Those are some good pointers.

Thanks, chaps!

Yep, I am working to make the balance of civvie and military choices a tough one to play.

PS
Here are the completed icons.

quote: Originally posted by Boco Give one terrain a huge mining bonus. Make mining that terrain a lengthy process. Factories and plants built in cities containing such a mined terrain can churn out high-shield units. Then make virtually every buildable unit but perhaps landwehr/territorials very expensive. The high-shield cities can build them but others can't, even with factories and such. This will allow you to set up industrial regions for each civ. Of course you can rush-build, but if you set up your economic model well (one aspect is expensive maintenance of important improvements), funds for rush-building units should be hard to come by.

That certainly is an effective strategy. However, it does make sending units out on suicide pillaging missions extreamly profitable, so if you use it, place all the mined squares in safe positons, and don't include paratropers or ignore ZOC units.

Curt,

The Deploy Machine is my new project, but I don't want to hijack this thread. I'll post a new one in a few hours

Worry not, rmsharpe!

I'm working on the tech tree as we speak!

Icons, and city graphics now complete, soon rules will be done too.

Graphically, things are looking good, and the balance will mean a fun warfare and imperial-power-mongering scenario!

Just had some full-length animations to do for university, featuring modelled WW2-era war machines, of course!

Here's a screenie of the madness!

Did I ever mention Curt that I think your tech tree's are the most imaginative that I've ever seen? Looks like it will just as good this time around.

Um, why?

'Waltzing Matilda' is a song about a guy who kills himself to avoid being arrested by the police for stealing a sheep. While WW1 was about as sensible as that kind of behavior, it doesn't make the song appropriate IMO (nor is it a good choice for a national anthem, despite what an astonishingly large percentage of Australians think ).

Hehe, I thought the troops during ww1 sang that song a lot. And I have another song in mind by the dubliners . They have a song called waltzing matilda. It is an anti war song were they sing about australian soldiers during the galipolli battle in ww1. I find it a neat title song in this context.

Sadly, Aussies contributed much more (several divisions) than the Irish (poor quality rebels, and 1 brigade to the British army)

I agree with our_man on colonial wars.

I'd also like to see more variation in infantry instead of so many airplanes(its WW1 afterall).

Btw fairline, don't you agree that the germans look a bit too similar to WW2 ones? Imo that little thing on their helmet should be focused on.

I for one love the airplanes that Curts included, they add to the sense that the old era of warfare is comming to an end. And now commanders must worry about fighting for controll of the skies......

Considering also it isn't just WWI, it's the period after that as well. Personally, I'd have even more armored units in there since it isn't really a WWI scenario, right?

I've seen figures showing that hundreds of thousands of Irishmen joined up/were conscripted. As Ireland was part of Britain at the time, the Irish soldiers would have served in British Divisions. There were a few 'Irish' divisions in the British Army (many British divisions were theoretically manned by people from particular regions), and I've never seen anything which sugests that these formations were particularly poor.

'It's a long way to Tipperary' gets my vote as the most appropriate song - it was hugely popular with soldiers from all nations (and is still a rather good song IMO )

You mean Tipperary is an actual place?

All this time i thought it some fictional town or something.

Third row, first icon. I think it is rather inapropiate for an era where strategic bombings never occured, wouldn't you say?

If you mean the helmet with the spike (the Pickelhaub (SP)) - they only wore that at the start of the war in 1914. The Germans adopted a steel helmet in 1915 from which the WW2 helmet was derived. The WW1 helmet was bigger, but of a similar shape.

It did occur: Zeppelins and later Gothas bombed London.
