Timeframe

[unmerged(84988)]

In a hypothetical HoI3, what would you like the time frame to be? 36-47 in vanilla is a little too restricting.

I'd love to be able to play from the end of World War I all the way to maybe the 1950s. Even better, maybe play all the way from World War I to World War II and beyond.

I'd love to be able to change history on a greater scale, like do something simmilar to the AAR "Seig Hail? Nein, Kamerad!" or whichever one it is where the Nazi Party was banned, and Hitler got killed somehow.

For example, as the US, you can choose to join the league of nations, accept the original treaty of versailes, etc.

What do you think?

the problem with longer timeframes is the slow down.

right now countries are ALWAYS building troops. they only stop when they are annexed. very late in the game army sizes will simply destroy the game.

I'm ok with ANY timeframe but only if countries built 0 armies during peace timel. to prevent the player from taking advantage of this, there should be conscription events for every country that instantly give them a decent army when attacked, and remove it when the war's over.

if HOI2 had this the slow down issue would be pretty much terminated.

Maybe there's some way of preventing it, like with AI files.

Wouden't the period inbetween the World Wars be a bit dull (for most countries)?

There cant be a single campaign 1914-1950. Not just coz the AI builds too much, say if you play as Germany to win ww1 its highly unlikely for the Nazis to rise. Same with tsarist russia vs. communists.
So there must be different campaigns, say one 1908-1936, a different one starts in 1928 (right before the world economy crisis) and goes up to 1953 so there will be the opportunity to chose the NSDAP in 1933 or not..(just an example)
If you want to play as Nazi Germany from the beginn with you could still use the 1936 campaign.

thats my opinion

Perhaps we could change the current system to make large peace time armies difficult to achieve, or perhaps down right impossible.

But a slightly extended campaign would be great, say from 1930 to 1951 or some such.
