Have you not heard the news yet? The Cultural minister of China has announced that representing rivers is a vigorous offense against Chinese sovergreinity, and in order to maintain good relations with China, the Swedish goverment has frozen Paradox Entertainment`s beer assets as an act of blackmail, to ensure that the game meets the Chinese historical accuracy. Under such a powerful blockade, what can do but subjugate?
I really like the general graphic 'feel' already.
Now for my gayboy objections. I see Memel is still horribly oversized - though 'twas fine in VIC - that'll have to wait till HoI3. Also, the Romanian frontier looks a bit eroded.
But all those provinces! I'm glad the focus is on the East this time. It'll actually feel like a gamble when you send the panzers into the terrifying hostile immensity of Russia

Divisions with HQ !!!
*silence*
I'm too happy to find words to express myself! Hope we can get more information about it. Looks great! Keep up the good work!

Anyone having a guess on the airfield icon south-west of Kiev? I guess, you'll again be able to station aircraft in every province, so what could it be? A placeholder for something else? Note that Moscow has a similar icon in the sidebar...

CIA = RELIABLE SOURCE
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
*Gasps for air*
:rofl:
Tooooooooo Funny! :rofl:
Yeah, even the CIA Factbook has alot of errors and inconsistencies when it comes to city names, especially Arabic names.
Things I can see:
1- Provinces have a personalized photo! will only be the most important? The Red Square and St Basil's under the snow. Cool! (never better said)
2- Looks like there will be a province/states system, maybe similar to Vicky. Next to the Moskva pic there is a list of names of the surrounding provinces.
3- Looks like there will be HQ counters. Better than the HoI sistem of HQ.
4- That rifle icon, between the railway icon and the airfield icon... means revoltrisk? there will be partisans, then?
5- And now, the screen background... means that there will be individualized screen backgrounds for each nation? at least for the majors?
Looks veeeery nice...

Ok, according to the book, Latvias Vesture (which I think means Latvian History), which was published 1958, the correct names are: Daugavpils and Jekabpils.
*drools* oooh new screenshot! I love the city pictures for each province, come to think about it I doubt it would that difficult to find pictures of a place in each province. The only thing I'm worried about is that it still seems everybody has the same infantry sprite, hopefully though we can see new infantry sprites in upcoming screenshots
Something for the next screenie, whenever it comes (I know -- when it's ready! ): can we see something to give us hope that the naval portions of the game are receiving some attention? Pleeeease?
(BTW, about sprites -- here's one vote for retaining the option for counters. I hate sprites!)

Lovely, absolutely lovely!
Immedeate observation. Russian tanks look like KV-1. I'd really would have preferred T-34/76 at this stage. More standard.
Is there an explanation?

JCD said:Are the map graphics final, with monocolored provinces? I would prefer a bit of noice, like in Vicky or Crusader Kings, but I suppose it's a matter of taste.
Also, where are the rivers?
They may be arranged like in Vicky, where you don't actually see them on the map, they're just part of the terrain for a province/territory.
