Modifying Techs

[Twotribes]

If I modify the techs is that going to effect current games or only ones started after I modifed those files?

I must assume, since there is no answer, no one knows the answer.

i believe if you modify a tech, the changes you make will effect everything after you make the change, but whatever the effects were before would remain in place. I'm not 100% sure however. I only say this because I've modded naval doctrine techs before and found that existing naval units were not effected by the change I made, but new units were.

Also, given there are far fewer participants in the modding sector than other areas of the forum, i would suggest waiting more than 6 hours for a reply. I know from experience it can be excruciating waiting for help, but patience has always paid off for me in the past.

Anyway, hope I helped. Check HOI2Wiki, they might have something on the topic.

So? Have I waited long enough to note no one seems to know this answer? Or shall I give it a month or two?

I would say no.

I haven't played much here, but ...

Paradox, and all modders, seem to see no effect in existing savegames. As such, I would safely assume that your changes will not really affect the samegame "Unless" you research the tech with the changes afterwards. Something to think about.
