HOI4 Waking the Tiger and 1.5 Cornflakes Patchlog

Does anyone know what/who he is referring too?

yes

 

[Broletariat90]

I quoted the line, but it was my first post, so anything is possible. The line is this:

"- Took into account recently-revealed CIA data regarding certain high-profile country leaders featured in the game."

Oh I meant as in what they were referring to in the patch notes.

 

[Wraith11B]

- Now convoys transporting units

... what?

- Austria is now slightly less likely to go fascist.

Austria was rather fascist from the beginning, in their own way... so why wouldn't Austria go fascist?

podcat is a comedian at heart , his patch notes tend to have Easter eggs

Scrolled through the log but didn't find it; any changes on the ridiculous spam of naval vs air combat icons? They completely cover smaller regions in seconds and if you right click the icon on the top row enough times to remove them, it stops working forcing you to remove them one by one. I really don't care about naval "battles" where a plane did 9% damage on a destroyer or sunk a single convoy ship.

 

[BernardoAZ]

- Its now possible to prioritize what your strategic bombers target (makes those target smore likely to be hit)

I can just imagine Graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate raining down from the sky. If we cannot kill them, at least make them obese.

Maybe this is an "easter egg" feature of the air supply function. Rather than fuel and ammunition, you can choose to send smores to your surrounded troops.

Ah, the last-ditch American strategy, everyone! You will churn the enemy's factories to rubble, and build fast food restaurants in their place!

 

[Karbinder]

- Overhauled and expanded German focus tree: added new focuses for the Industrial, Air, Naval, and Fascist paths, and improved certain existing ones.

VERY SUPER-DUPER IMPORTANT QUESTION:

Does the Anti-Soviet Pact focus for Germany still require a land border?

I never really understood how you could get a land border with them either.

The Austro-fascist Vaterländische Front is represented in-game as non-Aligned to contrast with the Austrian Nazi Party which is fascist in-game. Now I think the VF should be fascist because a.) the ideology for a party that wants to annex its own country doesn't really matter, and b.) Italy is far more likely to puppet Austria than Germany, but that's its whole own problem.

Impressive list of AI changes. Did the AI learn how to use the withdraw feature since this week? I could not make that up from the text. It would help the AI alot i think while at the same time save player micro.

 

[Leutnant Walker]

Okay....

I know I’m a bit late but if you decide to release a patch in the future, I think Von Falkenhausen should be added to the German pool of generals after you successfully recall him.

I really liked his portrait, he’s called “Of Falcon’s home” for a start and also I wan’t this to be a face that crushes the Comintern:

I hope you’ll agree that that would be a beautiful thing.

I never really understood how you could get a land border with them either.

iirc, it happens when the Soviets pressure the Baltic states, giving a land-border between East Prussia and what was Lithuania, which usually caves to Soviet pressure and becomes annexed.

not going about whining and moaning

Sick sense of humor considers whining and moaning.

 

[Alliegorical]

Does anyone know what/who he is referring too?

I'm guessing it's a reference to this: http://nationalinterest.org/blog/th...rted-adolf-hitler-survived-world-war-ii-22938

Keep in mind that this was reported to the CIA second-hand, and was never verified. In fact, it almost seems like the top CIA brass just didn't care one way or the other.

 

[billcorr]

- Crazy amount of fixes has been done to ...

Crazy amount of fixes...yay!

the new custom division names system.

Well done!



On a more serious note, thanks to the Paradox team for all the work they put into making HoI4 a better game.

If the icon disappear you can bring it back with the tiny "!" button in the top right corner.

- Took into account recently-revealed CIA data regarding certain high-profile country leaders featured in the game.

I'm very curious about this.

 

[arithon]

Can't wait for the patch and Tiger.

I hope to God the insane division spam issues have been addressed, been a few patches since I played....
