If you would add a space between Manpower and (% of Auth) as well as one between the (manpower) number and the opening bracket indicating % it would be much better to read. Like this:

Manpower (% of Auth.): 1190 (99,17%)

....

Re: Nordlicht 1942 AAR Snefens vs. Telumar

Turn 32 - Sept. 27th


This was a quiet turn as Snefens already stated. In the Ramushevo corridor we push back the Soviets directly southwest of Zasovo where they still occupied territory adjacent to the rail line. The rest of 250. Inf.Div. has finally arrived by rail and we generally plan to ...

Re: Hierarchy Module Document



It occurs to me that a better place for that info would be on the info panel => when hoovering over the manpower text. That would simplify the text.

That's a good idea! The info panel might also be the realm that could harbour the two digits behind the comma ;)

Unfortunately, it turns out ...

Re: Hierarchy Module Document



5.49 / 4.50 = 1.22 => 22% difference.


Sure. From the perspective Of Maximum Authorized Manpower, the range between 4,5% and 5,49% is 0,99% of total. Much less dramatic number.

Do what you want and keep the two digits. But keep in mind this is a game, not a high precision machine control ...

Re: Hierarchy Module Document



Yeah - this is the real magic. Somehow the game introduced so many numbers that trying to use them became impossible. There is so much science of war that the only way to handle it is to treat it like the art of war. There is no way for a human to number crunch their way forward. I don't even ...

Re: Hierarchy Module Document

To visualize it, maybe this will help in understanding what the problem I (we) have with the two digits is.


Now here is the top German Formation Report before and after the fix:

Actually when I suggested it, I had this in mind which would be perfectly sufficient:

Re: Hierarchy Module Document

Since it was my suggestion ... I support getting rid of the two digits behind the comma in Manpower Estimate percentage display.

These are all valid arguments imho:

-I'm not sure seeing a force is at 68.73% versus 68% or 69% changes a mental calculation in this game, whether its for 5 million men ...

Apart from that, it would be nice to also have a percentage of current manpower compared to full strength displayed next to manpower estimate in the formation and unit reports. Something like this: Manpower Estimate: 825 (79%) . Just saying.

I've now effected this suggestion.

I love what you did there, very nice! But how did you come to the manpower% numbers? Did you meticulously go through every single unit or is there a more elegant way?
