Several bugs/possibly unintended issues: All Schutzen have 12 strength EXCEPT SS and PD schutzen. I assume those should be 12 too, while special infantry are all 10 strength. The SS 8.8 cm guns' ranges are messed up. The generic one has 3 range on AA and 2 range on artillery mode, while the 1SS one ...

Library event entries only go up to turn 20 (except for the scripted upgrades). It was already a pain to manually search for, copy and edit each entry. I'm also still not sure about the right way to order and present them, or how much time I should invest into that (it will be a pain to keep even t...

Yeah my issue was that I used 100% prestige so had to restart regardless (and cheat my unit histories into play). Messages add to library are nice. However, there seems to be only a partial, possibly due to entry maximum size, FYI.

Oh, nice. Good thing I was just about to start some activities tonight!

I'm not sure how much the Atlantic war can be tied to the prestige. Since ships are so expensive, it might become a runaway effect. Players with normal prestige settings might have enough to actually win the battle of the Atlantic, earning even more prestige. While players with harsh prestige setti...

Glad you enjoyed it! To spoil it a bit, air is becoming a little too impossible to handle starting around turn 50. I think there is some twiddling with strategy to make it workable, but seriously considering a restart to test the new patch and Atlantic war. Similar to before, less about grinding th...

I highly appreciate the project as well. IMHO there is a great foundation; if the actual gameplay/scenarios could be improved that would go leaps and bounds beyond adding 0.1% more units.

Took a small break, back into it now with Torch landings.

15 strength Nimrod is quite a beast. I noticed the absence of tank units in the pictures from previous turns. Especially Panzer IV chassis seems to be a rarity on the frontlines. Whoops, 15 air attack Nimrod :lol: I declined to upgrade any tanks to Pz IVs for the off-family cost (though I suppose I...

1. I'm not sure I can breech the Mareth line with no access by ships and with only 2-range Italian artillery. It seems like it would take up to 1944, and I'm sure the units could be put to better use elsewhere. 2. I was really curious why my unit baiting wasn't working so I looked for the SAS unit (...

ad 3: Sanctuary cites could be something like Minsk, Kiev and the whole Crimea? I would consider like the major Russian cities Novgorod, Pskov, Smolensk, Mogilev, Bryansk, etc. Perhaps all major victory hexes. Simply add a +1 strength trigger before the -1 strength trigger. Or honestly I would just...

I do not want to overdo it, especially at first. So perhaps +2 UK/US experience for no German naval unit on convoy routes, 0xp for 1 naval unit, but only -1xp for 2 naval units and so on up to -3xp for 4 German naval units on convoy routes. Lots of investment into the Western theaters! Yeah, not qu...

An idea to encourage the player to take part in the Battle of the Atlantic: How about all US & UK ground, air and naval units get 2 experience per turn, if no german naval unit is on a convoy route. No experience change, if one german naval unit is on the convoy routes. And -2 (-4/-6) experienc...

Yep, I'm very versed in kosher use of cheat codes (e.g., I gave my Sturmpanzer 2 ammo after action in the Minsk pocket ). Are there many more zones left? I would be happy to suggest some changes to spice up the game a bit...

When you return from WitE 2 for a 2nd attempt at BE + Locarnus Addon, let me know.
Then I'll publish the update I'm working on, to incorporate all the feedback from your first attempt.

I think I'll still play here in some capacity, just taking a break for a few days

Interesting thoughts! However, keep in mind that in FM, a tank with high attack hitting a unit with medium-low defense may get only 1-3 experience per shot. Hence if you start with only 1 star or drop to mid-1 star range, you will barely keep one star over the entire 99 turns based on number of tur...

FWIW, I've only played through vanilla BE 2.4 once, 3-4 years ago. I've never played add-on BE before. I'm partially worried that I won't be able to assess any changes made meaningfully if I'm hyperfocused on not actually playing a PzC-style game. For example, would not the most optimal play be to ...

I didn't retry the Do, will try again. I am thinking of a restart with to mitigate some frustrations. Mainly, it seems that I'm not playing the actual map as intended because of the massive handicaps, e.g., no navy replacements, unit replacements just aren't useable. I'm thinking the solution to in...

2342 prestige in turn 9 is quite comfortable, especially when avoiding that winter effect with expensive units anyway. Will you push for oil fields in 42 to deal with the fighter experience loss? Fighter experience loss?! Oh my. Like I said, I haven't played past turn 20 in a long time so am almost...
