War Effort - Operation Tungsten [1.12.6 - Checksum a6ba]

[Viktor BM]

If true, that explains so much :/

Edit: Just started a game as Haiti and took no actions - after a few weeks the USSR starts improving relations with Romania. For some reason the UK is lend-leasing rifles to Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa.

Because these are her puppets) And because Lend-Lease reduces autonomy, and they also have weak production, and they don't have enough weapons to create troops.

But why does AI never build divisions in puppets for itself??

I'm unsure if this is something you're already working on or not, but please do something about late game lag. It becomes a slog playing after 1943 and almost impossible after 1945.

As far as I can tell, the problem is in the game engine, which is not aware that there are multi-core processors, and does not know how to parallelize tasks. I can only advise an upgrade of the processor.
for example : ryzen 7 5700x is enough for me to play quietly in the 48th year. and further

Oh soviets won't bust all your spies in a week anymore. i like that.

There are mods that will limit the number of divisions that irrelevant minors will field. The one I use is called "AI Division Limiter." Besides upgrading your processor, that's the best way to improve mid/late game performance. I have an i9 but becomes noticeable in 1945 or so without the mod. Not ironman compatible, though.

I'm hoping that fixes for the USSR's AI (tiny 200-division army by Barbarossa, never kills Trotsky, barely recruits any ministers for the government) make it into some future patches. I'm sure the USSR's AI has been better than this in the past.

It's because they're making 9/3's they can't keep up with production. You might have noticed that Germany has a lot of divisions now and that's because I have noticed that they make 9/1's.

- Forming the ottoman empire without BftB now grants a core on Cairo. Cairo is now required and cored for the respective decisions in BftB

Well wouldn´t it be not better having a option to fully get rid of this/fixing that butter then having now Cairo as option?

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...r-stays-negative-on-15-never-changes.1478807/

If you look at the Ottoman Path of Turkey in BftB you have to fight and even conquer Cairo from United Kingdom. In my opinion that Modifier is really crippling the Game Experience in his current stage of the Game.

Remove it as a National Spirit or atleast give the option to eliminate it through a focus Path.

 

[Merrivale]

Well, since you specifically asked....message settings It remains easily the most popular suggestion in the suggestion forum. Sounds like something that would be up the war effort's alley, UI/UX improvements.

 

[HmJ_JP]

Love how the developers keep fine-tuning the game, and nothing is definitive. Well done.

 

[IndigoRage]

I'm really glad to see a "custodian team", but I think it could be made a little more clear that this post has something to do with HoI4, I was ignoring this post because I thought it was just a game Paradox was publishing at first.

Cheers for all the bugfixes, balance tweaks and other improvements Arheo and team

It may seem small but:

"You are once again able to click and shift-click to set the priority on production line elements, using the priority frame indicator"

is something I used to use all the time before it had its holiday, and it's great to see it back in the mix That's not necessarily my favourite change, but thought it was worth mentioning as one of those changes that, on the face of it, seem small, but when added together with other similar improvements make a big difference to enjoyment

As for a pic, for Operation Tungsten, have a pic of a Fairey Barrucuda (the main strike aircraft for the operation in question) taking off for a strike against Tirpitz from HMS Furious! It's technically from Operation Mascot (a sequel to Tungsten) but hopefully captures some of the vibe Image from Carrier Operations in World War II.

 

[Idle America]

After waiting so long, I just want that Canadian Newfoundland Referendum decision for Canada, in 1945. Historically Britain wanted Canada to safeguard the Caribbean holdings and such.

I wouldn't mind seeing Newfoundland as a separate nation in-game, even if its existence was only de jure by that point. If the referendum is included regardless, I'd like an event where the US decides whether to seek further cooperation or to stick with the basing rights, like in real life.

Hello guys I was lately watching Taureor's communist Poland video. He created collaboration government on Germany, annexed it and when he released he gave away his cores as well.
Can we have modify on this somehow?

If you share cores with a puppet you are gonna release (or just Collab) you should be able to demand only "your own cores" somehow.

When you make France a puppet as Germany you don't get to keep your cores even after taking the focus to core Alsace-Lorraine and Luxembourg too. tbh I wish we were just able to draw how we want to release our puppets like client states in EU4 or something.

- Cairo is now required to form Arabia, and is appropriately cored by the same decision
- Forming the ottoman empire without BftB now grants a core on Cairo. Cairo is now required and cored for the respective decisions in BftB
- Constantinople and Amasya are now cored by the Form Persia decision
- Ticino is now cored by the HRE decision
- Forming Byzantium without BftB will now appropriately grant cores on Constantinople and Amasya. Victory in Egypt and Tunis now requires and grants core on Cairo
- Forming Macedonia now requires and grants cores on Istanbul, Amasya, Van, and Cairo

Thanks for fixing this missing cores. However, there are still some missing cores in other formable nations. Here you have a list:

Al-Andalus:
Recreate the Umayyad Caliphate: Missing cores in Cairo (907), Aden (659) and Qatar (765)
The Northern Expansion: Missing cores in Van (800), Abkhazia (826), Kabardino-Balkaria (827), North Ossetia (828) and Chechnya-Ingushetia (821)

Arabia:
Missing cores in Yemen (293), Oman (294), Qatar (765), Hatay (799), Kassala (883) and Sidi Ifni (783).

Greater Indonesian Confederacy:
Missing core in Portuguese Timor (721).

Macedonian Empire:
Missing core in Hatay (799). Also is given a core without relation in Gibraltar (118).

Persian Empire:
Missing core in Van (800), Hatay (799) and Cairo (907). Also is given a core without relation in Gibraltar (118).

European Union:
Missing core in Pyrénées-Atlantique (806).

Also, may I suggest a rework of this formable nation, not requiring states like Zara (163), Königsberg (763) or the eastern states in Germany. And maybe could have subsequent decisions to also core next countries that over time would be part of the UE before the fall of Communism (UK, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Greece, Denmark, Austria, Sweden, etc.)

I'm glad you looked at Hungary, but it would be good if you changed the military focus a bit, say when we do focus on home defense, we would get a 2.50% recruitable manpower national spirit, and in mobile warfare, some armored speed and attack buff.
And support domestic industry and support urbanization would only be a 35-day focus.
In the Proclamation of Great Hungary focus, we receive decisions on the territory of the former Hungarian kingdom as an example
West-East Slovakia, Banat, Croatia, Dalmatia, Ruthenia can be core area if cooperation in the areas reaches 50%.
And if Hungary becomes a German puppet, the fascist leader should be Ferenc Szálasi.
And if there were a little more cities in Hungary, not just 3, that wouldn't be bad either

 

[Oksel1000]

Is it possible to add something very simple to the game:

Yugoslavia

Change the name of the Materiel Designer from Artillery Company to Vistad
Change the name of the Materiel Designer from Motorization Company to IMR
Change the name of the Industrial Concern to VTZ
Change the name of Electronic Concern to Sever

These are all historical names (Vistad from Visegrad, Industrija motora Rakovica or IMR in Belgrade, Vojnotehnicki Zavod in Kragujevac and Sever in Subotica).

Also it would be nice that you change the Chiefs of Army so that you cannot have Josip Broz Tito unless Yugoslavia is communist. The same goes for Arso Jovanovic in the Military High Command since he is also a communist. Also if you do go the communist path it would be impossible to get Draza Mihajlovic or Milutin Nedic as chiefs of army.

This would all be really easy to change I think. If stuff can be added then it would be great to add a few more generals for both communists and monarchists, but I think firstly you would need to add a War Industrialist Nikola Stankovic (picture included in the post). I guess I also have ideas for focuses but perhaps that would be too much to suggest changes.

I was hoping that the Improve Relations and Italian Volunteers bugs had been fixed in this patch, but just left out of the patch notes. No such luck, unfortunately.

These are both new bugs from BBA, so it would be great to get them fixed while the current version of the game is still receiving major updates.

My bug reports are below, but still have not been tagged as "Confirmed" or "Under Review". If you agree, please comment or upvote so these get the visibility needed to get attention from the Devs. Thanks.

If I were to propose necessary focuses for Yugoslavia it would be:

Collectivization Process and the Five year Plan for the Communist path (same as in the USSR). Right now the Communist path is very limited.

Also since Yugoslavia had two resistance movements and was the only country in WW2 that practically liberated itself I think that like Poland or the Netherlands it should have the option for focuses that are available after the country has capitulated like what Poland has with Prepare for the Inevitable. For example to add some
offmap factories, infantry equipment and also some buffs for division attack and defense on core territories. Yugoslavia could also receive foreign support from the Allies or the USSR. The second thing would be a focus that would raise resistance to 90 in the Bosnian provinces. Then I think everything would be historically more accurate.

Also one more thing I noticed - I played the game many times and Independent state of Croatia is very rarely formed. I think it is very strange.

@Arheo

It appears multiplayer lobbies from North America are again invisible to European players. I had experienced this issue twice today, while prior to the patch, the issue was nonexistent
