@wirkey Exactly what I was just looking at.

@wirkey No I get that... but Shanghai as an alternate 3rd Capital... would certainly be within the realm of reason.

@wirkey I like The addition of another L&L territory for china as a solution.

@Frostion said in World of War Heroes – Official Thread:

@Hepps Thank you. Right now I am making a new place.txt for this WoWH map and manually picking every single land placement spot on the 400+ territory map.
You probably know the feeling and have experienced your self how tiring it can be, duing monotone map work and struggling to stay awake, since ones mind seems to shut down slowly. I really hate this step of map making, but I think that the end result is worth the effort. Especially when this map's tiles has road, mountains, small lakes and likewise drawn on the map, it makes sense to not have buildings standing in the middle of roads or in a lake. Also it makes sense to see the harbour building units be located at sea, not inland.
The players of a map might not notice if a map uses auto-placements or manually picked spots, but I am sure it contributes subconsciously to the game experience.

I think players will (as you say at least subconsciously) notice how clean and logical the map looks... whether they fully comprehend or appreciate what it takes to achieve such a thing on a map of such a grandiose scale... well only a map maker truly knows and admires such work for what it takes to achieve it.

I'll be interested to see how you achieve the harbour building to be at sea... since the units within a given territory can change positions based on what is in them. But then again... if they are the only 0 PU unit... then they should always be the first placement.

@redrum @wirkey well it really comes down to whether the intention is to liberate or capture the territory. As far as I know there is no mechanism available to allow the user to decide which action is to be taken. Otherwise I would choose to have it behave as it does currently. Thus your strategy is to free the people you are liberating.

To my knowledge if you change the behavior with "when captured by goes to" then the issue is even more magnified when you are actually trying to liberate a territory for a beleaguered nation. Such as the Caucasus becoming permanently British if they liberate them. To me that feels even more wrong.

Perhaps post the save so we can see precisely what the example is.

@Frostion Looks incredible. Fans of this franchise will surely have to play one handed for quite a while.

@redrum Oh I had not realized that the sub first strike could be set independently for defense. Guess it has been a while since I have gone through the properties list. Thanks for pointing that out.

@ubernaut As I had said... much of the design is done to work within some of the current limitations of the engine. There are some plans to eventually change some of the "is Sub" properties... but currently the solutions are not all that easy.

@ubernaut Would be awesome.

@ubernaut No. Sub First strike shots take presidence over other AA type shots... but that really isn't what I am referring to.
