In Darkest Hour, is the 1933 starting date more suitable than the 1936 starting date? Will WW2 still happen properly etc?

Kavak posted:I think so. You get some more time to prepare, but you have to fight your way out of the Depression first. If you're playing as Germany, you can choose to elect the KPD and start the revolution, though it's pretty bare bones without mods. I was thinking of playing as Russia. Hoping it's a fun experience. Also old question but is IC building ever worth it?

YF-23 posted:It costs 5IC to build and the buildtime is a year, it's very much worth building up to a year or so before the war starts I believe. I haven't played the '33 scenario of DH much, but when I did (before the last few patches) AI America and USSR built up IC like crazy and had something like 500 effective IC by '40 or '41. That sounds amazingly fun, considering I plan to invade the US as Russia. I hope to make a Mechanised Russian army.

Should be doable at early 1934 given the nature of removing dissent.

Another Darkest Hour question. Does devaluing currency permanently destroy any lost IC?

Destroying the last of Franco's army in 1937, while bombing him with captured Condor Legion planes as the Spanish Internationale blares in the background, has already made this SU run amazing.

In Darkest Hour, in the 1936 scenario, it honestly feels like it's not worth industry building as any nation. I mean on paper it seems worthwhile but it takes 5 years for IC to pay for itself. Additionally you often have high dissent events or high starting dissent. This robs you a lot of IC anyway so you have to spend time clearing it, which wastes precious build time. Is there something I am missing or is it just better to start building/upgrading from the outset?

Honestly it feels that in the 1936 scenarios, it's just not worth IC building. Given all the dissent you have to initially clear or get later, you can't really get a stable period for construction.

Kavak posted:Pretty much- unless you're the United States or the Soviet Union, don't bother, and even then you'll still want to focus on expanding your navy and air force. Even the SU? Do you just build a only a few factories while you pay down the Great Purge dissent with the rest of your IC?

So in my Darkest Hour game, as the US, Germany has managed to actually destroy the USSR by the Summer of 1942. Before that, the Soviet Union launched a coup on Finland and turned it communist. Meanwhile Japan has managed to annex China and declared war on me a year earlier than historical on me. If this game wasn't hosed up enough, the Germans launched an attack through East Africa. I'm sorry but what the gently caress is wrong with this game? I've never seen the Axis do this well and It feels like I'm playing in some sort of horrifying fascist, alt history wank fiction.  Edit: I forgot one province Communist China declaring war on Germany in response to the attack on Norway.

Is it just me, or is combat compared in the latest version of Darkest Hour REALLY hard compared to AoD and HoI2? Fights like, say the invasion France feel a shitton more difficult than it used to be. Combine that with the (relatively) long build times and it means you also have less units to field. Is it just still simply a case of Infantry+Armour (excluding specialized units with Tactical/CAS doing Ground Surport missions? What is the best way to deal with the AI stacking men on beaches? Also do brigades make much of a differene?

Gort posted:If we're talking Germany 1936, here, I did a quick AAR on the Paradox Darkest Hour forums in the "Problems With Germany... Again" thread. OK, your AAR has helped immensely in giving me some idea how to approach things. I have a few questions though. Are MOT units and later on, Mechanized units worth it? Additionally, with nations that have massive IC spikes (USA and USSR), should you pay down that IC and THEN build poo poo or should I just pay a little bit of it down as I go while building units. I never knew torpedoes had such amazing poential as well. Nation wise I've been sort of drifting through different campaigns without finishing them. US, UK, Germany , US and USSR. I will probably continue my US game so I can play around with various ideas. Air Surport can be a tad harder when attacking Japan due to the ranges involved and the lack of proper airstrips.

Kavak posted:What the hell did you do to the world? Long story short, Muslims in Iberia overran most of Iberia, then France, then Germany. A few hundred years later, a large portion break off (Sicily). Soon after the Aztecs declare a holy war on the entire original Muslim nation. I, as Scandinavia called a Norse Crusade on them and took the land they took. This game is an amazing clusterfuck because both main denominations of Christianity struggle to keep a Moral Authority over 30. France has not existed for hundreds of years and a good portion of Europe is Shia.

CK1 is great for nostalgia value though. A world of beak faced men, near consequence free debt, MP crashing at around 5 years and horrible sound effects. Edit: Oh god I forgot about how different the Council Screen looked.

So, would you guys say that EUIV looks to be a dramatic improvement over EU3 enough to get it? Like I enjoyed EU3 but it wasn't exactly amazing for me. I don't want to get EUIV and just not touch it.

Speaking of Austria, beating the everloving poo poo out of Venice for it's high base tax provinces and eventual trade route is fantastic. It's even better when you use your Diplomats to get everyone around them turned against them. Is this sort of idea (annexing for valuable provinces/trade nodes) viable? With EU games, I generally understood them but never really had a clear idea of what to actually do. I guess missions help but still.

Patter Song posted:So were you guys aware that East vs West's time moves hourly like the other HOIs and not daily like the rest of the Paradox games? That means it's going to be literally twice as long for a 1945-1991 campaign in EVW than a 1399-1821 campaign in EU3. I'm glad we've been given a good selection of interesting and detailed leaders to tide us through those long years.
