Thanks Copper Nicus,
I think it's a good idea as well to try out using parts of New Order, I have not checked out the new tech tree yet.
You will probably be okay only taking the events that reduce MP and supplies, but it can of course not be tech tree fuel consumption AND those events.
I am a bit worried about the extra oil and supplies needed, supplies are great but oil is unfortunately never in short supply, for Germany that is, so that will not be a real penalty, although 20 extra oil per day, mmmmm, that might be nice, but who would ever have 100 mot/tank/mech divisions? I think German AI will muster around historical amounts there, so maybe 40 in total?
A human player, do you guys really go for motorized a lot, I usually build some 10-15 in total, only some 2-3 mech and 20 panzer for the 1941 army. Maybe the oil penalty can even be stepped up, so for fewer units even more oil use, to simulate the partizans and maybe some events in the fall/winter to really make them use huge amounts of oil, making the drive for oil necessary, although this might hamper the AI very much, but I think the AI should only win 1 out of 10 in the east anyway.
I was also thinking of events that would reduce the infrastructure in certain provinces, like Yogi has them now but not only take MP and supplies, but also reduce the infrastructure below 34, thus hampering movement, and infrastructure will recover again, but it would be great to simulate the problem of getting troops to the east quickly.
Leaves the problem of strat redeploy, can that be lowered as well by a winter event? Unfortunately that would reduce redeploy in the west as well.
Extra divisions, yes, that would be great and the big PLUS is that they would only fire when i.e. Leningrad/Moscow/Stalingrad are threatened by the Germans.
-Leningrad should be able to muster a max of 10 militia divisions and 1 regular infantry + increase fort with 1-2 points. Event which would release these in Leningrad and would reduce industry output there by 1-2 IC's?
-Moscow was never really threatened, because huge reserves arrived from the east, but if it would have been, 10 militia and 2 regular infantry could have been possible. For the rest same as Leningrad.
An event could also be triggered simulating the "siberians" that arrived December 1st from the east. This was a real army, 1000 tanks and a 1000 aircraft. Could this be simulated if the event checks the thread to Leningrad and Moscow (Germans in adjacent province) and releases 3 panzer divisions, 15 regular infantry and 5 fighter + 5 tec bomber divisions?
Or would this be insane? Trigger would have to check if war with japan, otherwise NO deal, sweet would be to take away the divisions from the east like historical, but I am sure that cannot be simulated? (this event OR the militia one, not both of course!)
-Stalingrad was really bolstered by militia's, workers joined the red army when factories were destroyed. When the Germans reach the Wolga (regardless if Leningrad or Moscow has fallen) the Russian should get 12-15 militia's and 3-5 regular infantry and raise the fort level with 2-3 points in Stalingrad. Reduce IC output in city.
-I still think the fort on the Krim (Sevastopol) should be level 7 at least, now 5 I think.
What about the new AI that somebody created for the USSR, I read about it and it seemed good, could we use that?
