The war merge changes sound great and I look forward to a clusterfuck ww2 happening. New difficulties are good to help people but I don’t understand why regular now gets debuffs for the player, unless they’re planning to balance the AI by just gimping the player.

The thread made me want to do a France playthrough, so I did one on road to 56. Did the little entente path and had all of Central Europe in before Germany demanded Sudetenland so the uk told Germany to gently caress off which started “ww2” and also kicked off a German civil war. It was an easy af war but uh, soviets jumped on Poland like a week after the Germans and Italians surrendered so that’s been fun. Some things that happened: I got the draft dodger event and the 80% option to succeed has to be bugged because I failed that option 5 times then clicked the 60% option and succeeded immediately. I ended up dealing with -40% recruitable pop because everyone’s draft dodging. Dem germany naval invaded Galicia then set up a beachhead, and then AI UK sent over like 25 divisions to reinforce which is maybe the first time I’ve seen the AI coordinate extremely well on supporting a naval invasion. I helped republican Spain win the civil war, then they turned around and joined the Comintern and declared war on me. Seems like they’d at least send a gift basket

It also redoes focus trees for the majors so France, USA, and ussr get some focus trees that aren’t as crap.

Kaiserreich mod updated, with a focus on South America. It’s probably the most unfun continent to play on but I gave a shot at Brazil anyway. They reduced the, extremely many, focus tree times to 56 days which is still like 11-21 days too many. They finally integrated the stability system into the base game one so it doesn’t feel disjointed anymore. As for Brazil, there’s several maluses that you start with that I don’t see a way to get rid of (and they’re kinda painful). Meanwhile, there’s several foci to get rid of inflation...but there is no inflation?? There’s no foreign policy tree so you can’t get some free cbs unless you go down the monarchist one and that only gets you one on Uruguay and Paraguay. Staying a democracy is unfun unless you cheat and allow free DoW. TLDR: if you like KR, it’s an ok update; SA is more fleshed out but still isn’t great to play bc infrastructure. If you don’t like KR, this ain’t changing minds.

buglord posted:It’s hilarious but they do have a point about democracies being self-gimping gameplaywise. Yeah, if you’ve got the generic tree, going communist or democratic gimps you compared to going fascist. Even in KR it’s almost always more fun to go full natpop since you usually get more expansion options.

Psychotic Weasel posted:The game starts to chug towards the end, all Paradox games tend to, but I've never seen some of the insane slowdowns others reported. And this is with a 4 or 5 year old CPU. I do often notice that 'fast' is faster than 'fastest' so I'll often stick with that if I do need to hurry things up. Though usually there is so much going on I'll keep the game on normal so I don't lose track of a front. I’ve had games where there’s little slowdown, and others where the days crawl by. Probably depends on mods and whether you let too many major ais stick around. As for the dev diary, I noticed that there’s an admiral screen for naval map mode similar to generals for the default mode. That’ll make finding navies much easier.

How did hoi3 even handle air/naval stuff? It’s been like 5 years since I touched that game. The only thing I do remember was that you put like 2-3 carriers, 4 battlecruisers, and a mix of LC and destroyers and this fleet could stop anything.

Does anyone even make tank destroyers in game? I’ve never had an issue against armor except maybe as soviets or Germans. The tank variants are incredibly niche so if there’s a reason to actually start building them, that could be cool.

Dreissi posted:So, people got talking about Kaiserreich again and I decided to give it another shot. Does anyone know if Canada is hard-coded to attack the Combined Syndicates when they defeat the US federal government? Canada seems to involve itself if the csa capitulates the feds. But I’ve seen the USA hold on to Washington so the csa ends up winning the civil war at the same time the USA capitulates so canada doesn’t get involved. Someone here linked the new order: last days of Europe here a few months ago and they just dropped an hour long video dev diary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXxycFtddkM The first 14 minutes is just the dev talking about all the drama they’ve dealt with. Feel free to skip it if you don’t care about them dealing with people leaking their mod.

I swear, every time I play KR the faction I’m gonna join is run by dumbasses. Play as a syndie? France declares war on Germany when its troops aren’t on the border and runs out of infantry equipment a month in. Play as a democracy or natpop? The revolution is everywhere and theres an army of French ubermen in every direction.

It feels like the Cold War mod wants to move in a direction that’s more Cold War like - less total war and more proxy war and espionage. But man, it’s super buggy, the starting oob is hoi3ish, there’s elements of the UI that’s really cluttered, and the division templates are almost universally fubar. Why the gently caress would I want my motorized divisions to have towed artillery  That said, the look and music of the mod is  and extremely well done. If nothing else, I hope it’s successful and makes paradox think about releasing an actual Cold War game. It’s a part of history that is just fantastic and I wish they’d give it a go.

There’s more focuses and it’s definitely better, but still needs a bit more time in the oven. I’d give it a shot to see the new PNW factions and see if you like em.

Dramicus posted:This would be an interesting way to simulate differences between planned and free economies. The free economies are stronger, but the government can't just tell everyone what to produce until they switch into war economy. Whereas the Fascists and Communists can tailor their production to exactly what they want, but will be overall less productive. Hmm, agreed. Then afterwards, they could add a specific amount of civilian population called capitalists, who build factories in these freer economies...

I bet you ai USA doesn't understand the new congress system and is wasting all it's pp on that and not prioritizing laws after 37 or 38. The Soviet Union still producing crap is probably because they seem to always lose al their equipment early on and just go into a tailspin after that. They just don't recover unless they are lendleased ginormous amounts of stuff.

I know it's now policy for Germany to be every wheraboos wet dream but it's to the point where it's unfun. I'm tired of every game feeling like I'm bashing my head against a wall because Germany can field 1K divisions each heavily armed and face off against literally the whole world with just Hungary and maybe Bulgaria assisting. France joined Comintern, Italy and uk stayed fascist and together. Germany stayed with Hitler. They all took down France then went to war with each other while Germany was also fighting the Soviets. Germans beat the uk off the continent then stomped Italy. Germany would have capitulated the Soviets by like 1941, but I basically kept them alive by just cheating them men and resources until I (communist America) could finally jump in by 42. I took out Japan by early 43 then had to spend the next year and half taking down the UK. I launched three fronts against the Germans, one in France, another in the Netherlands, and one against the Kiel canal. They're death stacking 20 divisions in each province and barely taking any losses despite me easily winning the battles. I just rage quit since the Soviets finally capitulated. The Soviets being gigantic push overs suck.

Gamerofthegame posted:That's odd. Germany's general, vague weakness right now is their manpower, at least in regards to the USSR and USA. By then you should have had them well beyond the ropes.    I never felt like me winning was in doubt, just that it was much more time consuming and annoying because the soviets fight like they're the italians.
