I remember Major Heinz had the same problem when recording his OG Let's Plays, but i don't remember if he solved it. But i think he is not active here anymore.

Fortress Holland At HQ i bought another artillery and tweaked attachments. After deployment i sent my core paratroopers to Middelburg while the aux paratroopers dropped near Rotterdam and Den Haag. Ground units moved westwards on a broad front. I spent too much time hunting prestige and clearing fl...

I have a problem in the next scenario. I have only 16 ground units whereas the Victory condition requires 18 units to escape. Cannot see how should do this???

I uploaded a picture in discord

Battle of Narvik II At HQ i bought Scharnhorst, upgraded my MTB into a destroyer and tweaked attachments. Deployed my ground units around the VHs and waited for the enemy attacks. My destroyers layed a minefield but this time none of the enemy ships sailed on a mine. I also had a hard time dealing ...

Welcome to the forum @eskuche

If you have concrete questions about the gameplay, feel free to ask!

Battle of Narvik I At HQ i bought another fighter and attachments. My para engineers built an airfield in the north, using the fast builder attachment, then embarked again and both paras flew to the northeast. I also had one recon and mortar in the north and one recon and MG in the south to collect...

Operation Weserübung At the proto choice screen i opted for the captured tank unit. At HQ i bought a second fighter and two Fallschirmjäger. The player also gets a free healer unit. Deployed my units in the south and at sea. My paratroopers flew to the north (and while doing so violated the Swedish...

Current scenario: Battle of Hel At HQ i sold attachments and bought a fighter and recon bomber. Deployed my core units in the northwest and southeast and then closed in on the Polish positions at the coast from all directions. A misxed task force was ordered to cross the bay and capture Hel and its...

I think I've found he reason. Someone reported an issue when playing PBEM asking to accept a leader for an enemy unit. I fixed limiting "asking" to units belonging to active players in addition to not being AI units :doh Thus when AI is playing human units do not ask if they receive a leader. :bonk...

Hello Luis

I am playing with OpenGen 0.93.5.RC1.f and when one of my core units got a leader in a defensive support fire in the AI turn i got not asked to keep/decline the leader.
When i am in my own turn the keep/decline leader setting works so far.

Battle of Westerplatte At HQ i sold two attachments and bought Hipper and another artillery. Deployed my recons and the field howitzer south of the Westerplatte and the rest of the units at sea. The recons speeded into the city and helped the aux units to capture the post office. My ground units la...

Other OG bug: In the HQ screen (before deploy), fighter air attack values are displayed between [square brackets] , like if they couldn't initiate air combat! :lol It shows like it should for bombers though (both passive bombers and fighter-bombers have/don't have their right brackets). Is it raini...

Invasion of Albania Only Italian units can be bought in this scenario and so i acquired two cavalries. The rest of the prestige i put into attachments. After deploying my core units alongside the Italian aux units my army approached the Albanian coast. I had to fight few ships and planes before my ...

If I had known that there is no refit in the next scenario I would have been more careful of holding strength or refit for my units

Good thing is, the ground troops are not needed for fighting in the next scenario. So you don't have to refit them!

Current scenario: Battle of Mallorca When playing the first scenario with AI 3.0 i realized that the AI acted already very different from what i had planned. So i will set the AI back to 2.0 because all scenarios have been build and set up with AI 2.0 in mind. Battle of Mallorca At HQ i skipped the ...

The DL asks me to continue with Google, Apple or email and they all require creating or logging into an account. My old computer is just not playing OG and I guess I used to dl files on my work laptop, but now I'm retired I can't do that. I will keep playing the old campaigns at this stage. Yes, it...

It has been so long since I downloaded anything , I have forgotten how to. Do I have to create an an account in dropbox to DL these files? Is this the only way to DL Atomic efile. Do I have to place all the new maps in the Map folder. I miss the one DL for all the new additions :huh No Dropbox acco...

... How do you handle the big maps in the G35 Delta Force campaign? There are even some XXL maps with the biggest size possible. I didn't play this campaign on the 14-inch laptop, but on an old, discarded desktop PC with a 22-inch screen before I bought the laptop. So you can not play new campaigns...

:howdy whereis, i have the same problem as you: New laptop with 14 inch screen. The resolution is the same as the other players and I have set the zoom to 160%. This makes it easy to see the strength of the units, but the battle preview remains a mystery. But I've gotten used to it a bit in the mea...

I also play with 1920x1080 but on a 24" screen.

I guess the only thing you could do, is to zoom in

Currently reworking and finalizing the Weltkrieg campaign. Here's a list of the changes: - set AI to 3.0 - proper Battle of Hel scenario replaces Scapa Flow Bonus scenario - proto choice after Hel between captured Polish equipment: tank/artillery/recon - 6 new scenarios -- Albania 1939 -- Dnipro 194...

But you do not need 30 moves, 25 should easily do it.

Well,... i needed all turns and only got a regular victory

Current scenario: The siege of Malta At HQ i bought strength points for Bismarck and the flakship. If i did something else, i forgot it already. There's a SH at the northwestern tip of Malta, so i deployed my ships and para recon only at the port of Gozo. I was carefully avoiding to shoot and blow ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_xqb416S7o Hi There, Hola ... long Time not been here... (Aber ich seh schon, Para hört immer noch sehr merkwürdige Musik und achtet im Topic weiter unten noch immer seeeehr aufs Detail :lol ) Welch seltener Gast in unserem Hause :howdy Du bist bestimmt gekommen um ...

Current scenario: Capture of Gozo Did nothing at HQ. Deployed my ground units on Gozo and grinded my way to the eastern part of the island. Had to use reloads and savegame edits to overcome the enemy long range artillery (that i could not see). One enemy artillery even had a fire discipline leader....

Current scenario: Air battle over Malta I am not allowed to swap attachments from ground/naval units to planes and so i only bought new ones for my planes using the prestige i had in my wallet. I also sidegraded the torpedo bombers to the land attack version for free. In this scenario i can use onl...

Current scenario: Landing at Gozo Did nothing at HQ. The player has to command few aux units on a mission to destroy coastal guns on Gozo island. The only core unit is a free marine HQ the player gets. I landed the units in the north, using the one ocean hex the AI could not observe. The aux planes...

This is an late addition to Weltkrieg. One more map and i am finished with map making for this year

Number: 1592
Name: El Habbaniyah (3K)
Location: Iraq
Period: WWII
Map size: 3150;3000
Comment: mod of map 368

Current scenario: On board for Malta The player is allowed to buy air units only and so i sold many attachments and bought two fighters and one bomber. I also upgraded my two old torpedo bombers. In this naval scenario the player has to kill a certain number of enemy units, so i set up my fleet and...

Current scenario: Secret mission in Spain: Malaga ... I wish i had at least one more mortar and infantry. At the end i could only get a regular victory. One VH and 4 flags i could not capture in time with my small force. ... It looks as if the General is inflexible. :idea If the force is too small ...

Current scenario: The passage to Corsica Bought only attachments at HQ. The scenario was not easy and i had to restart after 4 or 5 turns. The enemy radar cruisers are a real threat, so i made them my primary target. Instead of splitting my force i quickly sailed to the north and engaged the northe...

Current scenario: Secret mission in Spain: Mallorca Bought attachments for my ground units at HQ. Again i can only use ground units in this scenario and because of my small core it takes me longer than BV limit. My 3 new units all passed 500exp without getting a leader. So still only 7 leaders afte...

Current scenario: Secret mission in Spain: Malaga Bought some attachments at HQ. The player also gets 3 free ground units. After deploment i had to repell enemy attacks in the south and then had to grind my way northwards. I wish i had at least one more mortar and infantry. At the end i could only ...

Current scenario: Operation STROG (STRait Of Gibraltar) Bought few attachments at HQ. After deploying my ships and naval transports in the west i slowly moved eastwards towards the Escape Hex. Thanks to my recon planes there were no surprises and my navy tackled the enemy fleet without problems. Th...

Current scenario: Hunting in the Atlantic: Rescue French Fleet Bought like 3 attachments at HQ. The scenario is a nice air and naval battle. I first scouted with my planes and shot down the enemy fighters while my fleet moved only a little and mostly was stationary in the southeast while the enemy ...

Current scenario: Hunting in the Atlantic: French Antilles Bought only one attachment at HQ. In this scenario i can deploy my ground units only and they have to do some island hopping from the south to the north. AI has the first turn and enemy paratroopers capture the islands. I was lucky because ...

Current scenario: Hunting in the Atlantic: Terceira This time i took away attachments from the ground units and gave some to the ships. The player also gets a free fighter. It's a naval and air force scenario. The player has to destroy some MSU units on the island of Terceira. So i mostly fought th...

Current scenario: Raid to Liverpool At HQ i added attachments to my ground units. After deploying my ground units they destroyed the required number of enemy units in and around Liverpool. OpenGen 0.93.5.RC1.f * 21 Feb 2024 * AI version: 3.0 (Dev) Efile folder: D:\Games\OpenGeneral\efile_atomic\ * ...

Current scenario: Operation Ireland: Dublin At HQ i tweaked attachments only. The map is big and my core is small and it took a long exhausting time to move my ground units around on the map. I missed BV by one turn and could not capture all flags. I declined two leaders, so still only 7 leaders :l...

Current scenario: Operation Ireland: Cork The intro says i can't buy units in the upcomming scenarios, so i sold a lot of attachments and bought the recommended carrier. Further i decided to buy a fighter, recon plane, battleship and marines engineers. The fighting was not hard but it took me a lon...

This is how BT018 looks in the game right now.
[EDIT: the background hast to be unicolor. There are pixels with a slightly different color.]

Definitely, although it depends on what you mean by " new 3k maps". I mean the newer maps with 3150x3000 pixel that got released in the past 1.5 years (There's no other active map maker anyway :lol ). Yeah, i am really fixated on this 3150x3000 pixel specifications :lol My brain doe not want me to ...

Current scenario: Landing at Channel Islands Tweaked attachments at HQ. The player can use the marines with amphibious transport only and they have to drive across the ocean to attack and capture the Channel Islands. Since they only move slow it took quite some time to get to the islands. Next time...

Do you use any of the new 3K maps in your campaigns or plan to use them? I am just a little curious

Current scenario: Crossing the Strait of Dover Deployed only my ships, planes and para units as ordered in the intro. The paras flew to the west but it was tricky at first. Somehow i failed to understand that the paras don't have to cross the river at all :bonk It took me some time before i underst...

Current scenario: Battle of Hel The Scapa Flow bonus scenario (where the player could get a free submarine) has been dismissed and will be replaced with a proper Battle of Hel scenario. At HQ i bought a fighter and a mortar. Deployed most of my ground units in the southeast and my two cavalries in ...

Very nice map
And there are Polish place names ..

Thank you

the submarine specific variables (2018) in the efile cfg. What do you mean? Anyway, it's clearly a regression since as I said older executables don't display this shadowing, while newer ones do (on the same test scenario linked above). :huh For example, as far as i know, sub_ex=1 is not widely used...
