C...thanks for helping out with the file for Qwert....sorry i couldn't attend to it this morning but i had to get to RL work.

I have run that file you posted above through the XML checker and while it comes up with a green light, there is a message below on that same results page:

Test results:
Warning: Territory 101 Parachute Division has no borders
Warning: Territory XIX TAC Air Force has border 101 Parachute Division, but not vice versa
Summary: 0 errors and 2 warnings detected in WWII_Ardennes_Offensive_150508.xml (10 continents, 73 territories)

I had to save your file over the top of my 150508.xml file so alleviate all the - hyphens from the copy and paste routine. Don't know what this results is all about. Can you have another look please.
Thanks

I like the WW2 topics maps...just started this game and there is an inbalance detected:
How come there are no connections between 62Volks and 2SS , or 18Volks and 1SS, or 3Para and 12Volks ?

The roads in reality were there(you even drew them!, it is a map, so one should be able to use them.
What you see now is that anyone having a slight majority in the German HQ area will knock out opposition one by one (no-one other pours in his troops because of probable "benefits" elsewhere) and be able to lock it up by securing only TWO choke points:LXVI (or IIss north) and VII (south) !
By having this area secured, the player is only ONE target away of securing bonusses; only +1PanzerArmee(SS up north) or +1 para (near bastogne).

My suggestion is to add these roadlinks asap for more balanced gameplay.

cheers

I apologize if this has already been said.

It says on the map, SLZ can attack SDC.

I found out the hard way it's not the other way around.

I suggest that it be changed to 'SLZ can attack SDC, but not vice versa' or something.

FallschirmjȨger should be Fallschirmjäger

I'd probably argue that it should be an 'a' instead of 'a umlaut' as it causes problems with BOB
searching for it in the dropdown.

Let se,Hold North II SS Korps,and hold south VII InfantrieArmee,these you mean.I think that these is good balanced,first he must take 11 Units and player will get only 2 for bonuses,and these is preaty small prize for these Achive in batleground.And i belive that other players will not siting and watching how one player taking 11 terittories in easy way.Like i say before these map is not create to be balanced for 1v1.

By having this area secured, the player is only ONE target away of securing bonusses; only +1PanzerArmee(SS up north) or +1 para (near bastogne).

These second i dont quit understand.

have a look on game Game 2513729 and note the path of the red player

Just spoke to yeti_c and it's ok to just correct the code from &#x228 to &#228
as it's not a good reason to prevent maps from using correct names just because scripts can't currently handle them

by chipv on Tue Jun 03, 2008 5:51 pm

No, please just change &#x228 to &#228 so you have

Fallschirmjäger

as you originally intended. (It looks like FallschirmjȨger now).

Thanks

Love the map; hate reverting to dropdowns...
