From what I can see, you need to fix the shield placements (the blue dots).

Not in ToT. The health bar ist set by the program no matter what you do with the unit file.

The unit that is 2nd from the left on the top row needs to be mirrored to match the rest.

[Patine]

@Curt: What do you mean by mirrored, and how does one do that?

[curtsibling]

All units in ToT must face to the right, for the graphic to display properly.

It involves masking the unit in question and flipping it hozirontally.

I will make the changes if thou wishes!

[curtsibling]

Here you are!

[Patine]

Thanks a lot, Curt! I really appreciate the help! BTW, do either you or fairline object to me using the AA-gun and transport graphics from Dictator, now that it's all but released? I'm otherwise stuck with renovated Nemo's for those units.

[curtsibling]

If you can wait until Dictator is fully released, you can use the AA...

But at the moment, the transport ship is yours, if you need it.

[Patine]

I probably won't be done these F-ing events until Dictator's fully released, plus I'm currently in the process turning all Thai cities to Japanese, giving Japan Thai Infantry, and eliminating the separate Thai player altogether (AGRICOLA was right, as an able ally, they screw up supply lines and movement in Southeast Asia and eventually Southern China, but with their units knocked to 0 Move, they're useless, so I'll just have Japan annex them).

[Patine]

Oh, I neglected to thank you for the units allowance. Sorry about that. Thanks!

[typhoon]

Any plans on who to replace them with?

My pleasure, dude!

What factions do you have in the scenario at the moment?

[Patine]

Currently, I have the Soviets, Japanese, Dutch, Americans (including Canadians and Australians), British/Indians, and Chinese, with the Barbarians being the Communist Chinese and Neutrals. I had thought that six players should be sufficient. Any thoughts?

[AGRICOLA]

Assuming that the scen is playable only as Japan, the only other civ that really matters until early to mid 1945 is the US. The Dutch are eliminated very quickly and, excepting the US, the rest are minor players for most of the scen. I cannot think of any additional civ which would make sense in either game or historical terms.

IMHO, the emphasis should be on making the Soviet, Chinese and British/Indian defences strong enough to withstand anything short of an all-out Japanese attack and the US powerful enough to first limit Japanese expansion and then to counterattack. The Chinese Communists are potentially a great wild card if you can manage to get them to disrupt whatever the Japanese are doing in China.

[curtsibling]

I would agree with Agricola...Making the commies a civ might interesting...

But adding the Australians would be good too...

[Patine]

I too agree with AGRICOLA. Problem, Curt, with making either the Communist Chinese or Australians as a civ is that the Red Chinese held no big cities in that day, and a civ of small cities would likely quickly fall, and I need US-Australian cooperation, including their units occupying the same spaces, in the Solomons.
