Step 2 - The countries

Having fixed the coastlines, I've created rough borders for North Korea, China, and the USSR as a guide to the eventual population of the map with terrain and towns/cities, but it will be revised to be more accurate as development goes on. The border between North Korea and ...

Step 1 - the map
Step1.png
As discussed above I've scaled the map to be roughly 10km-per-hex. The area of the map extends from Japan in the south, to China and the Soviet Far East in the North, to allow the modelling both of conflict in Korea, and the intervention of UN forces from Japan, and ...

What is this? - A mod to introduce at least a Korean map, accurate to 1950, to the game, and we'll see what else we can do with it. I'll be occasionally working on it and posting it here. The goal is that at least a map of the Korean peninsula, and hopefully eventually a ...

I have tried out the mod and so far it's amazing, only two things I can add at this point, hex 129, 39 (west of Spokane) doesn't have he same weather zone as the surrounding hexes. The test for the island names being blue blends in too well


Many thanks for the kind comments. I will fix in the ...

2. Additional editor features to include ability to fully customize unit types. It is currently very limited within a unit type class.


My preferred implementation of this would be something like a text file containing value specific to each unit, referencing a specific image-file for its sprite ...

Another thing I'd love to see going forward is more differentiation between units of same type across different nations . Right now, if I understand it correctly, only tech level and xp factor in this. But historically different nations' units had different competency degrees due to different ...

Question for Devs: is it OK if I use the graphics-assets for Japan in SC:WaW or SC:WitP for an SC:WiE mod for public release? I suppose I could try to either find a third-party mod that has their own assets for Japan, create my own, or just use generic graphics for them, but this seems a hassle.

I ...

Strong emphasis on this release being still a WIP. I just finally accepted I would never finish it without anyone else looking at it.

Unbelievably, I am still working on this, with glacial slowness.

See here for what I've got:

Problem solved if the new game has task force counters, and a separate window of some sort for placing ships in a task force.


Realistically they aren't likely to launch a heavily modified/new game engine, and that would be required for this.



I like the SC series, but modeling the Pacific ...

Also, Pacific War is about task force, its composition, its screen and when I see the screenshots, I am under the impression that you can't put a BB with plenty of AAA guns to protect your CV in the same task force counter. Am I wrong?


Thats' always been a glaring issue with Strategic ...

There is another aspect that is very important in a game about the Pacific War. It's intelligence. Decoding the codes and intentions of the enemy. For me, this point is fundamental.


This is already modelled in the base StratCom system to a significant extent by researching intelligence and ...

Will WiE be able to tie in as an option? I doubt it but would be nice.


Since it seems like that would be too big a selling point not to mention I doubt it also.

But, at least now some of the atolls like Truk and Eniwetok look more proportional to the map with the decrease in hex scale from ...

Tweaks and fixes

This week I've been working on game balance to ensure that the cities that fell to one side or another in the opening months of the war as written in Turtledove's books will typically fall in the first few turns of the game as well. This isn't easy as it requires the CSA to be ...

Thanks Crow! Yeah, playing some WiE has given me ideas about how to address some issues in this mod.

NATO Counters
Originally I hadn't planned to provide any updated NATO counters for this mod because I don't use them. However, since some people do use them, and since a new unit-type - militia - is introduced in place of ANZAC units, the NATO counters also need to be updated to accommodate this ...

And we're back...

Long story short, moving house and getting a promotion turn out to be things that impact your modding activities quite a bit. However, I've always been intending to finish this mod. There actually aren't so many things left to do on it, but the things that there are left to do ...

It will happen.

Another area that is hard to recreate in most games is the armistice-like nature of the war in China between 1941 and '44. Chiang was content to mostly sit back during this period to let the US win the war for him and it seemed to suit Japanese purposes at the time as well. Doesn't usually happen ...

If so that would explain it as it was building a fort in the hex next to it and the attack forced them to retreat on the city but the unit kept constructing the fort.

Saw a similar bug with loop commands.

It appears to have been operated in to Jerusalem.
