Crazy Europe: House of Habsburg

@crazyg The version I just downloaded from depot even has horsemen. Never mind, it was loading old from memory, I had to reselect map.

[CrazyG]

I'm not a developer, but couldn't we just take the code that enables the SZ thing to work, copy it and give it a different condition? Possibly an XML enabled condition?

Just swapping the order of those Sea Zones would be a big task, and then it wouldn't match the land (I've actually starting liking the current naming scheme because it makes it easy to find where a territory is)

[General_Zod]

@CrazyG Ah ok, I forgot about the faction attribute. Scratch the earlier post.

So I'm down for a multi of this today if anyone else interested.

Regarding the naming scheme. When I saw it, I thought it would make names easier too. It's not so tragic to leave them as is.

@general_zod
Post the save here if you can. I would join, but the timezones didn't work out

@crazyg off topic but can you see the admin forum now?

[prastle]

@crazyg or just the bunker?

[redrum]

@CrazyG I believe I added support for sea territories beginning or ending with "Sea Zone" a while back. I'd suggest testing it out and let me know if it doesn't work as expected.

@redrum Not often that I find a man truly sexy.... but you my friend... are just that.

@crazyg said in Crazy Europe: House of Habsburg:

@Hepps
Isn't there another way around the lines? That does work but it looks a bit odd. TWW has true islands, right?

With no other decorations or indicators.... yes it looks odd. But it can be made to look very sensible.... (Bear in mind both of these are very rudimentary renderings). Once all the re-design of the base tiles is done then more decorative efforts can be done.

[redrum]

@hepps In this case wouldn't it be easier/cleaner to just extent the vertical line below the island straight up?

[Hepps]

@redrum Yup.... Just offering ideas as food for thought. This was just meant as a possible option.

[General_Zod]

@hepps We will have to rename this soon. "House of Heppsburg", hehe

Uhm, seems that most here, and not only here, prefer "Sea Zone" or "SZ" being before the name/number.
I personally think the right place for it to be is, traditionally, after the name/number, like in "101 Sea Zone" or "North Atlantic Sea Zone" or "11 SZ", but it is good to have the choice, and it shouldn't have to be "Sea Zone" at all.

[General_Zod]

@cernel I think if using a numerical name, sea zone is better first, but second if non numerical.

[General_Zod]

@CrazyG I don't see the map available on bots list. Is this a separate database?

[Cernel]

@general_zod It surely feels better if not numerical, especially in cases like "West Mediterranean Sea Zone", but what is the point to have it at start if it is numerical, and the land territories aren't?
If only the Sea Zones are numbered, starting with numbers will assure them being distinct from the land territories, and not in the middle of the land territories starting with "S".
Personally, the only case I might want to have "Sea Zone" at start is if both land and sea are just numbers, but I can't think of a single map.

[prastle]

@general_zod it needs all maps update
if he finally has it it downloads gz

[Cernel]

@cernel Well, If I would have all sea zones starting with "Sea Zone", then I would have all land territories starting with "Land Territory" or "Land Zone".
So having "Sea Zone 101" and "Land Territory Constantinople".

[Cernel]

@crazyg A thing I noticed is Corsica should be "Venetian" or Genoa should be neutral.

I'm thinking, for this timeline, in a 1v1, both Venice and Genoa should be allied with the Habsburg.
Still, I suggest having them as different players:

Genoa may even be just part of the Habsburg, really. It was a war-traded territory between the French and the Spanish.
I would say that "Italy 08" would be worth a 4 PUs.

[General_Zod]

@cernel Nah, who says you need to name them all that way, can mix and match as it reads best.
