Town and victory point names

Post by tripecac »

Is there a way to see the names of the victory point locations? For example, city names?

If you hover the mouse over them you should be able to see the city name on the right of the UI where it normaly says "forest" "desert" "hills" whatever.

Would a mod be able to display the names on the map?

All the towns you see are mostly generic tiles (for cities) with a few exceptions (mainly capital cities), so having the name permanently visible would mean that each city would have it's own tile.

I guess technically it is possible, but you would need to create hundreds of tiles and edit each map so it's not really feasible.

Can't text be displayed on top of a hex without requiring unique hex art to be generated? Ideally the names would be toggle-able.

Everything's possible... if enough people ask for it hehe. But as with other features, this is probably very low prio.

Are UI augmentations such as this addable via mods? Or are Panzer Corps mods primarily edits to the graphics and data files?

There are overlays that can be changed but that would still require to mouse over the hex and there would have to be some change in the executable that for cities it would show the overlay i.e. show a pop-up more or less.

It is a nice to have feature, some more immersion for the game but for me this would be low priority aswell.
