OK. About the new map, i've spent 2 1/2 full weeks on it, without a result. As we (FT and I) have many times asked fo help about this bug, nobody could help us. So we've decided not to implement the changes. All the graphic stuff for a new is done, if somebody wants to fix it, just do it. Anybody wants to solve the map problem ?
For the others complain, i've personnaly tested UK in the Platinum betatest, and I was able to defend my territories, push up the italian out of Africa in about 2 months, I've strongly defended Burma and Malaya, then took all the Siam and Indochina, and landed in France till the former east/west german border. Ok mapower income is very low. But you'll have to make choice, to be carrefull not to build useless troops, and most you can choose the ministers effects to increase your manpower. In 43, with ministers and techs, my income was 0.7 a day, as in Vanilla and it worked fine.
OK the land doctrines could be a bit strange at start... You don't have to choice to swap into another better way. But this WAD.
Nationalist Spain can now join the Axis if you don't seem to defend Gibraltar with a fleet. The event fires in games with german AI and UK or US human player.
USSR always had a huge manpower. But low org and low GDE...
The correct names of provinces on a the map is effectively a choice we did, but we cannot change it in the game. If somebody actually knows how to, just do it.
Ressource events every new year... Yes, why not. It is suppose to be historical. We can change it if you don't want it.
So and the other side, what do you like in Platinum ? Because you all might understand this is not very kind to always read complains about the job you did all days in the past 3 months. I begin the understand why FT decided to leave...

We don't have (yet) a graphic pack for WIF. I'm working on it. If you want the graphics, you must re install WIF and WIF Gold, and then Platinum. Sorry...

Yes i agree with u. U guys do make this mod for free for us. Put a lot of hard work in it. It also seems those people who complains don't play a lot of other mods, because the techtree isn't that strange or difficult.
Also i like that the special units are in black (trp also use it) I can't say much about the rest because i just started my first game with GER.
But my compliments about how it runs so far, only i had one strange message:
January 22 1936: Japan failed to destroy a nuclear missile in the USA.
USA already have nuclear missile in 1936?
Oh yes, talk is cheap as the saying goes...49h said:
I can understand people complain about low MP but come on people...have a look at historical figures. SU lost 10.7 millions soldiers. Can you believe it ?? Can you just think about 10.7 millions people dead ? Of course they have a huge MP. The UK army had to disband some units because they ran out of manpower ! PLus you get a lot of units from the CW. Actually, whatever the country you play with Platinum, you still get more units than IRL. Just read books.
Concerning the graphics, well if you think my new graphics suck, feel free to make better.
A lot of people complained about that mod since its very first release. I get it. But i do believe a lot of those complains are due to the fact that this mod, unlike most others, forces you to change your way of playing. And perhaps it disturbes some of you. (just remember about people complaining about the combat system before getting used to it, enjoying it and now they say they can't go back to vanilla)
Anyway, you can change province names in config/province_names.csv. I just didn't get the time to do it.
Concerning the map, the problem didn't come from the map itself, it came from the db/province.csv.
Last post for me here btw. Good luck to the new dev team. I hope you won't give up because of negative feedbacks.

49h are you taking over development? or is this the final version till HOI III comes out?
Kahless said:
I've said I'll now assume the mod, with bugfixs and graphic pack, but I think Platinum may be the last development until HOI3, 'cause I am not a modder, there is no modder left in the team with FT leaving. So if somebody wants to join, just tell me.
Sorry guys, I've read through the instructions, and well, everything worked fine. I should have read more carefully, it clearly states to download all three parts, I've just kept downloading the one big file, which is the Gold version, instead of the three files which make platinum. I'm missing the intro as well, but that's not a big deal, after watching a few times with Gold I've skipped it anyways, besides everything works fine for me. I wonder which nation I should try first now... just so much more complex then Vanilla 
Try to survive as Poland. As combats last more you have a chance of living to see 1940 :rofl:

It is somewhat ironic to see how one of the main reproaches addressed to this mod in its first versions - the absence of a new research tree - is reappearing, directed now against the new tech tree, for the development of which, especially the land doctrines, a lot of HOI players contributed (if someone remembers the THE Project). It is even more ironic when you remember that the old land doctrines tree gives a lot of country specific (or should i say doctrine specific?) bonuses, a lot more than the new one.
As for the german CV's, their construction wasn't recommendable not even before Platinum because of 'poor' german CV concerned naval doctrines. However, you could and still can build some, for specific porpuses as:
1.If you try a Sealion in 1940 or other (in real history) suicidal missions.
2.If you manage to let them and your admirals gain experience they could become pretty effective, especially as CV's seattack is now higher.
Just a thought.
I agree that the tech tree complaints are a little weird. Vanilla HoI2 pretty much forces you to go one path in land doctrines anyway, which is the same here. I prefer this system since it's easy to view and navigate. Actually, I think that's what throws some people off, the fact that the old tree was such a clustered mess made it more involved. The new tree is just cleaner more than anything, and I wonder if it throws people out of their comfort zone. :rofl:
It's still too early to tell which is the better version, IMHO. I like that things are more streamlined in Platinum, lord knows HoI2 needs as much streamlining as possible. It's definitely the cleanest interface of any HoI2 mod I've seen to date. But the key thing is that the mod remains as much an enjoyable challenge as Gold was, I won't have a clear idea on that until I've finished a play through it. I'd think everyone should give it a good solid playthrough before jumping to any conclusions.
Though I do have one complaint: I miss the original opening song. Hearing the mixture of the great leaders speeches was awesome, the new one's not bad, but I miss the old. I may just mod that back in myself tho.

I seem to have a problem dling the mod. When I click the link in the first post it just opens a new window and has a little message that says "this website doesn't exist". I've tried every link I can find; here, www.strategium-alliance.com, and one other place i think, and none of them work. Is the link broken right now?
Why is Liberia a puppet of the UK now? The US had major involvements in Liberian Economy and politics past the 1980's
Congratulations
Hi 49h, FT,
Congratulations for all your effort. I have been following this mod since a year now and you have done a fantastic job ... please do not be too concerned about poeple writing pure negative comments ... just ignore it.
Playing the SOV, I noticed that the GER AI had an issue to take Warsaw in 1939 ... it was the last province remaning and Poland never surrender. Anybody else have experienced this?
Also is there a way to revert back the old brigade and air units icons? Maybe just by copy/paste from Gold? I find the old one more clear.

I feel a little stupid, I'm using chrome, never thought that the new beta browser might be the problem. Works perfectly for IE. Thanks
49h said:OK Guys !
Anyway, I've planned to redesign all the icons in another style specially for WIF. If some of you have seen my work in the few past months for T.H.E. Project, so I now can say I'll make an update for the WIF.
[edit] thx to Lascars for helping me to drive this topic
Hi 49h, do you have a link to you T.H.E. Project work? I checked the forums but didn't find anything. I'd love to see some examples. I'm a graphics pack junkie and pick and choose graphics from different modders to customize HOI2 game. Would love to see some of your work. Thanks and I'm enjoying the Mod, must have taken up a lot of your free time and I appreciate your commitment!

Don't let a few unappreciative people get you down. I already thanked the mod team for what they did with WIF. If there is something minor that I do not like I changed it. I suggest the others that are complainers do the same. Or offer to help out the mod team to have their influence on it.
I have learned some modding from the Wiki. Would like to help out but was having difficulty posting on Strategum Alliance. It says I am registered but it says I dont have authority to post. I never received a confirmation email to my email address on record. I asked them to resend it and still never got. Checked spam folder and not there. Maybe that is what is wrong. Hope you can help with that problem.
Again, keep up the good work and dont let a few whiners ruin your day.
so my internet is down at ,y house so i have to go to my moms to download anything.

I suppose it is the same as the last beta ... in the last beta i played three sov games and never noticed germany unable to take warshaw... i believe it is a coincidence.
