I started a new game playing as Germany again.
Good to know:
Normal/Aggressive
Armageddon with hotfix
Full IC take over
1. The game starts:
2. I build air defence and plenty of infantary. I build no industries at all except in Berlin.
3. Nationalist spain lose as usual, even if they started with Madrid and Barcelona and had trapped 4 nationalist troops in north of Spain.
4. Japan declare war on China and they have problem to break Chinas's defende.
5. I annex Austria.
6. checoslovakia gives Studet and those other well defended provinces.
7. I want to split checoslovakia with Hungary, but then checoslovakia decides to start a war against me and the WW2 starts in April 1939
8. I annex checoslovakia.
9. I annex Poland.
10. I annex Denmark
11. I annex Luxemburg, take Netherlands and Belgium provinces
12. I annex France. (It's still not even august 1939).
13. I declare war on Spain and send my best armor troops to take care of them while my infantaries start to defend the Soviet boarder.
14. Soviet declares war on me (Fall 1939)
15. I annex Spain
16. Bulgaria, Romania, Portugal, Italy and Yugoslavia joins my alliance.
17. Greece declare war on Soviet.
18. I declare war on Greece. (Evil, now Greece joins the allies and the allies declare war on Soviet, which doesn't matter much because they don't have any boarders).
19. I annex Greece
20. Turkey declare war on Iraq
21. A lot of strange countries declare on Iraq as well.
22. Turkey annexes Iraq.
23. I break the Soviet army totally and marsh as fast as I can toward Sibiria. I have Stalingrad, Moscow, Leningrad and Novasibirsk and pretty much all their important provinces. They still don't give me bitter piece.
24. Soviet finally gives me bitter peace, which I don't want anylonger because I am almost saying hello to the Japanese (who aren't my allies yet).
25. I accept bitter peace and decleare war on Turkey and helps Italy grow a bit so they can get their 5th research team.
26. Japan joins my alliance and they annex Phillipins and takes India from England.
27. Japan let the American join the war as enemy to us.
28. I invade England.
29. Italy just suck
The year is now 1943.
I have over 600IC and I don't want to pump out armours and run out of resources like I did last time, so I basically building infrastructure, anti air, rocket test sites, nuclear plants and expensive airplanes and ships.
Japan has over 200 IC. They did bad against China at first but then they just marched all the way to Iran. They also annexed Tibet (I declared war on them).
Italy has over 100 IC. But after awhile, they only got 69 IC and a few months later they were down to 13 IC!
I canceled all my trades with Italy and they went up to 103 IC again.
Japan still have over 200 IC, but I think they still have a lot of resources left.
Germany has enourmous amount of goods but need rare materials extremly much to keep the industries running. I guess the AI keeps asking for rare materials from Italy and Japan.
The trade is supposed to be made after all resources has been used, but that is apperently not the case. The AI gives away their rare materials and then the industries tries to take what is left (which is 0!)
I think even with no resources at all, the industries should atleast work at 1/3 effieciency. Have 2/3 of the worker run around collect scrap or something. It can't be that impossible to get hold of metal, coal, energy and whatever rare materials are.
Japan are still doing good when it comes to production, but I will watch them while I continue this game.
One other problem is that USA has 160+ troops on an island and Japan has equally many troops on the island next to it. 320 troops, isn't that more than 3 million people? Those tiny islands must be very croweded.
I wish Japan could atleast send 1 infantary division to finish of the dutch, french and englishmen. They only have a few island left with victory points.
While I'm at it. There is one very annoying thing when Germany tries to help Italy conquer Africa. If I walk from Italian controlled province into english controlled province, then Italy gets the land (good, the way I want it). But if I walk from Italian controlled province into an other Italian province which is occupied by England, then the province turns grey (controlled by germany). Why!!? It's really annoying. I don't want Africa. Let the Italians have all their 2 industries and 10 resources. In either case, why isn't the land turned Green? We're fighting on the same side anyway. Maybe Africa could have some more resources to make to make it interesting to invade?
