The bilingual Mod GC-the world in flames for DD/Arma

[Gen.Schuermann]

I just played your mod and i am right before Danzig or War. It has been interesting so far, and i am looking forward to more. I like what i see atm, with Japan simultanously landing on 4-6 beaches across china. it now moves inward, and made some pretty nice encirclements, which quite rocked. I am also pleased to see that you made the AI build IC in the first years, which is cool.

I know that a lot of your AI improvements stem from free units and such, but a NatSpain that has been reduced to about 20 IC for 2 years and suddenly boasts 60+ inf/mil, and a natspain that suddenly loses half of it's units is a bit too much.

Yes, i know, this is due to the Italian Help, as after the victory event fired, half of NatSPains units vanished. But maybe you could adjust that number a little? It would have been fun to see the spanish civil war last well into the 40s.

Another thing that bugs me just a little is the new speed of the units. i understand due to the added defensiveness the units now take longer to win a battle, but light tanks with 21 speed sounds a little insane. I wont say more here, as i havent seen real combat yet. will report back, now to fight Poland and France

EDIT: A thing i noticed: Some Swiss Banks event fires about every 2-4 weeks. is that supposed to happen?

For the SCW, something like 20 divs are added to SPA and SPR at key moments to make it longer. In the new version which will be released soon, it lasts until mid 39, as it really was . I've made many changes. (there are screenies there from my currents works)
Then, for the speed units, you'll see how the new combat system works when you'll face war. But i can say it is much more realistic.
Good game !

Installation again

Sorry to despair you with another installation question,
I am running windows vista and arma 1.1
I can install the 0.5 patch and play the game - it looks nice etc.

However if i then install next patches(arm patch, 0.51 and english in that order) as stated on the first page the game fails to start at the reading scenario stage after selecting a country.
I've tried downloading the patches again, installing the english lite patch over the 0.50 etc - any suggestions as to obvious errors I am making or solutions?
Cheers

Hmm tried installing the 0.5 and .51 on doomsday and it works fine.
Doomsday it is then

 

[Gen.Schuermann]

Hmm, i have to say i quite dislike the combat system. While i understand what you were going to do achieve, i disapprove the changes. I am in the middle of the france campaign, right at the outskirts of paris. It took me 1 month to reach with Belgium about to be down, and holland already down. I had a what seems like a month long battle in Ghent, which i just have to shake my head about. I had 30+ divisions attacking a 5 div defense, and they still hold, because my massive force, with half of it panzers, to destroy them. This is not just unrealistic, but a major game breaker. How can one you blitz somebody who has defense values out of this world? How can 5 divisions on plains successfully defend against 30+ attackers? This makes blitzkrieg utterly useless.

Do you think your AI still has the same effect if i just go back to the old values? Besides the combat system, i quite like your mod. The Polish even wanted and successfully (alas for 1 hr only... ^^) surrounded me at one time while the month long battle of warsaw raged. Well i will just go ahead try that.

And to add some constructive criticism: The new third choice of Weserübung, to attack all 3 scandinavian nations, is still in french.

 

[HogansHeros]

I like the mod very much so far. As for the blitzkrieg, what was your air force doing. If you had them running interdiction the French troops should have lost organization rather fast and then the speed of your tanks could have over-run their retreat.

I like the new combat system, but I think that the rate at which Generals gain experience may need to be turned down to compensate for the longer battles.

 

[unmerged(85467)]

silly me...

finally got a good install, but haven't played it yet because of one thing...it's all in french. i did install the english patch. from what i can tell, it only chnages the events to english. the rest of the game is in french. now, i know this is a noob question, but is there a way i can change everything else back to english? i have a feeling you are going to tell me to reinstall several things, which is no problem. i just need to know what.

looks great! and between you an me, i like the realism...hint, hint

 

[dannyboy2016]

This was the first game I've played where I saw a serious allied D-Day. Very nice. My Red Army wasn't able to take France or even all of Germany this time around. Strangest thing was that Australia launched the invasion. It devoted around 20 divisions or so, mostly MOT. America launched a similar invasion of Greece. Japan was at peace with the allies because China beat them and liberated Korea.

Haveing trouble downloading is there a good time when i am able to get on to download. Keeps asking for username and password

 

[Hawk_345]

ok about the problem with the music ingame. how can i fix it myself?

also SKIF is going to have a new update soon and i would like to use it with your mod, it will not have any efect with the mod, will it?

 

[Black Lotus]

Yeah, does SKIF and GIP work (Since you said in the light version you don't have it. And can you make the installation clear too please?

 

[Black Lotus]

0.5 download link is down.

 

[Hawk_345]

keep trying the link, one minute it does not work, the next it does, and try main post and fernando's sig link.

also nvr mind about the music, i got it to work.

 

[paertboy99]

Yeah My Armageddon still does not work but my Doomsday does; Could it be vista?

How I installed:

1. Installed 0.5 to a folder then copied all the files and replaced them over Armageddon.

2. I put the ArmA patch in

3. I then put 0.51 in there

4. then the English patch

5. Then I put 0.522 in there.

The problem is that It crashes 90 or 99% of the way while loading the 1936 scenario.

 

[Andri]

im using vista and i installed it 0.5 then arma and then eng

there is no 0.522, thats the light version of the mod, no Gfx or music. do not put that in over the others.

Also Fernando has not posted in a long time, i hope he has not given up on this mod. he was talking about a new release, so i dont think thats the reason.
