And more updates from my Italy game (up to Sep 1941):
1) Finland goes for Continuation War (event fired twice for some reason), the text is messed up (something like continuation_war_desc) and they get steamrolled faster than Luxembourg. Before the Germans get halfway to Leningrad, the Finns are annexed and invited to join as the newest Soviet Social Republic. SU AI still is placing way way to much troops on the Finnish Front.
2) The global resource shortage is getting worse, I've loaded up as the UK and see that they have 4000 steel left, which will last them for about two months, this is good news. They have and are building plenty of convoys and escorts, also cool. Loading up as GER, I see that they have about three weeks left of Rares, not very cool. They've installed the Resource industrialist Minister, but all occupation policy is on Collaboration Government so far. I am very curious if the AI will figure out it needs to change this to something a little more coercive to squeeze more resources out of occupied lands.
3) Nerf Support our Party. The UK is being led by Oswald Mosley and his Nordic League is at around 60-70% popularity/org. Not that this affects gameplay in any way (apart from Minister choices), since the UK is still in the War.
4) Regarding Resources, even my Axis buddies that have +15 surplus of something (I need Energy and Metal) refuse to trade with me, what gives?
5) 3 BBs, 2CA, 3CL and 4DDs (all out of date starter units) run into a single Brit DD exchange fire for a few hours and the Brit DD limps away, alive with 30% STR left. Could use a little tweaking.
Apart from that, the game runs smoothly, no CTD, supply makes sense, air combat makes a lot more sense, everything feels better and more polished. Can't wait for DDs goodies.
