GDE for Armageddon

[unmerged(71399)]

One question, it seems that GDE for Russian Empire remain soviet one, cuz you have to overwhelm completely even weaken opponent to be victorious. So, doest it standart for everyone or SOV-like?
And by the way - where can you see that in file text for Armageddon scenario?

You could always check the stats in the tech screen. It shows how your GDE is at the moment.

edit: Checked it. Its true EoR has a GDE of 20% while it should be 80%

Hopefully this is in time for patch 1.1

Tnx for checking. Where can you mod that by the way?

 

[bubbelties]

open H:\Games\HoI2 DD\scenarios\PreGlobalWar or globalwar
Open soviet.inc

search for this line "ground_def_eff = 0.200"
and change it into "ground_def_eff = 0.800"

No wonder they got pwned by Cossacks and Sweden!

....really? Wow, Armageddon alt scenarios are broken in so many ways it's not even funny any more.

Seriously, happened in my game too, I just kept thinking "Boy, the Czars fold like a deck of cards... in ANY era!"

It all depends on what the Armageddon Scenario is for Russia. If it is still a monolithic empire that uses untrained and poorly educated peasants led by untrained party or noble hangers-on, then yes, it will still have a justifiably low GDE. If it is a highly industrialised meritocracy with highly educated masses then the GDE is not justified.

No doubt it is just forgotten, a GDE of 0.2 with no other things to compensate is not intended, I think.

It is meant to be a fantasy scenario with equal powers, ideal for a MP battle royal...it's certainly not WAD ("Oh, PLEASE, let me take Russia, I like to be spanked black and blue!"). There is already Tannu Tuva for the "joke" faction.

Fair point.

now you lost me - this should be a total fantasy scenario - and have nothing to do with Stalins way during the 30's and 40's ...

There ARE Stalin as minister, and Russian Empire starts with Standing/drafted army slider set in the middle and even by real historical view Empire's army was not even close to "uneducated mob of peasants".
Funny how such stereotype is still present.
By the way, in Tech Teams there are two options for Russia - Russian Empire UER(used for Armageddon) and RUS - any Ideas what is that RUS for?

Its for the revolter in regular campaigns.
