dissent in 1936scenario patch 1.03 russia

[unmerged(12730)]

Has anyone else noticed that russia starts in 1936 with a daily dissent rate of 0.20/day? That leaves them struggling a long time to get the rising dissent to zero again, maybe a year.
Or is this supposed to be this way?

Can others confirm?

checked that again, still the same in 1.03 and soviets.
also tried starting as germany, then saving and going in as soviets thenby loading the savegame, also +.20 starting penalty.
This really hurts ussr a lot in 1936, as there is not much left of their ics then.

I noticed because i wrote some xtra technology that i can give anti-axis countries like ussr to stand a chance against a human german player. But i did check back with my unmodified version of hoi, so im sure it IS a bug, bug must be hardcoded, as i couldn't find an adjustment for that.

?
I started a 1.02 1936 scenario, and there i even start with 0.30 !! dissent growth!!

Maybe it was done deliberately to encourage the USSR to choose the purge option in order to decrease dissent?

That might be.
Dissent shoots up to around 30-40% in end 1936. 3 events of -10% dissent solve that ...

I just started a 1936 game as Soviets and adjusting the consumer goods slider takes care of the dissent.

Of course it takes care of the dissent, but painfully slow.
If it starts with 0.20 dissent growth you shoot up in dissent very quickly. Even adjusting maximum consumer goods decreases the rate of growth really slow.

First day of the scenario adjust your slider so you have 0% dissent increase.

Well duh The Soviet slider needs to be set correctly at start of the scenario That's prolly the reason of the dissent increase. Just make sure the Consumer Good number is NOT red

You do not understand what i mean:
When i start the scenario as germany and stop it at 0:00 on 1st jan there is a 0.00 dissent growth.
If i do that as soviets i have 0.20 at 1st jan, just as if i had tampered with the cons goods for a long time in the deep reds.
But i have not.
If i start as russia i have 0.20 on jan.1st, then at 1:00 i adjust immediately to max. cons.goods, and it starts changing to a growth of 0.19 0.18 and so on, but painfully slow!
My dissent will shoot up ALTHOUGH i produce as much goods as i can...

Do you remember to leave the slider adjustment screen? If you don't switch to a different screen the adjustment doesn't take effect.

When I was testing this I forgot to do that and wondered why I was still getting 0.2 dissent on Jan2, but as soon as I went to the tech screen and back, then dissent went to zero.
