World War Wednesday!

[Vidkjaer]

Sigh...over 5 hours of trying to watch over over two days, and finally managed to finish the 3rd stream.

Twitch is goddamn absolute friggin horrible. It is pathetic, terrible and lags like hell. It took me 10 minutes to buffer every 2-3 minute of stream, even on low quality and a decent connection.

And what makes them take 5-6 days to upload the same video on Youtube? Especially given that it is just one video? Youtube at least works...unlike that god-horrible website.

I dont have an issue with the speed on Twitch other than it is not easy to rewind og forward a little bit as it is in YouTube. But the speed is not a problem? (I am sitting in Denmark)

This problem usally lays within internet explorer files corrupt or windows installation and as last resort try to update grafic driver!

When one cannot see the latest of paradox we all must unite and solve this problem!

@Nordlander I think that twitch always was slower than youtube so in my opinion it is better for the most of us to watch it on yt

 

[Voigt]

Any chance for a steam weekend with open beta? Just 2 days? Even only for preorder? Or preorder at all? Anything?

I think Paradox will be straight forward, and instead of an "Open Beta Weekend", they will just release a demo one week prior release, like they did with EU IV.
And releasing a demo, instead of an "open beta" is, as it should be.

Great. Now I REALLY want a Daiteikoku crossover mod...

 

[LostinSpice]

Are volunteers and expedition forces going to allow aircraft as well on release of the game?

 

[LostinSpice]

Can air missions be pinpointed onto a single province? Example - can you focus ground attacks on divisions in one province next to your border to help make the breakthrough?

 

[LostinSpice]

Can you move AA from province to province? Same for Radar.

 

[Pavelius6]

It is allowed to add post after post in rules of forum (i dont remember but in tge most of the forums it is)?

Yes.

No. Only russia got some NF to move factories.

Don't know but I suddenly had a lot of questions in my head but not all at once. There are massive gaps between each post so I'm ok with it. Don't worry I'm off out now so won't be posting for a while!

I think Podcat mentioned in an early DD that you can concentrate bombing on a province or state.

Edit: Okay it was not Podcat and hidden in DD 5, so stuff could have changed.

3) AA/IC is at the State level, several states make up a Strategic Region, and you can set Prios as to what State you want to bomb. Land units are still in Provinces.

There was AI problem in the game in stream 3? Sorry, I have not been up to date but was there a forum uproar or something?

What were the main issues? Soviets did arrive in large numbers during the last few minutes...or is it about Germany and Poland sitting idle?

 

[Holdy]

They said, they used an AI build, where the military AI was disabled. Whiz said it in the "World War Wednesday" thread.

An uproar is an understatement. People were losing and claiming q1 2017 because of what they saw.

Just as understated as: There's a "slight" delay in HoI4 release date.

 

[JoshRTR]

This is true. Haha.

For anyone who still can't get twitch working:
(sry for bad quality...)

Here is the beginning war with Soviet Union. As you can see, the AI never positioned units on the eastern border, the units near Leningrad were sitting there from the start date in 1936. Even without any functional high level AI, the units near Leningrad managed to hold out in the city for the entire play through, at least August of 1940 - that's good to see imo.

Germany declares war with Poland, without any troops in position. Notice the 140+ divisions stationed back near Berlin, they'll stay there for the rest of the game .

Here's the capture of Moscow. Notice the 170-180 Soviet divisions sitting just to the east of the city.

Here's a final look at the map. You can see that the German AI never moved.

So yeah, it's pretty obvious that any high level military AI was non-functional or turned off.
