I demand the unconditional surrender of the map.

LOL I though the tank chasing the Poles was a guy in a wheel chair also , I would suggest the French running instead .

EDIT : What the hell is the Sweed doing :blink: ???

He is just angry...i think, according the log.

It actually happens that I have, but this is irrelevant. It wasn't very difficult to understand that what I meant is that YOU don't have that much work to do, because fans already did it.

The fans did it already? A map for HOI4? I didn't know this. Got any screenshots?

Converting a map from one game to another is not as easy as you may believe. Even then, I am not sure what becomes of the provinces and all that.

 

[sgt.stickybomb]

I just got pics from coming HoI4, and as you asked so nice from them. I will but it in to this thread first.


I think it looks great for a Pre-alpha.

Still better and more accurate than HOI3 Vanilla map

 

[Art1985]

It would be good if big cities consisted of several provinces. Battles for them would have been more interesting.

 

[DPKdebator]

I am sure that they have reiliable sources for map data

Beautifully accurate.

At least that map got the mountainous terrain in Austria.

I have a new plan comrades , let's surround Stockholm and take the map ourselves , although I think Podcat will commit suicide than surrendering , it's ok we could capture one of the other high ranking officers and force him to give us the precious one .
So you guys start the offensive first and eventually I will come to , and if someone could make a brilliant battle plan I will personally make sure that he want be forgotten for a 1.000 years .

On a more serious note, I think a finalized map will be one of the later things in the process. The reason I say this is that tweaking the map is one way of adjusting balance. Until a more or less final version of air/naval/land warfare is in place and being tested, it will be too soon to have a finalized map.

How dare you imply that the map in Paradox's map simulator should be subordinate to actual gameplay!

Yeah you got a good point there , I'm starting to feel realy guilty now for putting all this pressure to the Devs . Alright guys no battle of Stockholm put the torches down now .

 

[BBBD316]

We don't need user developed maps, our master has his own map. It is very nice!

It really is ;D remember the rage threads from showing a blurry screenshot from a youtube screen after like 3 months of development? People dont understand the concept of in development.

That said we've made great progress on map accuracy now.

If you want a real sight of rage, head over to the EU4 forums these days (and compared to other forums i've frequented, it's pretty tame actually).
There wasn't much "rage" about the blurry youtube screenshots, some people just commented on the blocky borders about which we now know they were temporary, and some comment about the neon political map

 

[Tomahok96]

and some comment about the neon political map

What is wrong with that ; I liked how the neon political map looked it looks fancier .

It was supposed to be a request for the map but than we had US vs. Europe Poles running Sweeds getting angry and Brits drinking tea .

EDIT : England vs. Uruguay 1-2 that must have hurt a little .

Here is some real pre-alpha pictures, if haven't seen them before.

It actually happens that I have, but this is irrelevant. It wasn't very difficult to understand that what I meant is that YOU don't have that much work to do, because fans already did it. All you have to do is to take their work and tweak it; instead of that you started from scratch and managed the feat of making something even worse than the original HoI3 map. But of course it is more relevant to post cat pictures.

It's not finished, bro.

Has it occurred to you that the map you "saw" in that blurry photograph-of-a-monitor was never meant for release, but was instead hastily thrown together with every intention of scrapping and starting from scratch? I mean, why wait for the guys working on the map to finish before you can start testing other game mechanics which just might require some kind of map? So you throw one together, one for the devs to faff about with while the map guys are still doing their thing.

Also, quit being a dick.

I wish the map will have a colorblind option, and the ability to use more than one filter (eg meto + supply, or partisan + nation).

Hope that Sarajevo is now classified as an "urban" province like Belgrade or Zagreb and not classified as a forest or "plains"...

that looks pretty awesome, im not even wearing my glasses!

It's not that large of a city though.. Is it? And then we have to consider it must've been less populated back then too.
