v1.09.00

Post by Christolos »

Just updated to v1.09.00 but can't find the patch notes? The link in the the Main menu goes nowhere.
Clicking on the 'What's New.pdf' doesn't open anything either???[&:]

I notice that the reports no longer dynamically resize. Instead they all scale according to the highest overall value. I assume that this is not intended?

Problem solved. I had a glitch with Acrobat Reader that was solved with a restart.

According to the patch notes: Improved GRAPHS screen readability with a relative max value between all nations per category (mdsmall)., this was intended.

For the changes in the GRAPHS screen, the thinking here with respect to the relative scale for each category, is that for any relative comparisons between nations, e.g. if you wish to compare your spending vs your opponent's spending in let's say Research and Development, it should ideally be easier to review and compare if the charts are at the same scale.

Is everyone finding this to not be the case?

The National Morale chart needs reworking, It only goes up to 110%.

So in the early part of the game you cannot see what German NM is.

I know you can have the NM bars on the top of the screen, but I prefer to play without them on to max the screen size.

I think you are trying to solve a problem that doesn't really exist

The biggest impact is upon MPP report

It is now very difficult to determine the values for minor nations (particularly as the war goes on and major destructive events raise the denominator)

For most charts 90% of the screen is now wasted white space

on the subject of reports: any chance we can get the end of turn mpp summary report added?

We had some requests for some changes, I saw the merit of it, but I can also see the point here as well. What I can do is perhaps add a toggle so that you can switch back and forth between graph settings as desired, e.g. so that it can be both ways going forward.

Hi Hubert/Bill

Since the V1.09 update the "Tournament" button has disappeared from the PBEM screen.

Or will it re-appear when the tournament restarts?

Most logical way to handle that would be to put the graph dimensions in the Localization file(s).

Correct, it only shows when you are in a tournament and have games to play.

The Y value on the chart changes from game to game and from different points in game. This is why it was dynamically handled in the past, and it shouldn't be an issue for me to set it back to the way it was, with of course an additional toggle so that players can view it with a common maximum when examining relative data between nations (if so desired).

IMO a toggle button between the old graphs, which I like more, and the new ones would be the best way to solve everyone's preferences. Hope it's not to hard to implement.

I was going to suggest the toggle feature too, as I like both depending on what I want to see. For example, it is difficult to guess an exact (or close to it) number on the y axis when it is too compressed.
