John Hugo Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 The strategic map needs to be upgraded. I wish the terain part could be elimated in favor of solid colors representing each nation. The nations are not well defined. Solid colors would help you see the unit layout much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheese Panzer Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 That may be a bit extreme, but I wouldn't mind a dot or something similar to show current control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheese Panzer Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Do you mean the strategic map? It's very hard on old eyes since it's so small. If there is something used in the grid I haven't seen it because I always play with the grid turned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mike Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Um.....why aren't the colours on the main map adequate for indicating control?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Panzer Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I should have been more specific - they're fine for national control but every once in a while you think you've got something surrounded and then you find out that one of those tiny diagonal connections wasn't cut off and the pocket is still in supply. So it's more a tactical problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But basically if there's a diagonal then they are not cut off - it's pretty simple, and you've obviously spotted it, so what's the problem??

Rolend Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Originally posted by Cheese Panzer: Sing it, brother! Sometime I spot it - and sometimes I don't. Hence a preference for a control indicator. It's quite frustrating to batter and cut off a city only to find that the "corner supply line" is still open and the defender is back to 10 next turn and your opponent has Operated two armies and tank group in! See my topic on Operated, I don't think you should be able to operate in or out a unit to a square with an enemy next to it. I also agree that it is awfully hard to tell who contols a certain square, it would be nice for some type of indecator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Treadway Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I'd also like the ability to click on the strategic map and have it take me to that space on the operational map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Todd, this has been implemented for the first patch as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
