what i meant was when you had downloaded the game mod, it says " hoi3 not installed". i found this only happened if i had patched main game to 2.04e. after reinstalling and patching to 2.04d the download identified where my game was and installed fine.
That is why you really need to make a HOI3 current directory and NEVER NEVER EVER mod or play in it. From that directory copy all the files and folders to a new one and name it something line HOI3 DIG or whatever you want. Then use that HOI3 exe to play your games. This way you always have a nice clean official directory of the game.
BUG FOUND:
EDIT: 4 year plan isn't bugged as it's hard coded to end in 1940.
Observations:
Supply usage is astronomical. I need 90IC of supplies just to maintain my army which is not hugh. (75 INF, 10 Jager, 15 MTN, 15 GAR, 14 Panzer, 6 MOT, 3 MAR, 3 Para). Most are sort of parked outside of Germany proper but 90 IC seems like alot. I'm current or ahead in all research. Only operations are subs in Atlantic ( about 12 out at a time) and air battles over UK 12 INT on air superiority and 6 on intercept and 4 NAV + 16 TAC on port bombing missions when their org lets me.
This time Rep. Spain won in late 1938 and Italy is still doing very well in NA. Japan defeated China easily but I cut ties to China after the second decision and only did the supplies. France, Poland and Low Countries were all very easy to defeat. Poland in 10-14 days and France Low countries in 5 weeks (2 to get through Belgium and 3 in France). The French fight was very historical. French and UK troops raced into Belgium along coast and I went through Luxembourg and swung toward coast. It all went down like real war except I kepr driving towards paris to cut it off.
MP with decisions is decent. Without getting extra MP from decisions hurts.
I played with 2.04f and no issues and no crashes so far.
SUGGESTION:
In this game I made sure I did a trade with Norway in 1936 and another one as soon as I could. this and the trades with Sweden got me the extra metal. But it also meant I had no incentive to invade Norway at all. I was wondering if there could be an event where the relations with Norway go below 50. This then forces you to invade Norway or do without the metal. Otherwise, no reason to get involved there.
