Howdy!
As a hopelessly addicted hoi player, I thought this "scoop" simply must be stated.
To make a long story short, a few weeks ago I posted a question on these forums regarding how does "ground defense efficiency" work? Amoung others, a very kind poster "Katitatlan" explained in detail how this worked and referred in his truly brilliant "German Mechanized aar" about this "STARFIRE" mod.
WOW!
To the best of my knowledge, this mod is totally unique in several ways but you're sure to notice the massively improved combat engine! Amazingly, no more instant "poof" (almost instant vaporization) of the undersized armies in battle. The lesser size armies actually will fight gamely for awhile unless grossly outnumbered. Just like real life!
Of course, imo, this adds immense "flavor" to the game not to mention being orders of magnitude more realistic and historical.
Also, no more bizarre and annoying economic crashes.....yes!
I think if you're like I was and didn't know a thing about this mod, you owe it to yourself to check this thing out. I've played vanilla, SR, CORE, SuperAI and a few others but I've never seen anything like this. Not even close.
Here it is. Try it's 1.06b5 version....
