need a little help:

i recently downloaded the South Dakota, North Carolina classes of BB's from the graphics section, and i posted them in the game file...but how do i get them to work? they don't even appear in civedit :( help! thanks

It is Week 31 1943 with 57% of the worlds surface and 79% of the overall population living in axis controlled territory I do call it quits.

US resistance has basically collapsed, 234 ground units had arrived from Europe as reinforcements and the same number just embarked for the US again.

Overall notes:
  • Production costs (2.4) increase had not been as profound as I expected.
  • The trade wonder in DC survived the German invasion unlike the ones in Toronto or Reykjavik. In earlier games (2.2 or 2.3) I had tried over and over again for the Wonder in DC to survive but was never successful. In contrast the Dutch trade wonders in Batavia and Padang always survived.
  • The cultural gap between Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur became something of a nuisance, two Japanese Infantry units blocked any supply towards Singapore. A small city might fill this gap but then again cities are in short supply ;)
  • Perhaps using airforces and arty only defensively might help to make it more of a challenge (fortresses being the exeption)

All the best
 
Well done Baldurslayer. :)

I've played a bit over a year and a half of this version with a houserule that tanks, bombers, fighters, artillery, and mechanized infantry can only be built in one city each. Quite interesting, so say the least. Definitely more of a challenge on offense (what with very limited numbers of fast attackers and bombardment weapons), but a bit easier on defense (having several hundred infantry divisions forming a continuous defensive line on your front eliminates pesky raids on your workers, and ensures that you will almost never lose a city).

I've been keeping my notes on notepad on a comp that isn't connected to the internet, so I can't give my report yet. Perhaps next weekend.

Roco, I know you're not around, but I hope you enjoy reading the results of this experiment. They are not, so far, what I had expected when I first started out on it.
