Miss_Foxy · Feb 6, 2011

What's LOME?

Miss_Foxy said:

Cities gives you income yes..

Fingolfin · Feb 6, 2011

LOME is short for "lords of middle earth".

Is that a wc3 map? If so I can't find it.
First I thought he ment the game, but that's called "The Battle for Middle Earth".

What are you two talking about?

you.

Hugomath · Feb 7, 2011

Lol Vuorma xD.

Here.

Miss_Foxy · Feb 7, 2011

Oh! Would the cities' income system take up a lot of memory in the game?

Fingolfin · Feb 7, 2011

I'm not sure what kind of system you're talking about. We have not decided about anything else than the basic small/med/large cities for now. Systems generally don't take any space though.

Hugomath · Feb 8, 2011

I was wondering how would the P. 1500 Monster be built? Would it be on a common factory, or the German player would have to build some sort of specialized building?

Hey, did any of you believed on that link in my sig saying "World in Flames 0.1 Beta Download"? xD

Btw, 500th post :]

Lol, i just had to ckick it

What if i would have gotten do download the beta?! ;O

Anyways, we're not quite sure as to wether or not we should include the superheavies, There are numerous gameplay issues we'd have to edal with, including the fact that the terrain would have to be adapted for them to travel. If we decide to make them however, it would be really cool if the monster would be built as a structure of it's own, on hte battlefield, and then become a unit once it is finished.

WOWWARS · Feb 8, 2011

Poor Towns : Give a good amount of man power but little resources

Medium Towns : Medium gives more income than poor towns but not larger than rich and do not give as much as man power.

RICH Towns: less likely anyone will go to war from those towns but give the most resources

I want this to be like a Town System if your country goes into war or collaspe you'll start seeing rich towns go poorer and most will be dragged into war or homeless

Fingolfin · Feb 8, 2011

Sounds like an interresting concept. We'll see how we choose to evolve the town system further on.

Miss_Foxy · Feb 9, 2011

What's the size of the file currently?

Vuormalainen · Feb 9, 2011

Miss_Foxy said:

5,11 MB, why?

Miss_Foxy · Feb 10, 2011

Wow. It's incredible, with so many features, the Blizzard limit still isn't a barrier

Fingolfin · Feb 10, 2011

I agree, it is very fortunate we've been able to keep it down, but making the map 8mb is also not an option since no one would be able to make 10 players join the game and make them all stay long enough to download such a monster.

James7 · Feb 10, 2011

Looks amazing. Can't wait to try it

.

Hugomath · Feb 10, 2011

I was looking at the Units on the website, and I came with the idea that the German Pz. IV should have increased range on Allied medium tanks. I'd say, 310 or 320 (though would match the StuG in range, lol). Either increase Panzer's attack range, or decrease T-34's and M4's.

why?

Hugomath · Feb 10, 2011

Because Panzer's IV cannon could reach furthest than other Allied tanks.

Nevermind that anyway.

Well, of course we wan't to keep the game historically correct, but in terms of units - well balanced. Therefore tank destroyers will go with the highest range. Although some small changes may be possible. We have as said mostly tried Soviets and Finland alone.

Miss_Foxy · Feb 11, 2011

Will stuff like air strikes be able to be 'casted'? Like, if you have enough planes, it'll send them there to drop all their bombs and automatically go back instead of having to micro every single one of them.

James7 · Feb 11, 2011

Or they could do the Axis and Allies system. Where planes just turn around when they run out of fuel.

Miss_Foxy · Feb 12, 2011

Is there South Korea and North Korea by the way?

Either you're just stupid or hunting post count again.
You asked Fingolfin to update the 1st post several times, but never actually read it?

"Playable factions:

Soviet Union
Great Britain (African)
Great Britain (European)
Italy
Germany
Finland
Imperial Japan
USA (Atlantic)
USA (Pacific)
China"

Yeah, we've thought of ways to automize the airplane movement, and most propably they will become uncontrollable and return to the nearest allied airport when they run out of fuel. It might lead to awkward situations when flying over enemy territory, but at least it is better than exploding.

omg its james

Miss_Foxy · Feb 13, 2011

I don't mean as playable factions, I mean like, will they be involved in any way (Events, etc.)?

Fingolfin · Feb 13, 2011

Well, the korean penisula will exist, as the main stronghold for japanese forces in china. There will be no events though i think. We still haven't decided much about their future anyways.

Hugomath · Feb 13, 2011

China could receive Korean guerrillas to fight against the Japanese, according to history. Although would depend if the Chinese player would still be at war against Japan.

ps: Fingolfin got the 1337th post

Excellent

WOWWARS · Feb 14, 2011

Though the planes might be a problem since what if theres a AA near the air base?

Vuormalainen · Feb 14, 2011

I suggest we do it the way that planes would automatically return to closests airport indeed but can also move to other positions ordered by the player, when they reach that position however, they go to the closest airport again. But also possible to manually move it to another airport. That's how it's done in RUSE and it works very well

edit:
Oh and yea, have a look at the very bottom of THW!

James7 · Feb 15, 2011

Wow world in flames has an ad at the bottom haha.

Miss_Foxy · Feb 15, 2011

Awesome, it's listed as a site!

Fingolfin · Feb 15, 2011

OMG that is so cool!

and LOL!! Vuorma did those rounded edges again, haha. That is so him.
