In 1.03, you can change upgrade paths, so a light armoured division can be upgraded to the latest medium armored division.

Thank you AC. That is an excellent addition to the game, much appreciated.

However on the same lines, what happens to the production queue for that type of division? If you are producing Light Armoured Divisions and have set the queue to automatically upgrade, does it upgrade to Medium Armour when that is available, or does it wait for the next Light Armour upgrade which is much later in the game?

 

[^_AC_^]

The upgrade path is for individual units.
The production lines only follows the "natural" path.

I wish I could ask this question in the technical section but sadly I have no way to post there as I have not yet registred my game. Have any of you guys had trouble finding there CD key for Darkest Hour after they purchased it on steam? Do I have to contact steam as the sales person or Paradox as the publisher?
Thx lads

What are the differences between the various types of troopship? Does it make transporting troops less disruptive than it otherwise is as it seems like its more of a penalty for a unit to move from one province to another currently by ship than it is to amphibious assault?

It worked, was my bad, I looked for the code on my macbook and obvious that would work as the game was not mac compatible

Another quick question, I do not seem to find a link toward the 1.03 patch, it looks like the steam edition is version 1.02

To have access to some of the game sub-forums on this board you have to register your game as described here:http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum...-your-Game&p=12282187&viewfull=1#post12282187

The manual and the patch can be acquired also from most of the game sales channels (Steam and gamersgate have those for sure).

I think that this is an universal question for HoI2. Does anyone know if "upgrades" are counted as specific items in the database as with the production or are they algorithms? What happens if I "upgrade" for a month an army and an airforce and then suddenly decide that I do not need by airforce upgraded? Will all the upgrading cost I spent to date be turned into upgrades for the army then or will a part of it be eternally tied to my airforce?

 

[MartinBG]

Each division or brigade upgrades individually.

 

[unmerged(82704)]

So if I am spending 200 out of 400 on upgrades it will pick half my army and start upgrading them? Meaning that if I block upgrades to certain divisions that IC investment will forever be lost?

 

[^_AC_^]

Some units will have for example upgrade set to a certain percentage, like 58.6%. If you give 0 IC to upgrades it will stop. If you resume giving IC to updates, the percentage of upgrade will rise from where it was.
So no investment is lost.

EDIT: if you start upgrading a division to a certain degree (like 58.6%) and then you set that division to "Not upgrade" FOREVER then yes, it's a bad investment. As soon as you remove the "Not upgrade" condition, it will resume upgrading from where it was left.

 

[unmerged(82704)]

Cool, thanks guys, that's what I thought. Any idea how the computer picks which units to upgrade first?

 

[^_AC_^]

Sorry, I can't remember. I think armor division are prioritized but I'm not 100% sure.

 

[unmerged(82704)]

Thx dude. I think sometimes for some reason I always get transport aircraft upgraded first in all HoI2 versions and that kinda sucks

 

[Centurionsc2]

Hi, I was just wondering if infantry divisions were still the most efficient type as they were in vanilla HOI2 or if there is now greater variety for use of other division types.
Thanks for the great game!

 

[unmerged(82704)]

Yup they are but obviously you can't blitz with them as well and the AI is more reactive here so you won't surround much using only infantry.

Is there any possibility to edit the save game to get another decision for "summer/winter offensive"? When you used it once, it's not available again.
