I'm really enjoying playing through the updated old content. After 3000 hours in the game I'm still having fun!

 

[Hoi Neuling]

Exactly Culann. That´s what I mean with the very good Repairing / Reworking / Upgrading-Plan for the old Content before new Content comes in.

Since Ethiopia is finally getting some love...Any chance the communist union of africa branch gets a rebalance? As anarchists its nearly impossible to do anything due to abysmal pp gain and you need way too much of it still. There is also one of the focuses that actually gives a -10% pp hit making it even worse. Hard to do anything really making whole branch useless. (Anarchist spain suffers from the same problem still - would be nice if it gets looked at).

As always, we very much appreciate your continued feedback and suggestions! If you encounter any bugs, please feel free to submit a ticket and we'll do our best to tackle it.

That is it for us today, make sure to have a great Weekend!

But Tim Buck was a devout Stalinist… if you’re going to make that path, at least put a Trotskyite member of the CPC in power instead of Buck… and y’all should do a Trotskyite/Stalinist path for USA, Browder Trotskyite, William Z Foster Stalinist…. As well as swap Maurice rose for Patton in the American Civil War

No se si es mucho pedir, pero soy de los que le gustan los retos, sería algo emocionante que pusieran nuevas sucursales en Sudamérica en los accesos después de reunificar las antiguas colonias, por ejemplo, la Gran Colombia, seria bueno tener una sucursal para ese pais u otros paises similares en la antiguedad al de sudamerica

Seems like a rather 'small' bug to me, but immersion breaking (seeing all the ww1 plane icons in the combat), and really annoying when dealing with lend-lease and aircraft equipment in general.

Stellaris, EU4, and CK2 sucked up some my time. I’ll decline to comment on the sum of the played time is.

 

[FindFloppies]

- When adding a production line, initial efficiency is now only set for slots that have an active factory.

Was this supposed to change when I start a game and move factories around before hitting unpause, now my production efficiency drops on lines where I added factories?

That's what that means, yes.

PDXKatten already said on this thread that they're looking in to it

 

[CaptainAllen]

I have the same issue, after initially chosen a spy, army display pops up if trying to click the spy again.

Try using the bottom right button for spy interface. Then you can select the spies.

Thank you!

 

[bluntpencil2001]

Potentially in need of a fix - volunteers being sent to a nation which collapses into civil war.

For example, if I send volunteers, as the USSR, to Ethiopia because I want to shoot Italian fascists, my volunteers will join fascist rebels if they kick out the government. It'd be good for an option to pick a side came up.

Also, if Italy fractures into civil war, this screws with Ethiopia in all sorts of ways.

 

[Umbosch]

I have probs to change my inf unti (picture 1) in a marine unit (picture 2). I must downgrade first (picture 3).

I have told you at page 5 that i can't change my standard units in special units. Ok. I was not 100% correct. Self with downgrade in a small unit it works not. My failure. But i can't understand why you not fix it. I can build special units but i can't change in it. Its unplayable for my strategy as Finland and Manchukuo. Thats why i leave the beta then. One day later you make the beta official. Linguist, Blockade Runner and now this. Why you make me the game heavy?

Is it possible that you simply would exceed you special unit limit with that action? The game didn't check the limit in the past when upgrading, but that was not intended and that oversight/exploit was corrected with this patch (see under bug fixes; item #5).

I don't know what you are refering to with Linguist and Blade Runner; I would recommend to explain in detail what the issue is here, as I'm not sure if a dev understands it either when reading it.

You can test it fast. Go to germany. There is one special unit. You can build more. But you can't change one normal unit in a second special unit. When you can build it! Why you can't change it? I have test it with all mods out. I think the game check work not correct. I need it for my strategy to landing with marines and then change in mountainers. Or change the standard unit when i tech this to make other invasions better. I mean before i leave the beta i have play Manchukuo and i was start my invasion strategy east and south coast and then come a message "you cant change this. You have reach the limit". I have 35 units no special unit, the special unit build was not inproved and can't chance? Now army spirit tip of the spear in not 100% more usefull.

Linguistbug was reportet 2 days after realse. That was february 2020. They have say they take ist to the list. But they never fix it. Now we have march 2023. I can understand that some things be lost. But there was more as one bugreport in this time. There was a selffix. But this work no more with the last dlc. Linguist works how doppelagent. But you earn more as one countryflag at operation. It was important for my espionage strategy then it save spy live and operationcost. The was other spybugs how when you have bonus at operation costs that you need no more 3 plaines or 1 factory but 2,5 and 0,7 are the same how 3 plaines and 1 factory for the game. It's hard engouh there is no break or report when you spy die or mission complete!

Blockaderunner is not earnable. It was reportet but i have no checked the date. Its trigger me not to hard how linguist or the negativ stability or warsupport with manchukuo and all the bugs at the china shared national focus. I think its a good skill for small nation they will not use submarines for hit and run. But for what should i take navy spirit Convoy warfare to push blockade runner when i can't earnable it. There is a 50% change for new captains. Last test i get 5 seawolfs, 2 with out skills and the eight was blockade runner.

I would recommend making a bug report then with your save, as that doesn't sound like it is intended. Might be a side effect of the change I mentioned.

Indeed, there is a bug report (not yet dev tagged) here: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...-any-blockade-runner-xp-1-11-12-22d5.1537399/

There is a 50% change for new captains. Last test i get 5 seawolfs, 2 with out skills and the eight was blockade runner.

At least those part doesn't sound buggy though - only 1 out 8 is easily possible even with a 50% chance.
