Voxman Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 I wanted to try a 9000 point QB but it only goes to 5000 points. What happened ? I thought BTS was advertising that CMBB would allow a 9000 QB if desired! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow 1st Hussars Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 9000 points doesn't really make for much of a "quick" battle. It seems that even 5000 wouldn't be so quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could buy an entire regiment of infantry. 9000 could almost be a division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterX Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 Maybe feasible for the multi-multiplayer rewrite. Actually, now that I think about it, that would be the ultimate gas. You'd see 3 on 3, 4 on 4 battles, like the matches at Battle.net for Warcraft 3. Hmmm... Perhaps better suited for Rael Time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stixx Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 I quiet often play battles between the 10,000 and 15,000pt mark and only ever against humans. The problem was not the force size but the CMBO mpa size! With increased CMBB map sizes i see no reason why 15,000 - 20,000 pt battles would not be feasible..

Voxman Posted October 1, 2002 Author Share Posted October 1, 2002 Hello Stixx, Interesting post. The thing I find strange is BTS was advertising CMBB as going to have upto 9000 QBs !! So what happened. A response from BTS would be appreciated. This would be a nice upgrade feature for the first CMBB patch.

Cameroon Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 Don't quote me, but here's a possibility; 5000 * 1.8 is 9000 points. Which would be what the attacker would get for a 5000 point assault (I think I got the force multiplier right). Perhaps that is what they are referring to with a 9000 point QB?

ParaBellum Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 Don't understand the problem. Just set up a QB, Sept '41, allied assault with 200% bonus and got 50000+pts (yes, 50.000) to spend. That should be enough for a division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K_Tiger Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 The maximum i got with a 41 QB scenario and 200% for an allied assault are 25800 points... Something is wrong with your calculation para.... Still a hugh force...you can start in the morning and you can make your next turn when your back from work.. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably with 50% set. Maybe there's a hard upper limit of 50,000? . In any case, that's a lot of points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew H. Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 25,800 is what I got, too, but I think it's correct. 200% means "multiply by 3." I don't know if you can actually *play* a scenario that large (I mean, I don't know if the game will let you). I did set up a 5000 point assault on a huge map; it's worth doing just to look at it - the map is more than 5km long, and about 1.5km wide.
