Rdent Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Okay so the war goes badly for the allies and German armies are occupying the eastern USA and a beachhead of Japanese Imperialists is pushing towards Denver in the west. The Japanese force is in need of tanks to break through but is unable to attain this aspect because the Germans on the west are left sitting a few tanks on the three loop arrows that don't seem to function Why these loop conditions don't work like transferring naval assets from the pacific and it takes all 4 or five units lined up on the loop arrows I'll never know. I do know that in the present form with loop conditions the Germans will never get their land units over to the west coast without first taking the Suez and transporting through. I submit the endgame is broken at this point due to unrealistic and scarce loop markers and conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fintilgin Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Yeah, I have to say it's a little frustrating that we got a global game where the map doesn't scroll-loop seemlessly when reaching the edge, creating a 'cylinder' of sorts. I imagine the engine wasn't originally built to support it, but it does seem like the sort of feature that really should have made it into a full-price release of a truly global game. The arrows are a bit of an awkward 'hack'. I suspect the best we can hope for in this vein is that if there is a SC3 then looping maps are built in to the engine at the start regardless of if the initial scenario will use them, so that we don't have issues like this.

John DiFool the 2nd Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 If the US has been invaded on both coasts you're wayyy past the endgame (tho I do on occasion like to inflict such humiliations on the AI, if it has been especially annoying during the game). The word I've gotten in such situation is that the arrows are country-specific in some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsmm Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 John's right the arrows only work for the US. Just like the naval loops on the west coast (SC PT) only worked for US, and some what for Canada. I think there were some problems for the Canadians using the loops though...

acrashb Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 John's right the arrows only work for the US. That explains a few things. Quite irritating. Now I have to load up the amphib transports and go around the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
