Go to the build limit of the nation/s that you want to change. campaign/country data/edit unit build data
For the number added per Amphib level increase: as above but go to edit research/advanced/upgrades/automatic increments/(select transport, amphib or LR amphib/click amphib warfare/change the build limit
You'll need to apply that the the nations you want to change or use the Apply Data button to do it en masse (but be careful with that)

The addition per level is added each time you get another level of amphib warfare, so not for what you want. Go to the build limit of the nation/s that you want to change. campaign/country data/edit unit build data. I assume this is for a custom campaign - you can't change it for the main campaigns except by increasing amphib warfare tech (or using other nationalities, as Duedman said)

Hello again. My research level for mobility and amphibious warfare have been maxed out for both nations so it's not a research limitation. Yes it is a custom campaign (the 1939 one with simultaneous turns, nothing else changed). So back to my previous question, increasing built limits doesn't give me the option to have more LR amphibious ships per turns until I land the existing ones. How can I surpass this limitation? I don't want to add to Germany or Italy build option for LR amphibious ships, name them etc. since that was not intended by the game designer for Axis (it shows 0 in the editor) so I want to leave it as is.

I don't entirely follow. Are you saying you haven't increased the build limits in the build limit options? That is the most likely way to give you more LR amphibs. Though I have never tested increasing the limits that high so can't say for sure whether it will work.

Also, 25 units conducting an amphibious assault is quite a lot, I doubt you would need more even for an assault on North America.

I did the following: for Germany and Italy I selected "edit research/advanced/upgrades/automatic increments/LR amphib/warfare/change the build limit" and changed it from 1 to 10. I applied the settings for these 2 nations and saved the campaign. When I start it and try to select LR Amphibious Transport it still shows 0.

In the 1939 campaign, the Germans start with a BL of 3 transports, 2 amphib and 0 LR amphib. Each level of amphib warfare gives an automatic increment of 0 transports, 1 amphib and 1 LR amphib (as well as a range of other combat benefits). If you are at max amphib warfare, the Germans should be able to put to sea 3 transports, 7 amphib and 5 LR amphib. The Italians start with 3-1-0 and increment according to their amphib warfare level. German minor allies like Romania start with 1-1-0 and (I assume) increment at the same rate as the Germans (parent). Of course, all these limitations are meant to represent the lack of transports that were physically available. Unless you want to fiddle around with increasing the build limits, I don't think you can achieve what you seem to want.

[Edit] Did a quick test with Germans given BL of 20 LR transports and 5000 MPPs. I placed corps around each port. As long as they have the MPPs and there is space to launch (sea hexes within a hex of the port seems to be the rule, they could get all their corps (12) to sea. They could do all of them if there were more ports for them in turn 1 w/o doing more hex editing.

[Edit}: I just read this properly!

The increment won't occur until level 1 (or higher) is achieved and then it should increment by 10.

Any changes will not affect games that have been started - you have to start a new campaign, unfortunately. If you do, then you will see the number at 0 to start with, then go to 10 at level 1 amphib, then 20 and so on to 50 at level 5. If the game starts with German already on level 5, they should be able to launch 50 amphibs if they have the space and MPPs (and units, of course) and their BL has been increased to 50 - that takes precedence.

So there are is nothing that can be done with the campaign in progress?? Too bad. I hope that I won't get destroyed in my first landing until the second wave is ready and shipped to the US coast...

Apparently the entire scenario is compressed into any given save game, scripts as well, so no, any changes made in the editor won't affect current games. [Await the devs' comments on this for the final say tho]

I have another question: out of the blue on 9/1943 while Italy's morale is 60% and no Allied Force attacked Europe, Italy surrenders and I lose all my Italian troops. No big deal territorial wise since I have troops in Italy, France, Tunisia, Greece, and Middle East and get everything back but I lose 30-40% of my forces. This is definitely a strange AI decision (DE) that I must deactivate and reload the last saved game. Do you know by chance which one is it?

There are 3 Surrender_2 scripts for Italy.

1) Is triggered by DE 674 when Italy's NM is below 20%
2) Is triggered by DE 371 when Italy's NM is below 1%
3) Makes Italy surrender on its historical surrender date, and only when playing against the Allied AI.

So it would appear to be 3), except that this is switched OFF by default, so I wonder if you may have turned it ON at some point via the Options screen?

It can be turned on/off by going to Options -> Advanced -> Scripts -> Surrender_2 and checking/unchecking the one called #NAME= ALLIED AI: Italy Surrenders (Italy -> USA) (50%)
