- The naval comments written onto the map seem out of place to me (explaining the Soviet Black Sea fleet etc.)
- The eastern USSR hasn't been finished with town names, giving the mod an incomplete feel.
- The 'Valdai Hills' label really looks out of place.

This mod is a beautiful piece of work, extremely well done.  Though I find the town names clutter the map too much for my tastes -- however I love the factory, resource, port etc. icons.  Is there any chance of a 'slim' version of the mod with everything but town names?




Hi there. Thanks for the positive remarks.

If there is significant demand for a slim version, that can be produced, but to be honest I haven't heard anyone else asking for one.

Maybe you can run a poll?

It's back-breaking work to enter all the town names and around the time I got to the eastern USSR I started to realize how many annoying game issues there were, so I stopped playing the game and working on the mod.

I have come back recently to test the latest release via PBEM. If I get hooked again I might finish the mod for completeness sake.

PM me your email address and I will send you a small set of files with no Valdai label and no naval info.

Now for the semi/low-level bad news: There is an error South of Orel.

"Malo-archangelsk" is one of the three towns/villages labeled on the railroad between Orel and Kursk. The proper name there should be "Ponyri".

This can be easily verified online by entering 52.32°N 36.29°E into Google maps. Note that the major North-South rail line runs through Ponyri, NOT Maloarchangelsk.
Another verification source is David M. Glantz. Any one of his numerous books on the 1941-1945 War in the East - Great Patriotic War - should have at least one map of the Orel-Kursk area.

Hopefully this post reaches the goal of being helpful, not a detraction, to the superb Mod produced.

Hi. I don't doubt you.

I have labelled the map using the names coded into the game to avoid confusion. There are a number of naming errors in the game but until they are fixed, I propose to use the same names on the maps as those coded in WiTE.

If I didn't do that, then you would see 'Ponyri' on the map, but Maloarchangelsk would pop up when you click on Ponyri.

Perhaps you can post your observation as a bug and it might get fixed?

I am only working on updating the grid version now because 99% of players seem to report that they always play with the grid on.

There is an original non-grid version (it was available via the Wiki) but it almost doubles the effort to support that with updates, so I don't propose to.

See if you can PM Cookie Monster to see if he can get you access to the non-grid files.
