Carrier help

For beginners, I’ve always liked A&A Europe the original.  It’s out of print, but still obtainable.  There’s even a copy for $25 on BBG!

It’s easy to play, dramatic, and not too long. It teaches the basics of game play without getting too bogged down in technical rules.

Consider it!

Do you repy to this thread every year… or?

If you need some help, I think that many people who use Synthesia dont use the English everyday, but, as you see, we try to speak English here and we understand your soft
So we can help you to translate

Scroll down to the bold text if u only want to know what I needed help with and dont care why and so on.

Oki. where to start then.

There is an old boardgames called “Axis and Allies”, its a boardgame reguarding WWII. There was a computergame created a few years back, but the game developers dint care jack sh*t about it. And it hade tons of errors, flaws and tons of buggs making the game crash and the developers dint really care 2 cents about fixing the problems with it.

So since its a really nice game and loved game among board game players, a community and a source game was developt from free working people almost 3 years ago. And its been going really nice, and sofar the game is far greater then the buyable game itself that the company released.

But now to the sad part, last week a sad e-mail came to the project. It was Hasbro who threathen to make a case of it and go to court with the matter if the source project was not taken down.

So at the moment we need to redo all the troop images, redo the entire map and alot of other work.

Actully relly sad that Hasbro is working against a community that actully is made because people love the game so much.
Most people who are in the community have prob bought at least 2 Axis and Allies products. And a online computergame will never be replaced by a computergame. (Dont start to debate this matter, make a new thread if that is what u want to talk about. )

Anyway…. now to the matter I needed help with.

so… now to what I might need help with. Im not 100% sure that Im actully posting this in the right place. I might get flamed for that… Or maybe I wont. We are all differnt people and I love you all.

Im trying to find a downloadable map of the entire world. (Pixel size dont really matter, Ill rezise it in photoshop later) Does not really have to be detailed, and by that I mean do not want information reguarding capital, land hight, population. It actully could be as simple as 2 colored. land/water.

I could always go around taking screenshots of the maps on google and then puzzle it together and then do tons of work in photoshop. But prefered not to, if there is a simpler way to solv it.

And my 2nd question is if anyone knows of a program or plugin that might help me simpefy a map if there are no maps like that anywhere to be found.

Tnx in advance for all who took the time to read this post.

Edit…
Well I found a map, done some work on it… Still not done.

If u are intrested about the project/game Come make us a visit.

Ive managed to open the files so I think ive figured this out. I just need to download BigPieces.bmp so the units wont be microscopic.

thnx ncs:  i went to the 2nd site & i downloaded what i had to ( not very computer literate sorry).  so how do i start a game w/ others or join in 1?

I don’t think so…

Why do you need them? The game is already easy enough as it is. Cheat codes in A&A are for 1st graders. I’m serious, you should have no problem beating it.

Unlimited IC factory in some places is great, like Brazil for instance. However, I think it’s pushing it by placing an unlim. IC in French West Africa since USA can reach it on their 1st-2nd turn. Maybe relocating it to Egypt would be a better as it gives the Germans the advantage of holding Africa a bit longer but at greater cost. Also placing an extra UK inf in Egypt might deter the Germans from taking until the 2nd turn. It’ll be a repeat of the great battle of El Alamein between Rommel and Montogomery. And this time maybe the Brits won’t outnumber the Germans at least 2 to 1.
