In my opinion, outline are too thin, I am unable to see which unit is refitting.

If the counters are too small (although after getting accustomed it should be nothing really bothersome), try playing at the lowest zoom level. It looks pretty good when zoomed in.

Many thanks.

I just started the game, extracted the files then started another instance of it to compare the Demyansk scenario side by side and it's a major improvement. It's very clear the conditions are snowy, but you can clearly see the underlying detail of the terrain in a way that's much harder with vanilla.

Thank you for this.

What's next...?

Regards,
ID

1 small problem. I was able to install map and weather but not forts. Any ideas? Belphegor (who is very computer literate unlike me) has the same problem

If you're looking for requests / suggestions, then something to display (with your usual subtlety) the ARM / HI and resource hexes would be nice...

Thanks,

It doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the file - compression and content checked ok. If you could be a bit more detailed perhaps we could figure it out...

I know this is a very stupid question but you do have the 'toggle fort levels' on?

That was actually in the original plan, and industrial areas are displayed in my PzC mods, but I eventually decided against it because in WitE you can relocate factories. In the long run that would lead to a map that 'lie' to the player - displaying factories in areas where there are none and vice versa.
WitE's 'Show Factory Location' toggle is more polite that way - it never lies to you...

Status: offline 		Could there be a version for the visually impaired (it seems I am in that group) where the fonts used to render unit strength are bold and the counters are darker in that area to provide better outline? Because I really tire when I try to read the thin white digits on Soviet counters... I know the color of font is hardcoded, so you can't change that.

Given my uselessness with computers, that is a very sensible question. Yes but the new forts appeared today. Must be because I needed to turn the game or computer off, though the map and whether worked fine without that. Once I realised I had to turn weather effect on, anyway...........................

Excellent point, I had not considered this. What about the resources, though, oil etc. Could that be done as they can't be relocated? Sorry for being greedy, but this mod has really freshened the game up for me.

Many thanks,

No worry - glad it worked out in the end. And speaking of uselessness with computers, it isn't without reason I call my own computer 'the enigma machine'...

That could be done I suppose. When all bits and pieces are done and this mod is complete, I will ponder that idea, IronDuke. You may have to remind me though!
