France and UK fail to declare war (patch 10 Iron cross over DH)

[slategrey252]

loaded patch 10. started a new game.

Invaded poland on september 1st. Cleaned thier clocks by 28th

However by march 1940 France and UK had failed to declare war on me.

Sooo I declared on them.

Is this meant to happen as its never happened to me before.

 

[slategrey252]

I tried the 1939 scenario and aug 30th i declared war on poland, and sure enough england and france declare war on me. Ok.

So it must be something im doing that breaks the A.I?

Before 1939 I form alliances with portugal, spain, hungary, bulgaria and turkey(turkey takes a lot of convincing)

Apart from that I dont do anything outlandish. I build factories and certain long build units til 1937 and then get busy churning out combat units.

I'll start a 1933 scenario again and see if I get a repeat

 

[slategrey252]

same scenario, same moves, same problem

 

[slategrey252]

Nope. France and Britain still fail to declare war. 8 play throughs. 8 times I have to declare war as germany.

So, what seems to be the problem here?

 

[slategrey252]

The problem is, pre patch 10 when you invade poland, france and britain declare war on germany. In Patch 10 they don't.

 

[slategrey252]

seriously? No one else?

Hi

I found a strange problem with DH. In DH, Pol can't ally with ENG via event. I will add an event to fix the problem

 

[slategrey252]

Thanks Quintelosky.

Thanks!

Can we please have the text of the event when it is created, so we can add it to the proper events file?

Use this emergency events.

event = {
id = 918501
random = no
country = ENG

trigger = {
NOT = {
exists = POL
war = { country = ENG country = GER }
}
}

name = "WW2"
desc = "The War"
style = 0
# picture = "Danzig_2"

date = { day = 1 month = june year = 1938 }
offset = 10
deathdate = { day = 15 month = june year = 1945 }


action_a = {
name = "The War"
command = { type = war which = GER }
command = { type = dissent value = -5 }
}
}

event = {
id = 918502
random = no
country = FRA

trigger = {
NOT = {
exists = POL
war = { country = FRA country = GER }
}
}

name = "WW2"
desc = "The War"
style = 0
# picture = "Danzig_2"

date = { day = 1 month = june year = 1938 }
offset = 10
deathdate = { day = 15 month = june year = 1945 }


action_a = {
name = "The War"
command = { type = war which = GER }
command = { type = dissent value = -5 }
}
}
