Hunterkiller, it´s always great if we get a new ambitious WW2 scenario.

I want to help you with this post, as you have uploaded a working scenario, so you have "hidden" all your information about your work in this thread.
So here is the link to your download link : https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/ww2-westeurope-1940-1945.26346/

And here are your screenshots about your scenario, hidden in your download post:

I haven´t played your scenario yet, but it looks interesting, so the building messages (of axis and allied special buildings) for the minor civs at the start of your scenario are somewhat annoying and I do not think this is intended. Otherwise it seems to be a fresh view of a part of WW 2.

As this scenario is playable, I think the correct place for your work would be in the Civ 3 scenarios forum.

I notice the US President is listed as Theodore, not Franklin, Roosevelt.

 

[Hunterkiller]

Thank you Balthasar & Civinator for your help & feedback. I fixed all these mistakes in my scenario!

 

[Blake00]

As requested I've combined your separate scenario & units downloads together into one, recompressed it to shave off some more size, and uploaded to CFC. Have PM'd you the CFC download link to update your download page with. Remember to get rid of your old units download from this thread too or it will confuse people. Feel free to chuck me another PM when you need to upload a new version in the future mate.

Sigh... RIP Balthasar. He was a good man.

@4mopdai , this is the thread to report issues with this scenario. The "Report" button sends a message to the CFC staff, not the creator of the scenario. The staff can sometimes fix broken links, particularly if it's a non-working link to somewhere on civfanatics.com or civfanatics.net, but for issues with the scenario after it's downloaded, the forum thread is the proper place to post about it. Welcome to the forums!

The problem reported is:

Scenario doesn't work. The problem is with Sound Files\BritishBomber\Build.flc

I wonder if the updated link mentioned by Blake00 ever got posted? Going by the History tab in the Downloads Database my guess is it didn't. So maybe there's already a version that fixes that issue?

 

[Blake00]

Hmm that's weird.. I gave @Hunterkiller the new CFC link weeks ago so he could update his download page, but I'm guessing he forgot.. should we step in and fix the download resource page ourselves @Quintillus ? Otherwise Hunter is still active though so perhaps he just needs this polite kick in the butt to change it himself.

lol okaaaay... that's interesting.. I was just about to post about recently chatting with @Hunterkiller about adding his latest fixes and updating the FTP download copy and then also fixing his download resource page links etc.. and judging by the above post which I did NOT make apparently the site auto posts resource updates to it's associated project thread now lol! Kinda cool although I had to temporarily take control of Hunters download to fix the download link and then give it back to him so the above project update was posted under my account instead of his.

Oh well I guess it's done the work for me.. as I was going to say "hey guys, new update" lol! Hunter has hopefully fixed the Sound Files\BritishBomber\Build.flc issue now. Also I've combined his separate units and scenario files into one download on his resource page here:

How do I get the biq to pick up the correct scenario file, rather than the standard Conquests defaults?

Edit Note: I figured it out.

The naval units combat value definitely need a lot of work. There were significant difference between each nations ships.

 

[timerover51]

Given the somewhat tense relationship of the WaffenSS and the German Army, is it possible for them to declare war on each other? I have not checked the scenario on this as yet.

 

[timerover51]

I am looking the scenario over, and I will be making some comments. Eventually, I will post a biq file with my changes.

First, Locked Alliances.

In May of 1940, Great Britain, including Canada, and France were in Alliance against Germany.
The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, and Switzerland were all neutral.
The United States was supporting Great Britain and France, but was neutral at the time.
Ireland and Switzerland never were involved in World War 2 as combatants.

Next, what does a Naval Mine do? Does it attack all naval units that enter the tile?

The United States started building the B-17 in 1935, and the B-24 was in the process of being sold to Great Britain. Realistically, the US should start with at least the Medium Bomber Tech and Naval Tactics. The US Navy at the time was the largest in the world, and rapidly becoming larger.

Are you requiring 20 cities to support one army for a specific reason? Given that, the US will support only ONE army for the entire game.

Thank you for your Feedback, Timerover51.

First, Locked Alliances.

In May of 1940, Great Britain, including Canada, and France were in Alliance against Germany.
The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, and Switzerland were all neutral.
The United States was supporting Great Britain and France, but was neutral at the time.
Ireland and Switzerland never were involved in World War 2 as combatants.

In this Scenario the USA almost always attacked and conquered neutral Ireland, that's why Ireland is Part of the Allies. The same Thing would happen if the Benelux-Countries would be neutral in this Scenario.

Switzerland is neutral, has a strong Defense and can't be attacked by the USA, because it's to far away.

The Behavior of the USA in this Scenario was a big Problem, they prefered to attack weak & neutral Countries and not the German Empire. I'm sorry.

If the USA is not Part of the Allies, they attack Canada, Great Britain, et cetera.

Next, what does a Naval Mine do? Does it attack all naval units that enter the tile?

The Naval Mine is a strong Defensive unit, without Movement. It blockades the Saint-Lawrence-River against german Warships / U-Boats and the North Sea against Allied Warships.

The United States started building the B-17 in 1935, and the B-24 was in the process of being sold to Great Britain. Realistically, the US should start with at least the Medium Bomber Tech and Naval Tactics. The US Navy at the time was the largest in the world, and rapidly becoming larger.

The USA starts weak in this Scenario, but they build up military Strength fast. I made this on Purpose, so that the USA can't stop the german Offense at the Start of the Scenario.

Are you requiring 20 cities to support one army for a specific reason? Given that, the US will support only ONE army for the entire game.

That's a good Point, I should lower the Number of Cities to support 1 Army to 10.

 

[timerover51]

I will just mod the scenario the way that seems fit to me, and not bother you any more then.
