Status: offline 		Terrain --

Have just finished the encoding of a pile of ASL maps to TOTH. There are a few terrain features that would help replicate
the ASL maps. I thought I would report on them.

-> Grain at different elevations. Right now grain overwrites hill, and ASL has maps with grain on hills. (perhaps overlay?)

-> Graveyard. Right now we substitute woods for graveyard. But, not a great substitution. (perhaps overlay?)

-> Marsh. Right now we substitute brush for marsh. Again, not a great substitution. (perhaps overlay?)

-> Valley. This is like a level -1 hill. Still allow woods, overlays, roads, buildings, etc.... Have to ignore valley right now.

I understand the TOTH model does not extend to hexside terrain (like walls) and lineated terrain (like streams), so I appreciate the extra programming work for those kinds of features. But, the 4 terrain features above may not be as nasty as doing walls.

Anyway, this is what I found in map creation.

With the hexside issues you mentioned I think that a Valley (level -1 hill) terrain could substitute for gullies and streambeds, would have to be dry ones though. It would not be ideal but would be very helpful to scenario designers, IMHO.

I think this might have been mentioned already, but adding the ability to name the leader counters. This would make the game more immersive I think.

Thanks

Could a person not create the mod(s) on different layers in a paint program. You would then just hide the layers that you do not want and then you could mix and match as you like. A person could have different unit mods, terrain modes ect. As long as the layers line up when you "flatten" the file there should be no issues.

It isn't the greatest, but "unplayable" is a bit strong. And frankly, I can forgive many, many sins for a work of this magnitude.

One suggestion, in Win10 the game totally dominates the screen and the only way to switch to another application is to open the Task Manager.

Blimey! You're right! I didn't pay attention to that... Yeah, it would be nice if we had the old-fashioned minimize/maximize window buttons up there...

Status: offline 		Hello Peter. I just picked up TotH today and am really enjoying it so far. I've only skimmed the manual and run through the first scenario but I think this may finally be the wargame I will stick with for a while. There have been a lot of good suggestions here but as a new wargamer who has had a lot of difficulty finding his feet in this genre I believe focusing on clarity and ease of use would encourage newer players to drop what is a relatively large amount of money for a video game (compared to your average steam game).

After my first game the things I think would have helped me the most are,

-clicking on a unit in the information window and have that unit become highlighted
-clicking on a fire event (unit X fires on unit Y) and having the units involved be highlighted (when I'm distracted by the baby and miss the action going on it is tedious trying to figure out who got fired on and where from)
-mouseover tooltips for status effects (out of command, ROF, broken etc) in the information window to save you going back and forth to the manual to see what that means while learning the game
-when a hex is moused over and the terrain type is displayed on the right hand side of the screen show what the terrain effects are

Thanks Peter for making such an excellent game!

Hidden Initial Placement for ord.
At least concealment for infantry.
Units entering from off board should not beable to Prep Fire in their first turn.

In scenario 2 the US sets up first, Germans get to set up AND fire before US can do anything.

I guess it would work like off board artillery. The radio contact would be pretty much the same as it is with OBA, only it would be deemed aircraft spotter.

Thanks

This list covers about everything that I'd like to see for this generation of the game with smoke grenades, hexside terrain, multi-level buildings and multi-hex firegroups being the biggest.

I'd also like to have the ability to completely disable the C&C/OOC feature for both player and AI.

One petty request is to do away with the little arrow that shows the turret and vehicle facing and make the counters rotate and have a small turret overlay for the actual turret facing.

I trust that the UI will be enhanced over time. It's not the prettiest or most intuitive around but it's functional.

Oh, thought of one more while playing earlier. If I select a unit to fire and find that I don't have LOS, I should be marked as having fired (and a roll for malf. for any SW as well). Obviously only works if you're not cheating by having the game always tell you who has LOS to what.

Played some more last night. I tweaked the ASL mod to suit my own needs. Can't stand the silly OOC/C&C thing and wish it could be totally disabled but I understand why it's there - to balance the AI (which really needs it frankly). I'm actually enjoying it however as a quick ASL(SK)-lite type of thing. Playing the real thing this weekend however. ;)

I just went to report a bug that if you kill all the units before all VP hexes are taken, then they are awarded to the defender. Mostly low value type of stuff, but it turned into an argument with the developer and the original poster. I suspect this thread will never be read. A lot of potential for this game, but likely headed towards another Matrix CF of a game.

To be fair, the post you're talking about actually turned into adding an option to the game to disable that particular feature. Basically the best result since people now know how it works and if they don't like it they won't have to use it.

If you are doing your job so well that you kill all the enemy along the way you shouldn't be punished for it. But thankfully Peter has made it an option now.

I was just struck that a reply as easy as "It's working as intended, but let me take a look at it." would have saved a lot of back and forth over a meaningless item. However, I am fearful that when meaningless stuff becomes a 5 post argument over why he was right and you are wrong doesn't suggest that there is much openness to different ideas and changes the community wants to see.

I could be dead wrong and hope that I am as I am enjoying the game, but clearly it needs some improvements in the UI area and many of the suggestions here are very good ideas to improve the game. Let's hope the developer chills a bit and is open to changes otherwise this game will just be another game with potential that never makes it to the great list and will be selling for $9.99 in about a year.

+1 As much as I like some armor in play I prefer just inf for TOTH for this very reason. Some way to change default view to top down vehicles (rotating counter/turret) would give this significant upgrade aesthetically and fun factor.

Things I would like to see:

Zoom
Smoke
Captured weapon use
2 support weapons for squad
1 support weapon for team or half squad or leader
Click on stack for top counter first time subsequent click cycles stack
Double click grabs all units in stack
More nations
Vehicles and turrets rotate
