You may have already seen this, but I took all of the Orthodox cores and the "Proclamation of Vladimir I," and GeneralHannibal suggested this:

Yep, will look into this - the core map in your AAR did look a bit messy!

You can potentially become much stronger than the USSR however in the game. So perhaps there is some way of checking this?

Click to expand...

You can technically get more cores and land than the USSR if you play your cards right, but it's unlikely you'll actually be much stronger than the USSR at a similar point in a vanilla game - you don't have the benefits of the USSR's tech teams and your IC starts off at a much lower base and remains there for the first few years. So, your army is going to be smaller (if possibly have better doctrines), and your tech is going to be a bit behind.

As far as Central Asia specifically goes, these areas are going to create significant additional problems when conquered, owing to them having a definite period of existance as independant states.

Other people have actually played the mod a lot more than I have, but it's supposed to be difficult! I believe the key is generally to be opportunistic and react to your enemies' weaknesses, and try to only fight one war at a time (which may nevertheless be difficult the way that the belligerence is set up in this current version).

That's down to a bug in the change TAG command (which is why I say in the FAQ that you shouldn't become the Soviet Union!). If you cancel all research, save the game and reload, it might make things better and you can start researching new techs.

Any plans on a Doomsday version or should I go dust off my HOI2 cd?

The mod works fine under Doomsday - just AI does not use spies.

Just as well, the intelligence minigame is somewhat annoying without automation.

Also, the new AIs are still based on the vanilla 1.3 HOI2 ones, rather than the Doomsday versions. So, they may be slightly less effective.

I'd say AI is at least as effective in DD as it is in HoI2. The only issue is that it might not benefit from enhanced DD AI, but I am not even sure of that.

Slider automation alone makes DD totally worth buying

YES. Playing it on DD now and loving the setup, makes me wish it was possible to combine it with some of the research improvements of HSR or other mods.

There are new events for Poland, Germany, France, Italy and Japan. Also, the situation caused by the replacement of the very strong Soviet Union by the various Russian states and aggrandised Poland cause the dynamics of the world wars to be quite different to vanilla games.

(See Timotheus' very good Italy AAR for an example....)

Thank you very much.

Though if you're going to read it be aware that not quite everything that happens in it is due to the ATR mod itself. Sometimes I have added in things due to specific circumstances in the game (such as the recent French surrender). Still, the majority of the stuff in the first 4-5 years was ATR based.

If we have bug reports for this mod, would you prefer they are posted here or over on the KaiserReich subforums? Since I don't have an account there yet and I am lazy, so here's a few I spotted:

1. 1940 Duma elections fired twice in my game, the first with the Tsar (I selected a constitutional monarchy) and the second without (General Dsomething was back in charge). I checked the file and I don't see a Sleep Event command, so adjusting the freedom slider in the election may trigger a second election.

2. Two General Vlassovs. Not that I mind...
