Again, here is the OOB link: http://www.freeport-tech.com/WWII/index.htm

It shows three carriers active on Sept. 1, 1939: two at Scapa Flow (Scotland) and 1 at Alexandria (Egypt). One old reserve carrier (the Argus) at Portsmouth.

If we should chose to start a new one however... (something I'd rather like to avoid but with the pollution thing it seems plausible).

The 'fix' in the rules only lowers building upkeep costs, which wont solve the problem for you on turn 1. It should however, help you out in being able to set your finances better.

And Henrik brings up a good point. It is certain that shortly the map will become unplayable. Since everyone has had a 'turn' with which to familiarize and point out problems, should we start anew with the Hex-Edited gamefiles? I will need them of course form your Mr. Henrik.

I'm all for it, makes for more realistic fighting. But this is only on land, right?

	11-10-2002 23:01									#111
	Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I just have a question about this. As the stackables are invisible fortresses, won't they still give units a 50% defense bonus?

	12-10-2002 00:19									#112
	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Yes, only on land.... Though it is possible to use them in the ocean too, they will have the same effect. I learned that from a WWII scen (name escapes me) which used an ocean fortress to simulate Scappa Flow. But for that you need to manually change all ocean terrain to land, slap a fortress on it, and put it back to ocean. This will leave the fortress intact. Its a matter of clicks though, this would take thousands of them.

Darius, you simply make all of the terrain intended to have fortresses 50% less in defensive value, negating their effect.

The fortresses would probably only go onto grasslands and plains, leaving riverbeds, forests, hills, swamps, wooded hills and mountians alone.

How can you set defensive bonus down from 0?

From the Rules.txt:

quote: defense = multiply by 50% to get % of normal combat factor defended at. (so 3 x 50% = 150%, meaning a strength 2 unit defends at 3).

So an entry of (1) in the rules.txt--> 1x50%= unit defends at 50% of its value. Then + the 50% of the fortress, and you've got yer 100.

So am I, I'd like to point out though that +50% (fortress) on 50% of 1 (the terrain) doesn't equal 1 (but rather 0.75)

With other words you could also just adjust all of the defencive values for the units

	Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

Ooooh you're right. That why I went with a sociology degree as opposed to something thet required mathematics.

I dont think I will do any adjusting to the unit defense values as these fortresses will only be on grassland and plains. There will be plenty of other high defense-bonus terrains to place your critical units on.

Actually it makes for a nice check against what could be an overly-powerful technique of seiging cities, or preparing assaults from 1 tile away.

Either way, I'll go about adding the fortresses today, and get Henrik to do the math.

No kidding. I was considering making the ocean in AaA stackable as well, but decided against it when John Ellis (of Bonaparte fame) told me that doing so is the most boring thing in the world.
