World in Flames II [1.05.1 compatible]

[knightofni]

Playing as UK, Germany or USSR, would you like being able to tell your AI allies to change their strategies?
For instance, as UK or USSR, would you like being able to tell the USA to start Italy invasion or D-Day?
As Germany, would you like being able to tell Italy to focus on helping you out against the Soviet Union?

I think I code it quite easily so let me know if you would like to see such decisions in the mod.

I've dreamed of that while playing germany...

For instance, asking them to repatriate their abyssinian troops in lybia, rather than dying there stupidly...
Or asking them to help you take Port Said (ie : germany from the east after going through turkey, and italy bringing troops from lybia / abyssinia / italy...)

EDIT : sorry for double posting

 

[Fernando Torres]

For now it will be much simpler (Help on Russian front or Defend Italian Homeland).

I like that to

 

[Olle8]

Great idea Fernando, and i also hope that Soviet is as hard to beat as in your first mod.

 

[Olle8]

one more thing, i remember that you made the uk ai supergood against italy i was in shock when i played italy in your mod the first time i hope you still got those skills

HI can i use your DH_Official_Graphic_Pack in my mod, and can modify it a bit for the mod.

Sure, go ahead! Just make sure to credit the appropriate people (not me).


On a side note, I thought about including a possibility for a Polish-German alliance. But after reading some documentation and especially gathered from this thread, I don't think it would be plausible enough. What do you think about it?

Thank you, Godfather. (Fernando Torres) PS: Polish-German alliance will not work because hitler feels that he is the one Führer to rule them all.

That seems pretty unlikely to me, mostly because the deep enmity that existed between Germany and Poland.

Maybe you can have a look at the treatment destined for Poland under General plan Ost, or if you look for "german polish relations", you'll find numerous testimonies of reciprocal hate.

This reminds me that I wanted to know at least what is the strategy of my allies. For example, as Italy, I would like to know if Germany's AI is oriented to Sea Lion or Barbarossa.
I will file a ticket on Mantis.

It should be pretty obvious: if it's Sealion, they'll invade Spain. If it's Barbarossa, they'll invade Yugoslavia and then move toward SOV frontier.

Will the Italian AI still produce a mediocre military with mediocre performance, or we will see more logical production patterns from them? (I've always thought they never did the correct work to their military in the game.)

 

[Fernando Torres]

that's a vanilla issue and it should be resolved

 

[Fernando Torres]

Since 1.03 allows to mod upgrade paths and esp. for naval units, what changes would you suggest? For instance CVL to CV conversion?

I would suggest in general the possibility to upgrade all capital ships to CVL, considering that this happened sometimes in reality.

Based on an excellent idea from Andrea, I just implemented this:

- Added new 'Campaign Goals' system for Germany. At the start of Polish, French and Russian campaigns, an event will give you the opportunity to gamble on your success and win the reward. However, if you fail, you will receive the appropriate punishment!

Excellent idea! However, could you implement more choices? Now you merely have "full risk" or "no thanks". What about different choices with aggressive, moderate and safe options? After all, not every player is either fantastic or bad. There are also good and mediocre players. In real history Germany lost 50.000 men during the Polish campaign. Limiting casualties to 15.000 is almost impossible!

A new Converted Carrier type for BCs/BBs and maybe CAs would be nice. They wouldn't be as efficient as standard CVLs, but it would still be a good option for all those outdated ships. Just don't make it too cheap.

It should be pretty obvious: if it's Sealion, they'll invade Spain. If it's Barbarossa, they'll invade Yugoslavia and then move toward SOV frontier.

I choose an easy example. But what about something less obvious? I don't know about the AI switch, but is there nothing about Germany or Japan first for USA, with very long construction times? Too long to apprehend the switch immediately and adjust accordingly. Or with something that you can't even check in the intelligence window? Just a question, as I wrote, I know nothing about AI switch

 

[Lucifer]

Could you implement Kamikaze and Oka bombers, for the Japanese?

 

[Fernando Torres]

I don't know about the AI switch, but is there nothing about Germany or Japan first for USA, with very long construction times?

No there is no such thing. When US stacks units in Northern Africa, they're going to invade Italy. When they stack in Britain, they'll go for D-Day. That's about it.
