Description​

I was playing Raj while in the Japanese faction. Throughout the game Japan kept extracting zero resources from occupied territories. This is because the AI keeps reserving convoys for troop movements and naval invasion plans.

So the AI requires a certain amount of convoys as a buffer to prevent it from going into a state where it no longer trades or receives occupied resources. Once the AI drops below this threshold convoy amount. It is in a deadlock where it no longer has the resources to produce equipment. So without player intervention. It will never have enough convoys to solve its problem.


I suspect this is happening in a lot of games where the Japan AI seems to just be bad. Once it doesn't have enough convoys. Japan is stuck.

Steps to Reproduce​

Not sure how to reliably reproduce it. I included my save game to show the scenario.

I guess you could get into the 1940s and then convoy raid japan until its resource supply is broken. Then just let the game run for a few decades. You should see that Japan never solves its problem because it cannot build convoys because of lack of resources.

Are you playing on a save from the previous/older version of the game​

No
