hellraiser Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Condor's axis is gonna kick the living sh*t out of me I guess ... but...let's try to find out how the game behaves in MP. House rules: 1. The use of transport boats for spotting is forbidden; 2. No DOW+landing the same turn rule; 3. Allies/axis are not allowed to DOW their neutral partners. Soft build limits enabled, weather enabled, FOW enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellraiser Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Turn 1 Condor breakthru in Poland - 2 units destroyed, another 2 cut off. Poles try to regroup and do some unsuccesful counters. Canada DOWs, Axis uboats raid. USSR gets some tech - production or something. Note: It appears it takes quite a long time to send the turns. We had one retrieval error so far - maybe connected with the fact that condor had the game alt-tabbed, dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blashy Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I HIGHLY suggest you play with the game as is before making house rules like rule #2. If you can't do that, then you SEVERLY hamper the game. Play the game before saying something is wrong. I know I would never play with that rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename Condor Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 there we go! Lets play this game see how it goes. Poland settings are OK, 2 corps destroyed and advancing towards capital that will fall on second turn and hopefully surrender. Turn 2. Poland and Denmark surrender. 1 UK cruisier sunk by subs and cruisiers trying to break thru North Sea. the other sub is raiding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonheart Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Blashy as long you keep the secret why you wont never play with that rule ppl will play the rules they think they are best suited. I would recommand you to tell them the truth not talking always in riddles ....you are betatester ..dont need any advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellraiser Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Turn 2 Poland surrenders, Denmark DOW-ed and surrenders. German navy engages the RN west of Norway - one RN ship lost, german navy badly damaged by the swarm allied ships. Note: some turns are sent very fast, some quite slow.

Blashy Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 It is not to keep an advantage, it is to give people a chance to discover the game on their own. Whatever advantage I have it will be done within 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonheart Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I just you see evertime crying when ppl wanna load tranports for sniffing or other odd sea acitivities...or rules for sea acivities.....this doesnt help them at all. Tell it or tell it not ...it will be unrevealed in any case....but i dont understand the sense in keeping it hidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzgndr Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Note: some turns are sent very fast, some quite slow. This is TCP/IP network game, yes? First turn data exchanges are a little longer, the rest are shorter. Let us know how things go! Obviously you both connected OK, and everything is pretty much the same as for SC1. FYI, the User Manual Updates and Errata file included with the game includes some additional troubleshooting information for network connections. If anyone has technical problems, there's the other SC2 forum to post comments on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellraiser Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Turn 3 LC occupied, naval battle continues - 1 sub sunk. Allies land a corps and capture kiel, hitting a LF. Army tries to land but can't land in Germany, only in Denmark Retrieval error again ... wtf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellraiser Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Managed to send the turn after all - it is taking a lot of time though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blashy Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 FYI, pbem files are 3 times bigger than the old SC files, so the data is probably bigger network wise. I had no issues but I only played on a LAN for network play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzgndr Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 FYI, the game generates an error log file and a saved game file when the game crashes. You may have some connection issues that Hubert would want to address. Dragonheart, play the game any way you want to and see what you can find. Then come back and tell us!

Plus, you can't upgrade them with the latest toys. And, if you tick the other guy off to much, he just might DOW you early and sink everything you've got at sea. It'll eventually come back to bite you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellraiser Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 another RN ship lost, another german cruiser destroyed. Axis advance in France, allies abandon M-line (probably it will piss off italy, but...) UK commandoes embark in Kiel and land near London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codename Condor Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Hmm winter is no good for attacking, low efectiveness. Uk troops in Kiel run away to London and the rest of my fleet (1 sub +1 cruisier) run to Iceland . 1 Uk BB sunk in the way. Carrier damaged to 5 ran away previous turn to cure the wounds. i didnt manage to get italy to enter war in this turn (November/December 39) and im only waiting for good weather to take Paris.

hellraiser Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Allies regrouped near Paris - badass tank inside the city. Italy still at 77. Stupid RN can't finish off a wounded cruiser USSR gets intelligence +1 Game is very slow - some turns take ages to be sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellraiser Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Second german crusier destroyed; Italy is rising fast, germans near Paris. Some counter aimed at a corps in front of the city. UK gets LR1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename Condor Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Many turns with very bad weather--> icy, so Paris is not falling as soon as expected, now its march 40 and italy just joined the war. My last cruisier was sunk near iceland and the sub managed to scape. Now i only have 2 subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
