So what does it mean when theres a DIVISION NOT READY -20% malus on the plan execute button? incomplete planning bonus? also is there any way to see the planning bonus? Its not readily apparent but im still getting used to the interface.

Krataar posted:Is there a list of what divisions people use and what for anywhere? i pretty much just use default infantry with artillery and anti tank guns for line holding (6-9 infantry blocks with at and artillery on the line if they arnt already in a support slot by default) and mixed motorized/tank units for offencive work (5 or so tanks, with 3-4 motorized and sp artillary if i can spare it, otherwise artillery is in a support block to avoid slowing the unit down.

Krataar posted:Ok last question. How do infantry, motorized, and mechanized correlate to each other? Slow, med, fast? infantry: Mans on foot, slow and cheap motorized: Mans on trukks, fast and less cheap Mechanized: Mans on armored trukks medium speed and pricy but more durable

My france game is about to become a cluster gently caress in the best way possible. Heres the situation: Im in the allies. The allies are at war with the axis over poland, and the Comintern over finland I almost knocked out the Italians, but then the soviets rolled on up and after a few months of mountain warfare in central italy I made a skin of my teeth evacuation of the army there. The reds are the only thing holding the italian front together and they have a not insignificant presence along the Maginot line. Broseph Stalins about to finish the "declare war on japan" focus throwing him into a war with the axis, who currently control all his supply lines Thank you for handing me the war you stupid, paraniod fuckwit.

You also need civilian factories for repairing things. Not that big an issue normally tbh, but when you like me and facing down the combined airforce of the USSR, Germany, Italy, and japan the ability to get your factories up an running fast is pretty drat nice.

My only real complaint is that my planned offensives don't concentrate my tanks to make a break through, instead have 2 support an infantry attack while 13 armor divisions chill on the other end of the line

Kaza42 posted:One thing that seems like it would be a lot of fun, and doable on modern hardware, is to have persistent AI players. At the start, you would have just regular AI controlling all non-player stuff as normal. But then, as you play it saves some of the AI instances you play against. That Britain that launched an invasion of Italy and nearly ruined your plans? It's now ChapBot, and you can assign it to play any AI nation in your games, and it will keep learning. Did you beat it with tanks last game? It knows you like tanks, and will integrate more AT assets next time. Are you a huge fan of air warfare? It remembers facing down your planes, and next game it will build more fighters or AA assets. It wouldn't have to be any smarter than current AI, just have a save file of various modifiers or weights. Paradox is great at emergent narratives, so giving a name to rear end in a top hat France and have it actively undermine your favorite strategies would make it even better. Of course, you can flip a switch to turn it off in the options if you're boring and prefer vanilla AI at all times. Reminds me of Age of Empires 3, where the AIs would trash talk you based on your last match with them. No gameplay effects, but having on go "Oh reducing the difficulty are you?  " when you started up a round was cool

Farecoal posted:Steam reviews are saying there's a lot of oversimplification in the game design and there's a lot of problems with the AI; true? Partially. The game is not oversimplified, those are just grognards bitching that its acessable. There are however Ai issues that can make the game too easy, most key being screwups in research priorities and division design. Not a bad thing if your new to the series though, since it gives you time to get used to the systems.

Im playing an irangame and its absurd. Im the Neo-Persian empire, currently getting stuck in southeast asia while also conquering Africa. The Germans ruled most of Europe for a time, trouncing communist france and pushing the polish alliance up to estonia. Then the british did a naval invasion, liberated denmark, and took berlin. The french commune has come back from the brink stronger then ever and is now making headway into fascist spain. The US and USSR for their part just sit by felling very lucky that they're not inivolved in any of this. Ive gotten all of africa except the west, so I think Ill relocate my army to spain and see how my elite modern armor shock force lead by a skill 8 with a shitton of skills general does against non colonial armies since ive gotten all the resources i need out of that continent. This campagin has also made me appreiate cavalry. They are super good when you dont have a lot of industry and are fighting similar powers.

Kilravock posted:Yeah but you can do the same with a surface fleet using CV's or with land based air support while only losing 4 or 5 tier 1 DD's in the same kind of battle. And the surface fleet can provide shore bombardment and raid too. ive had a naval invasion supported only by subs and they got a shore bombardment bonus And big whoop, 2 months and those subs will be replaced by newer models

I only really use line artillery with basic infantry. It messes up the terrain bonuses which eliminates the point of marines and mountaineers, and the firepower skill tree can make the rig loss support artillery gives you basically ignorable.

The best part was that the US was like "lol this is a fake message by the british to get us into there war" then the german ambassador basically went "no no, its legit." Besides, ultimatly the US was the only power to win WW1 because all the other powers lost a whole generation for no real gain at best, while the US made a gently caress ton of money selling them poo poo.

spectralent posted:Oooookay, I am positive I couldn't do that that as Hungary or Poland sans Danzig some time ago. Maybe that's changed or I was missing something; I know I restarted my polish game after it after I realised that if I gave up my port I was basically hosed on imports forever. How's your air force? Use Tac bombers on casmode to lock them into there mountains while punching through the gaps where there arnt mountains. Bring plenty of mountaineers to mop up/complete any encirclements. I had 2 armored units supported by cavalry to perform breakthroughs on desert and plain tiles.
