CORE2 Update (7 Dec)

[MateDow]

Here is the latest update.

We have solved a problem with the Spanish Civil War. Namely it wasn't happening. In my last test games the war has happened nicely.

Most of the testing is focusing on balance and trying to make sure that there aren't any serious problems in the balance. To give you idea of some of the things that I have seen in my testing...

-Aircraft are too powerful against naval units
-Possible problem with Germany declaring war on the Low Countries which enables an effective war against the French.
-Germany and the Soviets have a good back-and-forth battle which is slowly driving the Soviets east.
-I have seen the Soviet AI do something stupid, declare war on Japan while the Germans are advancing on Moscow.
-The techtrees are logical and working well. I can't wait for the second release when the doctrines are introduced.
-It is very boring to play as Newfoundland, but it is a good country to playtest with due to no economy and very few events.

I figured that you would want another update since it had been a couple of weeks. MDow

Because I know that y'all like them, here is another screenshot. Just enough to raise some questions, but not enough to give too much away . Enjoy. MDow

Give it to us all now!

Seriously though, stop talking about how great the 2nd release will be when the first isn't out yet, it's driving me nuts.

Oh, and, muchos thanks for CORE and keep up the good work.

I am an HOI/CORE veteran, but I have just opened HOI2, preparing to play. In your screenshot, I notice your army sprites do not have the numbers of divisions present showing on the map, at least they do not appear to. Is this a change from standard HOI2? If so, I like it. I find the numbers annoying on the map display.

By the way, if this should be posted somewhere else, I apologize. I am not an experienced poster.

It probably has something to do with the fact that I am zoomed out one level. It cuts down on the amount of clutter and allows me to see more of the world.

Nope, this is a good spot. You were discussing a post farther up. That is always appropriate.

By the way like the screen name, but I always prefered Hickory .

Well there goes my favourite party trick!

 

[Sir Humphrey]

Few q's.

Will you have changed the structure of the graphics (icons in the interface)? In that is it still the, to take an example ENG_22_4 blah blah or has it been changed?
Have leaders been updated or new pics added?
Can the default terrain colouring be used?

 

[unmerged(21682)]

Very nice... very nice indeed. But what about the doctrines? Will they be standard like in HoI2 vanilla in the first patch, or what do you mean by that?

Thanks for the update.

 

[Berlichingen]

Show us a screen of just one new event, just one . . .

 

[De_Genius]

no. Show us some tech tree. That is what I am most excited about. The tech tree in HOI2 is boring as hell, and I want some more techs, so I can make some choices instead of going down the same road as everyone else.

Nice to see progress. Lets hope for an early Christmas present

 

[Ghost_dk]

air doctrines will be replaced in first release. Land and Naval most likely in 2nd release.

All other techthrees have been redesigned almost from scratch

 

[Grattons]

Argh

Enough with the first release, second release terminology.

from Matedow "The techtrees are logical and working well. I can't wait for the second release when the doctrines are introduced."

from Orange Devil "Seriously though, stop talking about how great the 2nd release will be when the first isn't out yet, it's driving me nuts."

from Ghost_DK "air doctrines will be replaced in first release. Land and Naval most likely in 2nd release."

From ME - this has not been released yet ! Otherwise get us a copy ! Please use the term "revision" which indicates its different but not released.
Calling something a release indicates it has been RELEASED !
If im wrong please provide the download location. {rant mode off}

Sorry, would you prefer version 0.1 and 0.2? That is most likely what they will be known as.

On the other hand, we could call them "First not yet released" and "some other stuff which is going to happen after the First not yet released." I am not sure if the term revision is accurate because how can you revise something that haven't been created yet? :wacko:

Enjoy. MDow

[unmerged(46637)]

I'm just wondering, do you think you'll be able to churn this beautiful butter out before the new year?
