The State of World Supremacy

[1SG]

I did contact ws@malfador.com via email and got a response from Aaron. He did tell me that the only instructions availible for making mods is in the manual, but it only list what the data files are for not any detail of how to change the parameters.

Also he said there is no expected future updates or patches for WS. I think as you have already known we are on our own.

I thought of another idea to give the AI a greater advantage.
I already mentioned that by not building any Factories and having to move my units from the only factory to the front line does provide a challenge of logistics.

The new way which I have not tryed yet but sounds promising is to take 1 or more units and give it the special ability to increase resources for the teritory it is in and I will not build that type of unit giving the AI an advantage in resources.
I thought about doing that with the Rocket Arty which the AI seams to like to produce alot of and use. I personally do not produce many of the Rocket Arty when on the offense, which of course I am against the AI.

Just copy the values from the City and add it to any unit you wish, for example

Number Of Special Abilities := 1
Special Ability 1 Type := Territory Money Modifier
Special Ability 1 Description := Increases money from this territory by 10%.
Special Ability 1 Amount := 10

Of course if the AI builds several of these units in the same region the AI can get a big boost in resources. Not sure if the AI will build this type of unit just for this purpose?

Quite interesting ideas! If it's possible to create new units supply vehicles could be interesting, IE supply trucks that create resources, but can be destroyed. If the AI would build lots of them it might get a big resource boost. Maybe it's also possible to just increase city production (if the AI builds enough cities).
I agree, it's a pity there won't be more updates, because with some more work by the developers the game could become absolutely awesome. I think they've given the Space Empires games more updates than WS so far, and the advantage of Space Empires was that the AI was also moddable, I wonder why Malf haven't implemented moddable AI in WS.

I am going to try making the increase resources for cities to see if the AI will build them and I will decide to not build any cities.

I did add an advantage by each Rocket Aty adding a 100% increase to resource to each region per unit, and did not build any Rocket Art myself. To say the least the AI simply beat me silly because I could not keep up with the AI's production. Even though with my limited ability which is still far better then the AI when it comes to strategy, production and resources overwelmed me and I could not beat the AI. Maybe something setting like each Rocket Art unit having a 20 - 50% will make a better balance. Was neat to see the AI make me sweat and die.
