Icon Avitars

[unmerged(138602)]

New here to the forum so do not butcher me too bad.. LOl

I have played all the HOI games from Paradox.. excellent... well done, and the re-play value is even greater. I have looked at the screenshots and they look good for being ALPHA's.

My question here, and as you know they have created this game for all of us Vetrans.. to the question then.

Will the Icons be of National identity. meaning if I build a medium tank, heavy, light, will it be represented in game in detail? Infantry same thing, airplanes, ships etc.??

Also for Germany, USA, Britian, will ELITE troops be represented in detail, ie.. Rangers, Marines, Paratroopers, Waffen SS, Elite Heer units, Royal Marines, British SAS, etc. LORD I love detail.. the units in the other games were hard to look at.. and were very ugly.. game excellent.. units ugly and could barely see them. Some countries had the exact icons as other nations, wich I thought they could do better.

Thanks for any input, and thank you Paradox for creating HOI III I know it will do well even if I am nit picky on details.

Don't know. All I can say is that if they aren't in on release someone will fairly quickly mod them in.

No, we created Hearts of Iron 3 for everyone to enjoy not just for you Veterans.
No, we will not be representing elite units in detail. In fact some of the detail that comes along with some of the elite units is banned on this forum. So I strongly recommend you don't discuss this in too much detail.

Some posts on twitter regarding sprites:

We're currently adding unique mechanized sprites to the game.

Of course, it is very important to have unique cavalry sprites for most nations.

Now the germans have a Stuka for the CAS sprite. HoI1 shipped with about 60 sprites, HoI2 28 and so far Hoi3 has 60, with lots more planned.

Seems all eight unique tactical bomber sprites are about done, and we'll get started on the naval bomber sprites next.

The 'Petlyakov Pe-2' looks to be a nice plane for the Soviet tactical bomber sprite.

But hopefully the tactical symbols in counters, productions screen, battle screen and so on are at least modable to nation specific ones

A recent post on twitter:

We've now added a few motorized and mechanized sprites to the game.

So there will be plenty of national identity

Perhaps not if you are playing as Cuba, then you're stuck with the sprites of other countries

We need lots of icons, not sprites.

Yeah, I think the new Icons in the production screen look sweet

Hope they give us "more, more, more" ^^

You mean the watercolour-esque ones for tabs, right?

Not the icons for battleship, battlecruiser, &c. o

Actually I were thinking of the ones for AA/Rockets exc. But the tab ones are nice too. Ships Im more happy they easy to tell appart since they all are likely to have flavour class names that I might not be aware of.
