Barticus Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 I was just reading Ted's AAR (excellent job BTW) and now I have a few questions. As I understand it now, the player will know the exact amount of commitment each Allied/Axis country has toward their particular alliance. First of all, is this correct, or am I completely off? Now the questions; 1) Does this percentage apply only to the Major powers of each alliance? 2) Would it be possible (via a game setting perhaps) to hide this percentage, or only use vague terminology? i.e. Strong, Moderate, Weak. IIRC, Hitler was surprised by England's declaration of war after the invasion of Poland, and I feel hidden commitments would add an element of uncertainty to the proceedings.

Hubert Cater Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Good points, the commitment percentages only applies to majors and for all modes of play were kept in there. But as I am in the process of cleaning up the FoW messages (kept in there until the end just to make sure the AI was playing properly) this will most likely be hidden for this mode of play.

I like the idea of replacing them by those "strong", "moderate", "weak" etc. messages. Straha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
