The New SMEP for HoI2

[Jusas]

Yes, but, you must also destroy Canada, Australia and New Zealand, along with the Netherlands (since they will also be at war with you if you're at war with the UK). By then, the United States will probably be in the war too just from your belligerence. So, this Easter Egg should be relatively rare.

How did you manage to remain entirely at peace? Did Japan defeat Australia and New Zealand, and annex the Netherlands? Did you defeat Canada?

I checked the save game logs and I guess I found the reason for this: Iraq sued for white peace right after UK surrender and I accepted it.

name = "10:00 April 9, 1941 : United Kingdom went with Unconditional surrender in British surrender."

name = "14:00 April 11, 1941 : Germany accepted peace with Iraq on the following terms : Return to Status Quo."

Luakel, I downloaded 1.3b and installed using winrar and it worked fine. Try the free trial of winrar and get 1.3b

What's winrar?

But anyway, I'll try and do a clean install all the way to 1.3b within the next day...

 

[Gen.Schuermann]

What's winrar?

i thought anybody on the net uses winrar...
it's like winzip, only better. You'll find a lot of .rar downloads, it is simply the best shrinking program you can find, imho. Also the most widely spread application for packing data. On the net you'll find trial versions which will not expire, just a nasty message that it's not free, but a trial version. But it does all the stuff it is built to do, you just get an annoying message.

 

[Vidfavne]

Humm... I was enjoying a successful campaign as Germany, I had beaten UK and now achieved victory in the East and the Führer was dancing on the tables over at the OKW... UNTIL...



Yeah, I was like WTF. :wacko:

I have the same "problem", it triggered after a very successful war. It was funny for about 5 minutes (I love Turtledoves books), but now it's just annoying. I look forward to a cold war between the nazi block and the US alliance (they're not among the remaining allies) and I really don't want any (wildly) unhistorical stuff... I tried rewriting event 3476 to inherit the aliens, but can't get it to work. Any ideas? I just want to get rid of them.

you know, you can always comment out the event with #s.

Not once it's happened. And no, I don't feel like using an old yearly savefile and play through 10 months of slow (it's 1943) gametime again.

[Atruejedi]

I'm baffled. This event is supposed to be rare. How are you all defeating Australia/Canada/New Zealand/Netherlands so quickly?

wellll, you should save more often then or try again to script an event to dismiss all ALI troops and than anther one for you to inherit it.

do not underestimate the power of the Force!

 

[unmerged(18180)]

Ok another weird one - UK surrendered without me (as Germany) controlling any of the UK? The description mentions London being in Axis hands but it aint...

Also my forces in Northern France disappear - even if I shove them into strat-redeploy - someone mentioned that Vichy is hardcoded to 'steal' units from whoever liberates it - is this true & if so does anyone know a workaround?

Finally what id/where is the Alien attack event so I can comment it out please? At least now the Star Wars leaders pics in SMEP make sense

 

[Vidfavne]

In my case, I invaded the UK in 1940 (after sinking the Royal Navy with 2*30 subs), crushed the USSR in 1941 and got the bitter peace in 1942, UK surrendered in 1943 (after I reached India through Africa/Arabia and Persia). Canada, Australia and New Zeeland are still in the allies, but apparently that doesn't matter. The USA is in an alliance with the Netherlands + Mexico + some other minor states against Japan. And the UK is now also in the Axis, in case that matters.

Edit: Doh! I just remembered that I acceptall-cheated to force a peace with the remaining allies (who would most likely have given up in reality, after UK + half the world joined the axis - in my book a justified cheat) - that explains why I got an event that's supposed to be rare. But how do I fix it?

wellll, you should save more often then

The problem is that I save too often, as soon as anything remotely interesting happens - but always in the same savefile. I only have separate savefiles for 1st of Jan every Year, to be able to go back just in case I should hit some real problem that can't be solved in any way.

But this must be solveable, for instance - how can I make ALI claimable so that I can demand them to oblivion like I can with for example the baltic states (as USSR)?

I backstabbed Germany when they were marching through benelux playing USSR. As a result, they had to send troops to the eastern front, lost against france (their main army was encircled and destroyed) and now I partioned Germany with France (I have everything east of berlin, czechoslovakia, Austria and Bavaria, they have the rest - much more in fact ) but there was no surrender event. Did I miss something?

No. The NATO-Warsaw Pact defeat event for Germany only fires if Poland is dead and France was defeated by Germany. The only treaty that could fire is if France and Poland beat up Germany, and they did not.

 

[Gen.Schuermann]

when exactly does the Germany defeated by Poland and France event trigger? wanna see how it is partitioned.

I played a quick game, took france out of the allies, allied with poland and then defeated germany. meanwhile the SU got in, to my disbelief. i conquered them around August 36, and annexed them - nothing happens. will germany only be divided when the Danzig event triggers?

 

[Dunderdon]

how do the surrender events trigger?
generally spoken, should I annex or wait for an event?

 

[Gen.Schuermann]

usually you should get the events before you have to annex them... however when you come close to annex them (e.g. one province left), you can be sure that there will be no thing like an event, or the certain event did not trigger...

do you have something in mind?

thats what I wanted to know

 

[Gen.Schuermann]

thats what I wanted to know

just use your common sense in most cases. For example, it would be unrealistic if Australia needed to be completely occupied by japanese forces just to make them surrender. So try and reach important places like cities (Sydney for example) and a surrender event will fire sooner or later.


@The Jedis

Is a new version of SMEP in the works?

 

[Atruejedi]

Read, Schuermann, read.

Additionally, I owe everyone an apology. I have basically no free time this semester, so any work on SMEP is going to have to wait a while...

 

[szmik]

sort of

I'm working on SMEP compatible alternative peace events for Allies (basically kick SU out of Eastern Europe), but it's real pain

besides I wouldn't bet be it a part of SMEP

good idea, but then we'll need an alternatives to kick out the Allies of continental Europe then.
