CS MODs

[Jason Petho]

Hi all

Question -

What kinds of CS MODs would you like to see?

Keeping in mind no change in the game engine.

Take care and good luck

Hi Jason, more different unit icons/camo patterns. More different buildings. Hope that helps. SE.

 

[Jason Petho]

Thanks for the reply, Scorched Earth

Every little bit helps!!

Anything specifically?

More varitey in the special buildings looks.
Oh this idea might be hard to do or it might already exist but more damge from artillery on buildings and forests. Can you rubble any kind of building hex by plotting alot of arty on it? If so how many rounds??

 

[Scorched Earth]

Hi, how about vehicle types like Nashorn, (not ever seen one in the game), armoured vehicles with crew in hatches. How about changing the HQ foot figure to a group of figures with a radio set. Different explosion types, i.e for mortars, heavy arty etc.

The increased rubble is good one.

cheers for now

[Jason Petho]

Excellent ideas, guys!

Thanks!

And now, to go one step further..

Would anyone be interested in MODs that would change the game to play something other than WW2? Civil War? WW1? the list goes on.

Thoughts? Comments? Ideas?

Hope all is well
Take care and good luck

ACW sounds good to me.

Hi, some WW2 thoughts:

1. Red stars/slogans on Russian tanks.
2. Fuel tanks on back of russian vehicles.
3. Belin white crosses for IS'2'.
4. Baggage etc for armoured vehicles.
5. Camo netting/foliage (great for Normandy Panthers).
6. Tank riders etc for loaded armoured vehicles.

Hope that helps.

How about a MOD that involves Czechoslovakian forces. A what if situation, I always wondered how the Czechs would fare against the Germans. On paper at least the Czech army was as good if not better than the German army at that time. With the Sudetenland as a defensive barrier how long could the have held? I think that would make a fun Mod.

Excellent idea, Fozzy!

I'll look into it!!

I think that a American Civil War game would be really good:cheeky:

 

[Jason Petho]

Well then,

That's two for the Civil War!

That's a good idea, excellent! Shouldn't be too difficult to construct.

Any others?

ACW sounds good to me. Would a pre gunpowder mod work?

 

[Jason Petho]

Good question Fozzey

One could use simulate archers pretty easily, similar to a MG.

It would be the close combat that would be interesting to do. But I think it could be done!

If one alters the weapon specs and unit data to represent a larger sized hex, for example 5-20 metres, then close combat could be represented by "firing" a chosen unit at another chosen unit.

Those units using javelins, spears that a thrown, etc could have a longer than 1 hex range.

I think it could be worked to represent pre gunpowder battles.

Another idea I just had. Something that lets you switch which view you are in during the enemys replay or enemies turn. Or can you already do that? It would be nice for big maps to switch out to 2D so you know where all the enemies movement is taking place and then back into 3D for combat

 

[Jason Petho]

This you can already do.

Just press the 1,2,3,4,5 numbers on the keyboard (the row above the letters) for utilizing the different views!

Hope that helps

Oops ... my questions didn't come out the way I wanted to. I do know about the 1-5 numbers on the keyboard switch views. But I can't switch the view from 3D to 2D in a PBEM game when Im watching the enemies replay. I've tried pressing the 1-5 numbers and it won't work. Does that clear up my question?

 

[Jason Petho]

I believe you can, but it is finicky as to when you can actually do it.
I believe you can only change the view during a replay when there is a lull in the action, ie - movement.

If you're quick you can change it between the firing of artillery.

I don't believe you can change it with a dialog window up, but I've been wrong before and will be again!

Hope you're well

Jason, that is exactly my experience, you can change it during the replay but your timing has to be spot on.

Hi Jason
Please excuse my ignorance by what do you mean "firing" a chosen unit at another chosen unit? Would this be the equivalent to a charge? What about siege weapons such as catapults and trebuchets, would it be possible to represent such weapons?
