Events

[Amnesia]

yesterday, I believed that I would become crazy !!
It took me a while to understand that there is 2 "war in europe" designed by 2 different people !!

One is great, passioning, big map, lot of events, every country in the war.. the one I want to improve, and it is called "war in europe ver3", in the COW pack, I have only this "ver3"..it has been designed by Gabriele, a spanish player I think..There is some names of city written in spanish..(I will send him an email)

And the one you were talking about, I tested it one time in the past, and stopped because french armies had totaly robbed my blitzkrieg in 1940..(maybe I am simply bad, but I hope Patton would confirm I am not that bad..;))

take a look on the maps :



Honnestly, if you had to choose, which one would you prefer to start a game ??

considering the events, the big one (ver3) has 480 events and the little one has 400 events. If we add the fact that the weapons are not the good one, and if I add that gabriele implanted the upgrades of the panzer divisions, I think I am doing a good thing in correcting a bit "war in europe ver3"..

Then I saw that I have in the pack "Europe Aflame 1939-1945", (I had forgoten this one), it seems much more serious than 39-45, the supply lines interactions between India and East Africa has been implemented, the map is bigger than 39-45, but still less great than "war in europe ver3", there is 490 events..So we can expect a similar accuracy than "war in europe ver3" with his 480 ones..

BUT : 2 major problems : the game had not been defined for 1 human axis VS CPU allied, only PBEM games..And the worst imo, the unit scale is korp scale, which is I think, rubbish for the accuracy of the battles..

EDIT : I am working on war in europe ver3, already corrected 4 bugs, and added some little personal adjustements I am properly reporting in a text file, give me 2 weeks to finish, and make 2 savestates at turn 30(west invasion ready) and turn 70 (barbarossa ready)

EDIT 2 : from my researches about the industrial production of the WWII, the nazi prod. did not massivaly increased from 39 to 41, but multiplied by 4 between 42 and 44..I know that if I set a multiplication by 4 on the Axis replacement, that will become too easy and will lose sense..Should I reset the whole list of replacements ?? This question is hard..Currently, the existing list of replacement seems to work fine, I mean, the difficulty looks logical..Because Axis starts the war with a huge reserve, and alllied with 0 in reserve..
I don't know what to do on this point..Maybe the best would be to trust the designer and do not touch anything about the replacements..

Code:

--------------------prod nazi :                    prod USSR/USA :
40 --> 42 =         12400 --> 24800 (+100%)        8000 --> 123100 (+1500%)
42 --> 43 =         24800 --> 44700 (+80%)         123100 --> 174800 (+42%)
43 --> 44 =         44700 --> 65300 (+46%)         174800 --> 183800 (+5%)

these values are the simple addition of the flights and tanks of the historical REAL productions.
now, curahee, I will let you analyse the list of replacement of war in europe ver 3[/code], and we will decide if we let as it is currently, or if we do massive changements..
