Looks nice but I'd have to un-train my brain in order to stop seeing a flat world dotted with sinkholes! (As mentioned, elevation is usually depicted with a lighter shade.)

Not convinced this engine will work for ACW. Screenshots, and SC games experience, suggest that this will play a lot like SC:WW1 with fairly immobile, somewhat impenetrable fronts attriting each other, rather than the permeable war of mobility that it was. The game's scale and lack of stacking threa...

* Weird foreign keyboard layouts notwithstanding.

Yes, agreed with all of the above points. I found the AI to be as good as random in terms of identifying and defending key locations, and attacking intelligently. Often key locations would not be defended _at all_ or, somewhat hilariously, would have a few trucks lingering there instead. Essentially...

"Contour elevation lines" - would it be possible to add drop shadows to the elevation lines like it is in vanilla game? Without the drop shadows is not possible to see if the is a hill or a valley That's not really how contour lines work but the game does help in making that distinction b...

Doesn't matter what war game I'm playing, I always watch these kinds of videos before starting a campaign / scenario. There's almost always something out there.

Yes, the \graphicsAlt dir makes things like this a breeze.

This is not the most active of fora, I've since discovered.

MAP CLARITY CONTOURS MOD A 'graphics only'* change mod that aims to reduce the amount of map clutter where it matters most, and improves the visibility of elevation changes by adding contour lines. For best results use this mod with Map Hex Grid: ON. * Applying this mod will not require saved games...

The amount of detail (aka. clutter) reduces the higher up the map is viewed from, with maximum detail at 'ground level' detail, and minimum detail at 'situation level' detail. Note: hex grid has been inverted from full white to mid-dark. Zoom level 3 (ground level detail)... zoom3.jpg Zoom level 2 (...

Also, if anyone has an answer to this https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... 8&t=380285 question that would be grand.

I've been fiddling with adding contour lines to the map... contours.jpg (...as well as a few other simple visual clarity tweaks.) I'm not convinced these contours make elevation any more distinguishable, and whilst a higher density of contour lines might help that's not really a go'er with the way t...

What are the .png files that draw the hex grid and the counter highlight (not the selected hex but the subordinate unit counter highlight)?

Here it at 40%, let me know if this helps or not. I can also try 30% and if that fails I can remove it. I'm not trying to have a pop at you but 80-90% of your post screen size is signature fluff; eats up a lot of screen acreage and makes the forum awkward to scan. Getting rid of sig images entirely...

Is that what they are then, temporary fortification names left in / not completed when the scenario was built?

Not all forts have these dots so presumably they don't need to have dots left in them.

Also, it might be worth putting something in place to stop GIANT signature images, like the one two posts above this one.

I see white dots on the map, as follows...
They only appear on Fortification locations but not on all Fortification locations. Most visible at night.

What are they?

At anything other than 100% zoom the post body font looks nasty - all spidery and difficult to scan-read. It's not great at 100% either. Can we choose another font for post body text?

...and if you click Submit again while it's figuring out what to do it will post twice, as above. And here.
