1.09 - capital encircled 'bug'

[Mr_B0narpte]

This isn't really a bug, more a complaint against the fact that all supplies are beamed from the capital, and that little has been done to alleviate this via softcoding. What can be done is to edit the moving of a major's capital if they lose all neighbouring provinces. This is particularly prevalent for the USSR, but obviously affects all nations equally in the matter.

I guess, that nothing more can be really done without hardcoding and even then, we encounter many problems. One of those minor is that in certain situations you can seriously limit enemy's ESE just by leaving a gap in province with lowest infra like in USSR (Rzhev).

 

[Mr_B0narpte]

I think soft-coded events can be made to move capitals, but I might be wrong on that as I can't seem to find them in the db/events folder.

 

[Pang Bingxun]

Capital can be moved via soft coding or savegameeedit.

I think China had that kind of event in armageddon. Just moving the capital if any of neighbouring province is lost should be quite fair solution for majors. This was the case in USSR in practice. Although Moscow officially remained capital city, Kuybyshev partially took over the role of capital.

I completely agree. Currently, if the USSR loses Moscow (at least pre-41), then it's capital is moved to the province closest to Moscow. This in effect means the frontline; which then leads to Germany taking the USSR's capital again and again, getting 25% of the Soviet's resource stockpile every time. Both this, and the situation whereby an encircled capital remains a capital, need to be resolved.

 

[PanssariPanda]

Perhaps an event should be made that gives the option to move the USSR capital from Moscow to Siberia, say, Sverdlovsk when Moscow is threatened from any direction, and a new event when its completely surrounded in case the move was rejected the first time in hope of being able to defend it.

The capital move could cost a bit of supplies and/or money and a small dissent hit.

 

[PanssariPanda]

Edited the capital move events that already existed in my mod to work better with the said circumstances.

Feel free to adopt/use them as a base if you wish so.

Thanks for sharing, those events look great!

Perhaps an event should be made that gives the option to move the USSR capital from Moscow to Siberia, say, Sverdlovsk when Moscow is threatened from any direction, and a new event when its completely surrounded in case the move was rejected the first time in hope of being able to defend it.

The capital move could cost a bit of supplies and/or money and a small dissent hit.

It could be that. You could even add following option: "stay in Moscow, but move part of administration secretly to another city". This would be most historical option. Initial dissent would be lower, a the cost of higher dissent in case of loss.
