Forgotten Units Mod and stuff...

[terminator]

Remember that creating new classes can cause AI units in vanilla scenarios to ignore these classes if they aren't defined by AI-team Seek & Destroy settings.

I only made the modification (new air recon class) for the 3 German Recon Planes. So, if you play as german, nothing will change (?)

Declaring air-recon units as tactical bombers works really fine so far in my game, like it was done in Panzer Corps. It actually works even better this way if AI fighter planes with S&D behavior are only defnied to attack aircraft-classes and not recon-class units.

Very Good I will make a test (Panzer Corps is a reference).
I am not a specialist in aviation. When I see the big Dornier Do 18, I do not know if it is a recon or a tactical bomber plane. The RP = 1 & the low price tell me it is a recon plane. Maybe by adding (R=Recon) to the name ( Dornier Do 18 (R) ) this would help ?

It seems that adding a new class make the game crash (?)

[Horst]

I've answered the recon-class AI issue in the AI-Team Test topic.
I also put some abilities like torpedo-data and individual radar-ranges in parentheses, so it can’t hurt doing that for recon planes as TB-class too.

Ah... Makes me wish for a Condor Legion campaign.

Are they the good flags

In Panzercorps, the flags are simpler :

When does your mod (v1.01b) crash? Started it, played a little (with German air recon and new Soviet units) and it looks okay.

- There's a small typo in your "Finnish Cavaly" units
- You haven't fixed the Hungarian Bofors AT version completely: Range has to be 0 (and I think the Greek version uses the same AT model or such)

I do not know well the Spanish Civil War.I found some scenario for Panzer General II and Open General.
Maybe that it would give ideas to other moders or to developers ?

I uninstalled then reinstalled the mod, its looks okay. I had to make a bad manipulation with the units.csv file.I am going to redo a test for a next version.
Meanwhile I have class all the reconnaissance planes as Tactical Bomber.
In PanzerCorps and in Open General, the reconnaissance planes are tactical bomber :

- There's a small typo in your "Finnish Cavaly" units

Corrected, thanks.
I wonder if there are too many varieties of cavalry.
Maybe that these would be enough : Cavalry '37, Cavalry '39, Cavalry '41, Cavalry '43 and Cavalry '45 ?

- You haven't fixed the Hungarian Bofors AT version completely: Range has to be 0 (and I think the Greek version uses the same AT model or such)

Range=0 corrected, thanks. I thought I did.
I will create a specific Greek Bofors AT.
What it passed until now : 75mm_bofors_m1929_Greece (AA) -- switch --> 75mm_Bofors_M1929_AT_Hungary <-- switch --> 75mm_Bofors_M1929_AA_Hungary (it works!)

[Horst]

Terminator, don't start like our game developers here by saving unit variants! Remember the engineers? In the end, all yearly variants were added.
These poor sods are already penalized enough with their too-late upgrade date in the years. Cavalry needs every single point in att/def it gets to compete with the rest of the inf-units throughout every year.

I hope the devs are following this thread... Most interesting.

Seriously. The Terminator's been busy lately...

Great work!

I like the main screen

[terminator]

It is not of me. The pig and the dog make more alive this picture.
It is not so easy to find a good main screen.
There are two great difficulties.
The first difficulty is to find the ideal size which is of 2048 x 1152. By resizing certain smaller images, it does not make good.
The most annoying second difficulty is that the menu of bottom can be readable (SINGLE PLAYER...EXIT).I did not manage to be able to modify this menu. The bottom of the image must be dark so that this menu is visible.
On the other hand we can easily modify the title (Order of Battle World War II) but I did not have time to do it.

I agree. I also tried several different pictures as a main screen, bottom menu was the real problem.

This is my current spash screen.
Very sexy and totally politically incorrect.

A solution would be to darken by a layer the zones where is the text of the menu :

This mod will not load for me, I only get a black screen.
I am using the 64.exe. Is this mod incompatible? I hope not.
Thanx for all replies and Greets from Virginia.
