That is very useful information 82ndtrooper

I suppose the more people involved in its development and testing the better it will be. I really appreciate the description of your experience. In particular, I'm also the sort of gamer who plays on large maps with multiple AIs.

It is a definite improvement to be able to watch AI turns.
Something we all wanted very much in AT : WWII

I won't call it a patch any more, I'll call it an 'upgrade' as you suggest.

For those who had the previous game AT : WW2

Are there any improvements in the research element of AT : Gold?

There were previously only 4 levels in-built for each unit type, though it could be modded for a lot more.

Your advice is sound Henri.

I'll keep an eye on the map size and speed issue before making further decisions.

Did you notice any city number affect on speed?

<t> Is the game significantly faster?<br/>
<br/>
Can it handle bigger maps with more cities and be played without going for a run between turns?<br/>
<br/>
Are the research levels increased (I personally had modded these from the 4 levels to 12)?<br/>
<br/>
I agree that the cost of the game is ...

<t> I bought, played and modded the previous AT: WWII<br/>
<br/>
I liked the concept, the units, the moddability but felt that it could be improved which appears to have taken place.<br/>
<br/>
I really hated the relatively small sized maps, small number of cities and the unbearably slow game ...

<t> I bought the previous AT:WWII game and played it for hours, including created my own mods.<br/>
<br/>
The fundamental problem with the game was the glacial speed at which turns were processed, particularly when larger maps were used or constructed. I had worked out how to add oil and steel ...

Maybe just post the map, or the scenario as it is and we can help!

Nice map, thanks for the work!

Thanks for this map, and any others which add to it.

Does anyone think a 10km/hex map is possible covering all of Europe and be playable in AT II?

Your Map is beautiful

Do you think the games will play such a big map in non-geological time periods? I've gave up on a big map when I play tested it (but I must say I had 6 opponents which slows things down alot!)

Yes, a map like that is a wonderful gift!

Fantastic.

Obviously some very clever people have worked very hard on behalf of us all.

How long is around the bend?

Astounding, will make the new patch make it feel almost like a new game.

Congratulations!

This is a small but significant improvement. Does more direct targetting come with it?

I simply edited the savegame 'countries.csv' file to move Turkey into the Axis alliance

Yes, very good.

Congratulations

<t> Yes I think it important that aircraft be used for ASW Recon and Interdiction.<br/>
<br/>
It was the significant shift in the balance of the Atlantic war, and would add another dimension to the game.<br/>
<br/>
Adding a carrier to a convoy might also enhance its survivability as it did in ...

Thats a nice feature.

Well done!

Thanks Chuck

Your solution worked perfectly with Notepad.
