Re: Looking for some feedback

Just to be clear, I will use this feedback as I update the game and prepare it for a new version. I could use the feedback as I decide what changes should be applied to these aspects of the game. So, if you have ideas, please let me know.

Looking for some feedback

I'm looking at some aspects of the game to make improvements, etc. I would like some player feedback on two aspects of the game.

1. I would like to know how players use aircraft carriers. How you find enemy ships, attack those ships, and if you use the air-recon mission with aircraft carriers?

Re: Map Font questions

Me thinks that you can't change the opacity. It is pretty much hard coded into the drawing of the map.

Re: Map Font questions

I don't, at this time, know the answer to your question. I'll have to do a little research. If I remember correctly, shadedhex.png is used to make the shading that you see that outlines how far a unit can move.

Re: 4 SEASONS ALTERNATE GRAPHICS

I will try really hard to get the next update to Four Seasons in the next week, but it will be a bit of a challenge since I am traveling and I need Vic to put it on the web site. But, inside is an event that does exactly as I described. Heck, I am no fool, and I can add execs to do it. Seriously, I ...

Re: 4 SEASONS ALTERNATE GRAPHICS

Well, it will take some work on your part!

You need to put them in a directory and then set the graphics for the subformation types in the editor. This can be a laborious, if not mind-numbly boring, process. Because you have to do it for the four levels of the subformations and several peoples ...

Re: Map Font questions

I'll have to research this. I think the answer is that you can't change fonts.

Re: Advanced Tactics Gold v2.40.105 Public Beta

I sent you an email describing what went wrong. But for the benefit of anyone else that might be reading here:

I believe this is resolved. It is not a problem with transfers but a confusion with the people types. The regime has cities with two different people types but with the same abbreviated ...

Re: Red circles

The effect of interception on anti-supply looks to be for each hex

Total_AntiSupply*(1-Min(Total_Interception/Total_AntiSupply))

Total_AntiSupply is the sum antisupply ratings from each unit on a hex within its range, while Total_Interception is the same for intercepting anti-supply. It is ...

Re: Red circles

I think that I have to take that back. The amount of fuel expended does depend on the amount of anti-supply being applied. So, I think if the enemy doesn't conduct anti-supply, you don't expend fuel. It turns out that I did indeed put in a fairly complex check on fuel. Actually, it looks like anti ...

Re: Red circles

Yes. If they are able to get up, that is, they pass the readiness check, etc., they contribute to intercepting anti-supply, then they spend fuel. The fuel cost for a subformation in a unit set to intercept is FuelForAttack*NumCombatRounds*Qty, where FuelForAttack is what the subformation spends per ...

Re: Red circles

While intercepting anti-supply fighters use fuel for action of being up on patrol trying to intercept dive bombers, etc that are conducting anti-supply attacks. They get charged for 50% AP once during the turn. The same is true for aircraft conducting anti-supply (interdiction) missions. They get ...

Re: Red circles

Depends on if you mean stop the red dots from ever appearing (you can't) or how to prevent interdiction losses. The best way is to get fighters in the area and set them to intercept. At sea, find a ship type, say destroyers, that have anti-supply interdiction, and put them where they can intercept ...

Re: Red circles

When you hover the mouse over the hex, look in the "message box" and it will tell you how many supply were lost due to interdiction. There are also circles for powerpoints and resources lost due to interdiction.

Thanks for checking it out. Yes, you are correct that there are a few bugs in it, as you found, and there is also a ratings problem for artillery against aircraft. I have fixed these but haven't posted it to the website because I also need to get an update to ATG sent to Matrix for it. I have to ...

Re: Advanced Tactics Gold v2.40.098 Public Beta

Ernie is right. I noticed a serious contradiction with "Stone Age" start and non "1 Town Start". In that without choosing "1 Town Start" you get a full garrison with infantry that have MGs and mortars. But you can't produce them yet, so it was a bit odd. With "1 Town Start" you get just the SHQ, and ...

Re: Naval interdiction isn´t working

I'm not exactly sure what the issue is since you haven't sent me anything yet. But ernie sent me a save game where he suspected that there might be an example of what you are saying. It was a GD game. From what I could tell, the subs were set to DoAS = No, and thus, they wouldn't interdict anything ...
