Oh, I remember that. Yeah, I was minding my own business, trying to plan out where to go next, then Britain invades. I spent the next most of the following turns fending off the British invasion by land and by sea.

The Entente seems keen in wrecking little ole Spain, removed of their Major Nation status, but Germany, Austria, and the Ottomans? They're bros and will fight their war peacefully. :c

Actually Ive upgraded Spain to a major power now and will be giving them a better starting army and navy as well.

A couple questions:

1) How was the economy, did you have too much or too little money?
2) How far did you get turn wise?
3) Are the other factions in the balkans tough to deal with or too easy?
4) How much research where you able to do, how many techs? Does it take too long to research them all?
5) Ive had reports that the second region i gave to Romania (the one Russia used to own) is building buildings and recruiting units on its own as if on auto control. Is that not happening?

A tarnished empire, stripped of power and glory by the greedy and envious. To be betrayed and abandoned and cursed and damned. Once defenders of Christendom, conquerors of the new world and old world alike, living by scraps. Mere echoes of what once was. A reminder of what may be again.

Through inquisition and conquest, through Spanish pride and Latin charm shall a rebirth of gold rise. To attain victory at any means, at any cost, to revive the past glories of all Spain. Never to be underestimated again, never to be unjustly invaded, never again to sit aside and allow what atrocities to come. We shall rise from the darkness, rise with a sacred glow upon our backs. To enlighten the world, to again spread a magnificent culture, and pursue they who defile the air with such unenlightened breath.

Now is no longer the time for mercy nor tolerance. No longer the time of forgiveness nor pity. There shall be bravery. There shall be glory. There shall be victory. This is the time of Spain. The time for vengeance. The time for Inquisition. The time for the Final Reconquista.

Dios es Español.

I don't want rep, I want Europe to linger under the shade of la Rojigualda. >:C

OK rather big announcement here, I want to preface this by saying to TGW team: DONT PANIC!

Heres the announcement: Ive decided to revamp ALL artillery, machine gun and tanks models! (and possibly some equipment models as well)

What do i mean by revamp? Im glad you asked. Currently there are a few issues with a majority of my models due to inexperience in UV mapping and bad practices with normal smoothing (or lack there of)

This lead to 2 major issues, blockiness of cylindrical and round shapes and creases in cylindrical and round shapes. I have recently purchased and taken some online courses in game design and modelling that show the right way to UV map, which is incredibly faster and more practical than my method, but not as accurate (very marginally speaking). I learned about vertex normals and discovered how to fix these problems.

The reason the team shouldnt panic is because it doesnt effect the model itself or the UV map in any way so no reworking of textures at all

The German heavy howitzer displays these issues perfectly, take a look.

Seams, huge one in the barrel and small one in the wheel on the right. Each wheel has 4 seams like that and some seams are visible in the armor plate too.
