Germany not suffering from lack of oil?

[Colonel Stinkmeaner]

Finished up my first game as Germany when I reached Cold War with the US (lots of savescumming), so I figured I'd try the Soviet Union for my second game. I remembered desperately bargaining to get enough oil to finish Barbarossa in my Germany game, but the AI has let itself reach 0 oil in a month. Yet, somehow, none of Germany's units are experiencing the "Lack of Fuel" debuff. Why is this and how can I make it happen?

Well, AI cheats.

Germany doesn't lack anything in this game, unfortunately. They need a serious nerf. I've never seen them lose without my direct intervention.

I recommend you to play Edge of Darkness mod, where Germany is nerfed, and doesn't beat Soviets in 1941.

Edge of Darkness is too bloated for my taste. I wish people made mods that rebalance things without adding hundreds of other stuff. But in this case, the base game should just be fixed. The industrial capacity of Germany relative to the USSR is just way too huge.

So, maybe switch to Germany and use a dissent command on them?

Doesnt work either. As soon as you switch back, the AI suffers from no CG necessity. It certainly can slow them down for a bit of critical time, but it wont destroy them.

Also, try TRP, its a good mod and makes the game far more challenging (as in Germany actually suffers from oil deficits)
