Stupid question, but does the checksum remain the same? I just installed it into Arm1.2 without any issues but the Arm1.2 checksum is unchanged. And I don't see any visible changes as far as the game indicating that it's running under DAIM. I realize that no GFXs have been changed...So, only the AI is changed/improved "behind the scenes?"
The checksum remains the same, only the AI is changed.

Good news then. And looks like my install went flawlessly. Can't wait to start playing tonight after work.

Is normal/normal the preferred setting?
 
If you are somewhat experienced in HoI and play one of the major countries, I'd play at hard/aggressive (although the aggressiveness setting is said to make no difference).

As long as the "DAIM installed" messages pop up after 24 game hours, the installation should be fine. :)

Thanks for your help and quick responses. I'll post my thoughts on DAIM in the other thread as soon as I get a good feel for the MOD.

IMO normal with the best AI (furious?) is the best combo, normal in order to have no IC penalties same for player and AI, and furious because its basicaly the same thing, u just have higher chance of actually enjoying the game...

DAIM is basically pretty good mod, the only thing i dislike is AIs not making enough navy and also somewhat lower AI "interest" in waging war after the 1936-1945. To elaborate, if u play as Germany for example, ull deffinitly love the way Japan pwns Chinese, and later US and allies, but once the specific AI "commands" like "capture philipines" or land on some island are compleated (withing first few months of war) all it basicaly does is sit and protect mainland while US invades islands with ports (guarded by single garison) or airfields, then takes China with little or no effort at all by Japs to protect it, and finally u get to see haundreds of US divisions landing in mainland and soon its over. Makes me somewhat pissed off to have to pull my troops from Russian front to protect Japanese ruled China, or send my subs (like 100+) to protect their seas while their entire fleet is sitting in some port doing nothing.

Same with Italian AI, its like it has 50%/50% chance of either win over England or lose, and usually it depends on what happens in Albania (!), sometimes after Italy annex Albania it leaves like 20 divisions in Tirana, and sends like 3-4 to Africa, or even bunch of divions to Ethiopia just b4 they join the war, and ofcourse since Brits own Suez/Gibraltar all those troops get cut off from supply and they die soon, thats at least my theory.

IMO u guys only need to make a couple of new tweaks for some AIs like Italian or Japanese and DAIM will be almoust perfect :D Italians need to be eable to take on Africa without being retarded after Egypt and just standing there, Japs need to be capable of keeping islands (garisons?) aswell as China or India after they kick allies there. Whats the point of Japs capturing Philipines, Singapore, and other islands and places withing couple of months of Pearl Harbor only to lose them within a year or so due to no garisons at all being left to protect em. What happened in my last game is Japs take on all package perfectly including India withing one year, and then they widraw compleatly from India and ofcourse US lands about 50 divisions and couple of months after they own half of China...

Also seeing Germany actually doing something after the victory over Soviets like invading Sweeden, or England or even US would be pretty cool, else playing game with nation like Italy has no point after 1945, nothing is going to happen...

Well thats all from me :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Hello, I've downloaded and instlaed DAIM, but I didn't get the message about it after 24 hours

I don't know what I did wrong

It's not a popup, at least it wasn't for me. Look at the scrolling messages at the bottom of the screen, it should be there.
 
I am having a problem with it showing the nations loaded DAIM on the bottom of the screen as it does for DD. I recently re-purchased HOI2 DD & purchased Armageddon for the first time (after loosing my CD's and messing up the AI folders so badly and forgetting to back them up uninstalled and THEN looked for my CD to re-install :rolleyes: )

Anyway, I installed everything, ran Arma, it said it was 1.1, so I downloaded and installed 1.2, it still says its 1.1, apart from that, I downloaded DAIM for DD and Arma and installed it on DD (works fine) but when I installed DAIM on ARMA, I never get the message's in the event log stating its working.

Should I play it through and see how it plays and judge if DAIM is working, or what, because I am leery of it not telling me its working.



EDIT:

I found the problem, It was installing the patch and DAIM to
C:\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Armageddon\Doomsday

I just had to remove Doomsday so it installed to
C:\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Armageddon\

And it Worked, Thanks for reading!

(odd how you can usualy solve the problem yourself once you ask someone else for help.) :rofl:

Actually in my game today playing straight Armageddon 1.2 with no DAIM I loaded as my Jap puppet Manchukuo and was surprised to find the AI had them building x5 (50) convoys.
