Let me suggest an experiment. I am not sure if it would work or even not cause other problems. But, for each SFType, there is a rating for favorite target for each of the SFType groups. They way I think this works is that it sets up lists of subformations in the combat for each subformation ...

For the time being, that is the next iteration of AT, there won't be any diplomacy to speak of. It is a bit challenging to do and I have a LOT on my plate right now. Especially with trying to make a better AI. Something like 80% of players play against the AI (me included) so getting a better AI is ...

Good to hear. Glad you are using it. Good luck with it.

It is the coming Ice Age.

Well, needless to say the weather system in 4Seasons is a bit complicated. It is controlled by several events that read several stringlists to determine what landscape should be displayed in each weather zone. It is similar to what is done in ANewDawn, but is extended some ...

Thanks. My feeling is that CVs are not a main part of the naval game. Probably because it is a bit difficult to use them. By this I mean recon for the unit is fairly weak, so you have to wander around searching for units. You can use the air-recon mission, but it is rather inefficient. You have to ...

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.

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?

2 ...

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

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

I presume that you have it sorted out?

Well, why don't you send me an example? That way I can determine the cause. Thanks

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
