Victory is Mine

[King]

The almighty Axis is Victorious

but it was a bit of a close run thing in the Pacific

I have to say I picked the victory conditions I thought were easiest and played for them right from the get go. I could get a harder game by picking victory conditions that suited my play style less. I also think that it would of been much tougher in a multiplayer game, I needed to show my hand very early as the Axis.

Congratulations

Also, when did you start your campaign? 1936? Full AI control or more manual control? How much of the mighty Japanese fleet left?

You didn't create any new theaters!




edit: Ahah! The star in the outliner is for allied objectives!

You got the last three victory conditions in less than an hour?

You only need 12 of the 15 VCs for a win.

It was a 1936 start. Would of been a lot tougher in a 1939 start. I sunk of lot of IC into transports, capital ships and NAVs. Otherwise it would of been impossible.

I'm excited. Based on these screenshots it appears AI USA was close to taking over japan. Much better than 1000 inf brigades in DC.

You would have to continue that game as Japan, to hell with victory conditions. See if you can repulse the Yanqui barbarian invaders

You only had the Bitburg and Berlin theatre HQ at the end?

Certainly the invasion AI has been given a bit of a make over. So it performs much better. I never took manual control of any of my units. Just set objectives. Meanwhile my Italian buddies managed an invasion of Malta. Although despite me conquering the UK mainland the Italian troops were still routed in North Africa.

What worries me is the fact that Japan controls China and Burma, but not Philippines or Dutch East Indies...

I didn't feel the need to create new ones. My theatres were doing a good job.

As the Japanese were doing so well in China I felt that Singapore was the easier objective as compared to Batavia, especially as the USA seemed to be getting the upper hand in the naval war. With the capture of Manila not being a victory condition I am not sure why I should of asked the Japanese to take it?

I saw that too, but if you look at the axis victory conditions none of them involve the east indies. One of the incomplete objectives is Delhi which means japan was doing what was right for the "game" in terms of victory conditions.

Its like saying my pencil keeps elephants away. I'm holding my pencil right now, and I don't see any elephants so it must be working right?

King, how are Japan's resources? I see you are 99999-ed out. Were you able to funnel enough resources to keep their economy going?


edit: Ooops did not notice Batavia, but kings post above reassures me as japan seems to have done (admirably) what the player told him.

I did not try to send resources to Japan. They would just of got slaughtered by Allied Navies.

 

[CaptRobau]

The AI is doing a good job here. The islands taken on the path to Japan are almost completely historic. Good job on that.

 

[Cybvep]

If the AI follows its victory conditions, then that's great.

BTW, still no resource attrition effect and huge stockpiles?

 

[foriavik]

It looks really great, except the fact that the Allies and the Comintern only achieved one goal
This shows either the AIs incapability to fulfill their goals or that you played very good and hindered them... I fear the first one is true

Victory conditions could be a good idea to guide the AI a little bit without using real scripting.

Operation Tannenbaum for a Victory Point? The Swiss are screwed......
