350k + 50k + 900k + 900k = 2.2M more pop maybe
if he went throught with all the suggestions wich are historically based and make sense
2.2 million more core pop when playing a facist historical hungary seems very relevant to me, also more building slots maybe.

Considering you get most stuff only later on, it seems fair as hunagry always seemed overly weak to me in hoi4 as an ally.

Kinda happy with this , i played a mp game where someone told me to not pick hungary because its better if they get annxed by someone else in the axis.
what bullshit


i always loved the idea of a germany and hungary coop game :3

The "Appeal to Imperial Loyalists" focus currently can only be bypassed if the dominions stayed with Britain or they were re-puppeted. Could you make it so that the focus is also bypassable if the dominions were annexed by Britain?
 
Working late I'm sure, due to the guilt they all have from the hotel bar tabs they rang up last week :)

RIP Kongo fix, but nice work @Andy Gainey and Paradox. Looking good!

Not my Beta Branch :( Is it slow? I even resubbed to the beta but it's still 2bbd (or whatever the previous one was).

Edit: I made an oopsie. it's there now. Now it's there.

My post was not meant to be overly critical. But the non-Axis derping away the game is very frustrating.

Maybe something as simple as making unit default to be to NOT move and then have to have some game event to trigger a move would help non-Axis. It's actually really easy to hold off Japan as player China; just stand there and make them fight for every territory. But the AI is losing super fast.

I know. And as a new player to the game, seeing this immediately over and over and over again has me so frustrated. I’ve been waiting years to play this and finally thought it was time to dig in, that the game would be mature and balanced. Instead I’m just amazed at how messed up some of it is. AI is hard, but that’s why you have scripting to fix some general AI holes.

Equally crazy is setting up a frontlines then watching your defenders immediately lose all of their entrenchment by moving. For a new player you’re given these tools to manage your war, then they actively work against you? I only expected to find major problems once I’d played the game for months, not the first week. The game has been out for 3 years come June. I realize MtG is new and I have everything so I don’t know how things were pre-patch, but I get the impression a lot of these issues have been around a long time.
 
Found a bug playing Mandschuko and get Focus Assertiveness. You get a report over Communist threat defeated every week or even more often -- with no effect.
Also in Events & Decisions the decision Communist Infiltration -- Anti-Communist Sweep has no effect and no description.
Also it would be nice if Mandschuko gets one more political advisor for installing all 3 minister posts without focus obefience -- invite Japanese Investors. Ministers for changing ideologie for example.... or it would be nice to get a focus going neutral if you chose the way to mandate of heaven
