@Darkrenown while you are here...

1. Does the "Faction leader" decide who gets what part of conquered land or do i have to create my "wishes"?
2. Can i start a "Freedom" Faction as f.ex. Croatia while still beeing part of Yugoslavia? (Same goes for REP/NAT Spain)
3. Can i be in more then one Faction?

A few cases of people just landing troops on/walking through to important but undefended places it seems (Rome, Leningrad, Warsaw).
Is this more of a problem with (inexperienced) players leaving these undefended or AI not optimizing defensive orders right now?

Those are all player controlled countries. Little concerned with the frequency that it is happening at though, you'd think they might learn a little between the two games.

Also, seems AI Hungary has annexed Turkey and Romania, both from players, as well as half of Yugoslavia. I think that says more about the players than the state of the AI though

1. Gotta wait on a DD for peace details
2. No, nations don't exist until they are on the map.
3. Nope.

That one was a peace bug where ai could grab more than it should have

Wait. So is the game actually in an approved alpha? Or is still in "alpha"?

Next DD will answere that question.

It is too high, the actual reason for this is just that the Rhineland reaction event allows France to declare war with no CB, which gives super high WT - especially between two pretty strong nations. It's just the game being alpha and not having all the pieces in the right places yet.

I am a bit confused. I would assume remilitarizing the Rhineland is a causus belli.
In any case, I'm not concerned at all with balancing, that's something that will improve later.

For the moment the game sounds (I wish I could say "looks" ) very interesting.

So if the event gave France a CB that is used to declare war it would be fine? Is "breaking treaty agreements" a CB?

I assume they didn't create the remilitarization of the Rheinland as a temporary CB. Why temporary you might ask? Well, I don't think the remilitarization should be a long term CB, France should have to react right there and then, not after preparing for another year or something. So the CB should simply exist as long as the player did not click one of the options on the event-popup, so to speak.

All I have to say to this is thank you guys for working so hard on this game. I can't wait

If the game is stable and ready for a large MP game with press, beta must be close!

From my understanding accepted alpha means the same thing as start of beta so it may be close, yes.

Before beta comes alpha. We are not in alpha yet.

Yeah, it was just using the wrong World Tension modifier. France declaring on Germany for re-militarizing is a completely justified war, not a no-CB war. The PDS people could tell right away that it wasn't the right number.

We are in alpha, what is lacking is an alpha candiate that will go into beta, the so called approved alpha.

 

[safe-keeper]

Quill18's latest tweets confirm the game is going wildly ahistorical because it's a 20 player MP game.

 

[Gamer_1745]

People remember for those who are thinking it is almost in Beta (and it maybe) so it will likely be released in nearly 3 months, the HOI IV team is going to take the month of July off. So even if it is nearly Beta it is still likely 4 or 5 months away.

Alpha Confirmed.

I'm concerned that air power is being over modeled. It's a debate EVEN TODAY if air power alone is capable of winning a war.
