Game 11211830

This game is played with fog. I hold L2 so I should be able to see and bombard FF2 but instead I only see a questionmark.

The above map bug is confirmed, FF2 is missing from the L2 bombardment list. Koontz can you fix it?

P.s. Thanks to Andy for posting here the report.

mmm...sorry for the double post, but as you know I was away for a week so I need a bit of time to come back on track properly....

I see koontz posted a xml file here viewtopic.php?f=64&t=154568&start=285#p3767175
Is that file the fix for the bugs? (the missing bombardment and the bonus)

Not totally sure it was sent to Lack :-k

..... need to ask

airplanes seems way too powerful for me
we are supposed to be in 1914
bombing was done by dropping a bomb outside the plane by HAND
they were also rare and expensive
on the other hand artillery was dreadful at that time

maybe you can adjust the balance
artillery bombard the enemy first 2 lines (except artillery)
planes arrack planes and bomb artillery, 3rd and supply line
and also revert to 3 neutral

Since the name is trench warfare, I decided to play this game in trench.
AFH1, AFH2, AFH3, AFH4, and FF2 are unbombardable (I assume the same territories on the opposite are as well) and I can't go through the middle.
The game will effectively go on forever,
I suggest changing the middle from resetting to 1 to costing several lives for every turn in it.

This one fixes the foxhole bonuses. Raises the plane neutrals to 7.

When all bugs are fixed and game runs as supposed to, we take a look at gameplay, rigth now it make no sence doing changes and create even more bugs on top of those we already have. Please have patient, we will get this map rigth.

I am surprised at how many bugs there have been in this one. Not like me to do this sloppy work. Sorry flaps.

No worries Koontz

so just played a 1v1 game.. whats up with the allied hospital being completely safe from bombards?
then atleast germany needs some auto-deploy or something..

if allied starts and instead of taking foxhole just takes the hospital thats a unbreakable +2 bonus.. seems really silly, no?

It's the same for the German Hospital (once the new xml is uploaded).

And both sides will lose the 1v1 feel when it is as both players will be spread onto both sides till I can figure a way to get this balanced for the 1v1 game.

When I opened the link, I got a bunch of code that Int. Expl. (which I never use if I can help it) disabled to keep my system safe and I had no clue how to use it. Old fart with severe comp illiteracy issues. I just started my first game here and would love to have my GFH bonus but I agree that you should take the time to get it right and def not change anything ('cept fixin bugs) until after it's outta beta... if then.

I eagerly await the GFH fix and thank you all for you work.

by **koontz1973** on Fri Jun 15, 2012 3:31 am

That code you saw was xml code. This is what tells the games how to play. Nothing wrong with it all all. The bonus will be fixed when it is uploaded.

I apologize if this is already being addressed, but I wanted to point out something I noticed.

If this map is played with the trench setting, as I'm sure it was intended to be played on, isn't in impossible to cross the center since you won't be able to get from safe zone to safe zone before being reset to 1 neutral? Realistically, it seems like it would be possible that two people eliminate each other from each side of them map and then be in a stalemate? Am I missing something?

Hi Kuma, this map was newer intended to be played on trench settings, as the setting was imployed after I made the map (gameplay and grafix) if the map was supposed to be created for trench setting is was then taking in a total diffrent direction, Im sure ther are ohter maps this setting dosent apply to aswell.
So what Im saying is this: "trench game settings" have absolute nothing to do with the map "trench warfare" I dont know who came up with the idea for the name for the game setting, it just have a misfortune coincidence. If one dont like the combination, then dont play it.

by **nolefan5311** on Fri Jun 15, 2012 9:20 am

Have any of you ever actually played with the trench setting? This is like the 4th question in this thread regarding this.

The trench setting does not go into effect on killer neutrals. Therefore, I can take as many killer neutrals as the dice allow me to on one single turn, allowing me to cross the no mans land and leave a stack on the other side without any problems.
