Is there any way to increase the number of tech teams above 5 in Arma? I have seen a number of threads about doing this in AoD, but as I have Arma those techniques do not work at all (no "parches" file exists).

And yes, I know that increasing the number of tech teams can unbalance the game, and cause non-historical situations, etc. Also I know the IC requirements for the tech slots as well. I am just trying to figure out if there is a way to do it w/Arma as opposed to AoD. Thanks!
 
Thanks for the info Martin! I will keep my eye on DH...seems like most IC players are running from AoD (at least those that post on the forums), while I am on Arma. Ultimately for me the game is awesome, except for the unrealistic army organization system. HoI3 looks to have done that better, but given the detraction I have heard about it, I am sticking w/HoI2 & the awesome mod/add on/stand alone work that is being done!
 
Just purchased IC and attached to Arma, followed the instructions given in previous threads and installed Patches 1.02 to both games. While admiring the graphics of the game I noticed that there is only one tech slot when you begin at 1933. Is that typical for that time period or had I made an error when downloading the games. I spent hours going through each thread in hopes of finding the answer. Unfortunately, only discovered one other player that asked the same question without a reply. Your assistance is appreciated.
 
Nope something must have gone wrong with your installation. Just bought IC yesterday and installed 1.03 beta6 on arma 1.02. Beginning in '33 as GER with 5 slots.
Now i think of it there is an options executable where you can set the number of tech teams up to 5. It pops up after installation, but you can run it from your main game folder. Its called Iron_cross_setup. Hope this helps and welcome to the forums.
 
Oorlog,

Thank you for your quick response. I had a feeling it must have been an error, especially after reading everyone's threads. I will attempt to see if it is possible to change the tech teams manually. Again, thank you
 
U only get a max of 5 tech slots in Arma with or without IC. But with AOD u have 8 tech slots but it gets reduced to 5 with IC. IC works a lot better with Arma but improves AOD a bit as well. The IC setup exe for Arma has got the option to increase tech slots but i dont think it works as ive put 7 slots but still only had 5.

Click to expand...

With 1.03beta you can have 20 slots in arma-ic ;)
 
ill have to reinstall Arma and try the 1.03 b patch. For some reason Arma+IC came up as not a win32 program after i added IC to AOD. AOD isnt even in the same folder as Arma so dont know why it got affected by having IC on both games at the same time. I think what happend was that Arma+IC had the same desktop icon as AOD+IC and it stopped Arma from working. Or it replaced some of Arma program when it installed IC to AOD. AOD is in program files x86 as it would not let me put it anywhere else from the download menu. Arma was loaded from disk and put in its own folder on C drive not in programs files x86. But Arma is a pain to reinstall lol. 1st i have to install HOI2. Patch it up. Then install doomsday and patch that up. Then install Arma and patch that up. then download IC and install that. Each part of the game has to be patched by adding each patch 1 at a time not just add the last patch or it wont work. Its all the downloading of each patch that takes the time.
 
I think u need at least 6 slots pref 7. With 5 slots u cant do all the research u need too. IE u need an extra slot for nuke research or doctrines. If u have to use 1 slot for nukes then u have to lose 1 from other essential research. Same with doctrines. u cant afford to neglect any research as u need techs from diff areas to build better units. IE u need to get ur industy techs up to get better inf. Arm , ships and planes. U also need doctines to improve them as well. 5 slots just isnt enough to do all the research u need. Im in 44 now and i still havnt even stared on nukes as i havnt had any free slots to use.
I had to stop industry research to do turbo jets. Sea and air doctrines have only had a little bit of research done cause i didnt have enough slots. but land doctrines has nearly been completed. Think i have about 4 techs left in there till i can do post war economy.
Inf r at modern but havnt even started on MOT and Mech yet. Inf r at the max they can go for now. But when i can free up a slot for industry ill be able to get IFV inf, which r the best units u can have. But u need post war econmy to get them but at 1st it ruins the economy till u can do the next research in industry which will improve it again. IC takes a big hit with post war economy and IC will fall. So u will need to research all the post war industry techs to recover the loss before u can do anything else. Thats were having more than 5 slots helps the most. But u will get a lot of new stuff to research in the other areas as well.
AOD has the most slots. Think its 8. But it gets reduced to 5 with IC on it.
 
i tihnk 8 is good as well cos when i look at the ai tech stuff they have more than research than i did (me germany looking at russia) and it looks like im more a backward country than russia was in rl but for it ok since its ai and they need all the tech stuff to try and beat me.
 
I believe 5 is the best because it forces you to choose wisely,
and is is balanced and fair for minors, too.

Imagine 10 tech teams in a game from 1933 till 1943.

Now how would the US or Germany be compared to Canada and Spain?
Not to mention Australia, SA, China or even Peru.
Totally unbalanced.
