Scourge of War Boards

I really liked the original mod, but my PC couldnt handle it.

I'm looking forward to trying this one. Will make HITS play very interesting, give you another reason to try and stay removed from the action and test your sense of direction.

Played well on my PC - I tried a division battle, good FPS throughout.

This is a really great MOD - if my PC can handle it i'll make it a regular. I'd even sacrifice sprite ratio for it. Adds a whole new level to HITS.

You can see how poor visibility gets in the first picture when the fighting is heavy - I got attacked on my right first and I couldnt see more then one or two regiments along but he left was clear as day. You have to keep riding up and down the line. Picture 2 shows what happens when you dont look out properly:)

Glad to hear that the FPS hit is not a major one. It really does make it fun to be down on the ground level because you just can't see when things heat up(without swamping your PC), which adds to the confusion which to me is a big plus.

It was a FPS hit alright, but not a huge one. But, there isnt much vegetation on that map either. With a bigger battle, and vegetation, I could be in trouble

Out of curiosity - is a lite, lite mod possible? Or a series of levels below this but above the stock game?

Yes a lite, lite is not that hard to do, I will mess around with it some more tonight.

I am having trouble getting my file to stop naming itself efx 2012_09_ ect. double post accident. :

Con20or, try this one: I removed the artillery smoke back to vanilla and adjusted the smoke levels. Let me know how this works for you?
Lite, lite version, :cheer: to try, Just remember to change the filename back to just "efx" and not "efx 2012-02-09" I don't know why this happended, but it would not let me change the filename for some weird reason and I don't have time to mess with it at the moment, work looms.

Will give it a go, thanks!

you also have nice looking terrain, Stevedrumsdw

This is a packed version of this small edit. I hope you don't mind Stevedrumsdw, I only made it so there is no overwriting files, this way you can still keep the original edit intact.
