CORE2 version 0.4.0 - now available for download

[Gil galad]

Playing as Britain for a few months yesterday I was really impressed. Though all the attachements take getting used to. I have always used core so I am not familliar with all the ARM attachements.

No CTD's yet. Good job and thanks for all the hard work!

I'm still annoying you guys...
I'm playing Britain, it's april 1940, Germany still didn't attack France and USA dows them... it's kind of annoying for me and my plans!
If IRC early USA dowing was a problem that the developer were facing during optimization... so is there something I can do to avoid this annoying episode? I've tried to reload lots of times thinking that maybe it was only something random, but everytime US dows GER before june 1940...

Thanks in advance and thanks for the great mod!

Have you done anything unusual, etc ? It's hard to say why things have gone as you describe without knowing some background.

Umm... no, I didn't.
Started the game with UK, and pretty much I was focusing my attention on research in order a) to figure out all the tech three and b) to try to not fall back too much on certain fields.
When events poped out i always went with the histocial choice. Nothing strange happened in the rest of the world, i think: Austria and Ceckoslovachia (spell?) events worked in the historical way...
The only odd thing I noticed was that Italy dowed Albania really late, in march 1940 or a little earlier can't remember now.

That's it, pretty much.

Hi guys,

Up to 38 now (no CTDs so far) and I have another question:

I like attaching Cavalry (later Motorcycle) batallions to my regular Inf. As soon as I research the 37 Scout tech I can still build the motorcycle attachment separately, but in the division building screen I can only select the Armored car attachment.

Is there any way to circumvent this issue?

The game refers to the attachment as "Armoured Cars", but in CORE, they are used for the recon style elements - this includes the cavalry/motorcycle attachments early on. So you should tick that box when trying to build units with the attachment already in place. Remember that the game will attach the latest model of the relevant attachment, and that "early" recon models do not upgrade to the later armoured recon models.

2 CTDs, June-July 1940 post-Vichy. I understand this is a known problem that can be fixed with reloading?

Yes - might take a few tries. If you have a save game from just beforehand, it could well be worth posting it at our Mantis bug tracking site. We suspect it is an event somewhere, on which one event choice causes the crash, but the other lets things run ok.

the ctd was fine after reloading...

a question... no MR pact? just curious...

no german claims on luxembourg?

excellent mod, very innovative

I'm on my second new game and I still get the post Vichy CTD. Reloading DOES NOT help (and i've reloaded nearly a dozen times....)

PS: And yes I uploaded the save game and sent it to Hagar!!

 

[dublish]

Saved post-Vichy, reloaded and didn't have any problems with a CTD.

Methinks you're doing it wrong. I had no problems with the MR pact.

You get claims by event within a week or two after taking it.

 

[panzer_general]

well, reloading worked for me...

3 games no MR pact... ill try again tonight.

 

[Windmolen]

I also didn't have any problems with the MR pact.

Pretty normal if you're used to 'plain' Vanilla. In Vanilla you can research everything, especially if you have high research teams like Germany. Heck, usually I manage to run out of things to research, and am forced to research techs 2 or three years ahead of schedule at severe penalty.
In CORE however you just simply can't do so, with probably the US being the most able nation in terms of research - especially after joining the Allies and sharing blueprints. But usually you have to choose in which areas you want to be strong, and in which areas you'll be weakened as a result. You can go ahistorical, like researching CVs in the case of Germany, but you will find your teams missing skills in that area. So if you do so you will pay a penalty in lengthened research time (and thus clogging up your research slot longer). Right now I'm having a shot at the USSR, and haven't researched any naval techs at all, opting instead to infantry, armor, air, air doctrine and especially land doctrines. The latter I'm researching often with ill-suited tech teams, so I'm paying a price here. In reality the USSR did some naval research, albeit not too much, at the time. So my progress by-and-large seems pretty much to be in line with reality.
You'll get used to the tech setup after a couple of games. Usually once you cross that bridge Vanilla will surely lose it's appeal, as it will feel 'bland' after experiencing CORE... I know I feel that way after a few bouts of CORE 0.1 (in my pre-Betatester days).

Hi,

We haven't done a lot of adjustments to the MR Pact events. The main change is that if you have already managed to get GER to Full Mobilization the event will not fire. Otherwise the Trigger is looking at very simple stuff like POL & SOV existing.

When I try to release Iceland as Germany, this happens.

One for Dec to answer, I presume. I can imagine it being unnoticed in the Beta testing - not many players will release Iceland playing as Germany. But it certainly looks like a bug.

This is a vanilla patch problem, described and fixed here:

Ok, some thoughts on my game so far (GER in July '40, just after Vichy):

- love the tech tree, love the simplification of naval attachments - great stuff!
- MP was a problem for me until about the Anschluss - which probably is WAD
- coming from TRP, France felt almost too easy - so I'm really looking forward to the SU...
- what I like is the comparative difficulty of Sealion, as I've simply not come around to building enough transports yet...

- the one (minor) gripe I have is also about Transports: Their org just seems way too low. While doing Weserübung, I've twice had troops retreat from the beaches (once at Oslo, once at Narvik) while they were winning - because the transports had to reorg. That is annoying, unrealistic and should really not happen, at least IMO.

Other than that: Great work guys!
