Hi,

Finland should almost never join Axis if getting WP or better in the Winter War.
Neither should Finland or Sweden break their eventual alliance to join the Axis under the above conditions.

Norways ambitious rearmament programme started after Munich should be taken account of.
If Norway is occupied by Ger, their convoys and escorts should go to U.K.

Sweden should historically have all light tanks upto 45 mm researched by 1933 as they were researched by 1931 already(Landsverk 10A tank).
Also at least the first 3 jet engine techs by 1933, as Lysholm-Bofors jet engine was successfully bench tested by 1935.
And this is not overpowering Sweden in any way, we were so far behind in many connected areas so we had no practical possibility to use this knowledge that early. The game takes account of this as is.

Poland should have a rocket research team(Lwow University) available latest from 1936.

Louis de Broglie could have electronics specialization added. He worked on radio techs for the French Army during WW I.

Rgds, Oldtimer

- Take care of the Vichy events / existence in case GER loses the war.
- Make some countries releasable as Soviet puppets e.g. socialist France. Or any France at all though a free France exists in Africa / the pacific.
- Fix the "messed-supply-through-released-puppets" bug (in case it's still there with Arma).
- Any event to fix European post war borders? Romania Bulgaria and Hungary surrendering to USSR are a bit of a mess.
- Check the cores for releasing Yugoslavia (Osijek as capital ?!) and Czechoslovakia (2 provinces missing) and Greece (Skopje as core instead of Bitola and with no connection to mainland?)
- Check some no mans lands like the Isle of Man, some Alaskan islands (Unalaska or smthng?) with no ports.
- Make Japan try to island hop through Hawaii to California.
- Italy is too powerful in the Med.
- Make ComChi playable !!

 

[DrakenPL]

Lower forts build time by 2x and make it avabile to build them in yours alliance members territory

Hi,

would be good if Nat. China could fight Jap to a costly stalemate instead of losing almost every time.

There is no logic in some techs decreasing research speed. But for "balance" reasons I suggest to remove all research speed bonuses/maluses. Except for calculating machines of all kinds.

Industrial planning is an enigma. Why do some countries get it, while other similar countries do not? Does this have something to do with AI Germanys possibility to win?
Either remove this "feature" or make it available to all medium and smaller powers but differentiated according to their resources.

Rgds, Oldtimer

The 50 % chance to satisfy the claims should be reconsidered (may be claims should be disabled at all).

If in the time of Pearl Harbor (dec 1941 - jan 1942) is Britain already defeated, may be Japan should not attack it. (Or German should be able to choose side (?))

Soviet Union has too low manpower, as Germany I am able to let it depleted in February-March 1943. It should have 1000 more and events to recruits more under the penalty of productivity loss (when moving workforce to military manpower)

Germany should know the tech 4470 (Rocket Theory) or have blueprint of it.

Ahistorical event choices should be penalized by dissent (or worse, like regime_falls). For example: event 610506 (Reichstag): ahistorical choice "It was an accident" just takes money, when considering history, it should also close the opportunity to forbid the communist party (and opportunity to be elected), which would surely deny Hitler to gain emergency powers. What I say, we should see historical choices as more populist (less dissent) and ahistorical / player choices as less populist (more dissent).

I am very grateful, that you are still developing this perfect game Thanx

 

[Conanteacher]

Also make Radars and Flaks worth to build. Like lower cost / increase effectivity?

 

[makif130289]

+ Italian IC always passes French IC, Italian IC should be lower than French one.
+ Conversion events in AoD version are meaningless, they should be removed.
+ Delete free units

 

[unmerged(231456)]

Please, do not

+ Delete free units

 

[makif130289]

Please, do not

Then all free units should give IC drop related to their cost. Cost of some money and material really makes these units free.

 

[unmerged(231456)]

Agree. (IC deconstruction and negative freesupplies bonus is better - to simulate dedicated industry - as IC efficiency total/supplies drop)

 

[DrakenPL]

really makif is perm banned?

I read his last post and he was actualy correct, if we look at it corectly Soviet flag should be banned aswell, altrough winners write history (and admins).

 

[gorgias96]

Plz revise the map and distances in DH+IC. Some of them are really huge and i think they are bugged. Look at east mediterranean.....

 

[Tobit]

Ministers sometimes change if you load up a save. One game I played I turned Germany, social conservative, then market liberal, which brought in the Kaiser for some reason. When he died, it brought in Donitz and when I saved the game and went back to it, Donitz was now Hitler.

1. As has been said, Italian IC and strength needs to be looked at to allow the British AI to do something other than lose Egypt or stack at Alexandria.

3. NatChi's AI needs to be strengthened so they do not always lose.

4. If Italy joins Axis before France is completely defeated and advances into Southern France they are keeping several French provinces. Italy needs a "Return of Occupied Provinces" event.

5. The Winter, Desert and Jungle equipment techs should come with a small decrease in Industrial Efficiency or a supply cost to represent the production cost of the equipment.

6. Allow doctrines to be abandoned.

une chose qui serait genial et nous rapprocherais de HOI 3 serait de pouvoir mettre plusieurs brigades dans une Division
2 3 evidement cela modifierais les potenciel combat de l'unite
est-ce possible ??

something that would be awesome and we approach them HOI 3 would be able to put several brigades in a division
recess that would amend the potencial Combat Unit
Is this possible?

 

[MartinBG]

Fix the issue with save-game corruption in non-English languages when used with DH 1.01+

I played twice as Germany, once in DH, and once in AOD. Both times the 1936 Rhineland event fired in 1938. the UN protection ends in early 1936, but the notice is not received and Germany doesn't get their "goodies" until 1938. Also, there are a few provinces that are so small you go a little click crazy. Especially Paris with the garrison that cannot be moved. Otherwise for me an interesting mod to play.

You have to move your unit (one is enough) to Saarbrucken (Province 74). It fires since 1. 1. 1936

Germany should focus troops on the Russian front in the months before Barbarossa, even if they have a land route to another front through allied territory.
