How can I change the regiment symbols?

[unmerged(18164)]

I installed CORE for DD, and I am having a blast and the events are great. However, I do not enjoy seeing the counters used for the infantry units.

The air force and naval units have the jet an ship symbols which are easy to follow.

How can I swap those out to a picture or other infantry type icon?

Right click on the pause button (it's the one that tells what day and time it is). There will be a list of game speeds, but under them there you can choose wether you want to play with sprites (small soldiers walking about) or counters (tactical symbols). Just click on the one or the either to change.

Voila...

Do you mean as posted above the counters rather than sprites or do you mean that when you used to click on infantry you used to get a picture to the left of the stats whereas with CORE you only get the Counter symbol?

Tanesis,

Tanesis,

Yes, that is it. I am playing with sprites (sorry, should have specified) and the air and naval units show as "normal," while infantry shows up similar to the counters.

I see different picture packs available, and I assume those include what I am looking for, but does CORE have infantry type sprites? Did I get a corrupted download perhaps?

One other question I have for the C.O.R.E. team. Apologies in advance if this has been asked before but can the U.S. build tanks? Seeing as its 1943 and I'm researching tank techs, but i see none to build in the infantry screen...

Regardless, I'm having a very enjoyable time playing, and as always the events are great

Provided you researched the right techs, the US definately can build tanks. Why shouldn't they?

Just recheck your armor tech tree - you'd probably missed out on the odd tech to research.

 

[unmerged(18164)]

You're saying the US starts the game with no ability to build any tank unless its research first?


Heres my tech tree, well along in tank techs...

...and my infantry screen where no armor available to build.

Also, is that the reserves symbol/"unit card" I should be seeing when playing with sprites on?

Looks like you have a doctrine missing, because the techs you need to actually build tank divisions are the "'36 Tank" (under Light Tanks), and then "'39 Tank" (under Medium tanks). These are opened by developing a Tank Division Doctrine, can't remember the exact name - could be Heavy or Balanced Armor doctrines (towards the bottom of the Land Doctrine screen).

Also, is that the reserves symbol/"unit card" I should be seeing when playing with sprites on?

Yes, that is correct AFAIK.

 

[unmerged(18164)]

Ah, the way to build tanks is indeed in the land doctrines...never thought to look there. I assumed it was "unlocked" in the armor/artillery section, and I kept going over everything again and again. I thought my game was bugged or something. Oh well, I feel like a fool now

Oh well, live and learn. Thanks again everyone for helping

Hi,

As a general rule if the tech is actually Deactivated what you need to Activate it is probablly not on the current screen. We're considering a method to make this a bit more clear where the tech effects would list the prereq you can't see. We haven't actually tried it out yet, but the idea seems like a winner.
