@Elrood said in NML 1914 game 13:
Also … can we upgrade to latest alpha version? The savegame of our current games are compatibles that new version, but not the other way around….
If we switch to alpha, we can play our current games on alpha, but those who don’t switch can’t open a game saved in alpha? So, we all have to switch or stay with current?
@FMErwinRommel correct.
Our current Version 2.5 cannot open a game saved with Version 2.6
We still need to resolve what starting bid to give which powers, if any.
Stay with the new bid of F & T getting industry? Boo
Return to just T getting industry?
Or no bid for any power?
@FMErwinRommel I say we go back to Vanilla… the game more prone to player decisions and dice luck than a good tech at the start…
that said… an able player can really take advantage of such tech, while a worse player will waste it…
I have all the versions saved in my downloads. i just put them in different files. so depending on who i’m playing i just download that version. i have 4 versions. the newest is 2.6+14732.
Total world war will only play properly with 2.6+14526
and a few games with 2.5.22294
and the 2.6+14615 witch i’m using for some other games.
it’s very easy to switch between versions.
I just listed the envelopes A, AA, AAA, AAAA.

wait… you mean the latest version will cause issues?
Not everyone voted on tech bid for powers, so I just went with those who did express an opinion. The consensus is going back to NO tech or any other bid for any power.
VictoryFirst replaces CaptainWalker.
We stay with 7 players, one player taking Italy, Arabia & USA.

Thanks for rolling dice for us.
@FMErwinRommel @FMErwinRommel I’ll go Austria again
@VictoryFirst youre up to choose
Not sure, what would be the easiest country to play as a beginner? I guess Tur/Com?
@VictoryFirst No, the best powers for a newbie are Italy/Arabia/USA.
When players want an easy or quick turn, they would choose Italy/Arabia, whose theaters of operation are local. When we lost a player, we combined USA with them. USA is also a good starter position, as the early turns are just spent expanding on manifest destiny against neutrals, and the German opening gambit to Mexico (we’ll explain later). Afterwards, as USA income and units grow, it’s homeland is safe, and USA can choose where to shore up the Entente. Elrood might fill you in on playing USA in this past game.
Turk/Com requires a strong player now that the industry tech opening bid has been removed. Turks face UK from India and must try to take Cairo, while facing naval war with UK.
Alright, thank you very much for the advice. I will take Italy/Arabia/USA then.
