Has the French AI been improved ?

Does the German AI (possibly the AI in general) use Tac Air ?

Are commanders working/(not) assigned as intended at the beginning of scenarios ?

We have worked a little bit on the French AI before the release of Matrix version:

JMass, we are taking a look at this at the moment.

For me when playing Axis in the 1940 scenario (1.03) as soon as the Germans get to the French/Belgian border the French run for the Atlantic Coast totally abandoning any defensive line between the Germans and Paris.

Anguille, didn't you do it for yourself? (I'm sure somebody asked me how to do it)

What values have you entered there?

Indeed it was me. I like the fact that i can do it myself. However i have to do it after each patch (not really a problem but i guess there are some who don't even ask how to do it). I think i put 3 points to each and its fine.

So I bought this game a few weeks ago and found it to be very hard which never happends to me. Will there be a way in the new mod to turn off the end date. It is almost impossible to get a atomic bomb for any country. Will there be a game or mod that will use this system for the entire war?

Hi,

Changing the end date is very easy.
Go to the folder of the scenario you would like to play (all scenarios are located at /data/scenarios/), open the info.ini file. At the bottom of this file you will find entry about number of turns for this scenario. Just change it and play.

Do you have a link to the instructions. I would really like to make the text more readable on my netbook.

I've been able to fumble around and change everything I need except fo the yellow text unit names underneath the unit icons. Can you tell me which line in the file changes that?

Thanks for your help.

Is there a difference between the Matrix version and the same game bought from somewhere else? What if I purchased the game from Wasteland or from GameStop? Are all these the same games and versions?

Thanks,

Alan

This is the only difference ATM. However with the release of 1.04 (next week probably) all versions will be completely equal.

Hi,

Any ctd bug fixes in this build? I have posted on the forums about my reproducible ctd bug, and I realize I'm running Win8 which isn't specifically supported, but just checking - hoping to be able to play this game soon w/o having to rebuild one of my machines back to W7. I tried running the game via a W7 x64 Ultimate vhd on Virtual Box, but couldn't get it to run either (menu screen pops up, but the game .exe won't run)

Thanks again!

Wes

Not sure if it's a bug, but I noticed you cannot purchase research beyond the 3rd light bulb. You have to wait until the final one runs out.

What would be really sweet would be to have as much of the consts.ini file as possible turned country specific. That way things like TOE, unit strength, leader effects, etc, could vary country-by-country.

Also, back to the research issue mentioned above. Maybe I don't understand how it works. Is it supposed to be 100 points per bulb? If so, when you purchase increases, the price of the next stays the same. Again, if I'm reading it right, if you wait until the bulb is almost full, you can purchase the other two very cheaply.

Yeah, I definitely don't get this. Because when you reach three lightbulbs and gain a level, further increases stop. You have to then buy another bulb to get the process going.

I should think all tech areas would continually increase on their own. And the player could purchase increases at the cost of PPs. Something seems broken here.

?
