Don't you love it

When you put a lot of time into playing a game, only to have it ruined by Chanel Island Superstacks? :wacko:

It's been said before, logistical bomb the H out of it, they will wither on the vine. Port strikes don't hurt either.

 

[Alfred Packer]

There's also a few ways to stop channel island stacks from ocurring (ie: delete the land bridge or the port or both)

 

[Forster]

But that takes the fun out of destroying all of those units.

Sure, the superstack is helpful if you're Germany. What if you're not?

I don't think that he was asking about how to destroy them.
I think he meant that something like this is a gamebraking bug. And it is :wacko:

That's why we do something else while waiting for 1.4 which will come very soon, like in 7 days
Till that time you can go skiing for instance, and enjoy winter.

I mean no offense, but I don't believe you.

 

[Traks]

Hey, those 7 days come from official person posts. So I do believe them.

can you give me a link where that has been said? I havent seen it. But would be imeansly great news.

Thee is a very easy 2 second fix for this. Just edit the file to remove the land bridge and it never happens.

Like I said I meant no offense. It seams I missed the official post . It is still good news. For me, even if they release it in march it will still be good news. I just hope they will make a good patch. That is all I want, a good playable HoI3.

Not really the solution. Be doing this you make sore they don't do a superstack there, but USA will probably do one in Washington DC anyway, so not much of a solution. Lets hope that 1.4 will fix this.

 

[Traks]

Phew. I found it randomly, now it took 15 minutes of searching.
5th post:

But I would bet that not before 20th, so let's just wait for official statement on 1.4 betatest.

Combine it with edit of lua file to reduce or elimate stacking penalty. Should do until the next patch shows up.

The channel islands is only one instance of a much larger problem that causes the AI to senselessly pile its entire army into one province. You see the same thing in DC. I assume it also must happen for a lot of other AI nations depending on the situation. It isn't just a quick fix, but it is something that 1.4 is going to fix according to the developers.

Nikolai II didn't explicitly state that the patch would be ready by then, if you read it in context he is only stating that this is probably the soonest we will get an update on the status of the patch - that update will not necessarily be the patch itself

@Traks

You're really clutching at straws if you think that 1.4 will be out this month, never mind next week.

I wish it was going to be. But there's no way. We wait.....

do you mind explaining in 2 seconds how you "just" do that?

Superstacks happen not only in Channel Island. Let's take Maginot line where in my game German AI sits around 5 provinces with superstacks in France for 6 years. Would you edit the file and remove the land bridge to Millhouse to fix this?

I believe its also 1 of the reasons your Ally's dont pull their weight. They superstack on their border then dont attack anything because of the penalty (Hungary for example).
