[WIP] SH5 True Dynamic Campaign

Ziggy · 03-06-10, 12:30 AM

I don't know if I should point this out, if it is just to make things easier to do I understand. Having Eastern Europe allied doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Especially Poland and Russia, considering their long history of war and the Russo-Polish War in 1919-21, and again in 1939 a few weeks after the German Invasion. Poland was allied to France and England at this point before the war. Sorry ahead of time if I missed something and just made an ass of myself I am very tired :-p.

Ok I finished my history nit picking. I will be quiet now.

Alliances are a simple drag and drop to change, so should I move Russia into it's own UNALLIGNED bubble and make those other nations members of their own EASALLIES?

That's what I'm thinking of doing now.

Russia is now unaligned. My engine is starting to spit out it's first output figures now. According to it, in the first month America and Germany will lose 6 relation points (on a scale of 100 to -100). Reasons? Military Buildup and Ideological differences. Sounds logical thus far.

I can't get much more right now out of it, but by morning we should have a text log.

im impressed, this idea has a lot of potential!
it sort of reminds me a bit of Hearts of Iron III
unity, industrial capacity and all that
if you need betatesters i would be most happy to help (ahistorical is fun anyways :P)

btw i would recommend HoI3 for some inspiration if you feel like it, bit buggy but still fun just like SH5

keep up the brainstorming!

I never got into HoI because I felt like it was too scripted, never tried 3 though maybe I should give it a shot.

My original idea was to link to HoI or Making History and have it do the dirty work for conflict, but this proved impossible to manage. I have no idea how to get those games to export any kind of meaningful, usable log files.

yeah 1 and 2 was pretty traintracked, most people actually complain that 3 runs ahistorical a lot so might be better for you

I like a balance between ahistorical and believable. That's actually why I'm not releasing my first log right now, it's very very ahistorical.

I'm working on making it a little more real before posting anything it spits out.
