The World in Flames for DD/DDA

[l3illyl3ob]

Is there an english manual available anywhere for this game? I found what looks like a french one in the game's directory but I haven't found an english one anywhere. There are a few features I'm unclear on (such as the unit limitations system) that don't seem to be explained anywhere.

Thanks for the great looking mod.

The 5th of July 1942 will be always remembered as a day of infamy. The Soviet summer offensive, which began with bloody fighting along the Don, quickly developed into a panic retreat towards the Dnepr. Still, the Axis forces hoped that a new defense line could be established, with Kharkov being its main point. Those hopes proved to be baseless once the Soviets unleashed their true offensive - a double pincer attack on Kiev, launched from Crimea and Kursk regions. Those powerful spearheads met up in Konotop, effectively cutting off 150.000 of Bulgarians along with almost 500.000 German soldiers. The Axis forces attempted an unsuccessful breakout, but in vain - until July, all their commanders, including the Bulgarian tsar Boris III, capitualted and became Soviet PoWs.

Thus concludes my first game in WiF. Moving up to Italy now

EDIT: Naval supply events are 3\/1l... >_<

Hi Fernando

WiF is my favorite mod many thanks for creating it
I have made Latvia Mini mod (in Latvian language) – it means some kind of ”Latvia improvement pack” correct ministers, leaders + 124 events for Latvia, some events for Soviet Union (occupation of Baltic states/ alternative timeline- Latvia USSR winter war :rofl, little bit of graphics changes
as WiF mod shows the best AI/event performance and historical evolution question – can I use WiF as a platform for Latvia Minimod
I know the post war events issue – but it’s resolved, took events from SMEP CORE, so the WiF game is running smoothly

I wonder if anyone has tried or knows if the DAIM mods is compatible with WiF? Seems as though the AI is pretty good in DAIM, not just to include it in this mod, I can only imagine the result...

I would like to confirm my previous observation that in Gold the "End of the Soviet Union" event does fire appropriately and that in fact the message says "Dem Fuehrer war richtig". It is now another game and once again I finished off the Archenemy in the summer of 1943 (it is useless to rush as by the end China is even worse and the meager Soviets are a good barrier state until we can get enough Panzers into Siberia). In case you are interested, Mongolia is Japan's puppet and Japan gets a small slice of the far east around Vladivostok as well. Anyway, I need to mop up the Allies in India.

Hi, I think this is coolest mod I have ever played but one queston... why USA joined allies in january 39:rofl:
I play as Germany with normal settings and historical way. Not so nice start.

 

[son of liberty]

Is this updated for 1.3 yet?

 

[The Great Duck]

Who is the president?What was Japan doing?

 

[Calad]

Roosenvelt is president and Japan is in halfway China... and it is updated to 1.3. Only thing which is exceptional is USAs high invertion-slider instead of isolatism...

 

[The Great Duck]

Did USSR do anything thats not usually happening?

Did USSR do anything thats not usually happening?

USSR is cool and steady, but I noticet just now Japans high bellinger... it is 91. I assume that reducing that will fix the problem?

And Japand hasnt annexed yet anything... and they even paid compensations for Americans...

And one thing more, fix engineers picture in Germany. There is guy with flamethower...

So, for arma 1.2 I download Platinum main files/music/graphics, yes?

 

[Monumentiumerongraphataquesqly]

Ok well, I did, I copied a seperate Doomsday folder into Programme Files too and extracted main files and graphics. However when I load a nation, it freezes then crashes when loading up a scenario. Halp.

 

[The Great Duck]

You need to start a new game.

 

[Monumentiumerongraphataquesqly]

What do you mean?

I tried starting again with the same .exe to arrive at the same fate.

 

[Calad]

lol, now I know what went wrong. I accidentaly installed 1.3 DD-patch instead of DDA 1.2

btw that actually strangely made game much more intresting. I liked my buggy spysystem and it was following: i couldnt send any spies but ai could. However ai always failed so it didnt made any different, I could only send spies to my country with cost of 11k cash :wacko:
Game was much faster (took 2h to get in year 39) and no micromanagement at all thx no spies. Now my game should work properly but if USA still makes that strange alliance I prefer my buggy version instead of 1.2 DDA patch :rofl:

You shouldnt load a previously saved game.Also,you need the 1.2 patch.

 

[Jedrek]

I got owned with Italy, Bulgaria, France... I'm too scared to try USSR today

 

[Monumentiumerongraphataquesqly]

I didn't load a previous game and I was using 1.2.

Here's what I did, I copied my Doomsday folder which was 1.1 at the time (Arma). I then downloaded premium main files and graphics. THEN, I patched it to 1.2. After that I extracted graphics and then the main files. Everything loaded up fine, and I tried starting a game as Germany however while it was loading it crashed.

This happened with Manchukuo and USSR too.

 

[The Great Duck]

Which scenario did you start?
