Waterloo 1.08 now out!

[TheGrayMouser]

There's a folder in the graphics folder with 'alt' ground colours etc which gives you same ground colours as in WPW. You have to swap them out. The vanilla colours give height differences quite clearly though.

There is, however, no version of those for the Magnified 2D view which seems a little strange.

Yes. It is strange. I agree.

For some reason I'm not getting the "Hand-Drawn 3D Maps". 
What am I doing wrong?

Cheers,

HI, the new map graphics are like 4.5 Gig so are a separate d/l on John Tillers website in the update section.

Thanks! I'm getting old, my man.

Does one place the Maps folder from the 4.5GB download inside the Map folder as separate maps, a folder, Maps, in the Map folder, or outside so there is both a Map and Maps folder?

Outside so there is both a "Map" and a "Maps" folder.

Technically those in the alt were taken right out of Seven Years War (and used in WPW); that title (SYW) pre-dated any engine change that used the 200% -basically I am saying that they never existed.

It is a pretty easy fix to make a set (and match the texture) - as how they were created was to create a band the width and height of a row, and drop it behind the layer of the hexes - and repeat it all the way down.  Leastwise that is how the 50 and 100 sizes were made. I haven't looked for it in awhile. (The hexes in the alt folder would be the limit of anything I did in this ... although the added unit symbols was something that was put together for an engine change in another series).

Fwiw - I didn't see a 200 sized set of fords graphics, either ( but that was in the regular Map folder).

I got the latest version of CW during the summer sale.
It contains Revised Waterloo Graphics.zip

But on a quick compare I cannot find any difference between the regular files and the revised ones.

Waterloo_108.msi

Just curious about what’s “missing” - old vs new?

v1.08 raised the infantry ammo loss percentage from 4% to about 30%! This must be a bug as the result is low/out of ammo divisions after very few turns. I informed JTS and hope they will fix it. I edited my PDT file so I don't have to wait for the fix.

Fwiw: I am pretty sure it wasn't a bug, however providing the feedback is exactly the way to go. :)

I was pretty sure too and they already acknowledged it ;-) They are working on v1.08a

There is another bug. Infantry in column attacking into a village is evaluated as being disordered.
