Development of AoD 1.12

[MJF]

Thus the change by set 18.



Well, the change by set 18 only applies while those 2 provinces are still controlled by the UK so they can become a part of Canada. That is the change. With them being national territory of Canada their loss will trigger US involvement...one needs to start before Sealion. The loss of London will trigger Newfoundland and therefore Labrador to join into Confederation before the historic date.

Well, not yet:

The only edit I do is to change misc.txt to cut the air force rebasing penalty in 1/2. To me that's better than the rebasing "cheat" others use.

Haven't started Barbarossa yet. That's soon. Then No. America.

 

[MJF]

Set 18 is online. Set 18 concludes the overhaul of how the USA reacts to invasions of North America. This is one of the things handsoff games cannot test properly. A human player needs to try invading North America. Feedback from willing tester would help the development of 1.12.

On the way soon.

Well, not yet:

Strange. It should have triggered in the situation your screenshoot indicates.

I suggest you enter "event 4200 eng" into the console to trigger the event manually. That does trigger the transfer.

But it should have triggered within 24 hours of London not being controlled by the UK.

London conquered & liberated. BP triggered. I'm in force in Newfoundland & Labrador -- USA quiet.

What changed is that my transport ships could not reach just offshore from Brest. Not White Bay, not Bonavista Bay, not Bermuda. They could not amphib anything from German-controlled Brest. I had taken iceland & Greenland right after liberating England and taking Great Britain. Iceland went to Scandinavia, but Greenland stayed German. I had to lose 6 weeks rushing a navy base to put in Greenland, or I would've had to attack Portugal.

Nope:

Ran the game for a ouple days later. Done right after BP triggered. No landings by me yet. It didn't work after I landed either.

 

[MJF]

When I attacked -- USA Joins the Allies. Not before. (I had already taken Bermuda).

 

[Pang Bingxun]

Nope:

Now i know the reason. You donnot use set 18. This may be related to the mod manager.

I don't?

So I manually installed 18.7. No change. Starting from BP being triggered. Runnung several days. Lab & Newf still UK. Then I loaded from when I had landed on both in force. No USA war.

You asked for a test. All I could do now is see if I have a save from before I took London.

 

[Pang Bingxun]

For now the important question is whether "event 4200 eng" via console has any effect. If it does not, than you donnot use set 18.

\db\events.txt
       added line event = "db\events\canada.txt"

\db\events\canada.txt
       new file
       4200-4202: new event chain transfers Newfoundland to Canada

Those are the 2 files that matter. If the later file is not there or \db\events.txt does not include the file, than you donnot use set 18.

That mod manager might not work with Aod. That, or ,moving in & then out of Steam folder might have corrupted. After manual install of set 18 (as I said in post #88 above) I then went to my save from Dec 21, '39, when I had taken England and was attacking into Scotland. Nether before or after Independent Eng, did your event trigger. Neither did a console trigger.

What did happen is that all my Germen troops in England proper were auto-redeployed into the "Detention Center" awaiting shipment to Berlin, which is rediculous. That would not happen with a conquered country.

The next rearlier save I have is early Sept '39.

It seems best to leave the steam folder untouched. The sets i do upload in this thread are meant for installations outside of steam. The steam installation itself should only be changed via steam itself.

Now that is a bug.

 

[MJF]

3 separate ground (land) attacks on Worcester?

 

[MJF]

And now 6 separate failing attacks on Albany?

I cleared out the first fail. Zero losses for USA on that one..

 

[Pang Bingxun]

3 separate ground attacks on Worcester?

Ground attack is a term that describes an attack by air units. What you mean is a mere land battle or rather 3 of them at the same time.

I had encountered this bug long ago, but was never able to reproduce it.

Set 19 is online. The emergency trades are now usually limited to 5 supplies per emergency trade.

What did happen is that all my Germen troops in England proper were auto-redeployed into the "Detention Center" awaiting shipment to Berlin, which is rediculous.

The changes to the event chain of "An Independent England" by set 19 are meant to fix this bug. So far however i did not have the opportunity to confirm that it works now as it is supposed to work.

Set 19 may be uploaded to steam in a short while.

In a current testgame i encountered the rare occurrence that the UK not only invades Norway, but also ties up so many german divisions there that Barbarossa does not occur, at least not in the summer of 1941.

It is in set 18 as well:

In my CVL's help SAG's post, that's why I launched Overlord so early. My USA Navy is freezing over 100 Axis divisions in Norway -- Hard/Normal.

EDIT: Without an Allied Navy off Oslo, the Axis forces miraculously redeploy rapidly to the mainland -- with 1-3 transports!?!

 

[Pang Bingxun]

It is in set 18 as well:

And in 1.11 as well. It does not really depend on the version. Still it is a rare occurrence.
