<t> I would add that #4 seems like a no-brainer feature that is missing.<br/>
<br/>
Its really annoying to be cliking through the decisions, and suddenly its in the queue with no final confirmation of wanting to spend the resources.<br/>
<br/>
This totally prevents you from experimenting with ...

<t> Turretless tank destroyers were used primarily on the defensive. They didn't have gyrostabilizers (or anything similar) so moving greatly reduced their ability to hit.<br/>
<br/>
Their advantage is as stated above - smaller target, bigger gun, better armor.<br/>
<br/>
Biggest disadvantage ...

<t> Part of the issue with Suitability - what is the range? <br/>
<br/>
Is 4 a good value? 24? 80? With no details on how it is calculated, nor what the range of values is, it becomes essentially meaningless... <br/>
<br/>
I've seen values between 0 and low 20s - does this mean the most suitable ...

<t> I tried reloading the save, but it didn't repeat. What I did in the original case:<br/>
- Ended turn, AI turns processed.<br/>
- Came back to my turn, it showed message about militia being happy<br/>
- closed militia message. <br/>
- clicked on the specified hex and went to move the map ...

<r> I hadn't done any attacks, but the hex was attacked during turn processing...<br/>
<br/>
On another note, it appears hostile creatures do appear on peaceful planets...<br/>

<r> Can't seem to find any indication of what it means, but I have 1 hex that is suddenly outlined in red. Any idea what it means?<br/>

Also, I notice now that moving the history map around makes the regular map also be shifted when you go back to map mode. And further, you can't zoom in/out on the history map (although I'm not certain we could before...)

<r> This is what it should look like: (got the view by scrolling off screen and then back)<br/>

<r> I started my second turn, clicked on the hex to the lower right of Dixie and the map shifted and duplicatedmy units...<br/>

<t> 1 hex = 200km (not square km) - so approximating as a distance of 200 km from flat side to opposite flat side gives about 34,500 km^2<br/>
<br/>
Earth total is 510,000,000 km^2<br/>
<br/>
Land is approx 29% = 148,000,000<br/>
so in hexes = about 4,300<br/>
<br/>
In a more relatable size ...

I've seen it once in all the testing I did - but could not get it to repeat, so couldn't report anything at the time.

Thanks for the tip - giving a symbolic link a try.

<t> Hi,<br/>
<br/>
I set the game to install on E:\Matrix\TOAW4, yet a whole lot of stuff (540 MB) gets put in <br/>
<br/>
C:\Users\<user>\Documents\My Games\The Operational Art of War IV<br/>
<br/>
Why? I specifically selected a different drive to install to to keep stuff off my C drive.<br ...

1. As soon as you need them. <E>:-)</E> It really depends on both the terrain and your general position. If you are defensive, tanks are a low priority - you need troops to fill the lines. But if you are having to defend in the plains, then you will need tanks to handle the AI ...

<t> Too bad "Make the game responsive" isn't on the list.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
&nbsp;For me, the lag in response to mouse clicks is ruining an otherwise good game.<br/>

It should not take 20-30 seconds to respond to a supress/evade order... (for example)<br/>

<t> Several values combine to determine the effectiveness.<br/>

Kill% and Retreat% determine what fraction of the time a _hit_ will kill or retreat. The rest of the time, a hit will cause readiness and entrenchment loss.<br/>

The Attack strength vs various target types (as displayed ...

<t> Just a suggestion -<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
&nbsp; Would it be possible to get a function added to the editor to dump all the unit data?<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
&nbsp; It would certainly make tracking all this info easier, and it would really help mod builders to get an overview of their data... [:D]</t>

I can't seem to get it work. I renamed it to .xls file but Excel doesn't seem to display it.

I may be doing something wrong

It is a ZIP file. Rename it to "abc.zip" Then extract the excel file from it... [;)]

<r> Version 1.01a of unit stats<br/>

This includes the information from the Subformation Details page. It is only missing the following (which will be added later):<br/>

<t> Seeing as how there is nothing included in the existing dcumentation, I have compiled an excel sheet showing the abilities of all units in the default master file.<br/>

It took a while (there are actually 100 different unit types!), but it did reveal some potential issues:<br/>
