Im just kind of curious what the best method *without introducing communism to russia* is to get the maximum ammount of cores possible?
Just out of curiosity, why is it possible to avoid the Civil War if Long is President? I would have thought that CSA secession would have been automatic on Long's inauguration...
Pretty much. Many American officials at this point IRL praised Mussolini in Italy and such because he represented a "third way between capitalism and socialism" which was... state-managed capitalism. Long was pretty much a Fascist, albeit a significantly more moderate one. FDR actually feared him because although FDR saw Fascism as interesting in its ability to defeat the growing power of the Communists and at economic revival (while taking some cues from Mussolini's Italy), his policies were significantly less 'radical' than Longs and unlike FDR, Long had definite autocratic (not to mention obviously demagogic) tendencies.It wasn't possible for me to avoid the war after electing Reed. Long can probably avoid the war because he's a 'national populist', and can crack down on the communists.
Overall, I would raise the average-IC and MP of every country a bit. Now, it's too hard to raise a real army and makes playing small countries too uninteresting. Even countries like Russia have only about 100 IC which I think, is a little bit too few for such a big country.
Is there any plan to update this for armageddon 1.3?
Why not? This would be a fun mod to play.

I was not talking about giving cores everywhere, which would of course turn them into a superpower (which would be ok for me, given that you still have a tiny army in comparison to Germany, who could be your next target).We have done that in the previous version and the end result is, when Austria or Hungary annexed all the countries they evolve into a superstate, which is more powerfull than Germany or Russia or even the US! As for Russia you must know that it is run by an inefficient and corrupt government for nearly 15 years and also their most productive areas, like Ukraine are now independent countries our under foreign rule!
Also it makes the game more challenging other than a walkover!

But rather changing the starting conditions of Austria. More Air-Leaders are really needed. The manpower at the beginning is super-unrealistic and makes it too hard to win against Hungary, if they ally with Bohemia or Croatia. (you will have to ally Germany in '36 if you want to win, but only then, because if you declare war on Hungary, Germany gets superpissed and probably won't ally you, when the war already started.)
Yes, I also noticed this. Also, in the event releaseing New England, the description says that the Conservatives wanted to keep it, while the Liberals wanted to release it. However, there is no choice to keep it.i don't know if this has been mentioned, but playing as canada, all units i had stationed in new england were given to new england when they became independent. VERY annoying.

BTW, playing as Canada, what do you think is the best way to retake Britain? My route through Scotland caused me a lot of pain that I feel may have been unnecessary.
Well what I did was, first take out the CSA (easy), then, help Delhi annex the rest of India (easy-medium), then won the battle of Iceland and used it as a base to attack Scotland (very painful). You cannot use French Africa to invade Britain, IIRC, however, if you can ally Portugal, you can use that to reach Cornwall.well i haven't got that far (just defeated the CSA) but i was thinking i'd have to attack from france or spain, because any direct landing onto britain is out of range. but can i base myself in french north africa and then attack the south of britain?
i havent assessed the defences of britain yet but i was just planning to try to find a weak spot and quickly land lots of troops. if that doesn't work, i might attack ireland and use it to base bombers.
Ireland is viablle, but I myself want to save that for after the ressurection of the UK, and try out the Irish/IRA event chain.i havent assessed the defences of britain yet but i was just planning to try to find a weak spot and quickly land lots of troops. if that doesn't work, i might attack ireland and use it to base bombers.
