Self Write WW2

[Destroyer25]

LOLWTF? GOLD MINES IN A WW2 MAP? Thats the first thing I said when I saw faction's WW2. Its horrible, terrain is disgusting, its freaking tiny. Its time for a new WW2 map. I am 1 of the top A&A players so I want it to be similar. A nice big map with detailed terrain. Then each country gets different units with different strengths. Germany>Everyone. While it sounds imbalanced its not. A small country may be weak but they must use diplomacy to their advantage. Take Greece, Small country, small army. 75k in WW2, however it can use diplomacy to their advantage. Yugoslavia and the Eastern Balkans(Hungry, Bulgaria, Romania) would most likely seek to destroy the other simply because they are close. Greece could be the deciding factor in the battle. Germany could easily crush small France or Poland but he doesn't want to fight a 2 front war. Even the big countries will need to use diplomacy and negotiation to win rather than shear military strength. And again, in 1940 French tanks>German tanks, British Tanks=German tanks(more or less). Germany too will have to make allies to win. Italy not being desirable not being incredibly close but useful later as Libya is the gateway to Egypt and the oil fields.
What I really need is a goooood terrainer. I like detail and accuracy and I could also use some help with Unit data simply cuz its long and boring. =P
Triggers wont be a problem since its not historical.
Feedback plz.

USSR will be on the map, but thruthfully in 1939 USSR=10 000s of old artillery guns, 20 000 shit tanks, 5000 obsolete planes and millions of untrained conscripts. As Russia making an alliance with finland seems rather pointless since you'd want a better ally so he would be your 1st target. But Finish terrain+winter>Russia. Finland will be very difficult to take.

btw, as people of countries, conquered by nazi hated them, you can add special spawn points for rebels/partisans, which will spawn after Germany captures the piece of land - this will a little compensate Germany's strength
and
vast territory + ppl fighting for an idea + Ural's factories > finland =))) although yeah, the factories started in like 1940-1941, so in 1939 USSR was in bad condition

Dude all your suggestions are ones that would be used in A&A. This is non historical. I not gonna have spec events or anything.

Yeah, that's true, Destroyer, but wouldn't you be pissed if some foreign dudes came in and took over your town? And normally when armies first start, they aren't mega good supplied.

well, in fact germany was mega good supplied at the begging of blitz-krig. thats why it needs smth like population resistance or smth. cut-off lines of supply, sabotaged communication lines and other fruit of partisan war were one of the factors that turned the tide in WW2, in fact

I dont want partisans, thats just a feature that I dont really care about. And starting armies will be appropriate according to history.

and how are you going to balance germany's might? it was the most poweful country in europe 'till 1942

 

[Destroyer25]

I already told you that you need to make allies to win. People obviously realize that Germany is a threat and people will have to make allies with or against the stronger players. Also the late game powers are all weak in some way. Germany's tanks were inferior to French ones in 1940. Russia's inf will be crappy but cheap and will suffer from the same problems as Italy. A lot of crappy equipment, or at least till late 1941. Plus German stuff will obviously be very expensive, the good tanks that is. GB will be the strongest nation at the start simply because he will get the commonwealth too. Meaning they will have tons of reserves and gold. But his starting AF and ground forces will be very small. While Germany will have mass tanks but would have no chance of beating French ones. Also I'll make things easy for some nations by giving them their def lines: France gets Maginot and Mareth, Germany Siegfried, Finland Mannerheim, Russia Stalin line (wasn't much of a line but will include bunkers here n there), Greece Mexatas, Italy will get bunkers around Bardia and Tobruk and Norway will have a few bunkers at their ports.
