RTW w/o icons for units and techs

[ptzvetan]

I'm playing RTW scenario and my units and techs don't have the small iconswhich to indentify them - nly names.

Does smbd else have the same problem.

Is there a describtion of the events which will happen or you have to finished it once.

[Dale]

Hmm.... never heard anyone else with this problem.

Does it affect other parts of BtS as well, like the standard game or other mods?

[ptzvetan]

10x for the reply.

I found the RtW: Information Thread RtW: Information Thread

[ptzvetan]

And here how it looks

It never hapened in other mods or in the original game

[Dale]

Do you have low-res graphics on? I think that might be the problem here.

[ptzvetan]

Realy thank you.
I'm playing the game since Civ 2 first came out, and this is a time when I fill stupid.

You mean it's not supposed to look like that? I thought it was just a novel way of showing the units to give a sort of a historical WWII feel to the mod. Guess you're not the only stupid one ptzvetan.

I think he means the weird dots, e.g. in the "Leads To" box.

Yes, the dots in "Leads to".

The unit icons (NATO symbols) are as they should be.

[ptzvetan]

Yes I was speekeing about the dots,
but at the same time I was wandering and for the unit.
Now you enlightned me
Still I don't find it very user-friendly.

It's more for the war board-game grognards (like myself) from the 1980's.

[ptzvetan]

Don't get me wrong I love the war especially I manianc on WWII
Your post are the only one which I post for the last 2 years !

I tried the germans on Prince level and it was very easy.
I'll try now on Emperor level.

Guess I'm still a dummy though.

I too find the icons a little frustrating as I can't easily tell what is what.

I don't mean to bash the mod as obviously a lot of work went into it but being British I do have to point out a couple of gripes, hehe.

1) Why do the British workers all sound distinctly American? :P

2) Why does Great Britain start off with part of the South covered by France's influence?


Oh and not a gripe but have you noticed that you get messages such as "has been captured by the France" and "the Germany" ?

Cheers.

Odd that you can get George Patton (great general) is born in Berlin

Unfortunately, you can't have civ-specific GP's.

Thats why I recognised them - brings back memories of all those S&T mags with board games in them.

Keep them in, it makes the game different. Those players not used to them, will soon get to recognise what they represent.

Well you can - but it is a lot of work to do it.

The Total Realism mod have done it for all their civs. Do not know if that part of the mod has been released as a seperate component though.
