Re: A question regarding supply for Japanese units defending Pacific islands

This is because any units that are surrounded on all adjacent land hexes by enemy units can only reinforce to a maximum of strength 5.

Re: DE 305 no longer works?


Well, yeah HC , but that still leaves (a) the apparent fact that the Terr script WAS working as designed in the past, and (b) that YOU guys were the ones who put it in, not us modders. Why would you put in a script which doesn't do what the script writeup says it does? Note the DE fires when the ...

Re: Question for Bill about Major countries and supply + sharing bmp folders


I presume that answer is “no” for 1/ and “yes” for 2/ and 3/, but I prefer to have absolute certitude before to modify my actual work

You are correct, the only extra thing to add is that air units will not receive supply from HQs that they are not attached to.


Second question : is there any ...

Re: New Player Frustration

Placing it within the resource will maximise the supply it receives and can therefore distribute, so while this won't necessarily apply for all situations, as a rule of thumb it is what I would advise.

If you press S on the keyboard you can see the supply level for all hexes in your possession, and ...

Re: New Player Frustration

Hi

Supply is crucial, and low supply will make units fight less well, it also affects their ability to reinforce, so if you can, pursue a strategy to maximise your own supply, using HQs to generate supply (keeping them in or close to supply sources), while ideally reducing enemy supply by cutting ...

Re: Question For Hubert & Bill about sound design

The way the sounds work isn't likely to change, though in answer to question 2, for tank on tank action sounds 9 or 10 are used, for tank against anything else, the engine uses 7 or 8.

Re: Question for Hubert, Bill and scripts specialists

There are no easier options I'm afraid, though one thing you may find relevant to try when applicable is using a surrender script to have a Major surrender to itself, as this will make it change sides.

Re: Question for Bill and Hubert about modding of terrains tiles

They are largely indifferent, the really big factor being what actual land mass you connect these to, and if you don't connect it, then it is assailable from all directions.

Re: Question for Hubert and Bill about attack-defence

I think it is possible, although it will depend on the unit type, as artillery won't suffer except from counter-battery fire.

Best to test out what you're thinking and see what happens.
