very pretty map! loved the stream.

I am really wondering how the infrastructure view will look...maybe something for a new video update?:unsure:

Noooooooo!!!!!!!!! I missed it! When's the replay available?

 

[AdAstra]

That was was they announced...

Well at least they did as promised then. Still.

 

[Shynka]

Why is Germany titled the German Reich whilst no other state has their full title? Like French Republic etc.

A livestream is something you do when you are ready to bring out the big guns. They could have achieved the same thing with an FAQ thread and a few new pictures of the map. They annouced it would be based around the previous dev diary, but there is no reason why they can't show off something more gameplay related.....something........anything!

I remember that in previous video it was called Germany. Wondering too about this change.

Good job this is still Alpha, because I found the weather, night/day and FOW overlays far too obscuring of the terrain for my taste. Pretty sure that's something that can and will change between now and launch though, so that doesn't bother me overmuch.

I missed most of the 2nd half, how'd the counters demo/discussion go?

I enjoyed the chat, very informative! I love the map fully zoomed out! I like hearing that we can block out areas where we don't want convoys to go! Britain can try sending convoys near Iceland then over to near the USA then south around Africa by blocking out areas! Take that Axis!

Link to replay it would be great - many of us werent able to watch it.

 

[Danmark Rising]

If you go back to the twitch channel you can click the link below the video for "Past Broadcasts" and watch it.

 

[apfelstrudel]

Initial thoughts from a 1st time poster!

The map looks very good and someone deserves a firm pat on the back (sun/moon reflections look great and they don't dominate the image) but more importantly I loved how zooming in and out was reflected in the naturally changing level of map detail + disposition of units (very seamless).

I remain open minded on the issue of counters/sprites, but I have to admit those times when the map was zoomed in quite far and we transitioned to sprites I did feel less excited (having enjoyed/preferred using counters previously). But, like I say, I'll await to see future developer videos showcasing the sprites in detail before I decide whether or not they will truly help or hinder this forth coming title for me.

Overall, from my months of silently reading these forums, I'm almost certain to be purchasing this game no matter what - too many impressive features appear to be on the horizon! I'm sure I can put up with a niggle or two that isn't quite to my liking (yes, I try to fight it, but I remain sceptical on sprites!).

the map looks nice but please, reduce the size of Gibraltar a little.

 

[CanOmer]

Will you fix graphic glitches on detailed coasts? It also appers in EU4 on different zoom levels.

never heard of them. screenshot plz?

you need to make that and pacific island a lot bigger. they are strategically important and need to have room to fight on. Accurate gameplay > map "accuracy"

It is related to height map where heights are detailed on detailed coasts. I have had trouble with it when I was modding it in Eu4.
