What is the purpose of the "Energy to Oil Conversion" event decision if one can already control this conversion from the Production Screen conversion slider?

Did I miss something that makes this event necessary?

Ummm, oops! It does have an effect.

When presented with the option this last time, I chose "It is not necessary".

Boy was I wrong. Even though my slider is maxed at at 8.2 IC, my oil conversion dropped from 9.0 per day to 0.9 per day. And it doesn't make a difference where my slider is set at now, 0 or 8.2; the daily conversion amount stays at 0.9!

Really, what is the point of adding this event if it just overrides the sliders for those playing over AoD? Kinda f*'d up if you ask me.

I agree. If these events are related to ARMA, they should be deactivited for AoD version.

I started my first Iron Cross/Arma game last night. I am playing the Soviet Union and have a problem just after one day of game play:

I am generating a negative production of energy of a daily -1.400! It'd be a positive balance if there wasn't such a high amount of energy converted. At the moment I spend 1.200 energy that is converted to 2.2 oil!?!

What can be done?

Thanks in advance!

In the productionmenu there's a slider for energy-oilconversion. It's set to max when you start the game, always remember to change it or you will run out of energy the first week.

I read about that slider before, but I can't find any. Am I blind? :confused:
Remember: I am playing the Arma not the AoD version.


edit: IC setup -> deactivate energy-oil conversion. Now I'm fine.
