British Landing at Kiel and Upgrade Time

[makif130289]

hi, I am playing with second beta as germany.

I have taken Denmark early to close the strait to the British. But they somehow achieve to land at Kiel. I see that in order to reach beach of Kiel, the British have to pass through strait. Am I wrong ?

here, screenshot

Second thing is just to confirm if I am doing something wrong or not. I am investing 30-40 IC on upgrades all the time and I am still unable to set at 0. Conversely, it keeps increasing and limit my production capacity considerably. In spite of my big investment in upgrades, most of my infantry is 1936 infantry. It is 1940 and I have 6 armoured divisions and will have 8 by May 10.

Due to long build times, it takes also much longer to upgrade units.

The strait is not closed if you have no forces stationed in Copenhagen. The same goes for Gibraltar, Suez and Panama if I remeber correctly.

Are you saying you dont want to be upgrading anything at this point? If yes - then just go through all your units and set them not to upgrade. Looks like it might take a little time ....

Alternatively if you use the automated feature you just have to check one box to stop any IC being given to upgrades ...

upgrading 1931 inf to 1936 inf is cheaper than 1936 --> 1939. once it finishes the upgrade to 1936 it is beginning the upgrade to 1939 which costs more

It's illogical to connect the street ownership with Copenhagen. You'd need to occupy the northernmost province of mainland Denmark.

It blocks the strait between Copenhagen and Malmo. So yeah, its correct.

Also why is their no Kiel Canal?

Wrong thread man.

It should also be Örebro and Umeå.

Thank you, now I understand how they managed to land at Kiel.

For upgrade thing, I don't use Auto sliders, I am just unsure about whether I shoud produce new units or upgrade existing ones. I fear that my 1936 divisions could be overwhelmed by 1939 Soviet division.

We are not using umlauts or accent marks. You could point out several such "errors" in that screenshot.

Yes I should but it was only theese 2 he had a circle on

The circles are there to point out a province connection error. As I said before, even if you say the names are incorrect, I'm afraid they won't be changed.

about Kiel Landings

I think DH team needs fix that thing. Always AI Brits lose our amphibius landing division

# Upgrade cost
0.6 # 0.5
# Upgrade time
0.8 # 0.6

i think aod they are 0.5 and 0.9 but as build times are really long in DH uprgading is really costly and time comsuming.

i had over a year over 100 in upgrades and SOV still had better units than i.

Nah. The major bottleneck is at the Danish straits - Little Belt, Great Belt, and Øresund (the Sound). The Little Belt is, as you might expect, extremely narrow, so it's mainly the other two that matter; and they pass on either side of Zealand, the island represented by Copenhagen in DH.

IRL I believe both the Germans, the British and even the Danes contributed to mining the Danish straits during both world wars.

Fixed in the latest version.

Nice! can you also fix building time on units so I can start playing this game soon?

What do you mean by fixing buildin-times ? Shortening of build times ?

Yeah units should take less time to build, otherwise all minor countires are unplayable
