Now the troops just look somewhat retarded, but that’s ok. :grin:

13 is ideal, after that all the numbers are too big and bolded

i am speaking of BM

[trulpen]

This is BM3, size 16.

[Amon-Sul]

the numbers are white bolded. its ugly. 13 is the biggest size without bolding

[trulpen]

Forgot to zoom out a bit, now that I have the opportunity. Was the point as before mentioned. Think it looks very good now!

[regularkid]

Hey guys. Here’s a game-in-progress Adam and I are playing which showcases some of the interesting scenarios and strategies that have already emerged in PTV. Among other things, note the eastern front shenanigans (airbase in Stalingrad), dynamic pacific, and heroic defense of the western front by the Germans. I feel like the game is leaning towards the Axis, but its still close.

We’re different.

I like to see.

I really like a detail with this new map, which is that Leningrad and Stalingrad is called just that.

I understand it’s called Russia because it’s the nation, but I’d actually prefer Moscow there as well, as London, Paris, Berlin, Rome etc. That’s what I call those territories anyway when I write about them here.

I think Egypt could be divided to Egypt and Cairo, with 1 IPC for both, or 2 + 1 like in the Philippines.

Eastern India could be Calcutta, or similarly divided.

A s o.

The UK-Pac objective, is it supposed to say z73… 81 or as it is now with z71?

I’m asking since z71 and z72 are part of the Atlantic, not the Indian Ocean.

[Adam514]

@trulpen Yeah numbers need to be changed on the objectives panel, it’s the Indian Ocean.

techically speaking, sz 71 is part of both Atlantic and Indian ocean.

Actually New Dehli was the capital of India from 1931, right? Here there could also be a choice if New Dehli should be the UK-Pac capital and then it would be hidden inland and not exposed to amphibious attacks. Not sure that would be a good change, or maybe it would.

You mean 73, right? It’s the new map.

why do Russia, China and USA start with less PUs then production?

[simon33]

Interesting, many things to like here.

Re: Mongolia the change makes it simple but it also nullifies Mongolia if the USSR wants to help China. Perhaps the new rule is too simple.

At first glance, I would have thought these changes would make it hard to win as Axis. But your play testing is that it is quite competitive? Hmm.

Are you sure you want to allow ICs to be built on Sumatra, Java, Borneo and Manilla? Perhaps unlikely to happen, unless Japan is getting hammered.

Don’t really follow why N Italy no longer connects to W Germany or France. Was the former just to prevent the W Germany -> Egypt flight? Or why Iwo Jima was moved to be a border island. Or why each of the money islands is now worth 1 less. I doubt making Siciily <-> Rome a walkable connection was a good move.

A couple of things I don’t think went far enough. No convoy zone in SZ5? No Canada as a playable power? Keeping plunder on first capture? No paratroopers? Still able to produce non-capital ships without naval bases?

Don’t really love the style of the new borders - they look like they were drawn by hand. Perhaps that’s a taste thing.

Particularly like the Med changes though. Crete & Malta become more important.

@regularkid I’m having a problem with displaying this map/game compared to others (BM3 & OOB). The map moves slowly, redraws are delayed, and multiple times I have Java Heap Space errors where I just have to restart the game.

Is there some setting/optimization I can choose to help with this? Using Linux system with TripleA version 1.9.0.0 - 13066.

[simon33]

Assuming you’ve already tried exiting and restarting Triple-A (there are significant memory leaks), you could try increasing the max memory in the TripleA.vmoptions file in the root installation directory.
