The eternal civil war

[Idiotboy]

I have had this weird experience in my latest game. The spanish civil war never ends. After a while 1939 I allied with the nationalists to see what the hell was up. Neither side had any troops. And they weren´t constructing any new ones either so both sides just sat there. I assume this is an abnormality.

Maybe they all became convinced pacifists?

It's hard to fight without troops.

So Spain will never EVER raise any new troops? That´s the effective result of your statement. Neither side do anything. So neither side can have any resources of any kind. Sounds rather bizarre to me. Of course this means that even if they united they would be in the same position since they don´t have any resources.

That shouldn't be the case, there a occasional flukes with the Spanish Civil War event still that are probably the cause of the problem. During beta testing we made a concious decision to focus on other issues that affected the general war before trying to get the Spanish Civil War to work perfectly.

Thank you for the actually useful answer.

The map looks a bit off yes. Republican Madrid surrounded by Nationalist territories and the Nationalst capital in republican hands.

IIRC, the province distribution is random atm.

 

[Jon Shafer]

Any explanation why neither side would have the resources to build any divisions?

You'd figure at least ONE side would have SOMETHING...

Maybe they all fled from the draft into France....er, Vichy France.

Is there anything the player can do to nudge the civil war along, or cause it to end, if it goes to stalemate like in Idiotboy's example?

Or can you edit the file as in EU2?

You could ally with one side and/or send an expeditionary force.

Sure, create a convoy, give them resources. Simple
