I agree with Hister - this one is another proof of your non-common abilities, best.

Keep up the good work!


...and while I'm at it (although completely unrelated, but I wanted to ask you that since some time):

well, to each his own?
Was the reference to Prussia's motto intentional...? :)

ah, no. could even be misunderstood if i re-translate it. it was simply what i thought, so no historical intention or connotation (no prussia and definately no buchenwald).

Well deserved.

Hm...? To each his own = Unicuique suum. Over. I don't get the later part... :unsure:

Edit: had to Google it to know about that. I didn't know it was on the gate of - . No intention to refer to that, of course, as I didn't even know; the reference was to Prussia, over (as I've recently read that biography of Friedrich der Große, as I told you).
 
Excellent work! I'll use this if I'm starting a USA game (but you'd need to add a link with the actual .bmps).

i always add the skins to my colour thing - they are at the bottom (called zz - skins)
in all those folders at the bottom you can find things which mic´ght interest you even if you dont like the painted pics (the attackplatta, for example - or Bg_auto_production, Dip_declare_war, Dip_influence_nation, Dip_military_controll, dip_offer_alliance, dip_offer_non_agression_pact, or leader_bonus)

example:
dip influence nation


dip declare war



dip offer alliance


(there are of course some japanese gfx as well)

i'll include the US skin in the next version

EDIT: i never play as USA, though :rofl: - just made it as i was in the mood
EDIT2: well they look a bit better ingame - at least with standard resolution

Oh, sorry - I forgot about that :eek:o

Ah, yes, the Attackplatta... I ought to give it a go, when I have some spare time (great idea with it way back then, by the way). I also should make some air and land icons based on your latest findings... damn, I want to be a university student again ;) .

Very nice Fall Weiß picture over there, also - did you recolour it yourself (silly question probably, I know...)? It looks amazing! I've only seen it in b/w thus far.

Well, neither do I :) but one can never know... so, just in case...

Yeah they'll look better ingame - but they already do, even in .png! It's just that it's better to have the original .bmps - but I won't bother you telling you things you know as good as me or even better :)

nope i knew that there should be one as i saw it in a mod and found it.

just in case you find a pic of an attacking french soldier let me know please!

...I've also edited my post to add a "silly question" guess but now that you tell me I'm surprised - I really thought it was your work. Well, good find, then!


...was the best time of my life dude!
...quite so!!! ;)

just in case you find a pic of an attacking french soldier let me know please!
I'll keep my eyes open and let you know if I find something good, don't worry.

oh, just in case you mean i took it from eg a DMP mod by Puma - no. i dont do such things (just in case - i knew it from his mod and took the idea - but not the pic)

Well, no - I was just wondering if you did just find that picture in b/w and recoloured it to make it look as it is now (which, at this point, I'm no longer sure I've understood).

Edit:

A couple of French samples, maybe you can use one of those.

no, i just installed a mod for AoD by Puma/DMP last year and he actually had the idea of tweaking the Attackplatta and this image for DoW, so i knew it should be somewhere and found it - painting such a thing takes a lot of time as its more complicated than a leaderpic - i did this only once with the Kriegsmarinewerft Wilhelmshaven (this name is btw right in the new map, first thing i checked - Kiel harbour is right as well):



with this original (last one):

thanks a bunch, i'll look at it! (wow very german title :D)

EDIT: i'll propably give FR01.bmp a go, what makes it complicated is the format of "Attackplatta"

Ok, I got it now ;) .

Seeing the original and then the new one compared gives even more value to your work!

Edit: if you're interested I can try to get rid of the little stains in the sky (esp. the one on the right part of the pic).

(this name is btw right in the new map, first thing i checked - Kiel harbour is right as well)
Yep, that map is cool and has some very nice touches like that (btw, I've seen you've recently asked again in an AoD thread for Kiel to be moved in the Baltic - I strongly support this request).

Check the French pictures, also :) .

first things are already done:) - NB the colours are usually too strong, i remove a lot of them if the pic is done - somewhere next week.

well, its a TT pic (or became one), if you would comment on the final result that would make more sense (as this is only one step - but i usually like it if the painting is a bit messed up - looks original)
actually critizism from you would make sense as you know how these things are done

Ha! :)

...also, I know I shouldn't be editing posts after just a minute or two (it's hard then to notice I've added something), but: what about my proposal to tweak the Wilhelmshaven picture? If you want me to try, no problem.
 
see edited post, lol
:D

Take your time... no worries.

Yes, I agree. It's probably way better to leave a bit of "imperfection". Forget about my proposal.

Too much honour, thanks :)
 
What kind of victory screen do we get if ones win with the game outside the established coalition?

Here is a nice site: http://www.ww2incolor.com/updates (world war 2 pictures in color)
