ATOMIC WELTKRIEG (New OG Player)

Post by eskuche »

Hi all,
Longtime genre fan, fairly new to OG (played half of a Japan campaign about a year ago). I joined the discord, and randowe suggested I also keep track of my progress in atomic weltkrieg. House rules for fun: no/minimal reloads (only for technical issues). More importantly, one of each unit only, as a challenge mode from Panzer Corps! This gives me a chance to try out all the fancy units here. Also will try to develop my units into a somewhat coherent OOB of two corps, and airborne brigade, and support units over the campaign. PS just noticed I have two grenadiers, will change one to motorized infantry now :irate

Note I chose 3 liberator heroes; this will allow me some flex room with slightly more prestige, as well as an additional puzzle to get those units to all the flags. I have one CS on a recon Bf110 fighter and upgraded one initial Italian recon to a CS recon. Otherwise, investing heavily in schwere artillery.

AAR: Played safe first 4 turns to shoot down all enemy fighters. Sacrificed the Italian aux ships to bait enemy ships into range. All objectives except bottom right two islands captured with liberator recon! The subs were quite annoying, but two torpedo seaplanes temporarily added to core helped a lot.

Nope! I just went to the east and landed there. I am trying my hardest not to spend money building...

Crete...I hate Crete. I shuffled around some prestige to purchase (hopefully temporarily) Graf Zeppelin and another seaborne scout and another recon Schnellboot. Same-prestige upgraded to a naval Bf-109. Playing this blind, and with estimated 14% enemy naval presence, I'm somewhat apprehensive here. I keep some prestige up for possibly another naval purchase. Yellow are liberator recon paths. Red circles are anticipated enemy naval assets. Red stars are (upper) potential airfield build location and (lower) first capture airfield, depending on enemy presence there.

Turn 2 beginning and end. It looks like there was an opening for brandenburgers to drop in and take the airfield, releasing all of my air force and allowing for a stable beachhead. Was very careful to be out of range of the cruisers in bay.

Nothing particularly of note for Dardanelles. We have access to a dirt airstrip, so I sold the Graf Zeppelin complement, bought Dicker Max and one more fighter, a recon, and bit the bullet for a Bismarck, seeing as how we seem to be getting nonstop naval deployment missions! Reading forward from Randowe's latest playthrough, I will try to...not let Goehring represent too much of our core :lol

Re: ATOMIC WELTKRIEG (New OG Player)

Post by eskuche »

After some reading of AARs, I have decided to challenge myself a bit more...I am adding some difficulty :deal mostly so I can experience all the wonderful less expensive units in the efile.

Image
The original settings were 15% experience loss (40% experience gain still at 4 bars) and no upgrade penalty.
I hope the experience decrease works as I think, e.g., 88% decreased experience gain at 4 bars. The 20% experience lost with upgrade will mean it's very much harder to keep 5 bar units around. I hope, however, that this doesn't mean I will have negative experience gain at 5 bars...guess we will see how Luis programmed it! In my experience in other games, the player should reach peak experience with only a portion of the core forces towards the end of the campaign. Having maxed out experience 20% of the way through the campaign in my above run seemed a little off.

I am also adding in a 50% player prestige to spice it up even more (I love making a puzzle out of liberator units...).
Cheers! :evil

20 is the highest number when setting the experience regression. You can always check the sample text files for campaigns and efiles in the game's OPENTXT_SAMPLE folder. But I guess you did that already to find the other setting.
I keep the setting in mind for the hardcore version of the campaign (If I ever get to do it :lol ). I think 19% will do. The campaign is so long, all unit will get 5 bars anyway me thinks.
exp_bar_factor=0
* factor to decrease experience gained in combat according bars (0..20)
* default 0, no reduction
* set 10 to get 90,80,70,60,50 for 1,2,3,4,5 bars.
* Set 20 to get 80,60,40,30,0 for 1,2,3,4,5 bars.
* values higher than 20 will be set as 20
With the 50% you mean the overall prestige setting that is set at the start of the campaign? Can it be changed after starting a campaign?

In any case - have fun!! :cool :cool :cool

I started over! Thank you for this information above...I couldn't find this easily. Unfortunately, yes I think experience will still be a bit high; IMHO letting it be exponential rather than linear is probably a better way to go, but it seems hardcoded.

After Albania...

Generally a unit gains most experience when it also takes a lot of damage or weak units fighting strong units. Later in the campaign you will notice that it is much easier for a weak tank to gain experience than for a strong tank.

I observed this mostly with infantry, gaining 150exp in just one fight sometimes. For example, inflict 8 damage on the enemy but also take 7 damage itself. That's why it is so easy to train infantry (on minefields!) or units in general.

But that is just my observation, as you know I am not so deep in the formulas :) I hope the exp regression will help to slow the process down at least a little bit in Weltkrieg.

Interesting, so similar to PC. I should dive into those formulas just a bit. For the record, here is the standard XP progression in PC.

ExpGrowRate0 100
ExpGrowRate1 50
ExpGrowRate2 25
ExpGrowRate3 12
ExpGrowRate4 6
ExpGrowRate5 3

If Luis is reading... ;) you could consider such a change, which would be a very small change to the current linear regression formula. Of course, would have to keep track if experience is stored as decimals or rounded up/down.
