The cursor

[msaaim89]

I'm surprised it hasn't been brought up, but how about a mushroom cloud?

I presume there needs to be a pointy part which a mushroom cloud doesn't have.

There was nothing wrong with HOI3 glove anyway although sometimes the game would glitch and select something a few mm away from where you clicked.

You don't want any cursor? :rofl:

Maybe he has a touch screen.

Dead serious. The cursor is the most important part of the game, more than the supply system.

I presume there needs to be a pointy part which a mushroom cloud doesn't have.

It would depend on shaping the cloud and putting correct perspective. 45 degrees and narrowing down the ground part - perhaps by capturing it in its earliest point - could help a lot. It'd fit the Cold War theme more though.

Well, some time ago I made a bunch of country-specific mouse pointers for AoD, two examples of which are shown below (JAP Katana - SOV Guards' badge):

nice I'm a very big fan of the katana

I'm tempted to say a little, yellow duckie, but then the OP would no longer be the troll.

Katana or WWI bayonet, something precise because after several hours of play, I like to pinpoint the right province on a small map. I'm not a "big fan" of the HoI3 glove

we should probably get one of the devs in here to shed some light on Paradox's intensions regarding the cursor. Hope this will be adressed in one of the dev diaries soon.

Hum, I don't know if you're really serious... anyway, what I wanted to convey you with those two cursor examples I showed a few posts above is that the pointer is among the things which can, and will, be tackled by modders - so no need to worry about "devs' intentions" about such a trivial matter (in comparison to much bigger ones, of course, like AI etc. etc.)...

Peace!

but I don't use any mods it's too complicated
