If you guys are brave enough, we could do this on TripleA 1.6 (should be released before next next weekend, which is June 16th)
There will be a number of small changes to the next version:1. Political actions will no longer cost money (to make it easier for Play by Forum)
2. The National Objective will now be awarded simply for killing at least 1 unit during your turn, with no restriction that the TUV has to be 6 or more. The Objective will now only be worth 4, instead of 6. (it is too confusing otherwise)
3. England will require having 1 more VC for victory. (UK is too easy to play if you have any idea what you are doing)
What about moving political action to the beginning of one’s current turn? Like Global40? wouldn’t that speed the game a lot?
That could be a nasty surprise for the people at the start of the round if a supposed ally or friend gets the jump on them by declaring war and invading without any heads up. At least this way, you have your turn to react to what’s coming down the pipe.
Seth but I think there’s rules preventing you to DOW on an ally. So you have to go to neutrality before dowing.

It is done at the beginning of each round so that all the “politics” and talking about politics, and sending private messages about politics, all gets done at one time.
Otherwise, especially with live games, people spend their whole turn negotiating. Then when their turn is done, everything get renegotiated next turn. Stuff ends up taking forever.
updated game roster:
Noll - UK
Gargantua - Ottoman Empire
Veqryn - Sweden or Spain
seththenewb - Russia
wheatbeer - ?
Still need 3 players.
Available nations:
France, Prussia, Austria
plus Sweden or Spain
Since we need to recruit a couple more players anyways, I am fine with waiting for updates (especially no cost politics).
C’mon guys join us!
Cow suggests we turn on the game option that allows bombardment casualties to fire back before dying. I’m open to this.
Do we have enough people to start?
lol turning down it in the game where I wish to play UK, sounds fair :-D
Anyway, Cow, did you take into account that in this game 1transport cost 8IPCs and transport only 1land unit?
Transports can land two units if you’ve got a marine + inf/art/cav or what 4 marines? Marines attack increases in amhpib assault as well. :evil:
@seththenewb:

1 marine + 1 inf or artillery
or
just 1 cavarly
or
3 marines
however, marines are costly (at 6 ipcs), and do not benefit from artillery since they can’t be supported. plus they don’t get their +1 attack if they are not attacking amphibiously, so they are not so useful once grounded.
grenadiers are a far better buy, being the same price, always having that extra attack point, and able to receive support from artillery. but…. you can’t stuff 3 of them on a boat, so its a trade off.
if bombards kills counterattack there won’t be any incentive to buy frigates and battleships
I’m indifferent to this. It’s powerful, but naval pieces are expensive and transports are limited in what they can carry. So I’m comfortable either way. Besides, not like Russia’s going to be a huge naval player :-p.
UP! looking for more players!
Is it possible to have 1.521 and 1.6 installed on the same machine in different directories or will that cause problems?

yes,
if you are using the windows installer, just install both. done. simple.
if you are using the all platforms version, just unzip them to different locations, or zip them to the same location but give the folders different names, or whatever. you can make shortcuts to the executable, with different names for the shortcuts
for macs, i assume you can install both versions, since noone has ever said you can’t
Thanks just making sure since I have a number of old matches running.
I am okay either way on the issue of bombardment.

UP!
I tried recruiting someone, haven’t heard back. Ask your opponents in other games! :-D
I’m switching my pick from Russia to France. :-D
