hope you are going to add all amazing bassmaniac skirmishes : )

Btw this is minor but GSM 671 is missing track_karl.dds from texture\common\animation for karlthor, you can find it in mow.

I personally also think that pay back is not the best idea. I would prefer an overhaule of the unit costs.

Concerning the planes i would say remove them all if you really think the are absolutly game breaking or have a negative influence of the performance. But as for now i am happy with the no plane option.

No plane for me as well would work, about Payback i haven't really understood it's mechanics so i can't post my point about it

the payback is the money retribution that now is present in the vanilla mow as. that option is made for give a chance of survive to the noobiest player. in fact it works for give to you money over the normal 3000 money limit said in the setup start game. the money is given to you when you lose something in battle.
I tried more than one time, and I found that if you launch your men and light vehicles into an assault, for all the game, you can spend something like 5500 points instead 3000.
In the counterpart if the enemy is playing with the aim of "conserve and maintain" my army alive, he will spend just a bit more than 3000. In the end you can understand that a noob can spend more than you (and this is the purpose of payback) and a lamer too (and this is the problem).

about payback I have to say no more than I have already said. About the airplanes I can say that "das ist toll" and them cannot ruin the game because have the same potentiality of the koenig (for example), huge cost, huge potentiality but if you lose it you can say "bye" to the game.

Thank you Augustus, good explanation.

However, "no payback" is also forbidding players to field what i call "themed" forces different from mechanized infantry.

Maybe its me but i find hard to field at least a third Pershing just to say: "left side will be attacked by the armoured company and here we go with infantry" and so on...

Sorry for lame example ^^ but you get what i mean...

Totally agree! And after the planes we will move the heavy tanks because someone don't know how destroy them? We can move also artillery because someone can spam... Just learn to play guys the game have the best balance and u can choose every setting u want, don't like or don't know how use planes? ok set a no planes game don't ask to move them because many other want this, don't like artillery? Set a no arty game, there's no problem, just people must training and learn how use the unit, that's all, TRAINING AND LEARN!

now that GSM is best version ever ( only few crash problems that we can resolve posting errors , some are problems of the engine that is not too much good ) i think we have to promote a little more this mod , sometime i ask in lobby if someone have gsm and alot say ..GSM what ? they never tried this fantastic mod and know nothing about it

GSM really deserves to be more famous and to have bigger comunity !

i know ALOT of people that are not too much happy about some vanilla things and want more realism , they frequent the main forum but they also have never looked at the mod section because they think mods are difficult or that there are not people playing mod etc etc so ..


how to promote this mod ? i suggest to someone with better english than me :P to start a thread about gsm in the main forum section , not the mod one where there are less people


we really need to promote GSM and mow mod group

adding payback was only a test for the beta so don' worry

the only thing that is definitaly is that the planes will be removed (except the airborne troops, but im unsure about them. )

im working pretty hard to make this become a new version that will run fine and has lesser bugs
