Get rid of Old Guards

unmerged(50533) · Dec 6, 2005

Hey guys

Just wondering, since i saw this in other threads, there is an event available where Old guards and FMs would be removed from Ger. 36 campaign. Wonder if someone can provide a link?

thanks!

Try my own variation of the event. It takes care not only of the most old guards (some of the useful ones are left behind, trust me, they're good) but it also eliminates all the 1point-level generals no one uses (not even for garrisons). By 1940, you'll have a lot of promoted FMs, generals and lieutenant-generals...

Wow... thanks a lot man, im just wonderin, where should i put this code? in the germany event file or the hoi2.txt?

looks very useful!

mib · Dec 7, 2005

It's from Hallsten!

Alexandru H. · Dec 7, 2005

The idea is from Hallsten, but you can see that his leader list is smaller, as it includes only the old-guard generals...

My variation on the theme eliminates even more useless generals you won't ever use in HoI2, liberating the way for better promotions (having at January 1st 1940 a fieldmarschall like Manstein is great).

And yes, put it in germany.txt....

Hardly Real

Getting rid of the Old Guard generals is hardly a true story -- and that of course was half the problem with them not accepting the new style of warfare -- many were boofheads that wanted to fight WWII just like "we did it in WWI".

If you really are desperate to get rid of them you should apply the 'fade away' software coding to them, after all:

"old generals never die, they just fade away" -- Gen Douglas MacArthur.

But since we have the ability to freely choose leaders without regard for politics, etc. and know their exact abilities few experienced players will ever use those leaders so we may as well have the ability to remove them from the list to reduce clutter.

Good Point

Well, you are right -- I only use the Old Guard as a last resort -- my perspective is more from an MP view -- if you tinker with the program in any way then the checksum will be different -- thereby locking you out from the MP gamers unless they have exactly the same mods....

Cheers
