New beta C.O.R.E. v0.8 ***Discussion Thread***

[jdrou]

Hi all.

First, i would like to congratulate all reardis the great work done here.

i am currently playing core 0.83 with 1.06 patch. as the USA. the date is 12/1942 and twice in a row -> a message appeared as follows:
"datbase mismatch (type6/id 98001) already used!"
this message was foolowed by:
"datbase mismatch (type6/id 98002) already used!"
"datbase mismatch (type6/id 98003) already used!"
.
.
.
"datbase mismatch (type6/id 98006) already used!"

Known bug apparently in vanilla HoI. Hitting ignore to the messages should allow you to continue playing without problems. Reported earlier in C.O.R.E. Bugs thread.

The 'big' items on the list is AI, some new events (less new events than in previous releases), nuclear tech tree overhaul and the 1939 scenario.

Ah, this sounds nice! Perhaps you should also overhaul the Jet-techs, so that some planes might appear at more historical dates, the time to finish for those techs are perhaps too long. I am not sure, it just seemed like that when I was trying to get some jetfighter in '44 and couldn't. And perhaps underpower those planes a bit. e.g. Germany could have some startup jet-techs or throw it in by event.

And I think waiting for the 1.07 might be a good idea, regarding the CAGs and stacking penalty,etc. Of course you could launch it for the beta, and then just update for 1.07 if it's made, but current patch is a beta so I guess you can stick to 1.06 for now. Hmm...

I'd imagine it's one of them things you get by event.

You're not supposed to research it.

It's a German specific tech that is given by event, much like the Soviet's "Great Patriotic War" tech. Chances are, a good player will never see it.

 

[Tormodius]

Are they both for AI-event only?

NB:
Another thing, if you feel like overhauling jet-techs I'd recommend expensive Jet-models with slightly better airdefense and ground defesne (harder to hit) and high speed, medium range only. Short range on rocket planes and fast speed, same stats as other piston engined fighters. No great stats for early jet and rocket planes, they were just a curiosity, and IMO they should not make you win the war. Good luck!

 

[Semi-Lobster]

Are they both for AI-event only?

Nope the "Total War Economy" tech is given to the German player or AI by an event that triggers from the Soviets pushing pack the Germans through Eastern Europe and the "Great Patriotic War" tech is triggered by German push into the USSR

 

[Tormodius]

Aha, so they're triggered by the occupation of certain provinces.
That would certainly be a relief for a player who got schmocked by the Red Army.

Its been a long time

I purchased HOI they day it was released and found it to be way too buggy and problemmatic for me. I've continued to browse the forums and with all the patches and mods have decided to give it a try again using CORE. My only issue so far is that with all the changes made, I'd like to get a list of all the stats for all the possible infantry, navy, air ect.. I have found the naval info in the CORE namy pdf but cannot find the same charts for the other branches. Can any one point me to them.

I would have posted this in the core forum but they don't allow new threads and I refuse to read through 12,000 posts to find one that means something to me.

Thanks,

John

if ever in doubt where to post in the CORE forum you can always do so in the latest patch's discussion thread which is stickied on the top of the page.

no-one will blame you for asking a aquestion that has been asked before(havent seen this one for a long time), so all are valid if connected to CORE somehow.

all units can be viewed in the txt files located in the mod-core/db/units directory.

The unit files will show you the base values for units before research is completed. I don't think that there's been an accurate unit database since v. 1.03 or 1.04 that gave you a quick overview of all units.

If you are playing CORE, there's another problem as many upgrades in CORE take effect only after upgrades which look like HA +1 (U)

You can ask CORE questions in the forum. Just remember to specify that you are playing CORE and cite the version number.

Going to War Early

I know this is a nexbie question but it seems as I can't go to war before 1939. Is there a way change this? Hoping for a little help

economic treatment

Is there an oppurtunity in CORE to sign my own economic treatments
and not thoose which are counted as events
For example i want some oil from iraq (i think i can better make use of that oil)

England Intervenes in Italian Agression: Event 272195

Can someone summarize the regions that trigger a DoW from England? I like a challenge with Italy, but I would also like to know where England wouldn't mind me munching, or what combinations might work.

 

[unmerged(10750)]

I just wanted to comment that I downloaded and played CORE for the first time in about 8 months last night. I must say, I'm really impressed with the progress that's been made.

I just wanted to say "kudos" to everyone who worked on this project - it's quite a feat.

Because your WE isn't 100%. A democratic country isn't supposed to declare war on another country.

Play as Germany then you won't have that problem.

No. There are only economic trades by events and the WM.

question about the Wiki

Hi all,

I see references from time to time to the CORE Wiki. I know about the Vicky Wiki for Victoria, which contains a wealth of information and is open for all to see. Is CORE's Wiki open, at least for browsing?

I ask because I'm interested in working with CAGs (maybe just for myself) to balance them for use with 1.06b's air stacking penalty. I suspect that the background discussion of how CAGs were designed would help me, and I assume that it is on the Wiki.

Would someone tell me how to get access? Do I need to apply to Steel or another CORE leader?

Thanks.
