No fixes necessary, just some balancing tweaks in favor of Axis (Allied AI stomped me last game).

Also is there anyone who would like to make new NATO Counters? [:D]

Hello crispy131313

I would be Glad to make some Nato counters for your MOD.
Just Pure NATO is enough? or some other counters design?

NATO is enough, but I will not handcuff your creativity especially as your are volunteering! [&o]

I have changed some of the unit types which is why I need the update to NATO counters. Division is now slot 2 instead of 3 for example, and I have created Mechanized Divisions, Mountain Division etc.

[SIPRES]

OK I will check localisation file.
The counter I did display is a rework of my previous MOD and its just starting...
So may take time.
I can prepare some standard Nato at first, up to your units ID, should be quicker.

Do you use same nations bitmaps slots as the vanilla version (and MAJOR-6 unused)?

Christophe

[crispy131313]

Thanks, standard NATO would be very welcomed at this time! I do use the same Major Slots as Vanilla as you described, there should be no surprises other then following the Localization file.

- Fixed an Axis Minor Bitmap (Corps)

Also I don't think I mentioned this, Mountain Divisions have +1 ATT, +1 DEF in Mountain Hexes, as well as 5% Damage Evasion while in Mountains. The bonuses are hidden and are not reflected when viewing unit stats.

Here is a template for Nato counters (British Major_01 only).
Just have a look and tell me if you are happy with design (any comment or change is welcome) and slot allocation (in case I misunderstood Localisation file)
Then I can proceed to others nations and think about NATO Zoom version.

[crispy131313]

I really like them! Great choices for the different aspect ratios of Land, Air & Sea. Also the slot allocation looks correct to me.

The only one I think could use a different design is the HQ, which is almost blank.

As for NATO Zoom, you can just change the size. That is what I did for the 3-D Counters. I had to use Paint.Net to change the size exactly to scale, I couldn't figure out how to it on GIMP which I used to change the counter design.

Thanks Again!

The problem with HQ's is that the "NATOflagsprite" file will cover a good part of HQ counter with a Flag image, so not much space remaining (or a really small HQ nato on upper right).
If you have any design suggest I am open no problem.

I was thinking this way, but then the units size (Div, Corps, Army) gets difficult to read after scale down.
I will find a way...

Thanks Again!

I forgot the flag overlays the HQ. In that case they are all great.

There's a few events that you could go with tbh, I'll just list big contributions Canada made in\ world war 2.

-Canada had the third biggest navy in ww2, 95,000 men and women served in the Royal Canadian navy, which was out fitted with 434 commissioned vessels. Canada played a massive royal in the battle of the Atlantic. If it wasn't for Canada bring in supplies to the UK after the fall of France it never would have been able to hold on and fight off Germany.

-The Royal Canadian air force, It reached it's peek in 1944 and had a peak strength of 215,200 of all ranks. The Canadians had 35 oversea squadrons and 43 at home, Canada had something called British Commonwealth training plan in which allied pilots would be trained from and sent overseas to fight.

-Industrial contribution, this part I feel was huge. After the fall of France the UK lost 75,000 of it's 80,000 military vehicles it had during the early bits of the war, so Canada was charged with replacing these vehicles. Canadian industry produced more than 800,000 military transport vehicles, 50,000 tanks, 40,000 field, naval and anti-aircraft guns, plus 1,700,000 small arms. 168,000 vehicles were kept for the Canadian royal army which would make it the most mechanized army in the field of ww2.

I feel that maybe there should be events for the uk where they can get more destroyers from Canada and some goes with the air force, the British Commonwealth training plan was huge because it tried most of the pilots for the war effort. So maybe some events for that so that you can boost your air force maybe. Lastly I would say maybe an event or two about gearing up Canada's war industry, we heavily supplied the allies with aluminum, which I think Canada produced around 10% of all the allied aluminum production. A side note I would like to add is that after the fall of France and the UK was preparing the defence of the island, the Canadians were the most mobile force in the army at that time, so they would have been used as reserves. I feel that Canada should be able to build mechanized units if they can't already.

Those are very interesting data, could you please supply any links? I would be very interested in taking a look for a mod I have in mind

[tog34]

Sadly I can't, it says I need to wait 7 days before I can post links. I'll try and message you the links privately and to anyone else who is interested.

Oh wow, I was dead wrong with the 10% aluminum thing, Canada actually supplied the allies with 40% of all their aluminum! and Nickel was even higher at 95%. That's crazy! Also another fun fact is that the Americans got their uranium from us, which made the atom bombs.

I also want to add that maybe another event you could do is that when Canada declared war on Germany, Canadian soldiers started to arrive in England after two weeks of the declaration of war.

Canada also fought on many fronts throughout the entire war, We fought in Dieppe which was basically an entirely Canadian operation, Operation Husky, Invasion of Italy, D-day and so on. We also had airplanes and ships in the Mediterranean during the north African campaign.

And Canada did all of this while having a very poor army, navy and air force at the start of the war, plus we only had 11 million people.

Here is dropbox link with Natos sprites: Major01 to 08 (I did Major_06 in case you want to add in any later update of your MOD) + Minors
The Zoom version is still on going (test on Major_06 slot)

These sprites are great, thank you very much!

On the Zoomed out NATO icons (Major 6 template) some of the Symbols are outside of the box which could be very tough to see on the Map though. Otherwise, the finished Set is exactly what I was looking for, you have done me a great service.

Thanks for providing some base info I can use, I think the conscription crisis may be interesting as well. As a fellow Canadian (I notice you said we when referencing Canadian contributions) I feel I should have looked more towards Canada already [8D]

[tog34]

Yeah no problem, hopefully it won't make Canada too OP [:D]

Also I didn't know you were a Canadian, I was just speaking for all of us. That's pretty awesome though, cheers!

I have to find a compromise between NATO symbol size and the "XXXX" positioning and size.
Not that much pixels available, I will try different options and see how it goes.

In case you need sprites with different background colors as spares (instead of the usual grey for germany, Blue for French ect...) just let me know as its quite easy to MOD and make a custom colors set.

Christophe

[crispy131313]

I do not think I will need different color sprites, I already left my comfort zone just making new 3-D unit sprites.

Canada won't be OP because I'll have to make sure to balance any changes I make. It cant be as simple as Canada gets more units and sends more MPP into the UK pool without any consequence.
