Now what I can say, if your rephrase your question to "Lothos would you like to add more cities?"
The answer is Yes I would like to add more but I have no idea if PI will pull them in or not.
Even better!
If not, any chance you start your own mod to share what wasn't included? (Just kidding... don't get me wrong. What you did already is great. Respect.
)Anyway, it is good to know... no, it is a relief to hear that. Here's hope.
Best,

(I'm a very patient person by nature, but I'm starting to lose my composure, I'd like to lay hands on SF... too bad it has to wait.)
It looks like the Japanese still can't handle the conflict in northern china.
Sadly it looks like SF doesn't do much to help Japan, though I am impressed the US did some island hopping. Hopefully with a player-controlled Japan, it'll be a better game. Perhaps there's a way to limit transport range even further? While the US controlled the islands they did, I just don't see them still storming into Japan like they had in this AAR, unless the Japanese navy was negligent or resting on the bottom of the Pacific.
I was at first dissappointed by the Japanese but the fact that they regained a lot of ground in the two years since the war began for them made me more confident that the AI is pretty good. The Japanese must've started the war far more unprepared than IRL. If you don't take Guam and Wake, it's indeed quite easy for the Americans to take Okinawa and then invade the main islands.
China and the Cliques were to strong. North China was a mess.

I think that if the Japanese managed to take mainland china; then the war with the US/the pacific war would favour the Japanese more than the outcome of the AAR.
You never know but the Japanese not fending off the US may be a rare sight; but also it could be that the US always invades the Japanese homeland.

I can just add that there is a danger with adding stuff to late. It could get unwanted effects.
Anyone remember the HoI2 (I think) release where the German AI was unable to conquer Warzaw? It became a bit... problematic.

Could it be the US AI made a decision to put more resources into the Pacific campaign vs. Atlantic then actually occurred? Might explain the Allies trouble in Europe too.

No one is arguing for or against new urban tiles here; i'm simply wondering why there is a dramatic increase in urban areas in SF as opposed to HOI3 1.4.
Are you saying that the additional urban tiles are part of one of your personal mods, or is this what SF will look like when released? I was under the impression that Darkrenown's game was played with the same map we will recieve when we order SF.

North African theater:
Faction adjustments:
Chinese marauding through Manchukuo:

Lothos has been involved with the development of Semper Fi, I'm sure that those urban tiles will be in the final release (but I'll of course let the man himself have the final word on that, don't trust what I say
)
It seems the AI for Japan is either to strong to to weak. It will probably take some time to get it right. The AAR left us hanging if USSR surrenders or not... if they did like was implied then thats another disappointment.
Keep in mind historically the US put a high priority against Germany and the Pacific recieved the leftovers. Basically all they got were Marines and Navy. Some army but not much. They relied on New Zeeland & Australia to clean up areas to let them be more mobile (In New Guinea) and US Army for Island Cleanup.
But I didn't see Japan take Singapore or Indonesia prior to the war with America.... another let down. Granted the player is now allowed to influence this now if they play the Axis, but not the Allies. Also the Americans entered the war with 0 experience for their troops and the Marines were shipped off with WW1 equipment in 1942. It took a good 2 years before they were normalized with their gear and really took charge in the theatre.

Maybe an axis victory condition to take Indonesia was not allocated (if there was one); or Japan was fighting china with as many forces as it could muster.
There are too many maybes to conclude that the Japanese AI definatly is bad in SF.
EDIT:
However I do agree that Japan should have only declared war on US/allies to achieve a goal, whether it was resource or land related; which it didn't.
2nd EDIT:
I'm not sure if Japan declared war on the US, or US joined the allies while japan was allied to the axis

They obviously started the war with China while they had next to no forces guarding the China/Manchukuo border, so it's safe to say that at least some aspects of the Japanese AI are still bad. The results from those maps are worse than any Japanese performance I've ever seen even in 1.4 with the exception of those when I was playing as China.
Oh Thank God!
I just sough Sigleton Moresby AAR in which German AI is incapable to defeat Belgium in 1940 for a month!(Fall Gelb):
Screwed assault AI, or to strong new defence AI I tought!
I felt I will get into bed with nightmare dreams but this AAR in which Germans captured Moscow makes me feel better.
It must be some anomaly in one of this AAR-s

What I am saying is I added all the new urban cities but after several days on it I got tired. It is not easy to do! I did allot in SF other than LUA (AI) work. Pretty much all over the place.
Much thanks for all of your hard work Lothos.
I hope PI compensates you in some way, even if it's not with money.
Like some hot Swedish chicks perhaps.
