Is this Competible with R56?

good, thanks!

The counters have been switched. I just hope I didn't break anyone else's workflow by doing so :). The order of the counters has been the same for years, but it seems like a good adjustment to me

I replaced the fist with 009 because it is basically MP cavalry and I wanted to differentiate it from the standard cavalry. The pawn is a little more difficult, at first I wanted to put G on him, but I often use G myself and didn’t want to confuse myself. Therefore, I replaced it with 020, although this is not entirely correct, it is visually similar to a pawn and is not cavalry, as in this mod.
Thus I changed 13 from 9 and 7 from 20

Good to know, AI is indeed a different story. I'm curious about the changes you made. Which counters (numbers) from the mod do you prefer to use for 007 and 013?
Alex Paen (ljekio) Nov 10, 2023 @ 9:50pm 
I'm talking a little about something else. In vanilla, the templates of some AI countries can have non-standard infantry and cavalry badges in addition to helmets and horses. They look like a pawn and a fist (there may be others, but these are the only ones I've encountered so far). And when using this mod, they do not match their character by sign. If I remember correctly, the pawn is numbered 007, and the fist is numbered 013. I just changed these counters from this set to more appropriate ones and now I play calmly.

Thanks for your comment. Make sure you have "Use nato symbols" under options enabled. You can then change the default NATO symbol for each template to a NATO symbol from the mod if necessary. I deliberately chose to keep the mod as simple as possible because of ironman and so that it always continues to work well
Alex Paen (ljekio) Nov 6, 2023 @ 8:29am 
but there is one small problem - the preset infantry templates using icons such as fist and pawn do not match the meaning of this set at all. I think it would be nice to fix this.
Alex Paen (ljekio) Nov 6, 2023 @ 7:58am 
This is exactly what I wanted to get - normal counters instead of vanilla ridiculous icons which are completely useless if you choose counters. Thank you!
@machine Apr 1, 2023 @ 9:57am 
Still works well. Thanks.
Alexander Oct 1, 2022 @ 4:46pm 
Thank god these still work :-)

i've been playing since HoI4 came out, and this mod is one of my all-time favorites, in the top three. thanks! (if i hadn't spent my points like a drunken sailer, i'd give you an award)
Tocharius Jun 23, 2022 @ 2:19am 
perfect, thanks!

Hello! I am currently developing 'The Second Great War' mod, for ultra WW2 immersiveness. I would love to integrate this mod, that is, if you permit me to do so. Credit will be given!

@Mad_mike54 I think the problem with the missing descriptor is caused by the Paradox Launcher and not by the mod. Please see the topic on the Paradox Forum:
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/mod-missing-descriptor-file.1481804

Apparently it isn't fixed yet, but someone wrote: "I had the same problem. I fixed it by manually uninstalling Paradox Launcher in Windows programs. Then launching from Steam downloaded a clean Launcher which was a bit different from previous one."

I am trying to use this 11.4 but says its missing a discriptor. Was working fine in previous version.
Hoist Nov 30, 2021 @ 2:08pm 
Thanks for the update
Baldos Aug 9, 2021 @ 2:59pm 
Thanks el colonel !
el_colonel  [author] Aug 9, 2021 @ 6:30am 
@Baldos I agree. Airborne, marines and mountain are also commonly used symbols. It has been added as you suggested and also in black/white
Baldos Aug 8, 2021 @ 6:37pm 
Great! thank you so much.
Can you add airborne to blue, marines to red ....and green for mountain?

This would allow USMC in red, airborne in blue and Gebirgs/mountain troops in green.
el_colonel  [author] Aug 8, 2021 @ 2:54am 
@aquelarrefox @Baldos red, blue and black/white is added for infantry, motorized infantry, mechanized infantry, cavalry and armored
Baldos Aug 7, 2021 @ 2:57pm 
I agree with aquelarrefox-colored icons--especially black and red would be great
aquelarrefox May 23, 2021 @ 6:49pm 
adding some inf counters with color background or colored lines to identify different kind of inf units could be nice, normaly you sonf have several types of cavallery or armor
MakeLoveNotWar Mar 31, 2021 @ 3:17pm 
for me this adds them as army counters and not as unit symbols
Nuclear Mar 27, 2021 @ 9:49pm 
Please for the love of god make a mod that does NATO symbols for theatre icons. MPU died and there is nothing out there
el_colonel  [author] Mar 13, 2021 @ 1:56am 
@[PRINCE] Myaster the infantry with G symbol was meant for garrisons but use it however you want of course :steamthumbsup:. I have added a guards symbol. Have fun
[PRINCE] Myaster Mar 12, 2021 @ 6:18am 
Hey is it possible for you to add like Guards NATO counter? You have the Infantry with G symbol but I think it's most likely Grenadiers?

Many thanks on behalf of everyone el_colonel. Stay safe!
el_colonel  [author] Mar 21, 2020 @ 5:43am 
The mod is updated, it should work now with La Resistance
Ian Feb 28, 2020 @ 10:10am 
Can you pleas update for La Resistance? This breaks the stat values in division designer and ship designer (the fonts are nearly invisible with the wrong colours).
AtomicBlastPony Feb 16, 2020 @ 9:01pm 
The tank symbols from the mod look ugly on map view.
Deuce Nov 28, 2019 @ 3:26pm 
update
Odoacer Mar 13, 2019 @ 9:41pm 
Now we need to go to 1.61.
Lord_Eol Mar 7, 2019 @ 6:54pm 
Hey man, can you just set this 1.6.* to avoid the next two years of people asking you to update; I'm think we can both agree they won't fiddle with the graphics again until 1.7
Lord_Eol Mar 2, 2019 @ 8:33pm 
ty man
If you could remove the default Hearts of Iron 4 symbols this mod would be so perfect. The reason we ask for these to be removed is that everybody is sick to death of seeing pawn symbols and fists in a war simulator. It's so cringey and many people play with NATO symbols because of it. But with the default symbols still enabled, it means that the AI can continue to use them on their divisions
el_colonel  [author] Mar 1, 2019 @ 11:47pm 
@Lord_Eol it is fixed, all code has been updated to version 1.6
Lord_Eol Mar 1, 2019 @ 10:48am 
The counters still mostly work in 1.6 but def a graphic bug as they all now get this weird transparent square top left of icon in the designer.
G_Rider Jun 14, 2018 @ 12:49am 
Does this disable achievements?
ConqueringHero Mar 18, 2018 @ 9:05am 
Why does this mod have different symbols NATO symbols from other mods and google?
el_colonel  [author] Mar 10, 2018 @ 1:28am 
@Rex Ursus updated the mod
@machine Mar 9, 2018 @ 11:21am 
Could you update this please? Very good Mod
oddball Oct 13, 2017 @ 2:29pm 
Could you remove the icons and just show nato symbols? When the AI mods templates everythign ends up pawns and it looks stupid.
lyotar Jul 13, 2017 @ 2:02pm 
can you make a verson that doesn't do that
el_colonel  [author] Jul 13, 2017 @ 8:45am 
This mod changes the height of the symbols grid so the new symbols are visible but not the size of the window
lyotar Jul 12, 2017 @ 7:05pm 
was wondering if your mod changed the size division designer window
三浦 Jul 7, 2017 @ 12:55am 
thank you!!!!!:steamhappy:

Thank you!

Any chance of adding/creating SS NATO counters similar to what is in the now defunct "More NATO Symbols" mod?
