I think I have found a workaround for the issue, it's far from good and quite dirty, but at least it allows AI to compete and human player, given some restraint will not use the hole

Add the sting global_ic = 0.4 (or 0.5) to static_modifiers.txt in

peace = {
....
global_ic = 0.4
}

section and presto increase in IC will compensate increase in CG at least partially, Japan looks much better now

Addition, it's better to add

global_resources = 0.4

to the same section as well, in order to not destabilize resource market.

This increases IC and resources for every country in peace to compensate for increase in CG and supply demand due to bug.

Also in /common/defines we have

Code:

economy = {
	MAX_PROVINCE_SELL_PRICE 	= 2000,
	LEADERSHIP_TO_DIPLOMACY 	= 0.5,	 -- Leadership to Diplomatic Influence factor.
	CONSUMER_GOODS_DISSENT_MOD 	= 1.0,
	IC_TO_MONEY 				= 1.0,
	IC_TO_CONSUMER_GOODS 		= 5.0,
	IC_TO_SUPPLIES 				= 7.0,
	CONVOY_BUILD_COST 			= 2,
	CONVOY_BUILD_TIME 			= 40,
	ESCORT_BUILD_COST 			= 3,
	ESCORT_BUILD_TIME 			= 50,
	LEADERSHIP_TO_SPIES 		= 0.05,
	BUILDING_REPAIR_SPEED 		= 0.1,
	LEADERSHIP_TO_OFFICERS 		= 1,
	THREAT_FROM_CONVOYS_MODIFIER	= 0.1,
	CONVOY_CONSTRUCTION_SIZE 	= 10,
	MAX_DAILY_TRADE				= 100

},

I think IC_TO_CONSUMER_GOODS = 5.0, means that 1 IC produces 5 CG. Increasing it might help (haven't checked yet)

That's bad since CG bug happens only during peacetime We don't want to rise IC all the time

Another way to fix the problem:

I added the following string to every Civil Law in \common\laws.txt

war_consumer_goods_demand = -0.70
peace_consumer_goods_demand = -0.70

70% less CG might be too much but at least i can play as Nationalist Spain without wasting 110% of my IC for CG, it works when at peace or war and doesn't mess with IC.

The full string in the Laws file is as follows, modify all others in the same way:

open_society = {
allow = {
ideology_group = democracy
}
counter_intelligence = -0.25
war_consumer_goods_demand = -0.70
peace_consumer_goods_demand = -0.70

I thought the CG problem was only when at peace?

You could just not build divisions in peace time. Of course, this would complicate defence of France just a bit when Germany comes knocking. Oh well... you wanted a challenge... or a government in exile.

Same with Germany, no problem.

Also, should it look like this? I don't really notice a difference.

peace = {
max_war_exhaustion = 100 #base max at peace.
global_ic = 0.4
global_resources = 0.4
}

This change gave me some IC room as Italy: CG down from 57% to 43% of IC.

Yep, since the formula squares the number of brigades in a division to calculate CG needs, you may want to edit the following line in the common\defines.lua file:

IC_TO_CONSUMER_GOODS = 5.0,

Assuming average division size is 3 brigades (and that's what many AI templates use), you need to multiply CG production by 9, giving:

IC_TO_CONSUMER_GOODS = 45.0, -- 5.0,

Has anyone tried this yet, if it works?

I did quick check with value of 25, but didn't notice any change in France'36 game. Maybe I failed somehow
Yes, saved the file and restarted game

Go to HoI3 folder -> commons and open the defines file with notepad. Edit what you want based on what you read above. The simplest way is to set IC_TO_CONSUMER_GOODS to 45.0. Just put a 4 in front of the 5 and you're good to go.

Also, for better performance set MAX_DAILY_TRADE to 5.
