Hi Fernando,
One week ago I installed the platinium beta. What will be different in the final version? I know about naval combat .... any other major changes? I would like to start a game with SOV so I try to understand if it is worth to wait the final version.
The map will be changed too.
And the testers are still working on the land combat system as well as national modifiers.

This sounds great. Just a question, because I don't understand event files very well.
I saw Nat. China annexing all minor fractions (without Mao, of course) by event after Japan DoWed them over Marco Polo.. is this an AI only event, or does a Human Nat. China gets this as well?

I was playing a "hands off" game as Switzerland (OK, I tried to get the Bomb and nuke Germany away just in case they win, but I didn't play active at all) and well, it went pretty well, Germany beat the SU harder than I thought, first winter was almost historically, but in summer '42 they managed to take Moscow, had Leningrad and Stalingrad encircled and the front was at the Ural.
And then, the British landed in Rome, kicked the Italiens hard, it was a "let them run and run yourself" game in Italy for a few month, before the Vichy capitulation fired, Germany got all of France + that bit of North Africa, and Italy, well, was like some allied party, with some bits of Italy here and there...
And then, I had a CtD
Well, it was fun to look, and I hope my first real game won't crash...

How do you play as Japan? It appears to be impossible to get my resource deficits under control - I have simply no natural resources.

trade, that's the only way to get resources...(yea your trades might not be so favourable.)

Maybe I am just a giant noob but the only thing which seems to be in surplus is oil and its not enough to do anything with - +2 oil isn't going to make up for a 20+ metal and +10 rare material deficit
I'm playing the compendium right now and having fun as Nat Chi and was interested in trying yours out but I can't find a list of all the events? It's possible considering the time that my brains just fried.
I'm having now such a G-R-E-A-T game with this mod, that i simply must share it with you all.
I play NatChi on normal/normal (without techteam or IC overtake) from 1936. In 1937 war with Japanese started, i managed to hold them on borders of shanxi, and defended mainland against their naval invasions. After some buildup, in summer 1939 i started brutal offensive from the ex-Shanxi territory, and in february 1940 Fading sun event occured.
In europe everything gone as normal, Vichy appeared in june 1940, giving Indochina to Japan (how sad, it has "china" in name, and they gave it to Japan insted of me :rofl: ). Time came for Pearl Harbor, but after lost war Japan didn't have the guts to do it, so USA stayed out of war.
After two years of peace for chinesse people, Japan suddenlly attacked me again in 1942, but after 3 months they have lost their recently gained Indochina, lost their Manchuria invasion force (about 20 divisions landed, in first weeks gained like 10 provinces in manchuria, but were destroyed afterwards), and some capital ships due to air bombing. Then Japan AI started to give me "white peace" offers each month. I smashed 36 lesser ships by portstriking Okinawas port, and it was obvious that Japanese are unable to hurt me in any way, but i was angry that they attack me anytime they want, so I don't want the white peace. Instead I used accept all and simulated something like another "Fading sun", demanding Indochina and Okinawa for me. Then I disbanded most of my troops and focused on building industry, airports and infras in China (I intended to roleplay a bit, so I wanted to have some years of peace, before DOWing Japan, Sov or allies).
Meanwhile in Medditerean theatre, Italians slowly lost to Brits. In spring 1943 Brits, already controlling all the africa, landed on Sicily, and in summer 1943, Italy was splitter into british and naci halfs. "Gothic Line" occured, and the front frozed on Bologna-LaSpezia line for years. Because US was still outside the war, no "Operation Torch" occured, and Vichy still existed.
After another 2 years of peace, in march 1945 my NatChi declared war on allies. My 8-stack of tacs+escs was quickly smashed by allied interceptors, only 5 squadrons with 200 strength together survived (so i have virtualy no airforce now), but my 120 land divisions accomplished majority of their goals. Before end of the year, India, Persia, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Syria and Lebanon was in my hands. Only advance to capture Singapore encoutered strong resistance, and i was unable to take it so far.
And what happend on the most important front of the WW2? Germany started sucessful Barbarossa in 1941, advancing each year farther and farther into Russia. In 1943 Leningrad was cut off, in 1943 cut off of Moscow followed (moving russian capital to Omsk), German troops achieve outskirst of Stalingrad. In january 1944 Leningrad falled, in spring Germany formed puppet Ukraine, and in march 1945 Moscow was taken by Germans. In september 1945 Germans even captured Sverdlovsk and holded it about a month, but Bitter Peace didn't occured, because invincible city of Stalingrad, almost surrounded by axis forces, holded german's out of kaukaz for more than to years. Obviously Barbarossa was almosted finished, and axis were almost victorius, if something else did not happened meanwhile...
In 1944 Brits started massive invasion into Greece, and after a bit unsure beggining, they bring strong forces to the Balkans. They captured Greece, Bulgaria and Hungary, and distracted so many german forces from south russian front, that the russians got on krym from kaukaz, almost annexed Ukraine, and succesfully turned romania into commintern.
Now it is december 1946, and the situation in Europe is probably the most wonderfull AI vs AI situation I have ever seen in HOI. Brits captured Slovakia, and invaded north italy from austria, encircling Benito's forces to last 2 provinces. Russian liberated Sverdlovsk, and released german pressure on Stalingrad. They still hold Krym, but Ukraine is now stabilized by axis reinforcements. And the US still live in peace...
Germany have 400 divisions, and that seems to be enought in most games, but now they have to hold continuous front from Switzerland to Sverdlovsk. Uff, what a game! Now i'm very sad that im not playing this as an AAR, it could have been a wonderfull AAR...

Something funny happened yesterday... is picked USSR, invaded Sinkiang, Afghanistan and Iran.. when i come to crush Latvia.. 5 divisions defeated 28 Russian divisions!! :wacko: ... but i was sooo angry.. i used ALL.. i mean THE WHOLE Red army to Latvia.. i won :rofl:
Y i know this Sux you have a superiority which would be impossible to defeat in realist situations, but you still lose. Well atleast the Gothic line still holds lol.
for some reasons the Ger AI is incapable to stopping Brits in Gothic line, Yugoslavia, ... practically they don't send much men to it.
The Ger AI needs either to garrison Italy better or make events to pop out some serious garrisons there.

The AI can't garrison the AltantikWall, fight the Soviets and fight the British in south Europa properly at the same time. Multi-fronts exe related issue.
Just downloaded this mod in my anticipation for HoI 3! I like the intro and the music very, let's what happens when i get to the war...
Does going ahistorical prior to Barbarossa absolutely destroy the challenging AI?

You mean attacking before 1941 ?
The soviet AI should indeed be weaker as i've written it to build mass ICs until 1939-1940 and only start mass infantry in 1940.
