Drop me a pm with your name and address and I'll send a CD to you.

I'm looking for some alpha testers to help out with the v0.9 release. If you are interested then please head over to the forum at coremod.org and post your interest.

Been trying to register at the forum, all i get is "invaled session" would be interested in helping with the alpha testing if you are still looking.

Which ISP are you on? For security reasons the forum uses session IDs tied to IP addresses and depending on how your ISP handles this (ie for example proxy setup) it may cause issues.

Thanks for offering to help out, while it would be easier if you could use the new forum I'm sure we can work via this forum and the wiki as well

Some questions to get started with C.O.R.E 0.85

Hello

I would have some questions:

A) Germany started with -25 DI. Is it normal?

B) The game begins with the difficulty setup. What is good difficulty for players that have played HoI vanilla with normal/normal/normal?

Steel · Oct 20, 2004

Several nations in C.O.R.E. begin with negative DI, this is intentional and reduces some issues with diplo actions.

For your first game I would suggest that you stick with leaving difficulty on normal levels both in the game settings and the first events. Personally I'm currently playing on that level and finding the game very enjoyable.

Okay, then one question of the tanks.
Do they cause fear or something in the game, as the first tanks that Germany has have like five times lower hard and soft attack and ten times lower defence than basic infantry?

Let me say it like this.

I would rather be a member of a infantery platoon in combat with a couple of Panzer IA's then being a member of one of those tank crews..........

Those tanks were for show not for fighting in a war. Light armor & armed with a MG.

Just do some research in new tanks and they will be good very good.

That is a general game question and might be better served in the general forum, but otoh tanks are shot at with 'hard attack' while infantry are shot at with 'soft attack', soft attacks also sometimes cause more damage and I think tanks can get 'critical hits' somewhat more easily (as well as being faster).

But as Crazyhorse said - early tanks were very poor and the PzI was quickly relegated to becoming a recon unit and replaced by PzII and further models developed.

I looked into the technical details of the invalid session problem and AOL is top of the list of ISPs which shuffle their users from proxy to proxy so the IP address keeps changing. If you ever change ISP or get a fixed IP the problem will go away.

Ref. the v0.9 testing I'll drop you a pm when rc2 is available. It will be this weekend sometime, I've just fixed the last few known crash-bugs in v0.9rc1 so it's getting to the point where it's actually meaningful for people to test

molotov ribbentropp event 2051

first, sorry about my bad english. look at this:

Code:

#########################################################################
#  The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact
#########################################################################
event = {
	id = 2050
	random = no
	country = GER
	trigger = {
		exists = SOV
		exists = POL
		NOT = {
			OR = {
				event = 2051
				war = { country = SOV country = GER  }
				alliance = { country = GER country = POL }
				alliance = { country = GER country = SOV }
				ispuppet = GER
				ispuppet = SOV
				ispuppet = POL
			}
		}
	}
	name = "EVT_2050_NAME"
	desc = "EVT_2050_DESC"
	style = 0

	date = { day = 23 month = august year = 1939 }

	action_a = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME2050A" # Historical Agreement
		command = { type = trigger which = 2600 } # SOV
		command = { type = warentry which = USA value = -10 }
	}
	action_b = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME2050B" # Only agree to partition Poland
		command = { type = trigger which = 2601 } # SOV
		command = { type = warentry which = USA value = -10 }
	}
	action_c = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME2050C" # No deals with the Bolsheviks!
		command = { type = warentry which = USA value = 10 }
	}
}
event = {
	id = 2051
	random = no
	country = GER
	trigger = {
		NOT = {
			OR = {
				event = 2050
				war = { country = SOV country = GER  }
				alliance = { country = GER country = POL }
				alliance = { country = GER country = SOV }
				ispuppet = GER
				ispuppet = SOV
				ispuppet = POL
			}
		}
		exists = SOV
		exists = POL
		
		war = { country = POL country = GER  }
	}
	name = "EVT_2050_NAME"
	desc = "EVT_2050_DESC"
	style = 0

	date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1936 }
	offset = 3
	deathdate = { day = 29 month = december year = 1947 }

	action_a = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME2050A" # Historical Agreement
		command = { type = trigger which = 2600 } # SOV
	}
	action_b = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME2050B" # Only agree to partition Poland
		command = { type = trigger which = 2601 } # SOV
	}
	action_c = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME2050C" # No deals with the Bolsheviks!
		command = { }
	}
}

we are palying a very interesting MP game. i'm USSR, and Germay has attack poland in april 1939, and annexet it in may 1939. the event 2051 not happens. why? i'm not in war, and poland i'snt puppet.

Ilkhold · Oct 21, 2004

First: This is event 2050 not 2051
Second: It requires Poland to exist in August 1939 which is usually not the case if germany annexes it in may 1939.

Wittmann · Oct 21, 2004

below, has event 2051, take a look.
