1) I am playing as Belgium and the year is 1937. Do you think Germany will invade me around 1939? Is it at all possible to stop them?
Germany will almost always invade the Low Countries (Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg) by scripted event... usually in May of 1940.
Here is the event (from the /Doomsday/db/events/ai_ger.txt event file):
Code:
################
# German Invasion AI Low Countries German Invasion if early war
########################################
event = {
id = 20004
random = no
country = GER
[COLOR=Yellow]trigger = {
ai = yes
OR = {
alliance = { country = SPA country = GER }
alliance = { country = SPR country = GER }
AND = {
month = 4 # May
NOT = { month = 7 } # August
}
}
OR = {
AND = {
day = 1
NOT = { day = 2 }
}
}
local_flag = GERLowCountriesPrepare
government = fascist
OR = {
AND = {
war = { country = FRA country = GER }
NOT = { war = { country = SOV country = GER } }
NOT = { war = { country = POL country = GER } }
NOT = { event = 20002 }
}
AND = {
event = 20002
war = { country = FRA country = GER }
NOT = { war = { country = SOV country = GER } }
}
}
}[/COLOR]
name = "AI_EVENT"
style = 0
date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1936 }
offset = 1
deathdate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1948 }
action_a = {
command = { type = sleepevent which = 20003 }
[COLOR=Red]command = { type = war which = BEL }[/COLOR]
command = { type = war which = HOL }
command = { type = war which = LUX }
command = { type = ai which = "switch/GER_France.ai" }
command = { type = local_clrflag which = GERLowCountriesPrepare }
command = { type = local_clrflag which = GERStandardFront }
}
}
The eveny will trigger IF:
(1) Germany is AI-controlled AND
(2) EITHER (a) Germany is allied with Nationalist Spain OR
... (b) Germany is allied with Republican Spain OR
... (c) the month is at least May but no later than July AND
(3) it is the beginning of the month AND
(4) the GERLowCountriesPrepare flag has already been set (by event 20003) AND
(5) the German government is Fascist or National Socialist AND
(6) EITHER (a) ALL OF THE FOLLOWING ARE TRUE:
... ... (i) Germany is at war with France AND
... ... (ii) Germany is not at war with Russia AND
... ... (iii) Germany is not at war with Poland AND
... ... (iv) event 20002 (Invasion of Poland) has not fired.
... OR (b) ALL OF THE FOLLOWING ARE TRUE:
... ... (i) event 20002 (Invasion of Poland) has fired AND
... ... (ii) Germany is at war with France AND
... ... (iii) Germany is not at war with Russia.
This last case is the usual and historical one: Germany has conquered Poland and is at war with France but not with Russia.

2) Which game is better; Doomsday or Armageddon? I have both of them and I still can't figure out which is 'better'.
Armageddon is "better", but still has several unresolved bugs, notably the Ghost Fleet bug and the Naval "cannot-be-attached"-ments bug.
I play Armageddon... because I can just edit my save to correct any bugs that come up. For someone lacking this skill, I would suggest that you play Doomsday instead... it is much less buggy... until Armageddon receives a new patch.
