Hm, it seems they really are going with the Viccy system of rivers only being visible on the terrain map...

This has certainy gone a considerable distance in increasing my appetite for this game.
Can't wait.
And by the way, I did like most of the Victoria style stuff, so I wouldn't be upset if they incorporated some of it. The point is that even though Vicky is notorious for its micromanagement, most of is is actually fairly well organized micromanagement, in that it's relatively easy to find certian screens and see more than one thing at a time. Even if the management of this game is nowhere near that of Vicy, even light management benefits from good organization.

I'm betting you are right about the energy. I'm guessing that it includes hydroelectric power.
I agree the first new icon is something like power or electricity.
The second does look like a bill and a pile of coins.
The third one I doubt is transport capacity. It doesn't really look like a "TC" to me. I don't think they are letters at all.
My guess would be it has to do with research.

Its what you use to cast spells..
Electricity/power ofcorse
LOOKS REALLY GOOD I hope that they'll do something about ports too. And YEP this tank is a little bit to BIG

Johan said in the second screenie thread that "TC" stood for Transport Capacity. He might have been kidding, though...
I hope that counters will remain in HoI2... I prefer playing with counters to sprites.

Bleeee I love the new screenie lol, I especialy like the 2 new recources or thats if the last one is a recourse.
Electrisity and the other new one could be Componant parts or Diplomat counter, god knows lol, be nice if Johan could say what that other one is lol.
But in all HoI2 seems to be shaping up fairly well

I'm more and more excited Didn't learn much new from this screenshot other than coal is changed and that extra resource...
Well, the prioritise button certainly looks promising And if it's true that units will have to be upgraded by actually building new supplies that will be cool.
Keep up the good job!

If you notice the envelope in HOI has been replaced with the unknown thingy. So maybe it's just a new icon for diplomacy points.
I hope it's hard to supply troops far inland in China. This would make things more realistic and explain why in the screenshot it's 1944 and the Japanese still only have the costal provences like they did in RL.
Then again maybe those 2 tiny chinese army in the pics have some supernatural kung-fu skills.

It's been said DPs don't figure in HoI2's diplomacy model (three cheers).
electricity?
well, overall, the new screens are looking much more professional and a lot less cheesy-cheap. Hey, it looks like 2004 instead of 1991! yay!
No, honestly, things are looking good - view-wise. Hope the game play is there, too! (waiting patiently)

I wonder how you get electricity in-game. It's probably needed for IC to run, so it wouldn't make sense to make it like supplies. And its kinda odd to have electricity as a province resource.
Looks swell, but I hope rivers are on the map as they were in HOI.
I always play in the diplomatic mode (so I know who is where on the map) and having to switch to terrain mode everytime I need to find a river would be incredibly annoying :wacko:
Maybe we can get an official word on rivers from the devs?
