I like the big letters across the map that says JAPAN - really makes me want to bomb it to bits.

I thought it looked like the old Rommel picture... I'll go have another look.
Bandit109 said:But anyways, the battle summary screen looks great
Agreed.
Very sweet. I like looking at the coastline. That's what makes provinces so much better than hexes or generic maps. Coastline!
Very Nice. It great to be able to keep track of all the battles at once. I like that the seas are being clearly identified as well.
Am I the first one to notice this?
By 1944, the grand fleets of USA roaming around... AND ONLY ONE PROVINCE VISIBLE!!!
Surely radars, radio listening, aeroplanes-on-ships and other forms of naval intelligence were worthy of at least the visibility for two sea zones by 1944?!?
I know, I know, a beta is a beta but is not this quite an important factor?
Color suggestion!
I hope someone will notice this late suggestion
The red and green colored bar probably shows to the extent you and your enemy control a province (or maybe how the battle is going).
I think Red-Blue instead of Red-Green would be better. In military maps, Red color means enemy forces, while blue color means friendly forces.

But if you look closer, the red and the green are always on the same side, and yet the us flag and the japanese flag are on the right or on the left (presumably the attacker is left, and the red bar is the progress of the attack).
Though maybe assigning fixed colours (blue friend, red foe, as you suggest) would be easier to understand.

Not in all countries military...
When i first looked at the pic i must have been confused because i was waiting for a tooltip to come up and tell me what everthing was.

Yes, but I think thats realistic. Even with radar, you don't "see" sea areas of that grand scale like in HOI1.
I think the better techs help in detecting enemy ships and planes in the same sea province much better
BTW....
The ships, tanks and infantry sprites look very cool, but the map (landscape) looks very sad and odd.
Hopefully they add some rocks, palms, trees or things like that as it is in HOI1 to bring more flair to the gamefeeling.

Would still be odd to play the Red Army and have the "reds" as enemy...Johan Jung said:

Such small graphical details are hardly stuff they should bother with at this early point.
A far more important questions is: Were they hey are all the rivers??!Johan Jung said:
Which might make it very appropriate for a post-WWII/Cold War game, but neither NATO nor any of their standards are around yet, so I think red/green works well.

Johan already answered this question

Sooo, does this mean P'dox are claiming the existance of rivers to be nothing but a worldwide conspiracy, or have they simply not added them yet? WWII would be sort-of lacking without crossing the Rhine, or reaching the Volga...
Oh, I don't want to confuse you. Steel and Vulture or Max have stated at least twice that there'll be rivers in the game.
