I cannot seem to get past this point when trying to load the expansion mod
I see the initial scree where it says the ...

I did not get a chance to look over this mod that extensively yet, did you get a chance to look over / do anything with the troop/vehicle Icons ?for ground combat?
I did some changes back in the day because I thought they blended in too much into the background

The troop types are now LARGER ...

Unless Im missing a graphics mod somewhere, for me at least, it would be nice to have better appearing vehicles.

The Graphics of the infantry are fine, but the straight "top down" vehicles I do not like as taking away from the iconic images people generally remember of Sherman, Tiger Tanks etc in ...

<t> At this time I have not double checked all the races, but there are two or three that need to have the transports fixed to show up in the AI build list.<br/>

I like this mod and was using it for MORE VISIBLE TROOPs Icon mod v1.0<br/>
When I did V2.0 I realized it would be way to much work at this time to add the extra ...

<t> Many of those troop icons look PRETTY GOOD. I'll have to see how they look on the map. Ive been experimenting with MORE VISIBLE TROOP icons (now V2.0) from vanilla to get them to show MORE VISIBLy on the map. Outlining seems to help as on different planet backgrounds, depending on troop color ...

<t> I've been using this, it seems rather crashy and intermittent when compared to vanilla, especially if looking at troops on the planet screen does not always bring up the surface screen without the planet policy screen coming in ahead of it, or some kind of exceptiojn error dialogue box (I can ...

More Visible Troop Icons V1.0
(supports Extended Universe)
See Image in previous post for example of how they cook on the map
FYI works in mods too, using it in the Star Trek mod

Thanks for the quick reply, I think I got it now, how to retain the default settings and now have more knowledge if I choose to experiment with fighter bomber loadouts. AND especially for clarification on the install process!!!

<t> How do you edit back in the troop transports for the Federation? I understand they were removed and have to be added manually (which I'd rather let the AI handle).<br/>

Moreover I do not see troop transports in the AI Federation design list(for when the Fed is an AI empire), another ...
