Improvement suggestions

[neonlicht]

Very interesting idea.

As for me, I play these games solo against the AI, and so I started editing the Parameter Data files (PDTs) to gradually reduce visibility over the course of a day, in order to (sort of) simulate accumulating battlefield smoke & haze. Reducing visibility also means I have less info on the AI opponent and have to scout more.

I think the games now ship with a PDF document explaining how the PDT file works and how to edit it.

I tend to modify the PDT file so that I have 15-minute day turns and 30-minute night turns. I then add weather entries for each turn. I edit the visibility so that it gradually increases from Dawn to Noon, to a maximum of 20 hexes, and then gradually diminishes from Noon to Dusk.
