Wonder if more then a TV is possible in this scenario?? :grumpy Yes it is possible. I guess most people have a bigger army at this point and with around 20 more units it becomes easier to hold the line and later advance northwards along the whole front. Also, attachments are expensive and especiall...

When all leg units would have mountain ability then there would be no distinction between standard and specialized units :dunno Also i think mountain leader is not realistic for tanks or halftrack units, but that something else... Only infantry class can get the mountain training leader anyway. See ...

Dimitris GR wrote: ↑2025-05-19 16:18, Monday It would be nice the designer of an efile to give units the mountain ability. Is it possible?

Yes it is possible. Which units do you think of?

Thanks everyone for sharing your opinion. Option B it is then

That's also what i prefer since I think it is more interesting.
And the maps are prettier

hoza wrote: ↑2025-05-10 06:23, Saturday To make it more difficult for you I prefer A.

Actually it is easier because I don't have to change anything

It's just that there is not enough scenario slots to have both options at the same time. Maybe we can get some more opinions in

I have a question for the people that play the Weltkrieg campaign. Which of the two options do you like more? Option A: - Have an additional winter scenario against the Soviets at the end of 1944. - Keep the proto choice before Operation Sealion 1945 at 5 different protos. Or Option B: - Get rid of ...

Man, this freecol / Colonization game really puts my OG career on hold :bonk I finaly found a good map and, playing with Sweden, got a good game running. Now I am slowly nearing the final fight against the King and the end of the game, but with so many cities and settlers turns take a very long time...

The russians can embark. I sunk an embarked AD unit in turn 7. I will send you a picture by e-mail because I do not know how to attach it here. And I thought that motorboats could not conquer ports!? :grumpy Ah yes, there was a misunderstanding. The enemy can not actively embark units like the play...

Then I know what happened. The enemy has no naval transports and can not embark units. But the motorboats captured the port/supply hex and the enemy bought a ground unit and deployed it using the SH. Then the ground unit captured the nearby VH. The enemy gets some turn prestige and used it to buy th...

Happy Eastern everyone!

The Brandenburger captured the resupply port and reconquered the VH Taganrog. Wonder if this was really necessary because normal victory conditions of SSI only request that you must conquer all enemy VH while holding at least only one of your owns? :grumpy So the enemy captured the port/supply hex ...

But you played the Case Blue scenario already if i remember correctly?

hoza wrote: ↑2025-04-17 13:59, Thursday the Kamikaze speed boats (which cannot be seen in the Suite!?)

When you open the scenario in Suite it does not look like this? There are three fast attack craft and six suicide motorboats.

Yes, OpenTTD, a great game

You can also add more trains or specific sets of trains and more industries and other add-ons like this to the game. Good stuff

I think the next scenario, Case Blue, will be all new for you?! I hope you'll like it

I saw a missing file from my ATOMIC efile on your list but now the entry is gone :huh Anyway, one should always use the latest version of the efile, downloadable from dropbox. The version that comes with the game is not supported and must be very old. I asked to take it down a long time (must be yea...

How about a staged release? :dunno If players complete a scenario each day it takes months to complete the campaign. I would happily play the new early scenarios and you can keep playtesting and modifying the later scenarios. You will never finish the campaign because you will always be improving i...

I am also working to add more after scenario texts with historic WW2 situation maps and short informations about the battles. I don't know if players read this but i really want to create the best playing experience ever

When can we expect the new release of weltkreig? After a 6 week holiday I am eager to play but I have played the current release enough times. Looking forward to some changes :cool I am happy to hear that you like the campaign :banana I finished building the next scenario, using the new Vyazma map....

I made a big mistake :lol I started playing Free Col / Colonization again and now I am addicted again :lol And I never finish the game (which ends with the independence of the colonies after a revolutionary war). When I am close to the end I simply start a new game because I think I can do better - ...

I'll figure out how to fix this, unless someone wants to go over the mapx file and update Gilestiel's depository. You can easily fix the names in your scenario. Basically you can fix any data from the map/mapx file in your scenario. Names, terrain, roads, etc. Sometimes errors happen when creating ...

Thank you very much

Thank you

:howdy No, no --> I'm talking about a map made completely from scratch, on a different scale than the previous one. All the glory to you (Zorin only made this non-standard, autumn landscape) How long did you work on this map? - you considered "mud roads", right? The oringinal map had a mu...

Quite a nice map :clap What scale did you use? (km/hex) Thank you! I used the grafics of map 741 by Andrey Zorin. So shout-out to him :yes The scale of my map is around 1,9km for the width of one hex. See the 0 in the center and that there are almost 2km to the left in one hex: https://i.imgur.com/...

Another map is finished:

Number: 1593
Name: Vyazma (3K)
Location: Russia
Period: WWII
Map size: 3150;3000

Please keep in mind that you not only have to add the nations flags but also the pictures for dossier medal dossier portrait inspect leader inspect medal roundel to the various files found in the opendat folder of the efile. When editing the files make sure they always have the correct width in pixe...

There are many such (very old) bugs at mapfinder. Maps assigned to a wrong country or split into several countries or assigned to entities that are not even a country. For example, Midway is part of the British Virgin Islands. Borneo (not a country) shows the flag of Brunei. And so on... When i subm...

I can confirm the bug reported by none, using the latest version of OG from 1 February 2025.

EDIT: I don't know why i did not notice it before

I am curious to see with what you come up with regarding the maps :cool - In short, you're a real godsend! :notworthy Thank you :cheers I only wish I would not have wasted so much time with small maps at the beginning of my map making career :lol Pearl Harbor was my first 3K map, a map you requested...

(How many trees does a hex need to be declared as "forest"?) The eternal question :lol I try to be more precise nowadays, but it is not easy and takes a lot of time to check every hex again and again and add a tree here and there to make it more clear. Especially in some older maps of min...

Do you have your latest efile version for download? I'd like to take a peek and see which of my maps you use and how you use them. For me that's always very interesting to see!

I think there is a misunderstanding. For the new 15+ leaders something has to be set in suite right?
So no old campaign will give you more than 15 leaders!

Please no more changes! We experience some serious bugs lately and with every change people ask it gets worse

It works

Thank you Luis

Same here! I'm not a developer and have no right to ask for anything. But boy! how I wish to play a long campaign without leaders and protos :nods What about leaders that are given to the player by the designer :naughty It is possible to deactivate leaders for certain classes in the campaign cfg fi...

Sounds promising! Because most of the aux units are not visible at deployment. They are nowhere to be seen. Fingers crossed :ihope :yes I was right, the choice's map size was responsible for the crash, when some unit deployed was out of the choice's map area. :banana That explains why it did not ha...

:idea Browsing the code I think that I've found which, probably, is the reason of the crashing, after a choice scenario. Maybe the choice's map size is kept when loading units, instead of updating the size to the proper one, and then some units are not properly configured as the loader assume they ...

I made some tests with LXF and the "We search for ways" campaign and the choice scenarios work fine. And the crashes i experience after a choice scenario with Atomic only started to happen with the newest version of OG. Honestly, it is very frustrating because I don't see where I made a mi...

As reported before, I have the same problem, but only in a scenario directly after a choice scenario. After deployment the game immediately crashes to the desktop. This started to happen after the update to the newest version of OG. Since nobody seems to play other campaigns with choice scenario I w...

Just a quick intermezzo. This one was a request from Matze, a clean ocean map without land:

Number: 1597
Name: Ocean (3K)
Location: Not Applicable
Period: WWII/Modern
Map size: 3150;3000

What happens if I keep win10 on my desktop PC?
My old laptops use win7 and they still run without problems.

I think there is a misunderstanding. Please correct me, but i think the size of the user interface, menu, buttons, windows and panels always stays the same - no matter the resolution setting. It is just that for example in the game the map becomes bigger with a bigger resolution and more hex are vis...

Is a great battle. I think maybe from add exp to enemy units, maybe some reinforcements from south make this more tricky. :huh Good idea. I had already edited some enemy units but I will keep your idea in mind and first see how it goes next time. Battle of Novgorod '43 Because I very much love the ...

Battle of Arkhangelsk At HQ i bought attachments only in anticipation of the Panther A coming next scenario. After deployment I sent my paratroopers and 1/3 of the ground units to the north, the rest to the south. Some of the northern group's naval transports disembarked very late but in close dist...

Battle of the White Sea At HQ I bought only attachments. After deployment I sent my army southwards along the coast while the paratroopers flew to the very southeast. The ships and marines operated on the Solovetsky Islands (site of the first Gulag) at the edge of the map. Due to the rough arctic t...

There's a new proto choice prior to the Steppe Blitz scenario. The player has the choice between a Italian bomber or fighter or a Romanian combat support SPAT. All units come with 12sp. I am sure there's a new bug and that's why the choice scenarios do not work anymore, so I directly linked the camp...

I also noticed that one of my icons is used for 4 different units, but it should be used for one. Anyone know how to filter or sort by icon used in the OpenSuite editor? I really don't feel like browsing through a few hundred units for Poland... Tools -> Reports -> Icons Report You can show one lin...

Battle of Tanganyika II At HQ i bought attachments only. I want to keep the prestige for upgrades in the next scenarios. Deployment on the mainland is limited and the rest of my army had to sail in from Zanzibar. The enemy is aggressive and attacking our VHs along the coast while enemy paratroopers...

Battle of Tanganyika I At HQ i tweaked attachments, bought an artillery and upgraded two infantries. After some turns I bought another recon plane. Deployment is limited until the player captures on of the ports of Zanzibar. So I deployed two small groups of units in the north and south. The northe...
