I can't imagine paratroops and fortresses adding anything worthwhile to the game, and I would absolutely hate random diplomacy. Slitherine should work on refining and balancing the core game rather than add superfluous "features" like the above. It's unfortunate that so many people here wo...

I agree that the Allies are overpowered, but disagree that the AI is very good. You wouldn't have done nearly so well against a human opponent.

The Axis get far too little oil.

I still think Poland is overpowered.

Can anyone tell me a reason why countries shouldn't join the war at the beginning of their own side's turn?

Manpower pools should be rebalanced to address the enormous Allied manpower glut. Partisans should also consume manpower.

I must add again that the two corps in Vichy Algeria should be replaced with garrisons. There should be more incentive to bring this area into play.

The Axis AI still refuses to defend the French coastal cities. What's the logic behind that?

Oh. I didn't think that organization counted.

When do the Soviets go yellow?

Will the ability to do this ever be added? I don't like it that the unit type changes after only one tech level, then its about five more levels until it changes again.

Is there any way to change what tech levels change the image of the unit?

This game, and in fact most games of this scale, are limited in their ability to represent the different quality and effectiveness between the units of different powers. There comes a point where you have to represent qualitative differences by size. If the design and doctrine of Soviet submarines w...

Germany should start with level 1 in Blitzkrieg, perhaps removing the level of Industry tech to compensate. It just seems more realistic to me.

It depends, will the game parameters be adjusted accordingly?

Great, but you might want to take a look at everyone else's manpower levels as well. The USSR also seems to high, and Germany perhaps too low.

Since it appears that the AI cheats heavily with extra resources and units even on neutral balance settings, I was wondering if there was a way to set it so that truly no side has special advantages.

I mean the same amount in total: e.g. Basic Game: ALLIED_TURNS_BETWEEN_CONVOYS 4 Turns (every 80 days) NORTH_ATLANTIC_CONVOY_SIZE 200 = 200 pts shipped over 80 days maximum. MID_ATLANTIC_CONVOY_SIZE 80 SOUTH_ATLANTIC_CONVOY_SIZE 40 Modded Game: ALLIED_TURNS_BETWEEN_CONVOYS 4 Turns (new time of ever...

They shouldn't be the same amount though, they should be three times that, in light of all other production being tripled.

jack_w wrote:Convoys take the same time (every 4 turns) so I have scaled down the maximum convoy sizes by a factor of 3.

Why? If you've tripled the costs of everything, and kept all other production the same, it doesn't make any sense to reduce convoys.
