Ah alright.

I've made a scenario with the allies being the default starting side, but when played in hotseat the Axis goes first nonetheless. What gives?

I think the movement arrows are a bit too big, obscuring units and terrain alike too much. Is it possible to edit them to be smaller? I found the "battleArrow" images and modified them to my taste, where are the movement arrows' files?

Thanks!

Unit that are destroyed in the previous scenarios stays destroyed even if I set a STR recovery %, right?

Sure, I was wondering if the game had a "prepackaged solution".

Assume I have two scenarios that will be connected by a campaign. Assume all strength(STR) and readiness (REA) are 100 for the first scenario.

I see STR and REA values can carry over between scenarios of a campaign if the unit's name is the same in the scenarios.

What happens if I set different ...

Is there a way to save a scenario's full replay? I'd love to convert them into videos/GIFs.

Saint Ruth wrote: Mon Mar 02, 2026 9:12 pm It depends on the scenario, but some units have a free setup within their zones if that's what you mean?

No, I mean having some units in hotseat scenario that the player can't give orders to, instead having them only get orders through the ingame AI scripting.

The challenge with TOAW maps versus other games is that the TOAW terrain spills over into other hexes - on purpose.

The biggest challenge is rivers - they do not follow hexsides. So, you'd have to erase the rivers. Then it becomes a whole thing - which is where I'm at.


Ah right, the rivers ...

I was wondering if it's possible to put some units under AI control in an Hotseat scenarios. The "FIXED" conditions apply, but maybe setting up orders for units would be superseded by player's orders.

It's a good game with great mechanics but its graphics hold it back. It's also not part of an established franchise like TOAW, nor the sequel of a pretty innovative game like Flashpoint Campaigns. Casual players are intimidated by the "serious" look and the advanced mechanics.

To me it's perfect ...

One size serif gold with a black outline is not attractive. My overarching question is; why do we have to make an aesthetically better map image to sit over the game's map?

I was trying to avoid three steps because I'm not good with software like GIMP or Photoshop;
1st - get ...

Fonts?

Ah right, it was called "sea", sorry.

Am I missing something? I cannot find lake terrain, rail lines, and what is "WoodsContent"?

Also - how do you name cities, towns and rivers?


There are no rail lines in the game, you can just paint them on your "graphic overlay" but they won't have any effect ingame.

"WoodsContent" appears to ...

I will soon have a simple mod for "good" finished.


+++That's it... I don't know if there's any interest... this is only for Stalingrad. I don't own Overlord. I've compiled and adapted various mods and created some myself. This way you can generate maps without much work...+++


I ended up ...

Great AAR, thanks.

I'm tapping into the almost complete turnaround of the telling of the history of the Eastern Front in my lifetime. Through the 1980s, we accepted things like Guderian's and Manstein's books as unadulterated facts - basically "We won, we won, Look how smart we were, Tiger tanks! And then they were ...

I've gathered enough information to get into detailed battles in Army Group Center versus the Western Front in Summer 1941. I'm working on both games, TOAW and WEGO, concurrently.

That TOAW being hard work getting the OOBs entered is frustrating, and, that Governato and I have talked about the ...

I followed your steps and got it.

Glad to help a fellow modder

Are you porting a TOAW4 scenario in Stalingrad?
