Re: New patch and multiplayer map pack

Yes, I doubled the hit points of Infantry and that at least makes them useful to soak up attacks. They are also fairly versatile as they get 100% vs Land and 80% vs Air (although their basic attack...

Re: New patch and multiplayer map pack

Exactly, which is hopefully a situation which has been planned for via a time limit. But there are other situations where it could happen even if the player has a clue (ie, they lose their...

Re: Balance Mod

Good call. I'd also look into reducing the damage from bombers. They do ridiculous damage in the stock game. I cut them in half and they are STILL a good buy so I think in 'stock', they are...

Re: New patch and multiplayer map pack

Is there a time limit for the battles and if so, then does the defender win if time runs out? What happens to the attackers?

If there is no time limit, I can see 'Mexican stand-offs' developing...

Re: Balance Mod

Thanks for the mod! It looks like a lot of your observations mirror my own.

One of the things I've noticed is how poor of a buy Infantry is. Not only do they die in seconds, they are slow on the...

Re: New patch and multiplayer map pack

A downloaded the updated demo and gave it a go. Definitely a huge improvement. It still feels a little rough and I think there are a number of balance issue to clear up but it's a big step in the...

Entertaining game....needs a lot of work

I grabbed the demo for this and had some high hopes since it was put out by Malfador and I loved SE2-SE4 (SE5? notsomuch...). And it definitely feels like those old SE games. :) Fun...but very very...

Re: is aircraft worth it?

Hi all,

A bit late on the discussion, but I've just recently dug back into SP-MBT recently in resolving battles generated by GDW's The Third World War.

Anyways, I completely agree that...

Re: No Amphib Grps For Us

Yep, I've had this happen since the patch and I've more or less stopped playing as a result. It really is incredibly frustrating when it happens. I can't imagine playing multiplayer and having this...

Re: No Amphib Grps For Us

Yep, I had the same problem in one game. I had the initial 2 or 3, but then no more after that. I suspect a bug, but I have no idea how to repro it.

Re: Review Dec 20 2008

A long shot, but did you have the base 'operational' - ie, had it grown from the initial conquered state? I was able to cut the Sea LOC fairly easily in my game as Japan (but I took Epirito Santo).

Re: Some thoughts, some issues

Thats fine and it makes sense. But I had used all the Amphibs assigned to me and I never received any more. The last was used in about mid 43 and that was it till the game ended in early 45.

Re: Some thoughts, some issues

This last game as played as the Allies, I received a total of 9 Amphib units over the course of the game. This is plenty - enough to do the job, but scarce enough to require planning. The prior game...

Re: Some thoughts, some issues

Yes, the reinforcement list can change. I restarted a new game as the Allies and saw the same 2 amphibs on the list. But as the game progressed, a few more appeared on the list (and in-theatre). The...

Re: Some thoughts, some issues

Ok, I just finished the game out and I'm hoping that this is a bug and not a design flaw. Because if its working as intended, its a serious game killer IMO.

Not a single Marine unit from 1943...

Re: Some thoughts, some issues

Some thoughts, some issues

Hi all,

My copy arrived on Thursday and I've now had a chance to play a few games. My first was as Japan and it was mostly a learning experience. I managed to win with a 'Cut the Sea Lanes'...

Re: 500lb Gorilla

Thanks again for the replies. :)

And yes, Timothy mentioned the reason for my question - the AI was massing up its forces and crushing anything I had that was parcelled out in smaller groups. If I...

Re: 500lb Gorilla

Thanks for the answer. About how large of a fleet would be required to 'damage' a base? It seems like almost every base includes aircraft after it's infancy stage and those seem to be sufficient to...

500lb Gorilla

I've been playing and enjoying the demo. It does share a lot in common with one of my favorite old board games, Victory in the Pacific.

Four turns is not anywhere near long enough to tell, but...

Re: Man, it\'s just not there.

I'm still in the same boat with many of y'all. I WANT to really like SE5, but it still leaves me feeling like I'm missing something.

Re: AI has it gotten any smarter??

I think it makes better use of its artillery and it tends to have a better force mix, both of which make it a tougher opponent.

The problems at this point are just a ton of little niggling things that combine to reduce the fun of playing.

Even slight interface items like the Planet names covering up the red/green dots for...
