POTZBLITZ mod Update V3.4 (DEC 11th)

Post by Vokt »

Just seeing that choose-an-event screenshot is enough for me to understand the really great work you are doing.

I see that you have included Reserve Corps as a new type of unit replacing garrison units. This is quite good since, unlike garrisons, reserve units were very important in WW1. German army fielded many Reserve units. Did you change the box of the counter so it doesn't shows anymore a blank rectangle? Many wargames use an 'R' with an infantry symbol to denote a reserve unit. I can help you on this if needed.

Basically, Reserve Corps symbol would be an 'R' enclosed in an infantry symbol. Something like this:

Renaming showed in the image below is, of course, an example since I don't know how you have coded this new type of unit (Reserve Corps).

Guessing that you will have to rename small garrisons into garrisons either.

Since I have already checked that by only replacing files in the graphics folder, images don't change, I'm guessing that a bit of coding is needed to include the new images. So basically, I can provide you with the graphics and you would do the coding. :)

POTZBLITZ mod Update V3.4 (DEC 11th)

That's good. I will be editing current images of the different zoom levels and sending them to you as a post attachment, if that's OK with you. I will have them already renamed to reserve corps when attaching them.

Small garrison symbol would dissappear and would be replaced by current normal garrison symbol.

I can have them finished for tomorrow.

Go ahead but don't rename them, the renaming will be done from within the code.

What about a "G" for (small) garrisons in the same way there's a "R" for Reserve Corps?

That's good idea. I will try a similar thing than with Reserve Corps.

I think we can give a go to this. So I will soon be attaching the entire edited images of both garrisons and reserve corps units at all zoom levels.

I believe that for now is only name change. It could be added some additional combat value though.

And if small garrisons are going to be now garrisons, it could be slightly raised their defensive capabilities.

Because of a name change?

Not because the name change but because those units were excessively weak, IMO. In fact, I have never guessed what the CTGW Slitherine-Lordz team wanted to accomplish by including these small garrisons units.

If from now on referred units are going to be the ones tasked with guarding cities, we may consider to raise a bit their defense. For example, we may consider raising their Base defense value by 1.
