Lots and lots of changes, try it out to get a feel.

This version is almost a Release Candidate, but not quite so you get a Beta 6.

Graphics packs (separate download):
CORE 0.4.9 Black & White graphics pack (137MB) - if needed rename into .exe
CORE in Color graphics pack for CORE2 0.4.9 (170 MB) - if needed rename into .exe

And of course, the current version of Hagar´s travel guide:
"Download the CORE travel guide version 2.0, march 1st, 2011

Enjoy!
 
Back home again and found this nice surprise - thank you a lot devs, much appreciated!

Really looks like a major change from previous version.

Not save game compatible right? I am divided between starting a new game on this version or finishing the old one first.

Maybe you've missed it and thus haven't included it in this version: Titan made better hoi_counter_strip adjusted for CORE. It really makes the battlefield much more informative. Highly suggest you try it out - you won't go back after you do so.

Edit: Is it possible to just add misc.txt in the older version and expect all to continue well with the save game?

Hister,

There is a wide range between "not save game compatible" and "likely to crash on you suddenly". These may be ai files, flags, events that have fired etc.

So with a major change like this, go for a fresh game.

I hope you like the small "Tripartite" touches we have.

Playing as CAN. I looked up the rearmament event. Not sure if I understood the event. Basically it says that rearmament will take place when CAN is at war unless one of the majors gets too aggressive before. What follows seems to be an increase in IC in certain provinces (at least in the following mobilization events). But actually nothing happens. The IC remains the same as before. Is this meant to create additional IC or is this a kind of AI-command?

Edit: The decrease of oil production seems to work, however.

OK, noted.

Yes I enjoy seeing parts of Tripartite pack included by default :D

Adding IC and oil is commented out (see # in front of the line). Mobilization events do not give more basic IC, they change the effectivness of your basic IC (and the ressource production as it's tied to industrial efficiency). This results in more available IC.

Too bad, would have made things easier - but it´s even more interesting this way. I like the changes with the tech teams; really helps to keep up with the majors, at least in some areas.
 
In older versions of CORE, CAN was producing too much stuff pre-war, so we stripped some of their starting IC away and gave it back with various Mobilisation events. But more recent versions have re-balanced CAN back to a better level, and so we don't need to artificially penalise CAN at the start, then boost them back up later. The events commands are (as Denniss noted) #'d out (so that the game does not read them), but we left them in there for now in case wanted them at some future date.

Tried Japan until Marco Polo, fjuuu, that is really a big change we have here. Having 10 tech teams from the start...
 
Inevitably, this is going to need some tweaking - perhaps some of the semi-major powers (JAP, ITA, even people like POL, CAN, etc) tech teams might need to be toned down a little. On the flip side, most of the minor nations get significant increases on their previous performance, which really does help them become more viable and keep up with at least the basic stuff they should be researching. Think of (for example) Finland, with 1 TT slot before - now with 2, and much more able to prepare for the Winter war etc.

Tim
 
Being on top of everything with Japan now feels wrong. Dunno what the future years will bring but for now I managed to check out ALMOST ALL research options in the given years. Toning down tech teams of japan for about 15 to 20 % would be reasonable. I otherwise totally agree with the change you made considering the minors. Before they felt disabled he he.

Great game you are making guys, thank you again!
 
And wait till 1940 and see how Japan is doing then. I am in 1943 with my Japan game and behind in several areas. Of course I am behind in electronics and radar, but also in aircraft techs.

You have to consider that quite naturally you will not do an Secret Projects as Japan, nor any serious armour research. And you start well advanced in naval techs. So in 1938 you will feel well ahead of things....

You have a point there. From this perspective things are the way they ought to be. No need to tone down the Japs :D

I still get unwanted string when I'm chosing between the two naval brigades - for Japanese cruisers if I'm not mistaken. I thought that was fixed?

Even with the 10 IC per teach team boost?

It was fixed but broke again..... - attached file should fix this. Please place in mod-CORE2\db\tech folder.

Thanx for prompt solution.

I mean America and Germany; if Japan lags behind it's perfectly ok from an historical point of view. But even nations which always had 10 TT and enough skill 7-8 teams to fill the slots, are lagging behind. Some techs take about a year to research and since there are so many of them there's not much you can do about it.
