Hi there,
I dowed Denmark as Prussia to get Schleswig and Holstein back into the Reich. But now i'm not able to march with my Army from Rostock to Kiel. Its always says that I can't enter the region because of bad Terrain, weather or because its a neutral region. What can I do against this?

Thanks so far, and great game!

Do you have a free passage right with holstein?

Hi,

i have two questions:

1. Does anyone know how many regions there are altogether?

2. Why is it not possible renaming of a corps "." enter (for example 1. Korps)?

Sorry for my bad English.

How do I post a save game?

Andy,
1. No idea. In all the world? Remember, many of them are undiscovered at start. Can give you a list for Prussia, France, GB, Austria and S-P.
2. You can rename a stack. Select the Tab and Alt-Left Click.

Thormodr, Zip up the entire contents of root of the saves directory. Helps to throw in the mainlog file from the logs directory and the scripreport from the scripts directory for troubleshooting.

Compress your saved game, for example compress the files inside the directory 1850GC0 without the backups directories ( you will include all previous turns if you do that) and attach it here or in any public hosting server, like file planet.

Hi montgomeryjlion,

Thanks for the reply!

How to rename a stack, I knew. But I can not "." enter.
A German corps called for example "1. Armee-Korps" and not "1 Armee-Korps".

[montgomeryjlion]

According to PhilThib you can only rename stacks, not individual units.

Thanks to both posters.

I posted one save. It was 2 mg.
I only have a 9 mg limit.
So, I couldn't post all those previous turns.
I am also unsure if .rar or .zip is better.

Mind you, I am computer illiterate in some areas. :P

Make sure to register your game (on the Paradox forums) so you can see all the sub-folders. There is a lot of good info in there to help you learn the game.

I play a game as S-P. There are some provinces were i can´t build railroads, because of difficult terrain. What do i have to do? Any tech i need?

You dont need anything special, but the railroad will cost a lot more than the stated amount due to the terrain. You'll need to wait more turns and save up more resources.

Ok, thanks. Any possibility, where i could see how much more is needed?

It's 25% more expensive in difficult terrain.

[Lantros]

Damn math! Thx.

[montgomeryjlion]

And for those who don't want to do the math:
Normal: 500 Capital
30 Steel
25 Mfg. Goods
Difficult Terrain:
625 Capital
38 Steel
32 Mfg. Goods

Of course, that does seem to vary a bit from country to country

[Don Malloy]

I'm curious, why even bother building railroads if you can get them by improving roads (colonization) past the level of 'road'? Upgrading roads to railroads seems much cheaper and does present other advantages too.

[montgomeryjlion]

The colonize decisions only work in colonies.
Plus hopefully the devs will fix that bug.
If you want railways in your home country, need to build them.

Hello,

I am curious about food can, I do not see an building factory producing it, nor it appears in the manual in any type of classification goods... Do someone know how to produce it?
Also, with the option to play and pay in the F4 economic section, "road improvment" (I always play as Austria) it seems all my territories already have road, does that mean that I do not need to use it and it is for colonial region or does it improve the quality of the existing road and therefore its production? what about if there is a railroad on it does it change anything?
Thanks a lot.

Preserved Food, which is what I assume you are talking about, is created by using other foods. There's a little button on the top right of the F4 screen that you can use to turn this on/off although TBH it is hard to tell whether it is on or off. Just look at the bottom line of the preserved food section as you push it and the number should go up(On) or down(off)
I believe Austria only needs the road decision for one province (SudTirol if I remember correctly although I won't swear to it). Otherwise, it's just a waste that I can see.
