beginner's luck

Now DiFool The 2nd thats a great idea.Would really make you match the HQ for the mission. Instead of just which one is highest,we would be able to pick one in the correct role. Attacking mission use say Patton for his attack and Eisenhower if you what defensive(due to supply issues). Thats would really be cool. Great idea!! What you think Desert Dave ,can the editor let someone like EDwin change it to handle the different areas?

LOL Keegan, Now you sound like I was.What has this forum done to me.lol KUNI- JJ please help me!!! The reason I didn't respond to your post HERE ,was cause everyone has already talked about Hex or no hex to the ground. Hubert isnt going to change it at this late stage so lets move on. But like I was correctly reminded to do, I didn't post anything against your topic,just didnt responsed to it. Like I said before keep up the good posting. Its good to see new blood here every week. Honestly,read my prior posts.I beleive in what your saying.

Hey JJ and Kuniworth , Forum police or not. The posts have improved so much I had to add a signature to my posts.

Nice to see the great post back!! :cool:

Well in the last 2 months, I saw a Kuni that had a comment for every thing and everyone. So to see that same comment in every thread seems out of place. Maybe you have ALWAYS done that.But I didnt see that in the posts that I read.If that makes me a newbie than so be it.

Sorry JJ . Nothing personal directed at you. I guess I just got tired of seeing Kuniworth just post the same saying 20 times every post. He usually has something orginal to add and it was a little disappointing to see him do that as his only comment to the 5-6 prior threads before mine. If someone else would have done that he would be all over them. He is like the forum police or thinks he is. So to see him do that was a bit surprising , if not sad. Your right though. I do appreciate the good posts.And if you look back I "usually" dont say anything about the bad ones. I didnt jump on the lets bash Kaptain Karl band wagon. So JJ I realize you were just responsed to as you put it -a "profound statment". Next time I will more direct on whos post I'm talking about . Just didnt want the thread to turn into a fight between Kuni and myself. But to just see if he had anything else better to say.

Please can someone come up with a good topic for this forum to talk about. Now all I see is " Now lets all calm down in here" and that picture. If that is all this place has come too we are in troube. It was funny the first six times but now its old when thats all thats said EVERY post. :eek:

Thats the point Kuniworth. This is a GAME. The "opponent" already knows how to fight the modern war. So it needs to be balanced to both sides have a reasonably chance of winning.The way germany wins is by total world domination.The way Allies win is by holding out long enough to get tech advantage and the USA force in War.So the Game needs to make it so both are possible every game,because it is a GAME. To set the game up from the begining that the only way for a player being Germany to win is for them to player someone that is new to the game(which most people would rather play people their own level or greater) or play weak AI(which again noone wants) would be a great shame as a follow up to SC1. Hey ,I love America too but I dont want to play a game that they win ever time unless I play my 8 yr old son. Remember Dave said this was for the "full" campaign. Sure for indiviual senarios, let Germany be against unsurmountable odds to play a historical battle. But for the full one ,let both sides have a fair chance to win. I think Retributar stated correctly that people play GAMES and choice the side that lost so they can see if they can find mistakes made and see if they can come up with a better solution. I dont think anyone likes to play a GAME that it is predetermined one would win every time. Would people have played SC1 and been so passionate about it for all these years if every game played was won by Allies.I dont think so. I know some people really like playing Allies and think they should win no matter what ,but come on.Whats the fun of that. I'm sure even you Kuniworth would get bored playing SC2 if Allies won EVERY game. [ January 06, 2006, 01:39 AM: Message edited by: beginner's luck ]

Edwin , are you writing these down. With all the good ideas you have for mods. ,etc. ,someone should be. To hard to find them all in this forum.

Damn talk about holding a grudge!!!

Kuniworth I think you just provided Desert Dave his answer! People want to be able to prove/play that given the same starting point they will be able to correct the "errors" and have a desired outcome. Example you say if some were fixed than maybe Allies win quicker. Edwin says if maybe Germany not declare war on US at first it would have had a big difference. Both are true statements! So the answer for DD is that people want a game that lets THEM decide the fate of the nations ,not have preset events put in just to make outcome more like history. If players make same decisions as the leaders in history than game comes out like history. But the "what ifs" is why WE ALL PLAY THE GAME!!!!!!! :cool: BTW JJ's agruement is sound. Germany should be given an "edge" at the start cause they really did have an edge over the rest of Europe.Makes perfect sense. [ January 05, 2006, 10:19 PM: Message edited by: beginner's luck ]

Unbeivable.Kuniworth does single player answer the qustion?- You might want to switch back to K-worth cause maybe in his world Sp= Spain might make sense. Like it does to the rest of the people in the world!!! [ January 05, 2006, 08:17 PM: Message edited by: beginner's luck ]

What is this???!!!! Your mad cause the Allies were at the whim of the Axis? Of course they were!! Thats why they called Germany the "aggressors".!! Thats what any invader or nation/leader that is trying to conquer the world as they knew it(ie Hitler,Alexander the Great, Napoleain,etc)wanted to have. The point of the defending nation/leader is to cause the situation to be where the invader loses the initiative. BTW that was your lesson in Wining and lossing 101 for the week.Please check back next week for the next lesson- Why having more soldiers may help you!!!

Not saying I'm any MORE knowledge than anyone else but here is what my take.The question was: I think a balanced game is where both sides have a equal chance in winning. If due to the overall situation,(ie Like Desert Dave stating things like its going to hard for Germany to be able to conquer every minor nation due to partisans therefore less MPPs,etc,and all the other disadvantage Germany will have.) it means that Germany needs a little help ie 55-45than I think that will be best for the game. There is no way anyone here can say that they play the game "exactly" like it happened in history.They dont in SC1 so why would they do it in SC2?So why balance the game so it will end "exactly "like history. Why would any one play if it was already decided that the game would be lopsided that Allies would win every time. It doesn't make sense to say ,since Allies won the real thing that is how Sc2 should make the outcome of their game. Remember guys this is a GAME!!!!. Watch History channel if you what it to be the exact same battleplan,end game,etc. I want a fair chance to win as Allies as well as Axis. Thats why I played SC1. Thats why I will buy SC2. So give Germany a fighting chance at the begining of game and let the "leadership" (or lack there of)of the Human player on who wins at the end.

Sure rambo ,I'm Carl Von whats his name. I came out of hiding cause your post on the mile long column was just too interesting not too!! No Rambo I'm not anyone else.Its just me beginner's luck And thanks JJ (the real one) for that info on the SC1 forum. But without reading them yet, dont most of you feel that atleast Finland should have its own decent HQ's to start. They wouldnt have held out that long against Russia unless they had atleast a decent leader.Not great but atleast decent. But I will read the post and see what you guys have to say.

Thanks Hubert for the response. :cool:

Yes please Blashy!!! All the old ones have their pictures deleted.Really want to see how you use that diplomcy screen some more. Please just one more!!!

So still wondering if anyone knows if any of the minor nation(especially Finland)will have their own HQ's in SC2? Sorry if this was stated before but can't find that thread.

Oh my bad!!! I thought anyone that had less than a few thousand posts were all newbies. I just thought that cause a while ago a member that had about 150 something wasn't part of your "elite" club.So I assumed that 400 wasnt enough either. Again my bad!! I guess I need to look up in my directory,opps I mean dictionary and read closer what number is the cross over point between the two. Also please Condor please dont be like Rambo and not post the real answer on the forum.Wow thats twice me and Kuni agreed.

Good one Comrade Trapp , Now you have newbies bashing newbies! Nice job! Btw Retributar ,sorry to hold you spellbound with our posts here.Now you can get back to real work before your boss catches you.

Speaking of Poland, does anyone know if any of the Minor nations will have their own HQ's? Would seem like it would add a little bit more realizism to game. Like Finland shouldnt fall so quickly to USSR. Sorry had to get back to the true topic here, just got distracted a little.

This just isnt fair!! When K-worth and Comrade Trapp try to insult me,I feel like Germany attacking Poland in SC1. They try to hold on but they are just overly matched!!

Dictionary??????? I said directory. :confused: :confused: I guess we don't have to be jealous of your IQ either?! [ January 04, 2006, 09:20 AM: Message edited by: beginner's luck ]

BTW this has a little bit to much detail for it not to be a recent memory for you.Am sorry those sailors treated you so bad.Must of been the French sailors, heard they love everyone,ie terrorists,fanboys,etc(even you,K-worth)! Why the name change? :confused: [ January 04, 2006, 09:03 AM: Message edited by: beginner's luck ]

Well KUNIWORTH , I dont know who LUCKY ZEBRA was(not in directory at all) but your posts speak for themselves. So for once me and you are on same page-it is hard to be jealous of your IQ!!!!
