plz plz make sure North Korea is powerful.

[Jace]

Hey in this mod i think it should be VERY hard for North Korea's dissent to rise and for there to be events where they Mobalise (sp). NK sees there leader as there father or god. they wont rise up agianst him. 2nd NK's army has over 1 million men so this should be reflected and the can Mobalise 3 to 4 million more this too should be reflected. Another thing is that NK has the biggist sub fleet in the world so i hope you guys also show this. And they can turn Soul into ash with in the first day of the war with Artilery not missles. and South Korea is planing to build a new capital in the south east it should be done by 2009 or 2010

Lol that sounds they should be more powerful then China !!!! China has the biggest army at this moment.Altough most of them are poorly trained.But still that what be weird to make North Korea stronger then China !!! Or even stronger then America ?

 

[Jace]

number wise they do out number the US. i think NK should start with say 25 Div and can Mobalise at least 30 to 40 more. and maybe 20 sub Div. remember they said China will have 100's of div in the game

In the future, could you please post these types of threads as posts in either General Comments or some Asia-specific thread? I don't want to be anal, but it really helps us organize if you do.

Regarding North Korea: Yes, they will have a large standing army. I'm not sure about events to bombard Seoul for the alpha, but we'll work on something like that for the beta I think.

 

[Jace]

and will there be mobalistions?

 

[unmerged(15113)]

for alpha? no
for beta? most likely

 

[unmerged(28406)]

Will there be lots of events in MDS.And the release date is closer then ever.I can feel it.......

Manpower will probably be limited in growth and then when war comes you’ll get several events based on what nation you are giving you some manpower or perhaps some new divisions. As for North Koreas units, the do have a large army and a lot of manpower but its not really well equipped or well trained. The N Koreans are good at holding their mountain home but are weak and slow on the offensive against US or South Korean forces.

Also North Korean wont have a lot of ICs so as the war goes on nations like China or the US will massively out produce them, especially if the US goes with conscription.

End result, North Koreas represented as a strong regional power but its not the likes of China.

i know but my point is it should not be a cake walk for the US to beat NK even with out chinas help the NK should be able to have a fair chanch on the Korean Pensula.

 

[Buke]

North Koreas tough just like in real life the terrain and the massive (if inferior quality) troops will make any South Korean or US attack on the North time consuming and costly.

 

[Jace]

will there be a peace treaty with NK and the US for i do admit it whould be very hard to annex the US with NK but if theres not Peace treaty where NK can win in some way then in time they will lose no matter what whitch is unfair to the NK player.

 

[Buke]

Eventually well work out peace events for N Korea, probably tied in with Chinas peace events. One point of the mod is to make as many countries as playable as possible, you cant expect much as Micronesia but with a nation like N Korea we would be amiss if we didn’t make that nation a chance for victory.

 

[Jace]

good ^_^ i plan on doing a AAR that takes place during the James Bond movie Die another day with this game once most of the bugs have been worked out and more has been added.

 

[unmerged(28406)]

BTW will most of the US troops be spreaded around the world (Europe,Korea,Middle East etc ) ?

north korea has been preparing for war with america since the end of the korean war they have artillery allong the border that could level any american base in s.korea in a matter of hours the us imploys an open terrain tank doctrine and there not equipped for mountinous terrain n.k uses migs which are built and imploy a dotrine for close combat and dogs fight US use long range and would lose hands down in the fight over N.K. not only this but N.K are the best tunnelers in the world they have airbases and all military HQ's under grounds barreks and all sorts of things well beyond the range of a bunker buster the U.S has a doctrine of centrilised carriers surrounded by i cant remember now but tehy can take down like 146 missiles fired at one time or something like that N.K can fire more missles then that being able to take down the carriers so it would be very probable for S.K to fall almost like poland

 

[Jace]

but the US is trying to get Nucler Bunker busters that will do the trick lol.

 

[mauzzer]

IRAQ had the 5th largest army in the world

IRAQ had the 5th largest army in the world

Yup, but it wold have like 2 ORG Agreed that the zize of the armies should be reflected in the game.

Well you must remember N Koreas missile tech is generally less advanced than US tech. Now the standard Aegis cruiser has some 120+ missiles ready to fire and the Aegis radar can lock on to many targets at one time, cant remember exactly but I think over 100, and off course there is the CIWS. All that’s from just one of several such ships that would escort a US carrier into battle but the Gulf war proved that a ship could destroy an inbound missile in real world conditions. The US navy has of course never been tested by a mass missile attack but we’ve been developing tactics for such an event since the 70’s and I’m confidant that a US battlegroup could handle such a strike from North Korea.

For further thought, China who has better missile tech and access to a wider array of forces than North Korea (more planes and ships) estimates that it could take on just 2 carrier groups and win.

Oh also North Koreas Migs are mostly 1 to 2 generations behind US aircraft I just think of the 1982 war in Lebanon where Israeli planes (mostly modern US planes) destroyed 85 Syrian planes (just like what the North Koreans use) without one lost aircraft and I laugh.

Your right about the Norths great tunnels however.

 

[Jace]

but NK is a closed country god knows how many techs they have bought on the black market and in the game when china allies with NK i am sure in future versions there will be events where China gives tech to NK. and even US commanders said NK chould blow up any US base in SK right now and that it whould be very hard to win a Air supiority over NK.
