csolares Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 I have been playing SC about two months now. Yesterday I downloaded V1.06. Three things: 1) The USSR war readiness goes up much faster than before. I conquered in that order, poland, denmark, low countries and france, then when I was about to invade yugoslavia, hungary then romania and bulgaria became axis, I invaded yugoslavia, inmediately the USSR became prepares for war. I wasn't ready to go to war with them, I only had about 5 air fleets and 5 tanks (Usually I have about 8 of each), I didn't invade much and still they became ready for war, that's not bad, It makes you aware of your moves. 2) The AI is a bit sharper, (I haven't finish my game, still haven't conquered the USSR) but those reds are more aggresive than ever before, they don't do so defensive like before, they attack with more aggresiveness, with air strikes, tank, armies/corps attacks, much more often. 3) The technology race is much tougher than before, I only have three points allocated and have only Tanks +1, everything else is as starts. Conclusion: Much more fun, more challenging. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wachtmeister Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 In my current v.106 game, as Axis the "conquest order" was the same as yours. The Italians also took Greece by amphibious assult. However, I just built up forces, researched, and pounded England from the air thereafter, and waited for the Allied coup in Yugoslavia. The USSR war readiness percentage went up much less, and Russia did not prepare for war until Jan' 42. With the v.106 changes, Germany can use all the time she can get.

HankWWIIOnline Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 I've invaded Yugoslavia twice with the new patch. What happens? A 20% increase in Soviet readiness. Just don't do it. The Yugo's will revolt eventually anyway, so take them out then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John DiFool Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 If the AI is now attacking you more , when on the defensive [as Russia against you as Axis, though I personally have not noticed this], then this should make things easier for you, not harder. I almost always say, "thanks for the favor Uncle Joe!" when a Russian unit attacks one of mine [esp. if it is a city garrison], as it will usually take more damage than I will, thus making it easier to kill on my turn. Now of course sometimes [esp. at higher experience handicaps] the AI will manage to kill a valuable unit or two of yours [it esp. likes going after weakened armor units]. But I have since learned not to leave such units exposed, isolated, and weakened like that. If it just tried to form a solid defensive front, instead of constantly launching all these suicide attacks, then the Eastern Front would be quite a bit harder to crack.

csolares Posted December 10, 2002 Author Share Posted December 10, 2002 John: The AI as Russia, kills more of my units by doing this: attacking with three air fleets one single unit, which leaves him with a strengt of 4 to 6,then they attack this unit from at least three fronts, which kill the unit, they use the same strategy that I use to kill them. They are more aggresive, yes sometimes it helps, if they're in a city, it leaves him with a strenght of maybe 8, so It's easier to kill the unit in the city.

JayJay_H Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Just playing my first v1.06 game, its summer of 42' and the war in the east is half a year old. With Allied exp+100% I conquered the rest of europe as i did in the versions before without serious problems doing so. My formula is it always to mass quantums of land units at the russo-german border after france fell, and you will have all time of the world to build up your eastern army. I conquered france and scandinavia simultanously, and shipped my northern troops (2armies, one tank group, rundstedt and most of my airforce) from sweden to koenigsberg after the battle of scandinavia and then deploying them along the border - so USSR will think twice before she raises any join value. Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria joined the Axis voluntary, making them join the hard way would cause fastened USSR WAr preparations. As well as attacking Yugo, which should always be avoided, and no need for that because the coup is just a matter of time - And no single pro-allied yugo ever escaped right. By Feb 1942 they (USSR)finnaly made preparations for war so they got invaded. At that time i had tanks+2, jets+1 and antitank+4, even though my 10 research points are all spent. I noticed the following: V.1.06 makes the russians get research progress very soon in the sections that germany has. Gameplay really is more balanced [ December 10, 2002, 07:59 PM: Message edited by: JayJay_H ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_j_rambo Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Carl Van Mr. Manner --- Lets get it on right now. We'll start out on TCP/IP to get the ball rolling. Post the I.P. to play the Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 I don't what's up with Billy Macon's custom game. Lets go with the regular '39 campaign. Pick either side. Johnny Legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl G. E. von Mannerheim Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Ok, if its tcp u want then we must wait until the end of next week, as i have semester finals coming up soon. PBEM we can start this weekend. CvM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 I understand. Don't want to take you away from your studies. I figured we'd play for just an hour online, or say to the fall of France. Then go PBEM. What do you say? You're going to study for the chemistry test right now are? Here's your chance kid.

Carl G. E. von Mannerheim Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 First off, maybe for an hour this weekend. Then PBEM. Actually its honors biology, algebra 2 and trigonometry, Hebrew scriptures, Honors literature, and french. CvM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Okay, I understand...I'll back off. You "stepped up" to the plate. Here's some pointers for you. Biology --- Microcondria is the PowerHouse of the cell. Algebra I --- y = mx + b Algebra II --- y = (-b +/- 4a^2) / 2a Trig --- Tan = Sin / Cos. What the integral of Cos.? That's calculus actually, integrals of an equation to find the area under a curve. Or maybe it's the derivative. Hebrews Scriptures --- Isaiah 7:14 "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." Literature --- For Whom the Bell Tolls, Catcher in the Rye, Huck Finn, Martian Chronicles, Kill a Mockingbird, Lord of the Flies, & of course my favorite "A Seperate Piece" French --- don't know a thing. Soup Da Jour. Or better yet from "The Longest Day"...John has a long moustache.

BriantheWise Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Rambo, Rambo, I would love to humble you. New rules (you bailed on my other challenges), New Game. And this time, I don't think you can win. You said, "I will never lose as "Germines, actually," German". I challenge you. ICP. 4PM, Saturday, 12/14. Pacific Coast Time. None of this PBEM crap. ICP. Dare? YOu have my email. bpoulsen60@hotmail.com. I bet you a dollar. That's all you can afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Brian The Wise --- Okay dude, you've been heard. We've played PBEM & that was patch 1.05, ancient history, you got head-cracked. I don't live off my past victories, so lets get it on live TCP/IP. Then you made your ploy with the '44 scenario & I accepted your offer with mirror games; score on a point system. I don't have a problem playing any campaign, any rules, any this, any that. What makes the '39 campaign a true test of skill is you get to plan your own military machine. You'll get the real-deal on Saturday. No problem, I'll clear up these issues on the battlefield. I'm not the AI, so don't bother practicing!!! These other clowns on the Forum get into editing, giving experience to the AI, or whatever. You can't put overall strategic gaming skills into a handicap. If you give me the Germans on patch 1.06, you will get head-cracked. If you think it's because the game is slanted, they you are wrong my friend. Give me the Allied forces for a game on 1.06. Everybody can has their beliefs about 1.06, but I know the Truth. I'll have a six-pack of micro-brew, a bag of pretzels, & one of my favorite movies playing on big-screen in the background: Aliens. You'll be sounding like this game after the game. "That's great, now what are we suppose to do? That's it man! Game over, man! Game over! What are we going to do now?" -HUDSON Rambo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I'm that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
