Industry build up

[paranoidsteve]

Industry has been changed, DD next friday....so all speculation is now moot

I really don't think you can ttransform them into "industrial power houses". IIRC, the regions around the nil-river could host not more than 1 factory. The region around Alexandria a little bit more, ofc, since it is tied to the popularity. I also don't think you should be and are able to finish the build up with everything (CF, Dockyards and maybe even some MF / transformation of CF) before the war starts, leaving the colonies with nothing but a few built up factories.

38 factory slots is a lot, not as much as UK proper, but if you combine this with UK thats 238 slots for UK and Egypt, as someone said Egypt was nominally independend, but in this game the UK player has 238 slots + all other slots for the other colonies.
India has 300 million pop, so how many slots did they have? Sure you didn´t have the ingame time to build for all slots a factory. But if you sell enough resources you get free IC from the buyer.
I really hope they get the ballancing done.

On mainland UK they have 162 factory slots, which means that they have roughly 200 slots, excluding national focuses of course. In total germany has has over 200 slots available, but Würtemberg and Oberbayern were cut off in that frame.

Franken, Hessen, Westfalen, Oberschlesien, Moselland and Brandenburg are also missing.

Thats wrong. The UK has about 200 in total including those in the colonies. On mainland UK they have about 162 slots available. I dont really know what you mean with "missing" either. I can clearly see Westfalen, Oberschlesien, Moselland and Brandenburg in that screenshot. All that is cut off is Oberbayern and Würtemberg. The list on the left is irrelevant, the icons on the right are the important ones. India is an seperate country in HoI IV aswell, called the British Raj.

Ah okay thanks for the answer.
With missing i meant the left list. It´s confusing, in this list you have 15 slots for all states and on the map you see as an example Mecklenburg with 3+1/4. 3 is Civilian IC and 1 is the Dockyard i think.

It is the building list. You can have a max of 15 civilian factories working on a single project.

Edit: About the number: For Mecklenburg for example, there are already 3 factories build (Civilian, military, dockyards and/or synthetic oil)
+1 factories currently queued for building.
The 4 is the number of maximum number of factories possible in this province. (This number depends on population in this province, infrastructure and tech level)

Making north-africa important? Egypt is already important cause of suez, control of shipping, naval base at alexandria, capability to threaten the middle east. Libia is one big brigdehead for the italians. French north africa could be a bit more important, besides just being one big buffer zone

Lots nice little stuff here.

Thanks for the answer. So germany has a estimated total slots of 200 - 220.

France has the possibility to build up the colonies with IC too.
