Tanaka -> Late Turkey Diplomacy Broken? (3/17/2021 2:51:31 AM)

I have 5 chits of diplo in Turkey for all of 1944 and nothing has ever happened. Highly doubt my opponent is wasting any points on this as Russia is about to fall. I took the raise Turkey towards Axis side event vs MPPs. It has sat at 83% Axis for a year ever since despite 5 chits of diplo...

Gotta be a bug then?




OldCrowBalthazor -> RE: Late Turkey Diplomacy Broken? (3/17/2021 3:18:34 AM)

Yeah Tanaka, I've had a keen eye on that since early 44...and then when Sevastopol fell, I thought that would be the final trigger. I did put some MMP into diplo on that in 42 or 43 (I can check when I pull my turn)...after I figured you did. Weirdly, it was at 84% I believe then back slid in my favor for a bit...than crept back to 83% pro-axis...and stopped.

Possibly its a bug. Its seems I have read or heard about this issue before.




OldCrowBalthazor -> RE: Late Turkey Diplomacy Broken? (3/17/2021 6:35:37 AM)

Tanaka..I pulled my turn. So, yeah...Turkey was pro-Axis in the 75% and up to 83% range for some time. When we were having that big fight in the Caucasus and Iran, I had the USA drop 150 MMP's in diplo on Turkey..got a hit, and dumped 50 more MMP's. I still had Sevastopol, but when it finally went down later on...Turkey's pro-axis mobilization never budged. I though the fall of Sevastopol created a scripted percentage range boost on Turkeys mobilization.

I'm not sure what is going on..but I was watching Turkey like a hawk...especially with those crazy running battles in Soviet and Iranian Azerbaijan. This can't be bad luck on your diplo checks I think. Again, I'm not sure..but I have been taking notes all along on this match of ours..and definitely something seems wonky here.

BillRunacre -> RE: Late Turkey Diplomacy Broken? (3/17/2021 10:03:11 AM)

There are two scripts that can move Turkey towards the Axis that are related to Axis advances to, and the capture of, Sevastopol or other locations. I've pasted them below for reference.

It's probable that the first has already fired in your game, whereas the second one only has a one-off 50% chance of firing (as the Turks may well be indifferent to further advances).

If you are both investing in diplomacy with Turkey then the actual chance of the Axis moving Turkey further that way is the difference between Axis and Allied investments, bearing in mind that the US chits have more sway than anyone else's: 7% chance per chit per turn, as opposed to 5%.

So you might need to compare how many chits you both have invested, and by whom, to work out the real per turn chance of Turkey being swayed further by diplomacy.

OldCrowBalthazor -> RE: Late Turkey Diplomacy Broken? (3/17/2021 10:30:13 AM)

Hmmm...Interesting. So, its possible my USA diplo efforts on Turkey might of stopped the Germans cold then. Tanaka piled 5 on so he's at 25%. There was no Japanese or Italian diplo if I remember correctly and my 4 USA diplo chits on Turkey equals 28%. On top of that, when Sevastopol fell, the RNG goddess rolled bad numbers for the Germans.

Well, I will be interested to hear what Tanaka has seen or done from his p.o.v. about this matter.

Thanks, Bill for the script view and your explanations.

Basically, it was a matter of throwing a bad dice roll on the Craps Table for Tanaka. [:D]

This never made sense to me but if you want to move Turkey to Axis Sealion. Not sure its worth it with US & SU mobilization moves. Turkey on Axis side a big deal tho.

Same here. Frankly, I've come to the conclusion that if playing as Germany and you really want Turkey as an ally, then you'd be better off playing the World War One iteration of this game. [:(]

That does make me laugh, but in all seriousness, do you think there's an issue that we should address here?

@BillyR --- On this issue, nah. Not for me. But I can only speak for myself.

I believe all events have fired and I have put 5 chits into Turkey via Germany after and nothing...

Not really. After the humiliating beating and break-up Turkey took in the Great War I could see where it should be extremely difficult to coax them into another.[;)]

Well, it seems when you finally took Sevastopol, you had a bad roll. There's a 50% chance the Turks didn't hit. When you got within 1 hex of Sevastopol with your Rumanians, there was the first hit. I saw Turkey jump to well over 55% pro-axis...so I put USA on the job by spending on MMP's on them...3 chits worth. The next turn, one more.

When you took the triggers on your push into the Caucasus, like Grozny for example, I noticed Turkey going up to near 83%. A year later when you finally took Sevastopol, you must of failed the RNG roll...so it stayed at 83%...

I still have the 4 USA chits in Turkey, which equals 28%.....so nullifies Germany's 5 chits at 25%....
At least, that is my understanding now, especially after reviewing the script and looking at my timeline notes of our match. Still..I would like confirmation that what I am surmising here is correct. [:)]

Not to mention what the turkey muck does to those fashionable high heels. [X(]


I've noticed the former German battlecruiser Goeben (Yavuz) is still present in the Turkish navy in SC2. Unfortunately, it seems to be the only naval unit the Turks have at their disposal at start. Those postwar years must have been tough.
