Thank you!

Great progress! It looks very good already. Just a heads up - what should I be doing exactly at the moment? I know I should bust out some names, but what about the icons?
No worries, I will get all of this down at the end of this week :) I am having four days off so I can really go hardcore mode lol.
-
@victoryfirst Awesome ! I would suggest contacting Elkstar and finding out what he’s interested in doing and you can work out a plan together. maybe he goes Names and you icons ? Idk Just a thought. The LMs obviously need redone but the color tuned down as well. I just went with full on color mode :)
But yea, I’d coordinate with him
-
Alright, I will do that then.
Just realized I used the expression ‘heads up’ wrong xD. Thought it meant something else lol :)
-
@victoryfirst heh heh I knew what ya meant :). Just curious, isEnglish your native language ?
-
I am happy you still understood me, despite that I said some complete nonsense lol. :grin:
No, English is not my native language - that is Dutch (I am from the Netherlands).
English is my secondary language, meine Tertiärsprache ist Deutsch, et ma langue quaternaire est le français :)
We in the Netherlands have to be very keen on languages in order to do stuff abroad since Dutch is a hard language for foreigners - it is rare when an Englishman or Frenchman speaks Dutch fluently :) - so we just have to adapt and be able to speak their language :muscle:
Still, that doesn’t mean I don’t make mistakes, unfortunately! I hope I am still intelligible to you lol.
I warn you! What should I do now? Lol that makes no sense at all xD
-
@victoryfirst hee hee its those gutturals that are had to master lol :) I know some mexican but thats about it. A few phrases in Deutsche.
Sorry I thought you were in England for some reason. Heck, you can’t to be far from The Captain. Should hit that tournament coming up :)
-
@VictoryFirst hey cornelius from the game thread is up for a game. I’m gonna set up a thread in a bit so we can talk there. I know you got a couple other games going and work besides, but the three of us could take it on if you’re interested.
Idk how much triplea experience he has but we’ll find out. Just a heads up. I mean, if you wanna do a support role for him or something. This only the second game ever played so … Actually I remember Captain saying some dudes used triplea to learn the ropes before they came over for ftf game :)
Anyway, however it works out. It’s all about having fun :)
Bet he’ll dig the new Elkstar map lol
-
I am interested and would very much like to play a game with you two guys.
Don’t mind which side I take, I let you guys decide that. Just want to know if Cornelis likes it too. He might want to do just a 1v1.In case we can do 2v1, I guess one guy will play Germany, one Japan, and the other the Allies?
Everything that has to do with this game is a lot of fun IMO, so I am fine with anything :) As long as we are not going to be playing Ludo, I really hate that stupid game lol.
-
@victoryfirst ludo ? Low luck ? If so, I don’t like it either :)
Yea haven’t heard back from him yet. He did upvote the game thread, so he’s aware :)
Idk how much experience he has with triplea. Also, I think he’s probably closer to where you’re from than me :). Maybe you guys could team if he wants ? If not, if he is new to triplea, maybe you could help and advise ?
However it works is cool. We got a new member is even more cool :sunglasses:
-
I gave it a thought and I think you’re right - I am very busy lol. I still want to play with us three, but I propose that I play as Japan then. They only need to go once (unlike Germany/Italy), so you only need to wait for me once if I can’t get to the game immediately, and their turns are not too overwhelming. Plus, I am eager for trying out a new Japan strategy I’ve just learned in G40. Wonders if it works in the Expansion rule set.
Anyway, interested in your guys thoughts :)
By the way, what do you think about these guys?
Let me know if you like them - I will make a lot more in that case :muscle: Just takes a couple of minutes to make lol. Went with 48x48, let me know if that works out.
-
@victoryfirst F yea ! Those are perfect ! We only need to Late 44 as timetable ends with last unit.
Did you get a hold of @Black_Elk ?
-
@VictoryFirst In case you didn’t, I’ll ping him so no duplicate work.
@Black_Elk Victory got the dates for the timetable. Idk if he got a hold of you yet or not, but he wants to corrobrate ? collobobrate ? Idk one of those high dollar college words lol. He wanted to know what he could do to help with the graphic stuff

Yea I haven’t heard back yet but that’d be cool with me. Up to him. However he wants to roll. :)
-
@VictoryFirst so just heard from Elk. He said go Big as he’s busy at the moment and hasn’t gotten started on anything since busting out the KickAss Relief :)
So Names and Icons is what we need. I’m working xml at the moment adding the KickAss :muscle: Army Tokens you made. Just finished G.
I’ll post the list again in a minute
-
@VictoryFirst see if this takes it to ya. If not I’ll paste it

@VictoryFirst For icons we need the LMs. Blue Orange and Green so far but might as well do Red and Yellow too. I’d make em kinda blended or not so bright as my hack ones anyway. Idk what you’d call it. 48x48 seems good.
Then for Time table
Total War
Develop Weapons
Heavy Bombers
Take Over ItalyI think that’s it. Should only take a few days for me to get this ready xml wise and we can add the images once game has been started, so I’m gonna see if @Cornelis-Post wants to wait a few days, then we can break in the new map.
It’s gonna end up being the goto/default, so might as well use a different map for Game 3 too lol.
Anyway Rock On

@VictoryFirst I know said go max but looked a little too Big so shrunk a bit. Still look Cool af LOL
Think there 68x48 now
-
@VictoryFirst oh yea can’t remember if I said or not, but “png” images need to be small letters. Not “PNG” or they won’t show up.
I guess that’d be “lower case” for the educated, which you obviously are. :)
I just kinda figure shit out as I go lol
-
Wow, I like the new map so much! Those boxes are now in the exact same style as the other territories, that’s so cool! Like the logo too.
Yeah, I contacted Elk, and we arranged that he would do the names and I the icons. If he is unable to set aside time for the names, I can do those as well, although it might take some time as I have no experience with that.
Thanks for showing a picture from the map with the AG markers. The AG markers indeed look cool, although I think that they stand out a bit too much. To me, it looks as if they don’t fit in the picture, together with all the other units. Might need to give them a shadow, or a less vibrant color. But that will be something for later I guess, first we need to do the important stuff. This is still a prototype after all :) Can’t wait to start a game with @Cornelis-Post with the boxes and markers!
