japan not surrendering after being nuked twice?

[best75]

I heard in the dev diary Japan will surrender after being nuked twice. Playing as Manchukuo and in my 2nd war against Japan I nuked them twice but they do not surrender. Is there some other requirement i am missing?

Where did you nuke and did the Decision show up in the Decisions list?

Nagasaki and Hiroshima were the first two cities, I nuked them more times including their capital. I don't see any decisions to offer them surrender.

Well those cities would work, so I'm guessing it was probably too late then, the Decision had already ran out. It comes up as nukes are first introduced and lasts a few years, but if they don't get nuked within that timeline it's too late and you will have to do it the good old fashioned way and land there. Sorry.

EDIT: It's automatic, you don't have to click anything to make it so. The Decision just shows up so you know it is something that can now happen.

I did it about 50 days before the decision ended and it didn't happen for me either

It works,but u have to control Iwo Jima and Okinawa so that the AI takes the Decision and surrenders.

I nuked them in early 1946, surely that is soon enough?

Didn't know that so I will try taking those islands

It worked, shortly after capturing those 2 islands Japan surrendered and I got the peace conference

Here's a related question: in MP shouldn't it be nearly impossible to trigger the event?
The Allies need air superiority over mainland Japan.
It should be easy to deny that as the Japanese player. You only need to plaster Japan with full radar, AA and enough fighters. You will have a drastic efficiency advantage, no?

In MP it doesnt matter because the total capitulation of japan is a decision,what Japan has to choose to trigger the event.
If Japan is a human Player he should be able to ignore the Decision and fight further.
I think that´s how it works anyway.
This Mechanic was just added for the Singleplayer so u dont have to march cross Asia and land in Japan. At least it´s how i see this.

Hope i helped. If i am wrong,happy if somebody corrects me.
