All new stuff what you want to see in 1.04 patch.

[unmerged(151332)]

Lets started:

1. Uzicka Republika Event.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Užice

2. Bihac republik Event
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bihać_Republic

3. Add two events for Nedic republik and NDH got some stationary units in order to prevent annexion.(In case that all troops go to eastern front)

4. Alternate scenario 1943 Invasion of Balkans, instead of Italy.

5.Greek Civil War new battle scenario, but put in all regular scenarios also.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_Civil_War

6. Spain go to Axis side but got Morocco (event possibility.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spain_in_World_War_II

Initially, Spain favoured — or was pressured by — the then-victorious Axis Powers. Apart from ideology, Spain had a debt to Germany of $212 million for supplies of matériel during the Civil War. Indeed, in June 1940, after the defeat of France, the Spanish Ambassador to Berlin had presented a memorandum in which Franco declared he was "ready under certain conditions to enter the war on the side of Germany and Italy".
At first, the German leader, Adolf Hitler, did not encourage Franco's offer, as the German leadership was convinced of eventual victory. Later on, in September, when Britain had demonstrated its resilience, Hitler was more receptive to Spanish approaches and promised help in return for its active intervention. This had become part of a strategy to forestall Allied intervention in north-west Africa. Hitler promised that "Germany would do everything in its power to help Spain" and would recognise Spanish claims to French territory in Morocco, in exchange for a share of Moroccan raw materials. Franco responded warmly, but without any firm commitment.
Falangist media[citation needed] agitated for irredentism, claiming for Spain the French Navarre, French Basque Country and Roussillon (French Catalonia) as well.[3][4]

7.Spain sent volunters to Leningrad and one air blue division event.

Spanish volunteers in Axis service
Although the Spanish State remained neutral throughout World War II, it was ideologically aligned with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. There was also a "debt" for the help that these regimes had given to the military uprising. When Germany invaded the Soviet Union, Franco, pressured by the Germans, offered Spanish manpower to help in civilian warwork and military volunteers to fight against the allies. This was accepted by Hitler and, within two weeks, there were more than enough volunteers to form a division — the Blue Division or División Azul under Agustín Muñoz Grandes — including an air force squadron — the Blue Squadron. The Blue Division trained in Germany and served, with distinction, in the Siege of Leningrad, notably at the Battle of Krasny Bor, where General Infantes 6,000 Spanish troops threw back some 30,000 Soviet troops. In October 1943, under severe Allied diplomatic pressure, the Blue Division was ordered home leaving a token force until March 1944. In all, about 45,000 Spanish served on the Eastern Front, mostly committed volunteers, and around 4,500 died. Joseph Stalin's desire for revenge against Franco was frustrated at the Potsdam Conference in July 1945, when his attempt to make an Allied invasion of Spain the conference's first order of business was rejected by Harry Truman and Winston Churchill. War weary and unwilling to continue the conflict, Truman and Churchill persuaded Stalin to instead settle for a full trade embargo against Spain.

8. Spain German attack of Gibraltar event, and adding event 7 after that. Morocco claims.

Operation Felix
Main article: Operation Felix
See also: Military history of Gibraltar during World War II
Before Hendaye, there had been Spanish-German planning for an attack, from Spain, upon the British territory of Gibraltar which was, and is, a British dependency and military base. At the time, Gibraltar was important for control of the western exit from the Mediterranean and the sea routes to the Suez Canal and Middle East, as well as Atlantic patrols.
The Germans also appreciated the strategic importance of north-west Africa for bases and as a route for any future American involvement. Therefore, the plans included the occupation of the region by substantial German forces, to forestall any future Allied invasion attempt.
The plan, Operation Felix, was in detailed form before the negotiations failed at Hendaye. By March 1941, military resources were being ear-marked for Barbarossa and the Soviet Union. Operation Felix-Heinrich was an amended form of Felix that would be invoked once certain objectives in Russia had been achieved. In the event, these conditions were not fulfilled and Franco still held back from entering the war.[6]
After the war, Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel said: "Instead of attacking Russia, we should have strangled the British Empire by closing the Mediterranean. The first step in the operation would have been the conquest of Gibraltar. That was another great opportunity we missed."[7] If that had succeeded, Hermann Göring proposed that Germany would "... offer Britain the right to resume peaceful traffic through the Mediterranean if she came to terms with Germany and joined us in a war against Russia".[6]
As the war progressed and the tide turned against the Axis, the Germans planned for the event of an Allied attack through Spain. There were three successive plans, progressively less aggressive as German capability waned:

9. Attack and partition of switzerland event.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Tannenbaum

10. Add E3 map 1000+ provinces in patch(when its finished)

11. Every partisans nations have their own flag and generals.

12. More partisan events

13. Possibility that you can choose to play with some nation partisans in battle scenarios and in scenarios.

Food as a Resource.

how would this work?

provicne produces X amount? and then you turn it into supplies or sell it? or would it be classed as another 'supply' units needed?

So is, e.g., a new logistics system. Food was vastly important during both WWs, but has been somewhat overlooked in the game, apart from some annoying dissent hits for Germany in WW1. I realize it would be quite some work to implement, and that it probably won't be part of 1.04 (because that one will apparently be a small patch) but I just thought I'd mention it in this thread.

[unmerged(41190)]

my $0.02 on 1.4

i love the idea of food as a resource, that would certainly change things ie the importance of the Ukranian bread basket, although food is actually a supply anyway.

I also like the idea of universities, but each major city would probably have a university in real life anyway. The sudden building of a university would seem odd *Note to self - this is DH, not Civilization V*


I think the next patch needs waaaay more events.

1) Dramatic and HUGE increase in Dissent if Germany doesnt have Winter equipment in 1941 and is at war with Russia (lasting until Spring '42).
2) Germany gain 2x tank Divisions and blueprints when taking Sudentenland to reflect the impact of Czech Pz35 and Pz38.
3)Russia gains nuclear tech - (equivalent of the US Manhatten Project event) following the industrial spying events.
4)Miles more July Bomb Plot consequences.
5) Volkstorm event (more manpower) - if Soviets occupy key territory (ie East of Rhine provinces such as Stettin).
6) Race for Berlin - Soviet speed increases dramatically for 1 month (April 1945) as Stalin gave an open competition between Zhukov or Koniev, to see who could take Berlin 1st. This is only triggered if Soviets occupy key territory (ie East of Rhine provinces such as Stettin).
7)Allied Airpower decision (March '43) - gain either 4x Strat bomber OR 4x Naval bombers (this reflects the huge argument 'bomber' Harris had about strategy - Britain couldnt decide if it should use 4 engined aircraft for Atlantic patrols or to bomb Germany. Harris won the argument.
8)General Russia - Russia gains extra mobility in Dec 1941 for 2 months if is at war with Germany. (Perhaps same again for Dec 1942. Also Gains 10x mountain troops at Moscow.
9) To The Barricades! Soviet get + 10 fort to Leningrad if Germans occupy Gdov and Novgorod
10)To The Barricades! Soviet get + 10 fort to Moscow if Germans occupy Tula, Kaluga OR Novgorod
11) Dance to Stalin's Organs - Russia gets x8 mobile Rocket Artillary
12) The March From Red Square (Dec 1941) The Red Army parades in Moscow, before heading to the front (-10 Dissent).
13) Arctic Convoys - (Britain) for loss of 50 Convoys. Increase relationship between Brit and Russia by 50 and Russia gains 2x Tank div
14) Rise Up Red Brother! - Massive partisan campaign around Minsk Region. This could be re occurring Decision that the Russians could do every few months or so.

Overall, i think Russia should be an easy pushover for the first 3 months of the German-Russian war, then it should get harder and harder. This could be reflected by many more Events being triggered. At the moment, if you can steam roller Russia in the 1st 12 months, the rest is easy. I find this very, very disappointing.
New events should be like:
"New Stormovik Factory Starts Production - gain 4x CAS + 5 Ind Cap in city X"
"New Heavy Tank Factory Starts Production - gain 4x Htank Brigade + 5 Ind Cap in city X"
"New Lend Lease Arrives - gain 4x Mot Inf"
New Lend Lease Arrives - gain 4x Int F"


By early 1944 Russia should be unstoppable - Huge, modern, well equipped with a high moral.


Oh, some fun things too
1) A Last Panic - Germany gets blueprints for all sorts of advanced tech if Allies occupy Ruhr Region and Russia occupies Rhine Region (triggers Jan 1945).
2) Hitler at the Eiffel Tower (if Paris falls, Hitlers pic was a huge propaganda weapon) Gives +5 Dissent to Britain and France
3) Comrade Commissar- Red Army Officers now look after and support the army, rather than purging and looking for traitors or spies. Triggers Oct 1941 (-5 dissent)



Dammit - i wish i knew how to make events - I so need to make my own mod.

Food as a Resource.

It isnt AOE III, but maybe better trade is needed.

 

[Goldblooded]

Maybe you could build farms , or simply the more infrastructure the more you produce idk

This is not what I had in mind. The point of food on the map is to model the wartime scarcity of food in Germany and Western Europe in general, due to trouble importing food. Part of the reason Germany went for Ukraine in WW2 is its large food production. In WW1 the UK slowly starved Germany's population with its naval blockade (which, again, was a reason for Germany to occupy Ukraine when Russia collapsed). In both world wars, Germany tried to starve the UK out of the wars with its subs. They way I see it, food should be a resource just like energy, metal, etc., and can be traded between countries. The food a country requires is proportional to its population (i.e. the sum of the manpower value of each province) plus some extra for its standing army, and some countries will produce more food than they require, while other don't, which means they have to import. Food production cannot be increased by building stuff, the same way as resource production by provinces can't be improved. But, decisions like 'food rationing' or something could reduce the amount of food needed by the population. Each country has a food reserve, which is modified daily by the amount of food produced/imported minus the amount of food used up by the population/army. If food reserve reaches zero and more food is needed than is produced/imported, the country starts gaining dissent proportional to the amount of food it's lacking.

So no AOE3 business

 

[Limith]

Adding a new resource is a bad idea for minor patches since it will heavily break compatibility with mods and it will require considerable research on food for all scenarios. Too much work for too little effect. Instead, some flavor events to abstract supply can be written by modders to represent food in Ukraine.

Yeah i know, It could affect things such as dissent too; although you cant make it too complicated but it would be an interesting addition.

 

[unmerged(41190)]

Food: Its a great concept, but i think the its more or less hinted or suggested at via the regular Supplies system in the game.

Universities: I still like this idea, but I dont think the government would have build universities at all. However- they would have built 'research labs'. perhaps for each research lab it could reduce the costs of 'Invest In National Rsearch' by 10%?

 

[Gort11]

Yeah, I'm quite happy to leave food/water/ammo/artillery shells/bombs/etc/etc/etc rolled into a single resource called "supplies".

And I'd far sooner they had changing skill levels for research teams than extra buildings like universities.

 

[Limith]

One of the proposals sitting on our tracker is to tie Tech teams to province ids, this can be used for things like Universities. I don't think we will have university buildings though.

Tying production to province IDs might be more difficult, but would be an even better idea in terms of realism.

 

[unmerged(41190)]

If talked lots on how i think Russia should be modified in the next patch.....


but another idea i would like to see is the death of leaders.
If im correct, even if a leader is encircled and defeated, he pops back up again in the Leaders list.
I would love to be able to surround Guderian etc, defeat him and then know he will not be available ever again.
I want to hunt and destroy competent leaders.
