Important Information on the start of Normal game play.

Possible solution that benefits all: How about everyone get's granted one 'differentiating' tech accomplishment. It must be the next step up on the tech tree beside what everyone gets, and must have a year of 1905 or earlier. I'd take the 1900 mine warfare tech as mine.

Its a possible option. I would want to go farther and say that it must be a 1900 tech. There are 8 choices, so some room for differentiation. Going above 1900 opens up some techs that are "no brainers" like Engines, and I would rather not make that jump just yet.

[Guinness]

Fine by me.

Ha!  Who's the "Sick Man of Europe" now?

O and here is your first Herring hit

Well, in that case I'll send this classic one right back at ya...

I did mention a couple of days before I left:

Not sure if there are any other things necessary that needs to be posted that I have not done so far but I will probably have to do that once I have returned.

... because I had this feeling that anything missing would have been mentioned by the mods while I was in Paris... and it has indeed happened... but I guess it is not too hard to fix it once I am finished working through all the photos and videos...


I like the idea of the 'differentiating' tech, though I agree with Snip that it should be limited to the 1900 techs (simply because of the fact that the earlier you research the tech, the more expensive the research is going to be). Speaking of techs... in the HY report example, when I am researching a tech for a period of time, is the cost of researching the tech the same for all the HYs that the tech is being researched or does it change like how the report does it. I did a test run to figure out some long term Classified Chinese Ideas I shall not mention, but because of the research cost formula, the cost for the research of a 1900 tech changed in 1902. In other words, is the cost determined by the first half year that the tech is being researched for all the half years it is being researched or is it determined by what the spreadsheet tells me?

There is an error. We will most likely spit out a fixed spreadsheet that will clean up little issues like this before the 1900H1 reports are due.

Italy
--Everything, but you got a very late start.

Most should arrive this week.
Army (sans locations), forts, coast artillery are in the sample HY1 1900, though the free tech might change that
Still crafting ships, need to get back to posting samples, but having to work out when they fit the construction sequence.

Well, things are progressing. Before I start slipping into nag-mode about 1900H1 reports, is there any information that all of you feel is missing or needs clarification?

[The Rock Doctor]

There seemed to be some question about specialist unit costs/capabilities, and another about the fortification ratings.  Have those been resolved?

Otherwise, I'm ready to post a definitive H1/1900 report and get going.

Specialists got figured out here, it was just never edited into the official thread.

Can you link me to the Forts question?

I've been camped on my report for a month or so now. With regards to getting rolling, I know we will have one report late. But, nothing stopping us from some story writing in the meantime. *humms something about the coasts of Tripoli*

I should have my official economic put in this evening and will try to get my boards encyclopedia cleaned up tonight also.  Then I disappear into the woods for 4 days with my son for Cub Scouts.

I don't recall where the specific fort issue was raised, but there had been a question of whether their combat ratings were correct and proportional to the combat ratings of mobile units.

[Walter]

Yes, it was something I mentioned a while back, but will have to look exactly where it was...
