Superb. Thanks.

My graphics are always in flux, I tinker with it all the time.

Yes but the cities are too big for the scale. I was thinking of something much smaller. Don't worry, not a good idea, keep the production circles for the cities, this is fine.

Not so fast my friend. How about this?

Antoher one, slightly more pronounced urban graphic.

I prefer this one. This is very good and exactly what I was thinking of.
Well done.

I like your new borders also.

Just two things:

1/ I prefer the cities with grey inside the circle. Like this, I see them better under rain or snow.
Superb weather graphics by the way.

2/ Flak is a kind of white on white. Would it be possible to put some colors inside the circle?

---

---

I was thinking of putting the same color code that the vanilla version. Red is 6 AAA, Yellow is 1 to 3, ...

---

And sorry but, ultra minor, if possible, could you please center the word Unit a little more?

---

Look at this, your mod has renewed my interest for Europe. I will soon be leaving the Pacific.

Thank you so much for doing this.

---

I will soon release the newest version of this mod with some of your requests incorporated.

A different marsh/swamp. Slight 3D effect.

Yayornay?

Personaly, I prefer the old one. 3D is a little too pronounced compared to the Open terrain I think. And what is sure is that I don't like your new convoy icon. Do you plan to have several variations? So that one can keep this or this.

Making a good merchant marine icon is so hard. It needs to be small, because otherwise it will clutter the map. However, due to it needing to be so small, all detail is lost.

Also the engine kind of messes it up, depending on the zoom level en movement. At least on my machine.

If you have a good icon, give it to me

How about this?

Better but could you please check how it works with options Y then S. I am searching for other icons but this one is already nice.

Why don't you reuse the minefield icon to add a bunker inside the blue circle? Perhaps not a blue circle anymore but a brown one. And perhaps a bigger circle can do the trick.

All right so I work a little my idea about a bunker for Coastal Defense and here is what I think would be nice. I just replaced the Coastal Defense graphic with a bunker inside a brown circle. Here is the idea.

Hmmm, let me see what I can do.
Meanwhile the flak looks a little different...

Coastal defense

Excellent, your Coastal Defense is nice. I like it.

Regarding flak, I prefer something more generic. A flak 88 is London is strange... And there is lot of brown between the flak, the production and the city. I prefer your previous generic flak icon.

By the way, there is no risk of overlapping between flak and coastal defense in one hex? Since you have moved the flak on the left side instead of keeping it centered.

While we are at fortifications, your fortifications lines are too big. This is not the China wall.

The vanilla version with only bunker is a better representation.

---

The Maginot line was more a system of separated bunkers connected underground.
