The arrows are very History Channel like

[Riekopo]

My guess is that the inspiration for the arrows in the game came from watching The History Channel. Though there's not much history on it anymore. What other cool things from the The History Channel would be cool to see in the game?

Hello Riekopo

 

Arrows were a collective invention. They were mostly inspired by old military maps from history textbooks I had in school.

 

Our goal was to create a feeling that a general has when he draws or imagines maneuvers when looking on the map on the table.

Some computer games used arrows before - particularly Hearts of Iron 3 and Autumn Dynasty.

We tried to improve on them.

I like it too, adds something nice to the game.

I saw it on Discovery channel about 15 years ago..

You guys should add more stuff like that from military maps.

i would like to see an option to review the map of the coming battle ( maybe similar to your textbook or similar style ) just not showing the enemy reinforcement entry locations but just the known order of battle locations for troops on the map.
