Forced disarmerment doesn't work

[Darkrenown]

This might be more of a bug forum thread, but there was a lot of confusion over this last time it was mentioned in GD so I'm posting it here. Basicly the title say it all. I've been testing this in multi over a LAN today. As far as I can seen it doesn't affect your country at all, it doesn't show up in the "Country X offers us peace for Y" box and if it's the only thing you offer for peace the log says you settled for a white peace.

Checked budget as well in case it increases troop upkeep or anything. It doesn't.

Doesn't forced disarmament remove brigades from divisions? I thought that's what it did, but could well be wrong.

I also have found it does nothing at all. Not sure about the removing of Brigades, but surely disarmament should mean just that; disarmament.

IMO it should reduce the standing army at least by 50% or something. But, in my experience also, it doesn't seem to do anything.

Nope.

What exactly is forced disarmament supposed to do? And please don't just answer that it is supposed to disarm.

I've never noticed forced disarm doing anything either, and the manuel doesn't say anything about it.

I assumed it automatically cut some number of divisions, but having never been forced to disarm myself, I don't really know. If it isn't in the game, it would certainly be a nice feature to have added.

It's a peace negotiation option which takes a considerable chunk of warscore.

Does the AI ever demand this, btw?

I have never seen this happen.

Forced disarmament usually never worked in real life, why should it in the game, bug-induced or not?

It worked in 1919. It's not supposed to be an everlasting state, but something is supposed to happen.

I dont know about it doing nuthing, but after having seen france try and fight WW1 with 20,000 men....

 

[Darkrenown]

Whatever happened to France it wasn't forced disarmament.

 

[Darkrenown]

Forced disarmament does nothing.

I'll just link to my GD thread on this:

While I'm here, did you see my suze thread here, derek?

It happened in real life, Britain forced Germany to disarm most of its navy after ww1, and a lot of troops if Im not correct. Anyways I noticed also it does nothing, my game as Austria, I made France pay me and disarm, he had all divs still.

 

[Dinsdale]

Just wondering if Paradox or the betas could make a comment about this feature which either does not work, does something we cannot see.

I posted in the bug thread, but it is unanswered so far.
