I was thinking that some people liked the current behavior. AIvAI actually does have the micromap center each move....ORIGINAL: SMK-at-work
Ralph bought up the subject of hte next patch with comments about hte huge 2D map, so don't blame me!!
One thing I'd really like to see is the overview map in hte bottom right corner jump to the position of the current unit selected...any chance??
BTW the bombardment radii are bloody brilliant - makes planning long range missions with aircraft so much easier - poor ol' Buzz got a taste of it in move one of the FitE we jsut started with the LW ranging out to beyond Smolensk to hit bridges and airfields![&o][&o]
Here here, me too.ORIGINAL: SMK-at-work
I guess it's only needed on big maps like FitE - if the whole map fits on one page of the mini-map then there's no problem, but in FitE I sometimes have a bit of trouble figuring out what part of the map I'm on in the main display!!
This won't happen, as it is part of the decision matrix you must take into account for your overall troop deployments. In other words, one of the many "interesting decisions" you need to make. If you want artillery to fire defensively, leave it in tactical or local reserve modes. Mobile is for conservation of supply, or directed bombardments.ORIGINAL: freeboy
I would like mobile artillery to be e able to fire defensively ...
While this may "sound good" from a "realism" standpoint, it would drive the game toward even more micromanagement, as well as imposing a hit on performance. Also it would necessitate additional UI coding to adequately account for hex capacities in an easy to follow method. At the overall level of abstraction that exists in the game, it would be an unnecessary addition that detracts more than it would enhances.ORIGINAL: freeboy
and all units that move throug ha hex to add a penely to following units per turn...
This no longer happens in TOAW. It hasn't since TOAW I, or TOAW II. These days, it is an old wive's tale kept alive by the fact that some of the strategy guides still extant on the web are close to ten years old, and were written by people playing those earlier versions. In short, I would would take anything written before 2001, with a spoonful of salt, as much of it is seriously out of date, with the advent of Century of Warfare, and now, TOAW III.ORIGINAL: freeboy
... and for units that are player 1 to not be punished for using all the movement and if forced to retreat evaporating instead

I'd like to see some improvements to the events screen. (these are probably on someone's list already)
2. Make it easier to find events, a larger window or better tree.
ORIGINAL: Zort
1. To list the events like they are when they were put in. If there is a way to do this now once one of the other buttons is pushed I don't know. Except for using the dumping feature. Example I left event 500 open, once I selected either of the two sort buttons event 500 is filled in. But when I go to look for event 501 there is no 501.

Never use the sort buttons. Ever. Event order matters.

He's not kidding. I learned this the hard way. Luckily I had saved. Just to emphasize: NEVER EVER EVER use the sort buttons!!!!![:-]
