@Arkady,
The AI always aims for a 2 HQ basic structure. 1 HQ to catch production and its suborinates to command regular units.
You might want to try simplifying the chain of command with like OKW HQ and Corps HQs only and see if it handles stuff better.
I will have to play your scenario myself to give a better analysis.
kind regards,
Vic

While the first screenshots you posted featured the standard AT graphics, the pictures in the AAR thread now show those of a map mod. Now, I don't know a single bit about the game's editor (just played around with setting up a map and the river draw tool got the better of me), so will it still be possible to play this campaign with "just" the standard graphics installed?

Why that ? The map mod is so much nicer [:)] !
Well, to do as you want you have to change the masterfile, if the scenario kept the standard-but-mapmodder masterfile from Nick69, back to the standard one - that's just changing a file name somewhere, very easy.
But if the scenario is not linked to a masterfile, it's not really easy, you'd have to change all the sprites/graphics for each terrain by hand...

No, it's not ... [8|] Terrain might look more realistic, but I really
hate how rivers, roads and cities look. The first two are barely visible and the cities just look cheap and all the same, it seems.
Well, time (or Arkady) will tell. [:(]

Not that I've tried it but wouldn't it be possible to just replace the graphics you dislike with the originals? Otherwise you can easily change the color of e.g. roads to something that stands out a bit more.

I changed terrain graphics, now I'm using part of Nick69's mod.
Default masterfikle is disconnected, all changes was made directly into my scenario.
I like the look of the mod but as you point out, different people have different feels about it.
There are two ways how to change look of the scenario after I'll release it.
You can edit scenario and point landscape types to original files or you can overwrite files in the pack with original grapahic files.
The second way is probably easier, I describe what files you should change for roads/rivers and cities in readme file for scenario.

I've one question...probably to Vic
How game engine handle letters from non-english alphabets ?
I use original Czech town names, with carons and acute accents, as my system uses proper encoding I can see names correctly.
Question is what happen in english only Windows, are those letter omitted ?
So instead of "České Budějovice" or "Příbram" you will see " esk Bud jovice" and "P bram" ?
Or should I play it safe and change names to simple "Ceske Budejovice" or "Pribram" ?
