looks great, but it starts to look more like an extremely good designed and complexe "Risk", less like hearts of iron, imo
but im probably wrong, keep it up! and make it as complexe as possible, in order to make it more realistic :)

The amount WT increases will be affected by what type of CB you have, but I'd wonder if it would also be weighted by the relative size of the combatants. Simply put- everyone's going to care a lot more if Germany or SU decide to go to war with one of their neighbors than, say, Paraguay and Bolivia going to war with each other (no offense to the Paraguayans or Bolivians here).

Has anybody noticed the two pictures of cats in the upper right?
Probably just a placeholder graphic for something that was just recently added (or enabled) and they haven't finalized the graphics. Sometimes for other games you would see something in a ghastly pink/yellow color that is used to represent something that has been coded but the graphics hadn't been added yet...this is probably something like that.

They are national dog doctrines. These dogtrines control such things as whether to allow cats in the country.

Just wondering: if poland would have danzig to germany will war be avoided?

In the game? I suspect- since it is a game centered around the idea of WW2 and all the ideas and tech and people that- that it will delay it. I mean maybe if you are playing Germany, you get Danzig, and somehow neither Italy or Japan's AI do anything else, and somehow maybe even USSR and the Allies AIs also sit still- maybe once in every couple hundred gameplays you could just set the clock to move as fast as possible and everything will just stay as-is?

But I suspect one of the design goals of World Tension is that by the time the game hits Danzig or War, you're on the absolute edge of everyone (well, except the US) going to war. And if Poland cedes Danzig, there will be further decisions or events as backup to trigger it. Maybe Japan decides to demand the Dutch East Indies or Indochina? Or Russia decides to take the Baltics? Or Italy pushes into Greece? All things that happened after the war started in the usual timeline, but were clearly interests of those nations before it began.

Nope, I had in mind in real life :)
