Okay guys, I'm listening. What is wrong with Dies Irae: Götterdämmerung 2.06?
Hi Devildread! Haven't been around since last summer but this weekend I took up Hoi3, FTM and DI:G again, so I have been playing a new game from Jan 1936 until May 1938. These are my observations:
BUGS
- Neutrals do not provide me with Strategic Resources, even when they are completely in my corner and the tooltip says that by now they should do so? Got no Tungsten from Portugal, nor Oil Refinery from Romania :sad:
- The 3 initial Pocket Battleships have a surface detection of 5, but when I build extra ones, they have a surface detection of only 2?? If you recall, I did a lot of playtesting last summer and reported this bug before. It means that independent convoy raider Pocket Battleships are unable to spot the convoys and thus just sail around endlessly...
RANDOM WEIRDNESS, maybe WAD
- All the engineers in the German panzer divisions and panzer HQ at the start of the game have 80 EXP?
- The black/white photo of the CAG in 1936 is of a Stuka as far as I can tell, but the model type is said to be a Hs-123?
- Immediately after Japan declares war in 1937 all of the Chinese states except the communists
start aligning themselves with the Allies! 
hmy: Quite a blow to me, since I was aiming at getting Nat. China into the Axis and I had been supplying them with lots of stuff for years.
- Even though France did not do anything, the whole world felt threatened by them?? Most countries in Europe and South America has a French threat of about 5-10, but Nationalist Spain has a French threat of 109!! :blink:
- China may be getting too powerful from the "Stronger Sino-German Agreement" (the one with air support). After 3/4 year of fighting, the front at Shanxi has moved 1 province deep (in both directions at once) and there is complete stalemate. Japan does not land in Guangxi Clieque or do any of the stuff they used to do in vanilla HOI3... They just sit there.
- The Medium and Long Range Sub Techs are 1938 and 1937, but the conning tower techs are both 1936?
OTHER OBSERVATIONS
- It is too difficult to bring about the Anschluss with spies. After more than 26 months of espionage, I got the Anschluss 1½ months before the historical date, at a time when they neither had the Political Crisis flag, nor a NSDAP org/pop of more than 20 (it must be 50). I have NO clue what caused it, but it seems a waste of spies, frankly...
- I was glad to experience that the trade system for good relations with Romania and Norway finally seems balanced (they no longer cancel deals constantly). Unfortunately, if you trade with the Soviets, have the Sino-German Agreement, the Norwegian-Sweden Steel, the Romanian Oil and Göring's 4-Year Plan with Resources, it is extremely easy to stockpile Rare Materials and Metals to over 50K by early 1938 (and later comes more deals with the Soviets). My point is, that metal still seems too accessible. By mid-1937, I was self-supplying and had no need for any imports of any kind. I just imported Rares and Crude Oil. So I had an idea about the whole Swedish Iron Ore / Narvik port to make it more important in the game: Instead of making it related to the Metal resources (which can be quite easy to get from mainland Europe), how about enforcing a new Strategic Effect which says that without access to a friendly Norway/Narvik, Germany suffers a -5% or -10% production rate on Automotive and Shipbuilding to reflect the lack of quality iron? It would be sort of a negative version of a Strategic Resource almost? No bonus if you have it - but a big penalty if you do not? Just a suggestion!
