WWW spoilers: Will America bring some FREEDOM to this game!? Not really, but lol paratroopers. I particularly like the area defense mode right now because without it micro-ing counters to the stuff the US is doing would be incredibly annoying. Russian national unity is waay too high now, unless Trotsky is a god (if so, OK!). Germany shouldn't need to advance beyond the A-A line to force a Soviet capitulation, particularly if Vladivostok is taken. It would be nice to hear from the US and Japan players, even if only over voip, just to get the screen share or hear what they're thinking.

I finally got around to watching WWW10, somehow this is the sort of thing where 2x speed legitimately improves things.

Seriously though: I don't get the hate against NATO counters. (I am not a grog. HOI3 is probably the groggiest game I've played ever.) In my view, the base symbols are easy to learn and they are combine in an intuitive fashion to convey a lot of information about a unit. They are also more clear in a low-res environment To use the cavalry example: We know that the top one is a horse, but with a little squinting it also looks like an SMG or a rifle perhaps. In fact, when I first saw the post I actually took a head-take as to why a SMG unit had a cavalry counter. The NATO counter on the other hand clearly has one line going through it and not two, with blurry vision or lower resolution that will always look like cavalry. Although I might suggest for HOI4 that the counters be shifted to the right side of the icon box, unless there's information that will also be shown on the right hand-corners of that box as well.

Wiz posted:Seriously, it's fine if you guys prefer NATO counters, but assuming that everyone in the world will find 'box with line' the most intuitive representation of a cavalry unit is pretty silly. Wiz posted:The argument was that NATO counters are superior in every way. I find that argument silly, because it definitely takes longer to learn what combination of box/line represents what than 'horse = cavalry'. Once you learn them they're obviously fine, and there is some merit to the argument that they scale well to small sizes, but if you put someone who hasn't ever seen a NATO counter before in front of HOI4 they're gonna find the picture icons more intuitive. The basic NATO counters, by themselves, are not more intuitive, no one denies that a picture of a horse is easier to understand as cavalry than [ / ]. But [ / ] is a much cleaner symbol than a horse icon and *in my own personal experience* the NATO icon language was easy for me to learn. The intuitive part comes from the fact they they combine cleanly: if you see and X and O superimposed you know its mechanized, if you see an X with wheels it has trucks, and if you see an artillery dot with wheels you know it's self-propelled, etc.

Actually, if the horse icon is hard to read, why not just adopt the knight icon from chess?

Combat bonus or no, simply knowing what frontline provinces have how many troops is worth a whole lot, as is preventing the enemy from knowing as much. For every major and most minor games the computers are my first techs if only because I'll be getting encryption/decryption anyway.
