How to gain command points

[mfitz1970]

I know its a silly question but how do you gain more command points? is it by sinking ships only I don't see any for taking islands or shooting down aircraft that should give you some sort of command points don't you agree? also do your ships need to refuel?

Hi
No refuel need (for the moment... there're alarms in txt files so...)
For command points, only by sunken ships, you gain half the purchase value

If you want more at the start of campaign, you must modify "commandPoints" in the setup.txt file of the right campaign (001 for US, 002 for Japan)

OK I'm completely confused how do you edit the file??? this is worse then XCOM at least that I could understand if I understand what your saying there is no way to add commands while in a campaign correct? btw how do you edit this thing anyway??

[Rorobow]

With any text editor
notepad windows for example, just double click on it, very simple

You can add while in compaign by editing the save, with text editor too, at c/users/.../appdata/locallow/killerfishgames/waronthesea/save/campaign

i advise you to not raise your starting points.... because ( in my opinion ) AI have unlimited CP and send you fleets and fleets, but you can handle them with your first 250 CP.

as you sink IJN fleet, you gain slowly power and CP and you can have more and more operational combat fleet

AI is only limited by (S) or (C) ships, as here in the pictures, no more Takao for IJN

No, depending on the difficulty the AI earns more or less points, by default at medium (balanced) AI entirely earns the fund of the value purchase of sunken fleet, while we only earn half... But it's parametrable in the setup.txt to adjust this ;)

i'm week 3 in my US campaign, all balanced difficulty. I sank 4 takao, 2 furutaka, 2 mogami on 4, 1 Yamato, 1 Kongo, more than 10 DD and more than 10 Ca like Kuma or Nagara class, add 10 transports and 5 Oilers

I lost 3 Fletchers and 2 gato so far,

how can you explain this ? if you add all the IJN CP spent so far, it is far more than 400 and on my map, i still have 1 BB attacking Fort Moresby

I just had a random fleet of 6 merchants invade my rear. Somehow getting past my deffencive line. Which I belive is impossible....
They have now disappeared too. With lots of my aircraft unable to find them.
Edit
They just landed basically everywhere. I enjoy the game. But its currently impossible.

I believe sea state is very important in this game as it affect all visibility, air and sea.... i was shore bombarded by Musashi and a kongo on port moresby. Created a net to catch the fleet but they (seems) desapeared..... sea state of 6 and you are almost blind.....

The AI has no cost some fleets at the start of the campaign, take a look the sea_mission.txt file
