Global Dominance
-
Just refined the Mines (German one is changed as to compare to British) and redid the Munition units.
-
@hepps They definitely look better. I also see some territory names!
-
@redrum Yup. Tested out some naming styles... so far this is my favorite method.
Trying to keep the names minimal but still readable at 50% - 67% zoom. There is a lot going on in any given terr., so I am trying to keep the names small but almost always visible.
-
@hepps Right. You thinking white instead of black like in TWW (personally like the white look)? If I get a vote, I'd vote for the names to be a bit bigger though it depends if you plan to ensure units don't overlap them. If there is guarantee for no overlap then you can probably get away with them being about this size.

@prastle Well let's all not all go strok'n each others John Thomas quite yet. There are 27 colours and shades for nations on this map. Until I test writing on all of them I am reserving judgement.

@hepps lol
your da boss
-
@hepps haha , nice one.
-
ooohhh shinny
-
Think I'm going to make some really nice Battleships, Cruisers and Aircraft Carriers....
Almost all the SZ on this map can hold 40+ units.... So I guess I can take liberties.
Not that I am looking forward to doing the manual placements of several thousand SZ and Territories.
-
@hepps Luckily, you can use edit mode instead of XML directly
-
@redrum LOL. These will be new additions to GD. Not something like trains you get to play with in advance.
-
Shipping Lane markers all done.
-
Another little taste...
And yes that is the "Desert Fox" himself, Erwin Rommel in Sirtica plotting the offensive on Tobruk.

@hepps Guessing the potato/rock looking things indicate desert (if so, any info on what desert will do)? What do the port symbol with the 'D' mean?
-
@redrum The desert terrain is still a work in progress. As far as its functionality.... you'll just have to wait.
Ports permit loading and unloading of specific vessels that can only load/unload during the Noncombat movement phase. Ports also allow the construction of the Harbour Defenses and Sub Nets.

@hepps
Maybe you should think about having terrain symbols be displayed in the transparent territory name png? It already seems to have resource symbols, so you could add a similar seized symbol to the row of symbols below the territory names? I did this in the Dargon War map.Another thing. The territory control unit flags seems kind of pale? Are they semi transparent or something? They don’t seem so sharp in the colors as the player/country roundels.
-
@frostion The original flag icons I am using are just copied from the original TWW. They were muted down for that map because of how the map was designed. If I change them it will be a long way of yet.
-
Much happier with the second attempt. I can live with this one for now to go with the other simplified terrain icons.
This time a little more view of the heart of the British defenses of the Med.
-
@hepps Definitely better. Interested in how Moghra Oasis functions? Guessing its maybe air units only.
