bharris Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I just started playing Strategic Command. Whenever I click on the War Map button, I see a larger version of the small map on the main screen - in other words, only the terrain features are shown - no political boundaries (although the flags are there), no hexes, and no unit icons. I have modified my unit icons to use the TOAW versions - could this be the issue? Please help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuniworth Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 dont know. But you shouldnt be trying to hack the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iriemon Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 The "war map" is basically only used for DOWs and checking other data. It doesn't give you a "bird's eye" view of the tactical map and counters. I have seen a couple screen shots which do show a bird eye view of the map with the counters. Perhaps this was something that was done on earlier versions of the game? Maybe some of the old timers can comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bharris Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 Yes! I have seen those screenshots in old reviews of the game, and that's where I found out that this did exist at one point. I just re-installed the game with no mods, and the war map still doesn't give me the bird's-eye view - no counters, no hexes. If I could get that view, it would really be great.

I'm using version 1.07, patched up from the original version 1.0. I'm also using some unit graphics and UI mods that I've cobbled together.

bharris Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 I was using the Elite Edition, but decided to re-install from the original game disk I have (Wargamer's Strategy six-pack). I really wish I could get my war map to show the political boundaries and counters - Mr. Cater, if you're there, please help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuniworth Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 My warmap is also a mess. Germany is shaded purple and it is very hard to recognize troops. Don't know why but it doesnt matter. Im became the last z-league champ(the only league that counted) wthout it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
