I started playing the french in 1936 with HoI2 v1.0. Then I switched to v1.2 and it was completely impossible! I then realised that the ressources (energy metal and rare) had been cut by half. I checked the 1939 scenario and the ressources are the same for v1.0 and v1.2. So there seems to be a mistake in v1.2 for french 1936 ressources. Could this be fixed for v1.3, or am I missing something
Well, if no one else is going to field this one...
In 1.2, peacetime_IC_mod effects resource production. You have 50% of at war ICs and 50% of at war resources. Gearing up for war events will bump this by 10% at a time. Going to war (allying with Repub Spain, for example) will remove them entirely.
UK has same thing, and the US has it worse - starts at 25% of ICs and resources, gear up events don't occur till WWII starts.
Combined with the problematic trading AI and convoy AI, this results in worldwide resource shortages in the '36 GC.
Not sure if the Soviets have a similar thing. They should. They have way too many ICs and way too many resources.
