Special E3 Announcement - just for you! A House Divided

[Caewil]

There should be a way to send ships up river, to allow for more accurate campaigns against the CSA. The Union sent steam ships up the Red River, a tributary of the Mississippi, to halt supplies moving in from Texas. We should have something like that, at least for some large rivers. Some examples could be the Mississippi, the Amazon, the Hudson, and the Congo Rivers. I'm sure there are other likely candidates. With such access, we should then be able to build naval bases on some provinces adjacent to rivers. Not all naval bases are situated on the coast.

The Yangtze and Yellow River in China as well as the canal connecting the two. And dreadnoughts and cruisers shouldn't be able to enter canals.

Thanks for mentioning some other rivers. Hopefully Paradox will seriously consider this idea; it would make warfare certainly more interesting.

Don't forget the Rhone - then Switzerland can have a navy.

Less trolling, please. I'm sure mods make things more balanced or more interesting for you, but the game is quite playable without them.

Let the praise/critique begin!

Critiques were asked for, I'm afraid, my good sir. Also, if anything is said about replying to messages such as that, it was not in any sort of colouring to make it that kind of message.


On to happier things. I must say, I'm looking forward to this expansion if I can ever get Vicky 2 to install again.

Hm... developer diaries in autumn... I suppose the question at this point would be about when in autumn.

Need MORE unifications in the expansion! Byantium and India are fun, but we need more -- Gran Columbia, etc.

+1. I wholeheartedly agree!

 

[GrafKeks]

Is there a chance that we´ll see an automatic army management, like in HoI?
