So is there combined terrain?
I never want my hometown described as simply MOUNTAIN where it is indeed very hilly and covered by dense jungle and river nets...

That doesn't make sense to have West and East Berlin's. Both terms were only coined when the city was divided in half after WWII. So as some people say do you want to have a Nazi Germany whose capital is in East Berlin? What is that?
The best solution, in my judgement, is to have a Berlin and a West Berlin. Kind of like the states of Virginia and West Virginia. But I think it is the best to include the possiblity to change province name in game, both manually and via events.

I think so. Both EU3 and Rome had mixed terrain, so it's a good bet that HoI3 will too. I'm curious how that will affect movement speeds though. Just a weighted average of whatever terrains are there?SimoneZ said:
I'm also interested in seeing how widespread the urban terrain is. While some provinces like the major cities and capitals will probably be 100% urban, I imagine a lot more provinces will have lesser percentages.
SimoneZ said:
You can see on the screenshots that some provinces have a more dense forest or the forest only covers half of the province so I'm guessing that's in.
How does this work in Rome and EU3? A weighted number to determine defensiveness etc?

The Hudson River is no easily crossed barrier, and neither is the East. I definitely hope that New York is split into Manhattan, Brooklyn/Queens, Long Island and Staten Island.
Rompa said:With 10.000 provinces, it's not impossible.
If they simply split the HoI2 provinces (which has about 2500 provinces) into 4 then the odds aren't good the city of New York will be split (or any other city).
Another thing I noticed when looking at the map of New York state is the difference in sizes of provinces between the US and Europe.
Belgium (30000 square km) has 8 provinces, while NY state (140000 square km) has 6 provinces for a 4.5 times bigger area.
(if you extrapolate that, you would need 36! provinces for NY state, in HoI2!
)(that would be 150 provinces in HoI3, crazy
)
East and West Berlin should be partitioned, if we have a 1945/doomsday scenario. Also, the map for berlin is wrong
But then again that can easily be modded afterwards. *makes note to himself*

I'm colour blind and I can see the borders.
Although I'm only Blue/Green colour blind. As long as they're not next to each other, it should be fine
But change Austria/Yugoslavia's colour, and don't make Blue/Green countries border each other and I'll be fine
Its been over a week, another sneak peak soon?
The whole of the Americas (and other continent too actually) makes no sense if you want to keep the same scale as Europe, both for provinces and rivers.zeekater said:Another thing I noticed when looking at the map of New York state is the difference in sizes of provinces between the US and Europe.

But since the main action is in Europe I guess it's ok that they get the bulk of provinces there.

I don't mind either, but it's staggering how big the difference really is
The city of Eisenhüttenstadt was founded in 1950's by the communists. Not a good name for WW2 game, better use Fürstenberg (which was merged into the new city).
Single guy units? Aw. It looks so much better if you have multiple figures in the unit. Let's start a petition for it.

I prefer single-guy units to multiple guys a la HOI1. I prefer counters even more.

I never made the jump to counters, despite them being better at conveying information. I guess I still have too much of that kid who played with army men in the sandbox in me.
I was converted to counters by Crusade in Europe.

May be, that was already said, but the last grey button on the right shows mans and vehicles.
May be the training screen
That would be great

One of the problems in HoI2 is that the combat system is written for European-size provinces, which pretty much ruins most aspects of the Asian theatre where the provinces are 10 times as huge. The more even the province sizes are, the more entertaining the war outside Europe will be.Filou said:
I wholeheartedly agree that leaving some programming- and CPU capacity to the AI is far more important than concentrating on making rounded province borders, but speaking of prettiness, I adore the font used on the alpha map.
