Manchucko theater and 1.4

Does the 1.4 AI handle the Manchucko theater and sino-jap war for Japan better?

This was one of my biggest issue as it could quickly take Japan out as a major player in the war.

yes would love to know that too.

Woot to the close beta test of 1.4. :D

This was one of my biggest issue as it could quickly take Japan out as a major player in the war.

this will currently actually depend more on the supply changes than on the AI changes.
it's unfortunately probably a lot harder to make the military AI really aware of supply issues, too bad really because that would really solve the problem but i guess we'll have to cross our fingers for particular regions and hope that the supply system changes will solve most problems there.

i do think that many of the "allied" players will appreciate the improved coöperation though, for some this was a game breaker so at least that's a very positive change.

I hope that this means that my France game will get more interesting. The US has 750 brigades sitting there on the West Coast in LA or San Fransisco (yes, all of them are in one city), and I would *love* for those troops to either land in Indochina to kick the Japanese out of my colonies, or land in Europe to help me beat back the German hordes. They could at least kill off Axis Brazil and Argentina. It's sad that they won't even retake the Panama Canal at this point because of their party in LA.

New update! We hope to have the public beta ready for you some time this week.

Good news, but don't rush on my account. Also, I think it may be handy if someone were to put up brief directions on 'how to beta test' for the community.

Do not want to sound impatient, but I would love to receive some info about wether game performance is better in 1.4??

just guessing this will particularly be looked at the last stage, like PI did for the previous patch.
it's quite logical to do so because any change in game mechanics (and looks like there will be a lot again) also means a change in game performance so as long as tweaking is going on you can't really see what the base performance is but as long as the changes are 'smarter' than originally (like in achieving a better intended result with a reduced computing) then the performance should also improve, thanks to these changes.

once PI has a good idea about how the changes perform then they can look at individual performance improvements for individual modules and the game as a whole.

Are any significant AI changes noticeable in 1.4 patch?

too soon to tell i guess because the testing has only just begun, so far i'm reading about a spectacular improvement for Japan vs China though. currently i'm reïnstalling the game to have a look at the 1.4 beta changes myself :D

***beta patch available in the technical section if you've a registered copy of the game, let's give them some decent in depth feed-back to improve our game guys!***

I haven't played too much into it, but the UK has been much more useful to me as France. They have troops in France now helping me push back those evil Germans, and with the help of some of their expeditionary forces, I have managed to bust out of occupied Italy and into Austria, reaching the outskirts of Vienna and managing to encircle Switzerland and link up with the Maginot Line.

This could be a result of continuing my save, but the US has still not done much. When I first loaded the game, their mega-stack in San Francisco started to spread around. I was hoping they would at least invade the Axis players in South Amerca, or maybe even take on the Japanese and free my colony in Indochina. No such luck. They've only taken a few minor islands, and they have stopped. San Francisco has 1200 or so infantry brigades standing by, but they only have a whopping 12 transports. Australia has actually made moves now, though, so that's a plus. There is also an Iraqi division in London, which I thought was great.

EDIT: I should also say that the Axis minor states have sent much more in the way of assistance to the front in Austria. Before, only the Greeks and the Yugoslavian forces actually were there, but now there is a nice sized Hungarian contingent. The AI seems to be doing better in this area.

The rate at which Paradox is pumping out patches makes me feel that they think the world will end tommorrow.....:rofl:

Keep going at this rate and the game will be totally FANTASTIC!

Paradox should be this fast for ALL their games.<-- This would make them probably the best game dev company out there :D:D


P.S: What do we have to look forward to in the Expansion?
