Questions for the DEVs

[Cadwalender]

1. Are there any plans on a Belgium focus tree?
1a. Would it get put with a regional country pack or just added in with a major expansion?

2. Could you make it possible to view casualties inflicted not just on a by country basis but also by alliance? When you are fighting multiple nations its more difficult to add up how much damage you've done when you have to go through a dozen countries numbers.

3. Would it be possible to visit the naval designer and reduce the tech amount?

1 - I am sure that one day Belgium will have its own focus and I think its case is very similar to the Finnish case in the sense that it could perfectly be a wildcard country, since it could perfectly have come in the dlc de la resistance together with the French rework but I think they saved it. as an attraction for a neutral minor dlc to countries like Switzerland, Ireland etc ... in a future country pack

 

[Federkiel]

Switzerland???

Uh, beware Europeans before the very William Tell divisions prowling in the fog, which are about to devastate your petty tank armies across two land tiles with rocket propelled tungsten arrows.

Would it be possible to visit the naval designer and reduce the tech amount?

Why they would do that? Doctrines are no longer unlocked by tech but instead by experience so investing heavily in the naval department should no longer be crippling.

I wasn’t aware of that, but I did see that the tank designer mostly used existing techs. Still hoping the naval designer gets a slight reduction in the same way.

1. I mean I got plans for ALL nations sitting around ;D as for where... it would depends on what it fits together with
2. hmm, not a bad idea
3. we moved doctrines out of tech slots (got a quick description in the pdxcon presentation), that should give you a lot more space for other techs.

You mean only land doctrines right?

I suppose it's all doctrines. There is no indication of air/naval doctrines not getting the same treatment.

Yeah, based on the screenshot teaser in the tank designer dev diary, all three doctrines have been removed from the research tab.

All? Literally all? Ever single one of them? There is really a chance for Tannu Tuva focus tree in some very distant future? For real?

Is it possible to have the inflicted casualties matter more than sustained casualties for the war score?

I made a topic a while ago about this and a lot of people seemed to agree with it:

Shouldn't inflicted casualties matter more than sustained casualties for the war score?

There may be something I'm missing, but doesn't it make sense for inflicted casualties to be more important than sustained casualties for war score? If you play as France and lost 500k manpower and only inflicted 30k manpower, you did pretty...

Personally I would appreciate inflicted casualties giving war score, but peace conferences as a whole would still be pretty broken/unbalanced, so I don't think war score will get changed before we get a full peace conference rework.

Thanks for the reply, I’ll check the pdxcon footage for the info.

They will most likely give out some bulk trees, like Tannu Tuva getting the same as other countries in that area.

Doctrines not hogging tech slots will help a lot!

Remembers the French AI blocking a research slot with land doctrines that take over 1000 days to research per level

He did? Dang it! He has like 3 research slots and sticks with it for a very long time.

 

[kimidf]

They already said from the beginning of everything that they wanted all countries to have some kind of flavor of their own sooner or later.

and as said several times I love the possibility that there were trees differentiated by regions through a shared or semi style based on the models of the Chinese warlods for very small nations

 

[Hoi Neuling]

Sadly haven’t seen the Hoi 4 Game-Presentation in the PDX-Con Event with the already done 1.11 and DLC-Features.

But in Dev Dirays and Video-Presentations before 1.11 the Devs announced that the R & D-Tree get fully overworked.

Can someone please elaborate on this?

 

[Hoi Neuling]

Yes, look at the Dev Diray with the Tank-Information. There one of the Community-Writers there noticed it.
