#5: barnee (Axis) vs. VictoryFirst (Allies) | G40 House Rules Expansion by The Captain

[barnee]

@VictoryFirst

oh yea, did you wanna dust the Infra in Novgorod ?

[VictoryFirst]

I’ve looked at the Takeover of Italy and found a way to make all Italian units/territories German. However the facilities are a bit harder. I have an idea to use foreach to loop through a list of territories and all facilities, and if a facility is present, it will remove it and place a German one. This would deal with any facilities built/destroyed by Italy before the takeover.

Also, the XML might need some clean-up :) It might be easier if 40 and 43 expansion are two separate games. That will be a difficult and tedious process but I think it will be worth it in the end. I’d be happy to work on that if you agree.

Looking at the map now. Yes, no Russian facilities may fall under German dictatorship!

It does that for the most part. I think maybe LCVs and Paras don’t switch. The problem with Facilities, is you have to have a ton of conditions for all the different ones.

I was at the point where it mostly worked, so figured a couple edits not that big a deal. It only happens once a game.

Yea moving 43 to it’s own game can be done. It might not be too big a deal now that most of EXP is working. Problem is, you have 2 maps you have to upkeep anytime something changes.

When I did Global 40 House Rules and added Canada, it was kind of a pita updating them both every time something changed.

yea the xml a little sloppy. I just hack shit together until it works :)

One thing that could use improvement is the ParaBoost for when allies are present defending. The Escorts could use more work. They only do it for one and not with the Pacific Only Ships and Liberty ships

[barnee]

heh heh they are liberators :)

[barnee]

@VictoryFirst

if you wanna make 43 separate, it’d be easiest to start from scratch and we can just remove the property that turns it on once it works. I wouldn’t dick with removing anything that’s already there

@VictoryFirst

were you able to get the logo working ? I haven’t checked git in a couple days

Yes, I was planning to upload together with the Italy change. Once I’ve fixed the facilities I will upload. I have an idea how to do that.

This one has the armies added as well as some corrections regarding Poland joining the Soviet Union, lol 😂

[VictoryFirst]

@barnee

No, will try now

[barnee]

@VictoryFirst

Poland got conquered moving from the boxes, so 5 PU too many for the soviets

[VictoryFirst]

@barnee

Yeah already corrected that, see save file above.

@VictoryFirst

ahh I missed it chattin away lol

[VictoryFirst]

@barnee

Just checked with 2.5, looks like that option doesn’t do anything.

[VictoryFirst]

However I managed to fix it via a different way. I added this game property and if disabled it will only show the first notification and will skip all the other ones that show up before Germany’s first purchase. It works really well lol. Saves a lot of time when having to restart the game multiple times to see if sometimes works.
