Oh, now I see a counter error with the prim. objective: Showing 4/3 supply depots captured... but only on the victory screen... Strange...

Thank you for the feedback

Corrected, added the text to the Event Popup "Info: No Air Command Points available"

GabeKnight wrote: Sat Sep 15, 2018 1:05 pmGood battle, maybe a little too static for my taste. I always kind of expected some kind of counter-attacks when approaching or capturing the VP, but there were none.

The Italian Units are very passive, I think that it is due in not terrible statistics. It looks like they are afraid of American Units. It looks like they are afraid of American units
This passivity concerns especially the following Italian mobile units: Carro Armato M16/43 & Semovente da 90/53. I thought of changing their behavior(AI) at the certain moment: Capture VP , Turn ?
I have changed one AI for an infantry unit : Static->Local Defense.

remove link to units for the Concrete Bunkers and changed the text -> "Destroy the Italian Concrete Bunkers along the coast"


Other things would ask to test again the scenario but I do not too much have time at present

Noticed that, too. But they did attack eventually...I think. At least they defended themselves...

Yes, they should be... the Shermans went through them like a hot knife through butter....

As you know, you would include a trigger to evaluate whether the human has achieved his primary objective(s) at the end of the scenario and if not, the human fails and the AI achieves its primary objective instead. AI wins, human loses.

If you consider "Draw"(Outcome_2_2) as a "Defeat" for the human, it is not obligatory to have an AI primary objective. I did it in my scenario Agrigento and it works (I managed to lose during tests). The human player loses if he did not manage to achieve all the primary objectives :

I need a mini-mod for this scenario with new units :
- Romanian Infantry '42
- Romanian Mountaineers '42
- Romanian Cavalry
- Hungarian Infantry '42
- Alpini '42

List of the "new" units (done) :

- Romanian Infantry '42
- Romanian Mountaineers '42
- Romanian Cavalry '37-41 (not in this scenario)
- Romanian Cavalry '42
- Romanian Truck (not in this scenario)
- Alpini '42
- Bersaglieri '42
- Italian Cavalry '42
- Soviet Mountaineers '42
- Soviet Cavalry '42
- Hungarian Cavalry '42
- Hungarian Infantry '42

You will find all these units in the scenario (excepted both mentioned).

Op. München v1.00, lvl3 diff.
my suggestions/opinions:

- quite straightforward and too easy. On the other hand fast and spicy. I have too many arty units (halve them!) and could use some weak AT instead
- too many towns (with supply) without enemy garrisons. You should add some!
- there's even one prim. VP without a static garrison! and three AA guarding the other one.
- the Romanians could use more RP/turn than the Germans
- the AI went into under-supply quite early and easily. Intended?
- I guess unit deployment and RP/turn are WIP
- triggers on the winning side seem to work.
- No pics (Beta, I know.)
- the mod seems to work okay, no problems with the units so far
- played okay overall. Thanks!


EDIT:
Okay, Op. Saturn is a REAL beta version. The sec. obj. triggers don't work or the setup's wrong. Many missing garrisons. But the unit balance seems okay, maybe the enemy could use a bit more inf., but most certainly the player needs significantly more income. I don't think this is playable with 10/RP turn (added myself 1000 #warbonds after 3-4 turns). Steel's expensive. 30-40 RP/turn minimum. But then you could rebalance the enemy as well, giving them more units and/or experience.

This scenario is a conversion of a general 2 panzer scenario. In this first version I strictly respected the layout of the units that were in the original scenario. Some Russian units are very badly positioned making them very vulnerable, placing them better they will be more resistant.
Yes, there are two many romanian artillery units. I will remove half of it. Replacing some romanian artillery units with anti-tank guns is an idea I also had. Did you notice that I slightly changed the characteristics of the Romanian artillery unit ?

When I make a scenario, it is mechanical, at each location I systematically add supply (10 at least) and I adjust in a second step. I will reposition some Russian units in locations.

GabeKnight wrote: Sun Mar 17, 2019 1:37 pm - there's even one prim. VP without a static garrison! and three AA guarding the other one.

Yes, there is a primary objective without any unit. In the original game it was a Victory Objective that also as Supply point where the AI could buy units and place them there. Three AA units (four with the close airfield) are guarding Kishinev. Very strange (?) I’ll take them back on the whole map.

Romanians have cheap units that don’t cost much to repair but I go to see it.

No, I go to see it.

Yes.

I shall do it lastly.

GabeKnight wrote: Sun Mar 17, 2019 1:37 pm - the mod seems to work okay, no problems with the units so far

I have modified the cavalry move 6-> 8. I will add more romanians units in the next update (engineer, mountaineers, heavy infantry).

What secondary objective? Airfields or Hungarian and Italian units ?

I will give more RP/turn and will see to reinforce the axis 1st line of defence.

You don't have to change the total amount. Maybe 7-13 or 7-15 would be more than enough.

If I may offer some idea: I think you have too many mods flying around. How about making one "Mr.T" mod (Forgotten Units or...) and then base all your scens/campaigns on it? Or is that not practical with scenario design? I mean, you've already done countless infantry variations with your Forgotten Units mod, but you change the unit roster with every new update and every new mod completely. It seems to me like you're starting the work on every mod from scratch.

With my mod, I don't plan to *ever* remove or change the existing, already included units in the future updates. Refining - yes, of course. Adding more units, yes. But why should I do all the work over and over again, like cavalry units, additional infantry and so on? If I don't need a unit anymore, simply tag it as "noeditor, nopurchase".

Both. I think the "airfield" objective only checked green after the Hungarian army was defeated, not before.
But all the counters work okay, the Italian army obj. works okay.

PS: Completely forgot: The new turn-end soundeffect "Sounds\UI\Turn" was hilarious! I'm definitely keeping it for my mod, too. It makes me chuckle every time

Just checked, and it's exactly as I thought:

Thank you, classic error, I deleted a secondary objective and this shifted the remaining secondary objectives.
Will be corrected in the next update.
