zolacat999 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Hi, Love the game but cannot find any active forums, and I do have a few questions, so i'll fire away and see if anyone still visits these forums. Right so Im playing a hotseat game against a friend and he is axis im the allies he has taken out france, but russia is set to neutral as he has not played the game much to give him a sort of advantage. he took out spain and portugal but i got an american army 15 strength into Gibraltar to stop him advancing into north africa which I have conquered he tried to kill the army but once it got weak I just brought another one across and replaced it in the same turn so in the end he gave up and moved his air units to turkey to start an attack there which is currently still ongoing, I then counter attacked in spain and push him back liberating spain and portugal but my problem is the strategic resources are all at 50% efficiency so the spanish citys only produce 5mpp why is this and yes i have held them for a few turns but they do not recover to full strength.

Bill101 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Hi Zolacat Resources in Spain and other countries will only go up to 10 once they are in territory connected to the capital of a major, and in this instance the capital to aim for is Paris. Fortunately you do not need to actually capture Paris to see your resources starting to rise from 5 to 10, simply having a unit adjacent to Paris will set this process going. As long as he survives the inevitable counterattack of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolacat999 Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 Oh brilliant just tried it and so it does, well that has defiantly helped, no if I could just get paris then I might stand a chance of being able to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolacat999 Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 Whats the best way to attack and capture paris? Its currently 1946 and its looking like its gona be a draw which is not to bad I don't think, it doesn't look like the axis player is gona be able to take england or usa as he is still stuck in the med and north africa, although he doesn't have to worry about russia which is annoying I have about 3 usa armies on the spanish border I own the port at the top left of france cannot think of its name as im typing this now and I have 2 spare half strength corps near the port. He has a corps in france and in the rest of the french towns but no spare units that can move around. In the economic situation We are currently both got the same amount of income around 400 ish each I have slightly more and within the next few turns when I border my unit next to paris My income will go up considerable and I will have a good economic advantage. I have around 5/6 15 strength air unit on the english coast but the corps in paris has level 6 entrenchment, The problem I've got is that I need to be able to take it very quickly once I make a move, currently the axis player is not trying to push me out of the top of france or spain as he is plowing most of his money into turkey. However, most of my usa troops are being sent to turkey to try to stop the axis from taking it. So once I make a move on paris he will immediately start to buy alot of troops and corps to bolster the defenses there which will make it very hard to take. If I do manage to take it and hold it it will give me a good advantage and If i can hold it till 1947 I think i'll win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Buy some Strategic Bombers and use these to reduce the garrison of Paris's entrenchment, sending them in with Fighter escort. Then strike hard with any remaining air and ground units. But from your description above I think it will be a good and tough battle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolacat999 Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Thanks managed to get it to work and won the match, Once I had got paris his income start to fall and I pushed him back further into Germany Then the time ran out and I achieved victory, are there any mods to take away the time limit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I must admit that it's been a very long time since I opened the SC1 editor, but if you open it up I think there may be a way to change the end date. Most things in the editor are fairly straightforward to use so I would suggest giving this a go. I'm glad that my advice helped, although I think that in your next game I should now give all my advice to your opponent to even things up!

zolacat999 Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 Had a go with the campaign editor, it is quite simple to use but i couldn't find any feature that allows the campaign time to be extended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I've taken a quick look in the editor and I think it might be one thing we can't change. In the SC2 editor this can be changed, but not in SC1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
