Though I agree it is so minor only someone whining about losing too many games would pick up on it. If it takes no effort though it should be fixed.


It was my first time playing this map and the legend is poorly worded.

I could really give a flying truck if the mapmaker chooses to fix this or not because I don't intend to play it again, but perhaps he should make things clearer for future players playing it for the first time.

I was just playing a new map (WWII Poland) for the first time, and noticed that the written descriptions did not match up with the Map Inspector Icons.

For instance Soviet Union01 attacked by Polish control 02, Soviet Control 01, Semyon Timoshenko.

But the attack Icon only shows up on Semyon Timoshenko and not on the other two.

Maybe its just that map, haven't noticed it before.

It seems that when it comes to the Map Inspect icons that BOB displays, bombardment information overrides attack information. Because Soviet Union01 can bombard Polish Control 02 and Soviet Control 01, you don't see that they can attack in return. For the full story, you have to read the Map Inspect text.

I got stuck in this map when I was left with one territory Slovak Control 01 and it seems impossible to do anything theoretically to win/concoer any theritorry from this situation. Is this normal for this Map? when I have only 1 bombarding teritorry there is not anything to do from that point, but to bombard tanks and it is not possible to conquer any territory...
Please help if you know more.

It's possible on any map which has bombard only territories, it's a part of the gameplay which unfortunately sometimes results with people ending up in the situation you find yourself in. One of the main things on a map like this, is to make sure that you don't deploy/move all your armies on to 'bombard only' territs, that is where you can become stuck.

Thought the wording regarding airplanes and tanks was a bit confusing, cost me a few armies but I learned. Besides that, I think it is a good map. Nice dynamics, looks good, and strong theme. I had a fun time playing it.

Thanks for making it.

Amazing map. By far my favorite (and best) on CC. I was wondering, though, now with the XML update involving losing conditions, would it make sense to include the condition that if a player only holds planes they are eliminated? Its not a big deal (like I said, I love this map either way), but it would save a turn or two at the end of games. It would also prevent people who have no chance of winning from attacking other players randomly (or in retribution).

I know the map is quenched and in general I would be hesitant from changing anything on such a good map, but this seems to be the type of map that the new losing condition was made for.

This would also prevent holding players hostage.

Is BOB wrong on this map? It's showing as the territs you listed bombard the territs I listed.

Mine is showing it correctly, I think.
Though the graphic only shows that the planes can bombard them, I guess because it wouldn't be possible to have both the graphic of "can attack" and "bombarded by" on the same terit?

BOB gets confused with territories that can be attacked but that bombard back. I noticed it on Kings Court - perhaps the BOB chaps could add another indicator (perhaps in inverted L shape?)

When Germany invaded Poland the USA was neutral, and it would be two long years before the Americans entered the war leaving Great Britain to do it alone.

Great Britain lost its Empire to defend Europe while America became a super power. Also I seriously doubt Germany would have lost the war were it not for the USSR attacking it from the East after the Germans broke the pact.



hey Ruben....Great Britain lost its empire defending Europe??? Doubtful...UK lost its empire because they over extended themselves over centuries. How dare you infer that America won its superiority at the expense of UK's chivalrous and suicidal defense of an entire continent. The USA bailed Europe out of WWI during many bloody battles. USA wanted no more of their boys to die. We had little reason to enter a second war coming out of a drepression and WWI so recent in memory.

When attacked in the Pacific during WWII, America fought not only a two front war, but also in two hemispheres. USA gained its superiority not by the good fortune of the UK busying herself in battle, but by the hard work, dedication, and pure tenacity of its greatest generation.

WWII POLAND AIRCRAFT

Post by ShiningLion »

WWII POLAND is by far my favorite map but there is a major flaw concerning the lone aircraft.

If a player is reduced to only aircraft, it's impossible to win but you have the option to attack whoever you have an angst against, stir trouble or waste time by not taking your turn.

I suggest that if a player is reduced to only aircraft, said aircraft should be transformed to neutral.

Since we generally don't delete posts, I've MERGED the duplicate OPs. OP is welcome to delete one of them.

That said, this is a proper inquiry for the Foundry and Codierose has provided the link to that.

Can a mod with permissions in the Foundry, please merge this to the WWII Poland thread?

False.

You can win if there were nukes
You can win if it was Assassin
You can win if it is a team game
You can win if they deadbeat

THIS

with the addition if it is a teamgame with spoils and you are autokilled wouldnt code give the troops to next in line as well as spoils.. potential for abuse there..

just try not to piss people off and there wil be no problem as it is now ;)
