industrial capacity penalties

[unmerged(246810)]

how come your IC lowers sometimes when at war and says u get like a -20% penalty for being at war? and also i played as spain in ww1 took france from behind annexed them and i dont get to use their ic, like it doesnt even show on my base ic ??? bug or am i doing somthing wrong??

1) There is a wartime IC penalty, I think the Mobilization level influences this (can't remember how)
2) Probably most of the IC of France has been destroyed during the fight, wait a few months and your base IC should raise while french industries are repaired. Let me know if it's correct.

yes im aware that it should ( there wasnt really a fight coz they were too busy with germany , and its france so they tried to surrender frequently) but i reboult it and played it for 7 years longer and nothing , the base ic of say paris is 10 and ive manually added most of it and i should have well over 100 base IC and it only shows 57 with 28 available? a also have a diVIsion in every french province controlling revolts

Edit : and thanx for the first answer

Can you post a savegame? It is indeed very strange.

im a noob lol , how do i do that?

Based on what background should there be a wartime IC penalty? War is the only occasion where a nation, its industry and its people really work together at once with united strength, the IC should be at the maximum in that time.

yeh i agree but i understend y like i used to play as usa in AOD and declare ware on some shitty chinease state to stimulate my industry in 36 rather than 40 + which gave me an epic advantage

Yeah ok, but what if you play Germany for example. After september 39 you are supposed to play through the entire game with lowered IC? How stupid is that?

 

[ewphoenix123]

the effect is not the same for each country.

well germany wasnt a very united nation in reality as an austrian u should be aware of that. after they lost the battle of britan their industry declined anyway

I don't have the game yet - waiting for D2D - but I'm guessing IC would drop after mobilisation because that rips manpower out of your factories and into uniforms. I'd also guess that it would then recover over time (probably via event) as new production systems are developed and new sources of manpower are tapped.

Not true.

Despite the begin of the strategic bombing in late 1943, Germany reached a maximum in production in 1944.

You can easily check this at looking at production numbers of eg. tanks and airplanes.

That's mostly the effect of Speer I think. In DH, he has a personalized trait with some good bonuses I think.

 

[Brucesim2003]

The mobilization level of a country has it's own effect on IC (f.e. general mobilization is 5%). However as Germany I'm getting hit by a "wartime" penalty of 20%! After consumer goods (increased to get rid if the mobilisation dissent), production, supplies and replacements, I've got nothing for upgrades. Suddenly losing 40 IC certainly makes ones eyes water.
