best unit type balance

I have seen many players with a completely unbalanced unit type composition (too many battleships, too much artillery etc). So I would just like to get everybody's opinion on what the perfect unit balance is, that just feels natural. This is mine.


LAND

6 infantry
2 heavy infantry
2 engineer

Re: Shock stat?


How exactly does this stat work?

I know it affects Efficiency, but its value ranges from 10 to 25 (I think I've even seen 5, but never more than 25), so how does that number translate into the actual reduction of Efficiency?

For example, a strategic bomber with a Shock value of 25 is supposed to ...

Re: Why couldn't I spawn fighter aircraft at this airfield?


Could anyone explain why I could not spawn fighter aircraft at this airfield but could spawn reconnaissance aircraft there? Is it because the airfield has already allocated 9 supplies to maintain the 3 G3M bombers in the air, and the remaining 1 supply is not enough to get another 3-supply-costing ...

Re: classes.txt stats?



but these are classes. not individual units. Are you sure those numbers are those large ship/small ship etc stats? Because why would whole classes have those?

I assume that this is the order in which the types of variables are displayed, not the values of the variables


ah that makes sense ...

Re: classes.txt stats?



Hi guys, could someone tell me what each of the numbers under "stats" stands for? Many thanks


It's the actual "stats" of units and how they will be displayed in the bottom UI.

Ships have stats like "naval small/large attack/defense", ground troops "infantry/vehicle attack/defense" and air ...

Re: Quick Tournament 1

So since our first tournament was taking far too long, we decided to do another small, quick tournament only for players who can make at least 1 move per day on average. And here are the results!!!

Quick Tournament 1

FORMAT
- like Champions' League: Everybody plays everybody else twice


MAPS
- each player can choose one map or both players agree on one map together
- only the original maps, that have 15-20 turns and are 50/50 fully balanced (e.g. GI's vs Bersaglieri, Wake Island Assault, Operation Cobra etc ...

Re: Multiplayer map 1vs1 - Guadalcanal and New Georgia v.4.8

version 4.8

reduced the number of planes for the first 15 turns, just like I was done with ships previously. This is to create the opportunity for a nice landing and maybe a battle of Savo Island without too much inteference from planes

reduced the maximum number of fighters to 4. I.e. 8 planes ...

Re: I still love this game!


My favorite Campaign is the Japanese Rising Sun.
I feel like a player-made Campaign or a DLC (Pacific Domination) to follow-up the original game would be fascinating and enjoyable.
Suggested scenarios:
- MIdway Redux
- Aleutian Expanse
- Eastern Redoubt (Conquest of the Hawaiian Islands)

The Unit Navigator is amazing Dragos! Let us know how we can support it if you need that!
Yeah. Imagine if everybody pays once 5 USD or something, we can probably cover the expenses for 10-20 years

Re: hosted games appear in red??



If a game you have hosted appears in red, it seems there are 3 reasons for that.

If it's one of the original maps created by the developers, you need to make sure you have hosted the game with the gold star in the front. Not a silver star.
