Good answer Intenso :D

You'll always get people who just want to be negative, but I appreciate the work of everyone who contributes to this great game. You've tried something of epic proportions and made it work. Well done. I will play it one day and let you know how I get on (and send you my save files), but I don't know when as I think it will take a long time :shock: :wink:

Yes, I did not plan to do more than 999 units for one side :)

By the way, 999 is this limitation on the core?)

I do not know. But some other (Russian?) guys are developing a series of large scenarios, one of them with over 1700 units on a 618x362 map and they seem to enjoy it, so I guess it works. Maybe you can contact them and ask for their experiencies:

Yeah, guys do really huge scenario :)
But they use them only for playing multiplayer or even in a hot-seat.
By the way, they somehow wrote about a certain problem in multiplayer with big scenario. But I do not know the details.

Quite a long time ago, I tested the ability to link the scenario in a campaign with as many units as I have. Everything worked fine.
And since almost all of the Soviet units have already been deployed, there will not be much more.

Intenso82 wrote:In part I already wrote about the necessary units,
but here is a complete list of wanted units for today:

For Germany:
- Coastal observation post.
- Coastal battery, 150-170mm and/or 130mm captured guns, and maybe the coastal battery "Tirpitz" 240mm.
Bebro's IJA campaign has some nice coastal artillery + coastal observation and bunker icons. By making use of them I made a possible icon for the Tirpitz battery, which was built near Constanza, Romania:

And another for Oscarsborg fortress, which sank the German heavy cruiser Blücher near Oslo during the invasion of Norway:

However, I think the latter is not really suited for the eastern front use... but still, there is a nice video on youtube which shows that famous event and the mighty power of these coastal guns:

Thank you. Good looking.

The Germans had a large number of different heavy coastal batteries.
By the way, as we discussed earlier, about the German defense in MP BE mod.
You can add some of these batteries to the transport mode. But not very fast.
The Germans many times moved similar batteries.
And to Leningrad, and to Norway and France, etc.
This will help make defence against sea assaults more unpredictable and at the same time more mobile.
Players can act more flexibly.

You probably know that, for example, the lifetime of tank brigades in the Great Patriotic War, there was no more than 4-7 days of active hostilities.
Further they were withdrawn to the rear for reorganization.
Therefore, many units are needed. This provides a more plausible course of military action.

In general, this refers to the multiplayer BE version .. lol :))
But I always like when players have more flexibility in their actions.

Version KV-1 1942 year.
Thanks Wolfram1951 for modifying the icon.
Now it will be possible to better distinguish KV tanks of different years of production.

Good news! RAW mod was awarded among the mods for 2017 to the games Slitherine. It was unexpected for me. :)
Thank you ALL for your interest to this mod!

- In the next testplay, I plan to turn on the option - "RangeAttackPenalty".
In which the indirect attack strength decreases with range.
The Soviets have a lot of artillery and would like to reduce its effectiveness when attacking long distances.
After all, it is known that indirect fire at squares was often used, which was not very effective without correction firing.
In contrast, German artillery will be slightly reinforced. Nevertheless, it will still be less numerous and AI will not take much care of its safety.

- Work on the mod has slowed down. But it takes time to comprehend a lot of information.
To study and calculate the time when naval units appeared for Germans.
And also come up with interesting gameplay (events, missions (operations) and so on).

- Also the most hardpoint is the expansion of the scenario lenght. In which the Axis must go to the defense.
After all, PZC has only a tactical AI. And creating a strategic AI is a completely different task.
Of course, having access to the sourcecode, can try to find a side way by increasing the AI zones.
And programming the required number of triggers.
The other way is yet non visible.

- I've been shared a link to Puma excellent work http://streitmacht.com/viewtopic.php?f= ... 40#p196583
There are a number of icons of small ships for the Kriegsmarine, which can be used in mod.

Happy New Year!

Congratulations, Intenso. That's quite an honor, especially with so many good mods out there.

It sounds like you have some ambitious ideas so I wish you good luck in this New Year. :)

After a winter's hibernation,
i continue work on the mod.
But in a more relaxed mode. :wink:

In the next version I plan to add a new type of terrain - Floes.
And water hexes in the winter will look like this:

Image

Also in the future, frozen hexes will have their own limitations for each type of movement.

Hello Intenso, and welcome back!

Very nice idea about different types of "frozen sea hexes"!

Also, you may want to check "my" thread, where I recently uploaded a "Shallow & Frozen Sea Hexes" mod, in which I used your polynya and icebergs hexes. This mod add the possibility of adding different types of moves for naval units (deep, shallow sea and river/coastal), which Yrfin already did, by the way. Perhaps you will like to integrate both mod in one, better and bigger one.

Greetings!

Yes, it is interesting.
I'll see. Screenshot reminded me of the Pacific Theater.

I use the name deep sea, but at the Russian-German naval theater,
actions were often at depths of 30-50 meters.
Except to the central-southern part of the Black Sea and actions in the Murmansk region in the north.
Therefore, in order not to create even more types of terrain, I plan to use the deep sea, as not freeze water hex. A shallow water as a freezing water hex.

Also I did not find how to connect the new terrain with the default terrain tiles when the tiles are automatically generated on the map.

I did some research in the armored trains of the Red Army, it seems now I have a clearer view of this. But I need your help with the icons :)

I hope with New Type of Terrain (Flou ?) Intenso Mod will be a much quicker :)
Maybe 15 minutes on Turn :)

Back to the Naval warfare theme

Image

Some ships will now have several combat modes.
For example, battleship will have 3 modes:
-Naval battle.
Standard mode. In this mode AA and Ground attack in passive state.
-Bombardment.
Bombardment of ground units. Accordingly, the other two attacks against ships and aircraft also in a passive state.
A defensive fire for ground units is available.If the ship is next to them.
-Air defence cover.
Attack of air targets with range = 1 is available. The mode of naval attack and ground attack in a passive state.
A air defensive fire is available when enemy air attacking nearby units.

Such modes will also allow to change the attack range for example in sea battles and when attacking ground units.

Cruiser will have only two modes Naval Battle and Bombardment.

About other additions and new modes later... :)

PS. If someone can help draw other units badge, I'll be happy :)
