If there is someone out there that likes the idea, has ideas and really knows to work with the scripts and wants to contribute, please post here or send me a PM.

Happy to advise on event scripts - they are actually not that difficult once you get the hang of them. But I can't commit to writing any. (I am actually tempted to write a "how to" somewhere...)

Hi The Land,

Thanks, better an adviser that making them all solo.

I have been changing the 1939 scenario for personal use, and testing it in a somewhat dispersed way. But one thing is to change, other is to build almost from zero, and I am a bit "scared", due my lack of experience in this field.

I think that for 1985 the only scripts that are exactly equal will be the ones will be the ones that allow the Axis to pass Gibraltar (now converted to the Soviet Bloc) and the ones for the hexes in the Pacific/USA/Mexico/Canada to allow the players to move from one corner of the map to the other.

So, maybe we can do this together, I post my doubt, and you answer and then you can include that answer in that “how to”.

I think this tool that is the editor is being under used, I mean we can do almost any game out of it using the World Map. From WW3 back to the Age of Discoveries, with Spain and the Habsburgs fighting against France, Netherlands and England all around the globe; The Seven Years War; the Napoleonic Wars; the Crimean war; WWI…

Maybe we can use this thread initially for generic/basic questions: https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4789903

And then PM/email for more specific ones for the 1985 scenario.

Status: offline 		Furthermore, one thing is bugging me, and it is essential for the scenario how I envisioned it for now:

The scenario will begin with China and India as majors and just slightly pro-Soviet. But I intend that both can’t enter in the war on the same side. So at least one will change sides (it will have to be something like Italy in the 1939 scenario).

Is this idea achievable with scripts?


Edit: Also the idea is when one moves in one direction (due to diplomatic efforts), the other moves in the opposite one (with Pakistan also in the balance, pro-China, but that begins slightly pro-USA).

This makes the players think wisely if they bet their chits in China or in India, with all the consequences.

Not direclty realted but a similar thing needs to be done about Israel. When the USA supports Israel (that is a major) with MPPs, the Arab countries move to the Soviets.

Majors switching sides is challenging - beyond what I've done so far but interesting to try. Different countires moving different directions based on decisions is fairly easy though.

I'm planning to do an AAR/guide type thread which should help!

Ok. Good to know that it is possible.

And I will wait for the guide! Thanks.

Btw, sent you a PM.
