It's remarkable that this is the first and only localization for this game, more remarkable that it is unofficial. Love that Chinese can-do spirit. Here's a title animation I created for the Chinese version, just unzip and replace the original "GlobeLoop.mp4":

Close enough since the pentagons are about the same size as the hexes. Perhaps someone would use it in large scale wargames in the future. Thanks for the picture!

Looking further into it, I've found that you can't project a hex grid over the globe. What you need is a polyhedron, or triangles. This of course wouldn't work for wargames: we don't want connected corners. The triangles can be merged to form a mixture of hexagons and pentagons as in a soccer ball ...

#1 I am alone. I would have to create an entirely new engine with 3d modeling. I don't have the manpower resources
#2 The Pacific on Europe scale is simply unplayable. It would be 4x the size of the map.
#3 Putting the rest of the world in the game makes it unplayable.
#4 The A.I. would be ...

Map projection is a big deal when it comes to games of these scale. Instead of map projection, I wish the next Pacific War game could use a 3D globe with a hex grid imposed upon it. Everything else on the map could remain 2D. It shouldn't be hardware intensive. Build-in or lower-end GPU could do ...

Bessieres cavalry pursued the Austrians north, and an engagement occured 15000 cavalry vs 10000 inf, Bessieres with a 'probe' order. The battle ended inconclusively, but with a withdrawal across the river to the north by the Austrians.

Bessieres force is exhausted and must go on a ...

Good intel, thanks. Did you review the Royal Navy in the latest patch? I was finding they were too much Torpedo specialty by default. Maybe you have some more data than me.

I do. But it's hard to get people to play the games I like. Most of the games we ended up playing are those from Columbia Games or GMT card driven games. Card games are all alike and had little to do with the actual war in question. But games like these do get on the table. When I look at a new game ...

Well first...
Torpedo should not be allowed to be on a BB, CV or CA.

They were used on DD and CL, and I have read of a few CA that may have had the torpedo.

All Japanese CA had torpedoes. Nelson-class BB had torpedoes, too. One even claimed a hit on the Bismarck. Torpedoes may or may not have ...

String quartets, helps me think.

Ah yes, Royal Mail. Shipped stuff from UK to Japan, they took the detour to Gibraltar. I kept the package as a memento.

<t> Next we'll be arguing over the use of "East" or whether the game should be called "The Great Patriotic War". Even that would be more meaningful discussion than this one. Seriously, I wish the developers would ignore this request entirely and focus on making the game play authentic rather than ...

<t> It did took part in Operation Blau in the Caucasus. Again it is a minute detail that has to be abstracted in this game. Same reason Skorzeny, Operation Greif, or the SIG (whose exploits the film Tobruk was based on, now that's sexy) isn't found in WitW. Can't expect a a grand strategy game to ...

Why should it be in the game? Its role, romantic as it may be, wasn't big enough to justify a special rule just for it in a game of this scale.

Why don't you start with WitE now since you already own it? There could be no harm.

<t> Very interesting proposal, pbrowne! But do you meant to say "6" segments, not "8"?<br/>
<br/>
Imagine a system in which movement are still hexagonal, but terrain is 6 times more granular. WitE2 could visually employ this system. Gameplay wise, it's probably too late to incorporate granular ...

Are you talking about all of the overlay colors and fire lines type of stuff from the two User Prefs tabs? If you are there is no means to reset them other than reloading the game unfortunately or getting a fresh FP_Colors.c32 file. Deleting that ...

How do I reset "Game Colors" to default? I've tried deleting "flashpoint.ini" under game folder but it doesn't revert the colors, just my preferences.
