Patine:
A few more suggestions:
1) In certain locations perhaps have oil in abundance (such as in the Dutch East Indies, etc). In addition to the gold the Jap player could obtain by capturing those cities, he can also gain oil (in the form of shields) to produce more units. If this oil resource is mined, it will yield even more shields...
2) In addition to the "oil" resource, you could also have "tin", "gold", "iron", etc... that would make it doubly attractive for the Jap player to secure certain areas...

Rubber as well..
They could also produce more trade rather than most shields, giving the japanese more money to buy stuff, and also making trade routes between those cities and the japanese mainland more lucrative in terms of trade per turn that the route gives. |
I agree.
Commodities such as rubber, tin, gold could yield more trade.
These areas would be worth fighting over and developing...
Of course, these would also be areas that the allies would be trying to re-take, to shut down the Japanese economy ...

I think that you can do it quite easily. Your scen will probably not need the glacier and tundra terrain slots. Use them for resources. You could have resource type terrains labelled oil or tin or whatever, producing any desired number of shields and trade arrows, that you can place around selected cities. There is no need to try to work with the CIV2 resource squares.
If you have to boost trade bonuses, check with Kobra as to how he does it in Blitzkrieg 36. Payoffs in the 3000 (non-demand) to 6000+ (demand) range are common when Asian (Japanese) freights arrive in New York (disarmed but deliberately left in hostile American hands). Your numbers would likely be quite a bit lower because both the home and delivery cities are Japanese and the Japanese will have discovered Flight.
In addition, you may be able have certain resource rich cities generate cash every month as long as Japan holds them. I know that Techumseh can do it in TOT, I don't know if it is possible in MGE.

I would suggest having a look at Harlan's Pacific scenario again. He has done the resource thing and has those graphics in his terrain1.gif as well as in Rules.txt.

This event is unesseary:
quote:
^Falling woefully easily to the superior Japanese Imperial Army,
^the Chinese forces begin to crumble upon themselves. When Peking,
^the capital, capitulates, it is all too expected, and Chiang Kai-
^shek was already moved his government to a wartime capital in
^Chungking, in the centre of the country. However, the Japanese are
^bolstered by the victory and prepare to move West into inland |
One of the many historical inaccuracies in Captain Nemo's 2194 Days of War scenario was that the Japanese captured Peking in the 1930s, years before Pearl Harbour.
This one is wrong:
quote:
^The Imperial Navy Marines catch the American possession of the
^Philipines unaware in their sudden attack. US Marines stationed
^there fall victim to the swift strike, and Manila, the territory's
^capital, falls to the Imperial war machine. The US military commander
^in charge of the island group's defense, General Douglas MacArthur,
^escapes from the island with a small force, vowing to return. A
^number of US prisoners of war are marched to death by Japanese forces
^on the Batai Peninsula. The Japanese High Command begin the process of
^fortifying the island chain, intent that MacArthur's arrogant boast
^will go unfulfilled. |
The Japanese Naval Infantry and US Marines played only a marginal role in the Philipines campaign, which was fought between US and Phillipino Army forces and the Japanese Army. Also, MacArthur only escaped with his personal staff, and not "a small force".
This is also incorrect:
quote:
^The battle for Malaysia goes better than expected for the Imperial
^Army. The Straits Volunteer Corps, positioned on the outskirts of
^Kuala Lampur, fall to the fierce Japanese onslaught. Poorly trained
^Malay troops are mowed down by Japanese soldiers and artillery.
^However, the Japanese intelligence indicates that a Chindit guerilla
^movement, and similar native militias, are being raised in preparation
^for further Japanese expansion into British Asian territory, as they
^see even England's decadent Raj as being preferable to Japan's harsh
^militarist rule. |
The Chindits were set up over 18 months after the fall of Malaya and were made up of conventional British and Indian infantry, and was not a guerilla force. The guerilla movement in Malaya and Burma was almost insignificant.
Furthermore, the Straits Volunter Force only fought in the defence of Singapore, where it was a small and essentially useless component of the island's defences. The battles of Malaya and Singapore were fought and lost by Indian, British and Australian units.
In regards to another event, the Dutch Queen was in exile in London, not Canada.

Well, now that this thread is back, I'll use it to track my progress. I noticed some very good suggestions on this thread I liked but forgot about while we were waiting for the restoration (notably trade resources, which I haven't yet altered). My CD-Rom drive is scheduled to be fixed on Tuesday, till then, there's a bit of work I can actually do.
Two things to ask the community, however:
-First, should I, when this scen is done, make a similar edition with the same units, techs, map, setup, and cities, and similar improvements and Wonders, but different events, so it can be played from the American point of view, or would that not be prudent?
-Second, could someone PLEASE make me a People.bmp file for WWII Japanese (I especially like your work on this field, Curt).

Here is the lightened units.bmp, which I have tried correcting with some of your units. If Patine and yourself could kindly take a look, and change whatever needs changing, we'd all be very grateful.
Whoever put it together has used MGE versions of the 25-pdr and Pack 75, and darkened versions of the rest (my fault I guess; I originally posted these as a png which led to the problem in the first place. Mind you, it had been replaced within a day....)
