There must be some nuance to the game I'm not getting, since the manpower drain from the east is just crippling and seems unsolvable.

Could you elaborate?
What's you situation, how far along are you in the game, what's your mobilization level & army size?
Ok I got some more games under my belt now. I'll just make general notes. First, from that China game, during the German power transition Armenia revolted from RK Kaukasien and the RK had given Georgia independence in the early game event. For some reason, Armenia wasn't defeated by Germany which I think prevented a lot of events in the chain from happening. I had unified China and Siberia was ugly because of me so I left it behind. I have to say, the new update forces me to play Germany with more care in the early game, so congrats. I can't just sit on 0 mp with a negative daily modifier on it, I have to take care of my manpower levels so congrats. I don't know why Grodno is a part of RK Ostland at game start since the city was a part of Bezirk Bialystok. The Hungarian-Romanian war in general is whacky. In one, Germany chose no side yet got somehow involved on the Hungarian side leading to Greater Hungary and a rump Romania as a German puppet. In another Germany chose no side, Hungary won, released Romania as a puppet and then the war immediately restarted, leading to another Hungarian victory but now with no Romania being released and Hungary not rejoining the Axis. The surrender events in case of the Third World War are kinda annoying, since countries didn't surrender to logical countries and then just sit there. Hungary and Italy surrendered to Britain whilst SS Frankreich surrendered to the Soviets. Cause is probably spiked dissent from nukes, but the surrenders are nonsensical. But, I honestly really enjoyed Operation Kuznetsov. Nice to manage it, trying to make the partisans survive and just trying to use them to give my regular army as much room as possible to advance. However, maybe add some more victory points in the RK's. Since forcing the RNR to surrender may be jus too easy by taking Leningrad, Moscow, Stalingrad and Rostov. Also, I rerolled a Soviet game untill I got the US to pick the regular route. But, in a late game election (I think 1958) they picked America First still, which eventually led to them declaring war on me when I declared on the Germans. Quickly fixed by a quick acceptall white peace, but it was annoying. Finally, the border between India and Pakistan is wrong in Bangladesh, the northeastern province in Bangladesh owned by Pakistan (Gauhati) should be Indian. Finally, a technical question regarding certain Soviet events. I think it's for the October Revolution event, but it's a event where you get a dissent reduction, or a greater one depending on a investement. Certain times it has only the first option, other times two or three. Is this just the same event popping up with multiple options based on a certain scope like how much money or dissent you have?
But, in general, excelent work as always.

This chain will be updated.
Hopefully we'll find a way to stop Turkey from stealing Yerevan, as it sometimes does.
That is true.
Oh dear.
Noted.
I'm not sure America First would have influenced that particular outcome, at least not directly, since the decision is reliant on CW UN/Comintern/Axis trackers, not domestic American policy.
Noted.
It's an anniversary event. Anniversaries divisible by 5 would merit greater celebrations and divisible by 10 - greater still, hence second and third option popping up.
Thank you for the report, it's always a big help.

Following that America First electoral victory the US retreated from the UN, formed APTO and did all its Central and South American wars. The UK was the leader of the UN and declared war on the Axis. I had done everything possible to maintain good relations with the UN
Ah ok, but is it in the files just one event where those extra options pop up, or are these three seperate events that just have different triggers?
Some points I forgot to mention. When playing Germany, it would be nice if I got to decide if Georgia was released from RK Kaukasien before their revolt, having to reload for that is rather annoying, and the choice of organisation of the east is also left to Germany in case of the Wilno dispute between Ostland and Belarus. The cores and claims that RK Kaukasien starts with don't line up with the ones they get if they get released again which is very visible in case Germany decides to reorganize the Caucasus after the Georgian revolt. RK Kausasien at start has claims on the land it owns plus the Don steppe north of it. If it's rereleased it claims the main Caucasian states, some of the Northern Caucasus but not all, nothing of the Don steppe and bordering land in Turkey and Iran. In the chaos after Hitler's death there's a great possibility for Italy to end up annexing Serbia if Serbia declares war on Croatia. What happens after is that Italy always releases Yugoslavia which makes little sense. Finally, if the Balkan recieves a touchup, Slovakia, Romania and Croatia had signed a agreement during the war that agreed that they would attack Hungary together to undo the Hungarian territorial expansion before and during the early war. Maybe this can be taken in consideration as well for the Hungarian-Romanian crisis or in the wake of Hitler's death.
The pleasure's all mine, I just enjoy playing the mod

Yeah, I dug into the files and found that event. Gotta think of something with it.
In the current release, it's one event which checks every day whether it's January 1st yet.
And when it is, it checks what kind of year it is, making appropriate options available.
In the next release, it will be a bunch of same events tied to specific dates for performance reasons.
It will work differently in the next release.
Noted.
Noted, but I doubt there will be much change in the Balkans in the foreseeable future.

Hi, trying this fantastic mod (congrats). After a few runs, I have encounter several things that may be a bug, and one for sure. Playing as United Kingdom, Singapore is not usable as naval base. The two fleets stationed there cannot move at all (tried all, making new fleets, giving different orders, etd) and neither other fleet can move or dock there. Also, I dont know if it is on purpose, but msny decisions are not available to many countries or just dissapear suddenly (for example, United Kingdom does NOT have the "invest in national research"), looks like a bug. Taxes goes in and out. With KMT China, many decisions suddenly dissapeared (dont remember the exact year)
Any help with these issues? Don´t know which file to edit/repair to fix that.
Darkest Hour 1.05.2 STOX, last Fatherland OSTFRONT
Otherwise, again, congrats, nice alternate history and good mod.

@pakotorino
I'm enjoying the mod thoroughly too, especially the new version. I just have a couple of questions though:
- What are you planning to do with Germany and Italy next version? I had some ideas for new ministers, but didn't want to mess with the file in case they clashed with your ideas in case of something like the Soviet Union or Despondent Fuhrer
- I actually contributed quite a few ministers, but embarrassingly enough, forgot a lot of the minister pics. I've since made a lot (I mean a LOT) of corrections to that, along with a lot of pics, both scavenged from Back in the USSA and from a new project I'm playing with; do you want them for the next version?

Indeed, thank you for reporting.
Many decisions have preconditions which are set in such a way that the decisions won't show up if they are not met - to avoid cluttering the tab with decisions which are not relevant.
For example, the British start with just enough Free Market to make investment decisions not visible. And the taxes don't show for leninist and stalinist countries.
Folder Fatherland/db/events contains three "generic_..." files. A lot of decisions which are available to all/most countries are stored there.
