maybe a (minor?) advice which surely will help speed up the loading time, i noticed this by randomly browsing the game files:
\history\provinces\east europe\1024:
Code:
...
infra = 8
infra = 8
...
and it gets better:
\history\provinces\east europe\1060:
Code:
...
infra = 8
infra = 8
infra = 8
...
and even better:
\history\provinces\east europe\1096:
Code:
...
infra = 8
infra = 8
infra = 6
...
im aware we all have computers which are fast as hell and our hd space is big enough to contain data from all the universe but is it really necessary to 1) waste hd space in such a way 2) forcing the game to read redundant data and having to decide which of the lines to pick?
another thing i noticed is the weird behaviour of the theatre define button.. i once invaded half of europe as SU, pressed the define theatre button and the number of theatres dropped by one.. next click on that button (this is all while game is paused) made the number drop by one again, and so on until i had one single theater after 4-5 clicks
also... this is basically an exploit i found, its very easy to get 200 relations with any country, by proposing NAPs.. most countries reject anyways but the proposal alone raises the relations by 30 or so, the thing is that this action doesnt cost any diplomacy points, so what i did was, every 2 weeks pause the game, propose a nap to every single country in the world, after a few months i was at +200 with everyone - and all this for free
