Sol Invictus

Hey Wagner, Ive already pre-ordered my copy of Trench, looks like it will be a very nice game.

Welcome to the Bunker. As Mr. Man said, you should get a confirmation right after your order.

The longer and farther a navy operates from a friendly port, the worse it's supply situation becomes. You dont want to fight a naval battle if your entire fleet is at Supply Level 0 while the enemy fleet is at 5.

I would guess that the U.S. would enter immediately. Dont know what Russia would do.

Agreed, N. Africa/Med should be a bigger part of a possible strategy. As it is now, N. Africa is completely ignored.

Not a problem.

What dedication! Very nice work.

Just right click on a unit that is in a port and the option to transport will be available. You dont actually build them per se.

I agree, it should not be possible to conduct amphibious invasions at any point where land and sea meet. Need beach hexes.

I agree.

I have to agree with Aku, completely surrounded units should not be able to receive reinforcements. I hope this will change.

This is just because Hubert knows all the God Mode keys.

I completely deleted the demo and only have the one PBEM file. He is going to try to e-mail me the attachment again. I have started a PBEM game myself and saved the game and then checked the PBEM save folder and the saved game is located there as is his attachment he sent me. If I try to load a saved PBEM game, the game I started is available but his still isnt. If I still cant get his next attchment to become available to load I am going to start a game and mail him the file and see if he can continue the game. This is probably some oversight on my part but I appreciate your time and effort in helping me figure this out.

He says he is running 1.02 and is playing PBEM games with some other people. It would seem that the problem is on my end. I am running 1.02, clean install, no other saves were in any folders, I got his attachment and it is in my PBEM folder and it appears to be a complete file. Yet when I try to start the game and push Load Saved PBEM I have no game from which to select. Is there something I need to do to his attachment he sent me, other than save it to the PBEM folder, before it will appear as a choice.

I just found out today that my ISP is changing their e-mail server, and with the upcoming takeover by another Phone Company, I may not have this straightened out till early September. I still dont quite understand this. I have the file you sent and it is in the PBEM folder. It just doesnt show up as a saved PBEM game from which to choose to play. I will keep trying to figure it out.

My opponent has mailed me a file of a new game we are just now starting. I have receive the file and saved it to the PBEM folder. I went in the folder and it is there and is 477kb. When I try to start the game for my first turn and hit Load a Saved PBEM, there is nothing there. Am I missing a step?

Thanks arby, I will check with my oponent on the version number.

I am trying to do a PBEM game with Titan and he has sent me the initial file. I DLed it into the PBEM folder but when I go to start the game I cant find it in the PBEM Saved option. I have never done PBEM so I'm sure it's just my ignorance, but I'm at a loss. Help please.

That happened once before with a guy from England. It must be a Commonwealth problem.

Make that 1 bucket, jesh I cant type worth a damn.

HeHe, there will be nothing left to conquer by then. You will have to be content with a bucket of a bucket of N. African sand.

Straha, that is what I have been thinking. That would be an easy fix till SC2 and a new and more detailed research model is introduced. I bet developers really love it when people who love the game nitpik it to death with stuff like this. It's only because we adore it Hubert and have aspirations for it as we would our own children.

I thought he was overly harsh on the AI. It is really dificult to program an AI for a historical wargame since the gamer has a good idea of what to expect through 20/20 hindsight. The leaders in WW2 didnt know what we know. Overall, I think it does a very good job.

Dumbo, I've tried to do the whole, It's just improved fighters on the road to actual jets thing but when the unit icon turns into a delta wing jet and the sounds is a jet engine, it gets difficult. I just think the Tech could use some tweaking; maybe in a patch or in SC2. Still loving the game.

It seems to be a general occuransce, since as was mentioned, Jet airpower is so devastating. The AI will go for Jets as soon as possible and you usually end up with the Germans, British and Ameriacans at the least having them very early in the war. It's just a little strange and I think it could use some toning down. Jet fighters should be rare and toward the end of the war, '43 at the absolute earliest and shouldnt account for the majority of planes in the air by '42, as seems to be the case in most games. Just a thought.
