It seems the games crashes each time around the end of September in the 1939 scenario.

Also there some odd orders of battle placements and units for the UK in 1939 scenario:

Lots of Indian Infantry in the UK, the majority of UK Fighter Command is in Bermuda (!)

Is scyths graphics compatible with this?

Apart from this it looks great and I cant wait to get further in the game, many thanks,

I'm using IC with AoD 1.04.

I've noticed a few bugs/gameplay problems:

A) In my normal/normal handsoff game (starting at 1939), after beating France and the Low Countries Germany proceeds to stack 110 divisions in Rostock. It doesn't move them in preparation of Barbarossa or for attacking Yugoslavia. Even when the Barbarossa event fires it doesn't move the troops. Also, Germany has somewhat poor troop positioning in general (odd 13 stack army in southern Norway doing nothing, barely garrisons beaches, has troops in the middle of Germany for no reason, etc.)

B) AI Japan gets crushed by China every single game because while it makes good progress moving south, it leaves few troops behind and the 30+ troops that Communist China has + other Nationalist troops quickly cut the Japanese armies in two and mop them up. Eventually they reach Manchuria and then Korea.

Great game but these are some huge issues that need to get cleaned up. I've seen Italian AI take Malta and invade Israel and I've seen the UK land in Italy, both of which are brilliant, but on the other hand you have AI Germany stacking 110 troops in a useless province while the homeland is being invaded.
 
aod 1.5

The 1939 scenario is imbalanced. Like Bamilus said chinese easily crash japanese forces.
Btw, CommChina have around 40 IC. Wtf, its totally unhistoric
In early september USSR gets partial mobilisation event which gives 600 IC (germany got 300 IC). Its kinda too much dont you think?
 
It seems the games crashes each time around the end of September in the 1939 scenario.

I also had this crash but I reloaded and it didn't apear anymore, somehow. I am using AoD 1.5.

1. I had a crash when the event to invade Etihiopia fired, so I had to DoW manually for it to work. (I am playing Italy from 1933).

2. Germany seems to be getting stuck in Poland and not advancing anywhere (happened in 4 playthroughs).

3. Cooperation events between UK and USA seems to a little bugged. USA is getting the one UK is supposed to have and UK the one USA is supposed to have.

4. When does Stalin become Head of the Government? It's late 1941 and still Vjatjeslav Molotov as HoG.

Anyway, great expansion!

I´m using Iron Cross on AoD 1.05.

I started 1933.
Everything went fine (except some funny things i´ll explain later) until I (Germany (normal/furious)) invaded Poland.
Well...what should i say? I think something went very wrong because Polish infantry (lvl3) simply crushed my tankdivisions (mix of light and medium tanks) and also my infantry (lvl4) was easily pushed back. Losses are very strange. My losses during battles are 10-20times higher than Polish ones. Even Polish counterattacks with only few divisions are causing heavy causulties. I was able to conquer the German cores in Poland...i had nearly 130.000 dead. Polish losses were about 10.000...only some encirclements of overmotivated Polish troops racing for Berlin raised it to 120.000. :D This took me more than 1month.
I have about 150 fully upgraded divisions (no brigades) against 74 obsolete Polish ones.
I can offer a save game from october 11th and also some screenshots if wanted. :)

The other things:
The river next to Bremen should be "Weser" not "Wesser".
"Starlsund" should be "Stralsund"
An Event for the UK (Retirement of the Old Guard) slept many German leaders.
Well...and of course the German translation...it gave me some good laughs. *g*

But i like the game very much. :)

Excuse me for my bad english.

You'll need brigades on your units, but I've noticed this as well. Attacking is damn near impossible unless you've already destroyed their organization entirely. Even then the loses are high. The Italians got owned by the Ethiopians and for some reason Switzerland has some motorized brigades by 1936 (why, and how?!).
 
Yes...I know about the brigades. But I wanted to know the stats of all before building them. :D So the brigades weren´t ready. First Try and so. *g*
But the Polish Divisions had also only few brigades(maybe 10-15%). ;) So that can´t be the reason why I lose a battle.
Like I said: my troops are way better. I also choosed to go for the infantry which increased my stats of the inf.
So I´m fighting 5lvl3 inf equiped with 1 heavy art with my 15divs...in plains...and still lose. Even when I win this battle, I´ll have 10k casulties while the enemy will have maybe 500.
 
In some proves, playing with Germany (in the AoD version), the human have many problems with some countries, but when the AI play with this countries don't have any problem
 
4. When does Stalin become Head of the Government? It's late 1941 and still Vjatjeslav Molotov as HoG.
As I learned in the mod34 thread, Molotov is the "official" HoG of USSR at that time. If you want stalin just play around with your ideology sliders to pop him into place (worked on HoI2).

Yes, but the Italian AI seems to have the same problem... losing to the technologically inferior and out numbered Ethiopians. It seems something is wrong with AOD battles.

I never seen that in my proves

Stalin : 6 may 1941 to HoG via event
 
AoD 1.5: I think you are forget to rewrite the ministers starting dates. I have startad a campaing as Hungary and Germany in 1933, but I can't change any ministers!
 
So my repord for AOD 1.05 (Gamersgate, WRWR Checksum) with my 1933 start:
1.
Everything went fine (except some funny things i´ll explain later) until I (Germany (normal/furious)) invaded Poland.

I think something went very wrong because Polish infantry (lvl3) simply crushed my tankdivisions (mix of light and medium tanks) and also my infantry (lvl4) was easily pushed back.

Polish losses were about 10.000...only some encirclements of overmotivated Polish troops racing for Berlin raised it to 120.000.
Same for me, attacking with 24 units (HQ General supports 22 units) from 2 regions with superior doctrines, level and brigades against 4 polish units. 6 Tacs giving me air support and it seems I'm still only barley winning.
Germany seems to be getting stuck in Poland and not advancing anywhere (happened in 4 playthroughs).
That seems to prove this point.
2. Day and night cycles are reversed. In poland it's night from 5am - 5pm and day for the rest of the... well night.
3. I have 10 research slots. I don't know if thats a bug, but I heard something about only 5 slots. I'm not that far ahead of historical research since I started with only 5 slots. But the USA starting with 10 slots from the start is ridiculously far ahead. I'm seriously afraid to be nuked in 42 or 43 ( Well maybe the build time for reactors will slow them down)

2 - I will test that
3- This is not normal. The Iron Cross put the limit in 5 slots. Prove to reinstall again. In my AoD 1.05, I have 5 slots (with usa, ger,...)

It took me 3 years to eliminate Poland. AOD 1.05 Germany 1933 Normal/normal

<-- I have the very same problem. There is something wrong with the game mechanics. I'm an experienced HoI 2 player and have way more troops each equipped with brigades and so on - and still the Polish are fighting as if each of them was a mixture of Rambo-Terminator-Darth Vader-type of guy. AOD 1.05 Germany normal / normal here as well!
