I just got back to this game and i need help with it

[RiseOrDie]

I've been playing DH for the past few months, good game, amazing map but its missing a lot of the things that I enjoyed in AOD+IC

Anyway I just reinstalled AOD and IC with latest updates.

I have a few questions because i am so used to playing DH now

1. Airforce - In DH it plays a major role in the gameplay, how is it in IC and what do I need to build as germany 1933 scenario, i know interceptors and fighters are very important but do i need a lot of CAS and TAC for ground attack?

2. Army - How should I organise my armies since there are more provinces? eg group then in 1s mainly or 3s or 9s? how many divisions should I have by 1939 as germany? should i build garrisons?

3. tech tree - I love the tech tree, but it doesnt say the historical year or am i wrong? if it doesnt say the year for research then how do i go about knowing that i'm not delaying or going way ahead?

4. events - I know there are events for the aunschluss, invasion of poland, but are there events for fall gelb or operation barbarossa or do i need to trigger them myself? what about invasion of norway and many other events in DH are they now in IC or AOD since the new updates?

5. DH + IC - If I install this game with DH would I get the IC map or what? what about the stats for losses?

btw I Installed AOD, Installed patch, then copied to new folder, Installed IC, installed new patch... the IC patch doesnt overwrite the AOD update does it?

I always did very well with just INF+SART without any air support.

2. Army - How should I organise my armies since there are more provinces? eg group then in 1s mainly or 3s or 9s? how many divisions should I have by 1939 as germany? should i build garrisons?

I organized my INF in 3s, my ARM in 1s. As long as you are attacking, there is no change, though bottlenecks you need to defend you need fortresses since the AI can pile on more troops.

3. tech tree - I love the tech tree, but it doesnt say the historical year or am i wrong? if it doesnt say the year for research then how do i go about knowing that i'm not delaying or going way ahead?

You do not. Every tech has a + or - as Research efficiency goes: The more you research the faster you get. As a benchmark you can check in the intelligence tab for enemies or allies.

4. events - I know there are events for the aunschluss, invasion of poland, but are there events for fall gelb or operation barbarossa or do i need to trigger them myself? what about invasion of norway and many other events in DH are they now in IC or AOD since the new updates?

They just happen toi you.

You get the IC map.
