What does my IC change for no reason?

[unmerged(44611)]

Another German Grand campaign. 1/1/36

I load my game. I have 170 IC.
I load it again. I have 156.
I load it again I have 170.
I load it again I have 156 until Jan 6 when it becomes 170. No resource issues. No changes.
WTF?

When you first load up the game, it doesn't apply IC modifiers until the next day. Could it be that?

 

[unmerged(44611)]

If that is the case it does this at random. Because it changes when I load, not the next day, although it does sometimes, and sometimes not for several days.

are you being bombed?

What IC. Base or modified?

On 1/1/36, you should still be under the effects of the Occupied Rhineland (until you remove the modifier by marching into Cologne). It sounds like this modifier is not being recognized consistently. Not sure why... I have NEVER had this problem. Is your game modded?

I triggered the Rhineland event on day 1. But my IC still seemed to change between 156 and 170 in save/loads several times later. Base is 142. I changed a few ministers and such. But I saved and reloaded after this and the IC still just seemed to change for no reason. I could reload it once an dhvae 170, change nothing reload again and get 156. The right number seems to be 170. And no I am not being bombed. The game is just starting. No pattern emerging either.

That's a difference of 10% (14 points). Are your Ministers consistent across reloads? Schact could be toggling in-and-out...

I've never seen this, but it looks like a random event. If it didn't fire on the first day it would check again on 1/6/36.

EDIT: It's a change in the Armaments minister. 10% of 142 is 14.

I noticed that with US and my latest Japan game also. But I did not investigate it. I know that if I have a total IC, then save my game, and reload, it will sometimes be different after reload.

If you hover your mouse over your IC total on the upper right corner, and wait a few seconds, you will have the details of the IC and the modifiers, like minister, tech,.... Could be a good idea to compare one with 156 and one with 170.
