indicate the owner of the areas

[DerArvid]

Hello,

someone has an idea, as one can indicate the owner of the areas nevertheless in MTW. Or how can one the data from a stored play to select?

Good try, but I don't quite understand.

How do you tell who owns a province? Is that what you want to know?

I hope this doesn't take the thread off-track, but there is a way. Hold an emissary over the name of the province on the strategic map. If tooltips is on, the name of the owner will appear.

to follow up on what Doug mentioned, i dont believe even an emissary is needed, just hold your cursor over the territory. eventually you will find yourself having all the faction flags memorized, and it will no longer be nessasary.

It sounds more like he's asking how to get that info from a savedgame file.

My guess is that DerArvid wants to know if you can play a savegame from a floppy or CD-ROM (which I don't think is possible).

Hello together,

sorry, i wrote it in German and translate it in a internettranslator, because my english is not so good
I wonder, what the translator build, too

First, thanks for the answers I know the possibility to look at the tooltip. What i mean is, does anybody have an idea how to indicate the owner of the different territories ? I think about a switch in the code of MTW, so that the color is enabled in the strategic-map.
Or how to access the data of a saved game? So, that i get a list of territories and it owner and make my own colored map.

THX,
Arvid
