Please tell me that Italy will no longer put 40 divisions in Ethiopia by 1939-40 and go for Egypt instead and Iraq.

It's funny because historically Italy did have over 300k troops in the East Africa theatre during WW2. Sometimes the stupid AI is (accidentally) also historical AI.

Oh my God they really were that stupid then.

Even then I want more action in North africa and if that means "screw Ethiopia" so be it.

I KNEW IT! I knew it'd be Bella Ciao!

Expected the release date to be in October for the March on Rome, but September 27th for the Tripartite Pact works too.

Wait, is that a Victoria music track in there too?
 
Will this be permanently exclusive, or will it be made available elsewhere in one or two years? Most Paradox games don't have "permanent" exclusives, so this is a weird offer to see.

Will There be a more concrete diary of the ai work?
I'm interested if the hardwired deletion of capital ships and AI build priority has any changes?
Any concrete work/roadmap on the naval ai - for usa/eng for example that need to split its fleets?
(Seems like the land/reserve AI might be good for naval ai perhaps)

I hope you are going to add the new systems, coming with this DLC like power struggle, also to other countries in free updates.

Where are La Resistance changes?In the first announcement preview diary they said "numerous quality life improvements" and "a new functionality" for intel and resistance system.

I hope we get a fix for the collaboration governments who dont work properly at all.THe surrender limit resets when another country declares on the same enemy you have and after war ends there is no collaboration,its 0%.IF more countries are already at war and you want to join war(allied or not) you dont even need to bother doing collabs cus they dont work at all.

That's from last DC. What about it?

Edit: I forgot that Wednesday started just a dozen minutes ago, sorry.

Warning: Reading this Dev Diary when you aren't fully awake will result in sexual excitement.
On a slightly less serious note, I can't wait to try this out. I just wish I didn't suck hardcore at this game, but I still have fun. Thanks Devs!
