Hi all...
I'm a big fan of the CORE mod, and have played it a number of times for HOI 2. I'm in the midst of my second HOI2DD game with CORE, and ran into a weird situation.
To begin with, my first DD CORE game was with GER (basically because I’m used to that country, kinda know what to expect, know how I want to plan things out, etc). Everything went well: per-war was the usual path, took over POL after the "Danzig or War" event, got the automatic DOW from the Allies, then went north to form Scandinavia, then west to the Low Countries and France, yadda yadda yadda....the quote "usual" game for GER.
My second game was with the UK (wanted a challenge, wanted more naval combat, etc). Pre-war was usual path, except I was more involved in the Spanish Civil War than OTL. I tacked back towards appeasement, once I figured out that I wasn't going to be ready for a big war if I kept going hardline on events.
Now, here's my weird situation. I get the "Allies Guarantee Poland" event, I guarantee POL. End of August comes around, the "Danzig or War" event fires, we get war. Well, kinda. GER goes after POL (btw, GER and SOV did the historical M-R Pact), and I (as the UK) don't get any automatic DOW on GER. I thought it might trigger later in September, but it doesn't. GER and SOV divvy up the remains of POL, we're close to October, and still no war between GER and the Allies.
So I go to the Diplomacy screen, click on GER, and see if I can DOW them. The belligerence rating is moderate (high 20's, if I remember right), and I click on "Declare War". The info screen then tells me I’d get a 10 point dissent hit for DOW on GER, even though I'd supposedly guaranteed POL prior to the Danzig event.
I guess my questions come down to this:
1. Is the above situation a bug, or WAD?
2. Did I choose an option earlier that somehow short-circuited the Allies' DOW on GER?
3. Did I mod some files and cause this short-circuit?
4. Does my DOW on GER give the rest of the Allies dissent hits? (I went ahead and DOW'd GER, F12 and cheated to get the dissent down -- I shouldn't have dissent for DOW on GER after they DOW'd POL)
For more info, the only modding I did was to the UK tech teams, to some base IC levels in various Home Island provinces, and starting resources. The only modding to events I’ve done in CORE was to the BP event, but that was in my previous game as GER.
The current situation in my game is that GER, after defeating POL and being DOW'd by me, begins to move their army to the west. Then, GER declares war on the Low Countries, but in a piecemeal fashion: first, the Netherlands, then noticeable later Belgium, then finally sometime after BEL, they declare on Luxemburg. The Dutch took one of GER ports on the North Sea (Wilhelmshaven, I believe). I land my army and support the Dutch by clearing out northern GER, and then swinging south to trap a large portion of the GER army against the Maginot Line, the rest of the Benelux armies, and the French armies. BTW, France has been admirably aggressive in this war; not moving out of the Maginot Line in a suicidal manner, swinging up north through BEL to hook around the GER armies placed around Aachen and neighboring provinces to do a mirror (or would it be reverse?) Schlieffen Plan.
Again, I guess my question is this: did I mess something up, and thus screw with the automatic DOW on GER after the Danzig event, or is this a WAD.
Thanks all,
Lemons
