Scenarios for Solo Player

Primary question: I have had TOAW IV for a few years and just started to take a look at it. I know that the AI is scripted and has some limitations, but I am more interested in a challenging scenario (being successful in "winning") rather than the AI making perfect decisions. What scenarios would ...

I have Advanced Tactic Gold....Shadow Empire?

I have both Advanced Tactic Gold and Shadow Empire. I have not played Advanced Tactic Gold. Does Shadow Empire encompass the same features only with more immersion/4x qualities of Advanced Tactic Gold....or is would there be a value to playing Advanced Tactic Gold in addition to Shadow Empire? I ...

Airplanes without Airfiled on Hex - Start of Game

I have Recon aircraft, but my airfiled is on a different hex, so I can't launch the aircraft. Is there a way to transport the aircraft to the other hex (like on Truck or building a road)? Or is my only option to build an airfield on the hex with the aircraft?

Re: Making Awesome Maps - QGIS and You

Is there a way just to get place names as an overlay without using much as much storage space?

Re: Stamen Replacement Option

For the Open Topo map, is there any way to change it so foreign nation/cities are written in English? Right now most Middle East countries are written in a different language. Similar for Russia.

Re: Q1 2023?

I was wondering if there is any update on a release date. I'm looking forward to the game. Haven't started a new play through of WTW 2 as I'm hoping this new version will be released sometime this quarter.

Name Your Home System Hack

I figured out a way to name your home system. Here are the simple steps:
(1) start a game and note your seed number in the game setup (or enter your own seed number)
(2) when the game starts note what planet you start on
(3) go into the systemnames.txt file in the game files and find the name of the ...

Change the Name of Your Starting System?

Is it possible to change the system name and associated planets? I looked at the editor and could change the planet names and stars, but the entire system remained the same (the original name in the box at the bottom of screen). Any way to change the name of the entire system?

Or, alternatively ...

RE: Can I Change Font Size?

<r> Here's an example. It is all readable, just seems a little grainy. I am not sure if this is just how it's meant to be. I have this on high-resolution 3840x2160 with icons at 200%. I have also checked the file compatibility so that it follows the system DPI. I would think that higher resolution ...

[Logged] Can I Change Font Size?

I am wondering, is there a way to increase the font size without changing my screen resolution or icon percentage in my Windows display settings? In other words, within a setting with CMO? I have a high def Alienware computer and the font is kind of small and a little grainy. Thank you.

Naval Attack vs. Naval Search?

Hex Changes Spot After Clicking on Task Force Screen

<t> I noticed that if I click on a task force and the information screen appears, when I exit the information screen, the highlighted hex box will randomly change to another hex box on the screen. Not a big deal, but I would prefer it to remain on the hex I was currently at (the one with that my ...

<t> Playing intro game of Battle of Coral Reef. Trying to set patrol ark and even if I set it for, say 180 degrees, the lines seem to only show a patrol area of about 90 degrees (approximately). Is the game automatically limiting the patrol area for some reason or am I doing something wrong? Thanks ...

Map Icons - Alternatives?

Can anyone point me to any mods that modify the in-game map icons for ships, submarines, etc.? I find it a little difficult to tell the difference between some of them and wondering if there are alternatives available.

Thanks!
