EmTom -> RE: Wishlist Item- Better AT to ATG conversion (6/6/2011 8:59:23 AM)

I'm afraid that you're talking about a completely new game here...



Ande -> RE: Wishlist Item- Better AT to ATG conversion (6/6/2011 12:06:27 PM)

Yes I know, but I can dream, can't I?



phatkarp -> RE: Wishlist Item- Better AT to ATG conversion (6/6/2011 4:19:30 PM)

Here's my wish - I wish I could access the "detailed" combat screen for combat that occurs during the enemy turn. I love the detail view, as it has helped me understand what units do well in what situations. I would love to be able to see this information on defense as well as offense.



Jafele -> RE: Wishlist Item- Better AT to ATG conversion (6/7/2011 8:57:37 PM)

More ideas:

1-No more flying oil or raw: Resources should be connected (roads or ports) with any city.

2-Upgraded paratroopers and engineers: They won´t be killing machines, there´s a proportion. Nobody will buy engineers to fight since they are expensive and not good at combat.

3-No more endless bombardments: The bombing raid button could be used to attack infraestructures with any unit (sea/air/land) capable.

4-Armoured cars or tanks shouldn´t carry horses, on the other hand trucks should be able to carry horses. A horse cannot weight 1 (the same than a human), it should be 3.

5-Building roads FROM a mountain to a non-mountain location shouldn´t be possible since it can take years to build. It must be a bug.



Casus_Belli -> RE: Wishlist Item- Better AT to ATG conversion (6/8/2011 1:55:53 PM)

I really think oil especially and raw as well should have to be connected to the supply chain to be used. I cut off my opponent's oil field and it just keeps producing for him. Also fleets at sea should have finite oil, just like supplies, not be able to draw from the central pool. In fact oil should be treated just like supplies. Raw should have to be connected to a factory or city where it's being used. This would add greatly to the (already awesome) game, I reckon.

It would add lots of micromanagement though... There is a balance that has to be kept between realism and fun factor. You add to much realism (micromanagement) to this kind of game and it loses fun factor fast...



EmTom -> RE: ATG: Wishlist thread (6/8/2011 2:24:47 PM)

Would it be possible under present game mechanics to override default SFT based unit icons with player specified ones? If so, I would love it.

It would make it possible to add not only NATO symbols for type of unit but also for it's size. Since it is not possible for game engine to decide the size of the unit represented by given counter player would have a chance to mark counters anyway he likes.



phatkarp -> RE: ATG: Wishlist thread (6/10/2011 5:55:25 PM)

I would like an option to export the map to .pdf.  This would be nice for PBEM games, as you could take time between turns to get a detailed look at the map. 



ernieschwitz -> RE: ATG: Wishlist thread (6/10/2011 7:09:22 PM)

+1 for export of map to some sort of file that can be looked at. Sounds like a good idea :)



Jafele -> RE: ATG: Wishlist thread (6/18/2011 1:51:18 PM)

It would be nice to read player´s messages inside the game (perhaps in the strategic information area). In this way you can read it several times. It would be specially useful in very large and detailed messages.



Iron Knight -> RE: ATG: Wishlist thread (6/18/2011 4:50:23 PM)

It should be in the reports tab in the decision room (tech area).

While I'm here can I continue to plead for a 'or' option for tech requirements and multiple upgrade options for SFTs and multiple blocks for Items? [&o]

you can turn screenshots on. that should make an auto screenshot at start and end of turn.
there is also a rulevar in which you can set these screenshots to 1:1 resolution (normally its at 1:4)

phatkarp -> RE: ATG: Wishlist thread (6/19/2011 5:06:45 PM)

Awesome!  Where do those screenshots go?



Vic -> RE: ATG: Wishlist thread (6/19/2011 6:07:56 PM)

to either the logs/ or the screenshots/ directory.
you can find those in the same directory as the AdvancedTacticsGold.exe is located.

What is the rulevar number for this?

Its rulevar 850. I just saw it even allows you to make screenshots at whopping 128x96 hex size resolution.



Jafele -> RE: ATG: Wishlist thread (6/20/2011 5:08:15 PM)

I wish major and minor rivers could be shown clearly on the map [8|]. Now it´s not easy to distinguish, what about different colors?



Jafele -> RE: ATG: Wishlist thread (6/23/2011 9:15:32 AM)

Every time I offer an alliance all of the players know I´m doing it. It should be a secret. I find it absurd. I wish alliances were public only when are accepted.



british exil -> RE: ATG: Wishlist thread (6/23/2011 11:11:56 AM)

What I would like to have is some kind of intel service. Spy network or something similar. Would be nice to get, even if vage, information on how far an enemy is researching. Playing on a very large map I have 1 nation on my border, which I can see but maybe another 5 behind them hidden from all my units. Do they still exist? Are they powerful? What kind of weapons do they have? Do I need a powerful airforce or will Inf suffice? Am I strong enough to attack or should I prepare for an attack?

I hate it to build up a Army group just to find that I need AT guns rather than FLaK, as an example. I don't like to play with FOW turned off, then there is no fun at all. But playing on large map makes the game last a little longer but it hurts that the AI can research so fast and build huge amounts of division as well. So intel might be able to balance the game a little.

All armies have some kind of intel service be they good or bad, someone is always there. Even if we get a kind of rumour posted at the beginning of every turn.
"Light tanks II of Nation xxx have been supposedly seen on training manuvers." "Nation xxx has built a xxx factory" "Medium tanks have been sighted moving to the frontline"
Then I can react a bit by investing in research or think let them come. Can I research fast enough to compete? Will my defenses hold long enough before I can build enough weapons to counter their army?

Maybe even having a "Spy network" of "Intel" card that can be played for a certain amount of PP.

Not sure how much work is needed for such a thing, but this is a wishlist thread. And I know not all wishes can be fulfilled.

Mat



phatkarp -> RE: ATG: Wishlist thread (6/23/2011 3:24:11 PM)

I would like "cheap research" to be a push-button option in the random game set-up menu.  I know you can achieve this through the use of a rulevar or something, but for those of us who are ignorant and proud of it, it would be nice to have a button. 



Jafele -> RE: ATG: Wishlist thread (6/26/2011 11:16:20 AM)

It would be great the existence of a new resource: Minerals. It includes stone and coal. At the moment building roads, factories or fortresses requires only raw (supposedly metals). I know it would be a great change for ATG, cos buildings need raw and minerals for their construction. Also trains would need minerals(coal)to start moving. It might be possible for a future version of Advanced Tactics or a mod.

You can say it can be modded, however not everybody have the ability or the time to do it. Since resources are probably the most important factor in war (without it you cannot build buildings or roads, move or buy any kind of vehicles), we should consider it seriously.



Jafele -> RE: ATG: Wishlist thread (6/26/2011 12:16:21 PM)

I think a new type of terrain is neccesary: broad or major rivers.

In the Landscape stats major and minor rivers are called "River" and "Stream". I suppose that there are no "major rivers" since they should be impassable for almost all units.



Jafele -> RE: ATG: Wishlist thread (6/26/2011 1:39:27 PM)

I also miss fords: natural bridges in streams or rivers. It can be done creating a scenario (a plain between two rivers), but in the random maps never appear. Fords can have an important strategic value in a conflict.



Ande -> RE: ATG: Wishlist thread (6/27/2011 9:49:51 PM)

I'd like the fraction of the range at which fighters intercept to be a sft variable and not a global one. That way you can have interceptors with shorter range but ability to intercept all of it and escort fighters with longer range but no interception ability.



ernieschwitz -> RE: ATG: Wishlist thread (6/27/2011 10:08:07 PM)

I agree with Ande.. :)



Grymme -> RE: ATG: Wishlist thread (6/30/2011 8:20:20 AM)

I would like

- a check that counts the number of hexes in a slot and returns that number.
- a check that checks if a certain people is present in a unit.
- Naval unit SFT hitpoints (like in Empire)
- quickbuttons in the editor for placing predef units on the map from the main window (1, for predef1 2 for predef2, maybe *16* for predef 16 etc).

+1 for the above [:)]

I'd also like to be able to change the limit of EP stored by SFT to give some units a small construction ability that would quickly regenerate (for a non-WWII mod)
Multiple upgrade options for SFTs
Multiple blocks for Items
A research option that requires only one of the two prerequisits to be met.



dominickpa -> RE: ATG: Wishlist thread (7/1/2011 4:39:54 AM)

In the statistics>supply screen, I would like to have more information on the unit clicked on, such as its SF name, without having to leave the screen to identify it.



Grymme -> RE: ATG: Wishlist thread (7/1/2011 8:35:09 AM)

"I'd also like to be able to change the limit of EP stored by SFT to give some units a small construction ability that would quickly regenerate (for a non-WWII mod)"


This is already possible by changing rulewar42 (max rounds EPs can be stored & EP (EPs gained per round) in the SFT section.



Jafele -> RE: ATG: Wishlist thread (7/14/2011 11:00:13 PM)

1-I wish produced units were placed in the same city or factory that they are made. If you have a HQ in that hex, then you could transport it in the same way and cost than transfer units. It´s really odd to have a factory in a far island and for the next turn the unit produced appear in a distant and unconnected continent because you´ve assigned a distant HQ to the factory.

2-I fear that the AI have a little possibility to declare war to a Human Player. I´ve noticed it playing solitaire games. It should be changed, you know the human player doesn´t need any advantage [:D]
