Okay, thanks for the clarificatoin.

The bar can be shrunk to a minimum width of the largest required minimum of any element in the side bar. That will either be a component in the action tab or the minimap itself.. The history tab either has no effective min or a min that is always less than any minimap that exists today.

While having it so there is a consistent min across any possible tab would be, consistent, it's not necessarily trivial to do.

That's hardcoded, no option to hide it.

@Schulz
After reading through PoS xml, i cant say it is possible through territory effect. There is a list of allowed effects. HP not listed.
But without territory effect it is possible i say.
Condition and Trigger is the place to look at.

@Hepps Haha yeah....I'm patient but thorough LOL

I agree the 'Notes' tab being in the 'action panel' is very questionable.

Funny enough the min is set to 240px. Swing layout is an odd beast, there is invisible padding that needs to be available. With a more narrow unit scroller now, fewer buttons, that looks okay. The 'player' stats table has issues though and becomes difficult to read. Below is a sampling when setting the min to 200:

@LaFayette as long as we are sure this will not affect dice outcomes i withdraw my objection. 🙂

The path displaying in the game selection screen makes sense. The duplicate name scenario is an issue, it's a legacy design that expects all scenarios to have unique names.

I submitted the feature request on GitHub. We will see if anyone takes it up.

On a related note, I think that with user actions, there should be a default AI percent, to give the AI some guidance on whether to do something.

@LaFayette To give a suggestion in regards to a counter, I first thought of two methods that I later discarded. One was just a little "x something" like the units-to-be-placed has above, or the white count number at the factory like on placed units have. But I figured that both of these production indicators would maybe lead to confusing.

So my suggestion would be to have a counter after the territory name. Like "Berlin (Production X)". This would mean the whole territory. Then the individual factory free producti capability would be seen when placing, just like it works now.

What about it? 🤔

@RoiEX i wonder if this has anything to do with my issue of not being able to get a PBF game going on mac.

I think it could be still possible with the current engine even if it does not work with neutral victory condition.

It is possible to create passive nations like Mongolians in the Global War and in the Civil War looks like there are ways to create a victory condition with limiting rounds. Combining of them might provide draw option.

Hi all,

read this topic and I have a similar idea for my game. So the question is:

Has anyone already written some code lines in a xml that worked?

@freh no the calc itself is just a simple calculator, no issues, its mainly running it during editing or during battles.

In the mid to late game, if the nearest enemy to the AI is say 4+ territories away, the AI still over stacks its units in its Factories and does not send reinforcements out to the front line.

Ideally there should be a steady stream of units to the battle front, but this does not happen.

This happens frequently on the Warcraft map and some other maps where the battle line is far from the factories.

@CrazyG
Thanks, thats working a treat!
