Hmmm, when I watch signatures and AAR parameters, I always see V. Hard/Furious and threads "why HoI is so easy?" are much more common than "how to win this game".
But seriously, I don't find new techmod challenging at all (but it's designer opinion of course). It's simply more oriented on balanced development, then on wining the war by forcing one particular technology branch. At least I see it this way.
I understand this is CORE: Germany thread. If there are any questions to the new techtree let's move to Land doctrines forum - for now it's still the home of alpha techmod. And I really listen to the people - in fact over 50% of the ideas added to the mod are based on discussions from that thread.
Slovakia
In response to some comments in the discussion thread, here's a proposal for Slovakia:
- New AI file to be designed. Build priority motorised infantry, armor, fighters and dive bombers. Passive against Poland?
- Set up German land convoy for all resources via event 2006. It's up to the human player to add transports (bug logged).
- Transfer 20.000 coal, 10.000 steel and 5.000 each of rubber, oil and supplies from Germany to Slovakia (share of spoils in partition of Czechoslovakia).
- Review SLO tech levels (Copper Nicus?) and if necessary add to event 2300 that Germany gives armor techs etc to Slovakia (they should at least have Czech levels) and maybe some doctrines.
If this works well, then the same should be done for Croatia and RSI.
EDIT: Corrected event number. Events have been updated, just need some province numbers to complete this. Feedback appreciated on the validity of the ideas here.

Re: Slovakia
Ok. One suggestion - give them infantry as a priority, such a small country won't be able to handle production of so costly units like mot/armor. Supplies idea looks very good - most of the time their units got 0 org all the time.

Checked the events, SLO should have all CZE tech by default. Still probably needs a doctrine-transfer from GER, IIRC they fought well in Russia and shouldn't have rock-bottom org levels in the game.
I think SLO will be able to build motorised and armor, will test and see. Historically they had the Fast Corps and I'd like to retain that if possible.

Slovakia test results
Correction, the events are misleading and it appears that SLO only has junk tech We will definitely need a tech transfer.
They have no resources to start with, only what they get from Germany. At about 20 IC (some upgrades in progress) the resources will last about 3 years (assuming they don't trade it away) which IMHO is reasonable.
It's random what units they keep, note that a few units defect to Germany.
German AI resources before and after end of Czechoslovakia:
The shortage is more likely induced by bad trades than anything else Not much to do about that, although a world market overhaul is on the to-do list there is some AI issues about WM trading and no event commands or AI parameters to control it.

I've added some setup resources to Croatia as well but no land convoy.
With v0.4 I find AI Germany has no issues with Poland (8-14 week campaign) but sometimes struggles with France/Belgium. I'm toying with the idea of making Germany a bit more reckless - opinions?

Hmmm, I find this a bit longer campaign important for timing - thanks to end of France between april-august 1940 and Balkan war, USSR is attacked in 1941. Let's live it as it is now.
these have maybe been posted before.. but
and dont complain on the language....
Germany Event: In 1937 Heinz Guderian´s book Achtung! Panzer! comes. In that he talks about the importance of speed in battle.
Guderian Doctrine: Arm. speed +5%, Arm Hard attack +1
Germany Event: In October 1938 Von Runstedt got to old for the army and retired
Loose the service of Von Runstedt
Germany Event: In May 1939 Hitler asks Von Runstedt for begging the plane how to attack poland
Get back the services of von Runstedt
Germany Event: 2 June, Hitler arranged a new great parade for the return of the condor legion
Dissent -2%
All: Summer 1936, Olympic games in Berlin
dissent -
USA Event: Einstein warn USA that germany are going to use the fission power for making mass destruction weapons. Sep 1939
fission tech build time -10 days
German Event: 20 april 1939, Hitlers Birthday and he is celibrating it with the greatest military parade ever.
dissent -2%, supplies -2000,
German Event: Januari 1942: Walter Von Reichenau dies in a heart attack
Loose the service of von Reichenau
add these.. they are real good ;P.. i think ;P

Germany allready have a blitzkrieg Doctrine but maybe we can have this event trigger it
The wake_leader command does'nt work so we cant do this one yet.
Not sure how to treat this one. in any particular game the condor legion might not even leave.
Already in
Should definitely be in. Ill write this one up tonight. Ill have to chedk what a regular parade costs and then add a little
maybe
Ghost_dk
Alright, or maybe just do this as a requirement for the blitzkrieg doctrine. If you do the Guderian Achtung Panzer doctrine is slows down the german technology and makes the game more realistic.
So my advice is to make a new tech called Guderian Doctrine and from that on you can development the Blitzkrieg. In Guderians Book he dont talk directly about the blitzkrieg but about its ground rules.

I think you have an event that gives the war expericane doctrines from the spanish war. Do this one like that one ;D
In my books i stands that if you stood still at on point and watch the whole parade march by it took 6 hours so this isnt just a small military parade
And what i know hitlers birthday was celibrated every 20 april, but this parade was the biggest.. so you can add all his birthdays.
I really think it should be in because it was a natural death.
-----------------------
I think that the leaders that fougt for germany in spanish war should get some war experiance.. 20 maybe.
-----------------------
Where should I put my swedish events.
No. Lets not add more technology.
If there is already an event on their return, why would you do another for a parade?
You can't add experience.
Did you try "Scandinavia"...

a recommendation, copy the exact part to what you are answering... it is very dificult to read your last post... i didn't understand a word of what you had said...
like this:
No. Lets not add more technology.
I think core team should add more tech. The book of Guderian was the first step against the blitzkrieg doctrine..
Burris
It was an parade, therefore i think the game should have it)

Maybe some explaination because we are so relaculant in adding new techs...
1) It's already present - Germany got Blitz from the start. It's brand new, and considering the fact, that it adds 1 Mov point to standard 8 (yes, only 8 points) of Mov for mech.mot/medium tank divs, it's huge advantage.
2) Germany in HoI 1.04 are very strong from the start. They are able to win with every AI opponent in Europe, and in test games I've seen panzers conquering India and China in 1945. They definetly don't need more help.
3) Changes you suggest are already present in many existing techs. We are trying to avoid doubling effects and creating "empty techs".
But we could give germany Blitzkrieg through a "guderian writes book" type event in 1937, right?
We can, and I like the idea. It will weaken a bit German position in 1936 (Re-occupation of Rheinland), which is rather good. What needs to be prepared:
1) all inc files (disabling Blitz from the start) - we want to make it German only, right?
2) event for Gremany giving them this doctrine.
I would say - 0.5.
Also death of Riechenau is good event idea and no problems with balance - who uses him in HoI anyway?

I would definitely make it germany only. Just imagine if they started sharing it to their allies.
i can write this up if you like. I just finish'd my latest projects so im looking for work

i say it again.. the book of guderian wasnt a totaly developt blitzkrieg warfare plan. But the "Guderian Achtung Panzer doctrine" may work so u after u got it can reserch the blitzkrieg doctrine.. this will make the german reserch slower.. thats good!
of course only german should have this doctrine..
BUT i think it should take much much much longer time for other countries to reserch the blitzkrieg doctrine couse the germans were leading in this area.. so make it 360 days for that doctrine..for other countries..
I think the doctrine name should Be
Achtung! Panzer! like his book
