Are you talking about the Russian word "raz'yezd" (разъе́зд)? "raz'yezd" (разъе́зд) It has three different meanings: - constantly traveling - constantly on the move - constantly in a different place - A small cavalry or other mobile unit sent on reconnaissance or other missions d...

:howdy It's a very nice, beautifully described map. I asked because the word "balka" doesn't mean anything when translated from English into Polish. Only after asking what balka means in Russian (in simple terms) did I get the meanings: ravine, gully (Schlucht, Felsschlucht in German). You...

I always review maps before uploading them to the Polish server.
I was intrigued by a section called [107] Balka Neklinskaya, in clear terrain. What is it?

Yes, a designer-created list replaces AI.

Thank you.
This is for modern campaigns.

In modern times, the period from prototype development to entry into service is often a dozen or so years.
For example: 'AH-64A Apache', prototype 1975, production began 1982, entry into service 1986.

So what do we need to do to get an extra zero to this count? You could say that in two years (2019 - 2021) 10,000 posts were reached.

Thank you for your reply.

The game crashed after buying an infantry unit and then switching to another class.

I tested it and it works fine.

I have a question: the game automatically downloads maps if they're missing. Does the current Suite also have this option?

sympatyk

Thank you for taking the time to fix it and publish the new version.

Has the Suite also changed compared to the previous version?

sympatyk

As Randowe says, use original components, not heavily modified ones—preferably png.
The key is whether this drawing will be for the OG engine or the original PG2 (different color conditions).
