It´s a known bug, (btw, is my fault and :( ) and it will be fixed in next version.:D

Thanks for the feedback!;)

Check this thread:

It has an utility to fix corrupted/inflated savegames. It cleans the savefile of the repeating tech strings and thus you can keep saving and loading without 15 min save times. The savefile still will be big (but less), but at least they work.

I installed, changed the text.csv like mentionned, started up......

-Played till Jan 1940, because of the save files out of all proportions, (150MB now).
I decided to completely save/exit game every 3 months and completely reboot PC every year. (really works, believe me guys, you can see the activity after you come in again, Luxembourg had TWO divisons, NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE, Holland had 11 divisions)

-Problem with Etheopia, it got annexed by Italy, then on June 1936 Etheopian freedom fighters and just 1 hour before that it froze, I mean my screen froze over, never had that before. I had saved, so played again, again freeze, now I decided to save every month and start from the monthly save, now I saw it, the freedom fighters took 80% of Etheopia back and Italie crushed and annexed them again. That was it, no more Etheopian freedom fighters (until I stopped in 1940 that is) and no more freezes.

-Japan NEVER attacked Nat.China, it didn't declare war. It declared war on Com.China in Sept.1939, but can't get to it:p

-Nat.Spain won in 9 months, I lost Sperrle forever, even after the civil war ended, although the event says you will get them back after the civil war ends...........:mad:

-Poland overrun in 14 days, just me being clever, thay had plenty divisions, pocketed 14 of them) Poland didn't take the border garantee by UK, it turned it down, talk about a major stupidity, never seen that before either. So I am not in war with allies, but they are at war with the comintern right after DOW of Russia on Finland. This really needs to be fixed!! (I know can happen in 1.03b as well)

-I enjoyed it, very nice events, gives much more flavor to the game:D

GREAT JOB C.O.R.E!!!!!!!!!! (keep it up but wait for 1.04 now, I guess)

-hendriks
thanks for the feedback!!!
like nachinus said, we are working (and solved) some things that you mentioned...

:D
 
I think C.O.R.E is great.. Very much fun..
 
Continuing CORE campaign.....

I am continuing thanks to Nachinus pointing me in the way of cleaning up my savefile from 148MB to 6MB, I started again straight away.....

Played till September 1940;

-Big Upset, Roemania didn't go with handing over bessarabia and nothern bucovina, instead they declared WAR on the SU!!!! (NEVER seen that before, interesting........I was wondeing, had I already allied myself to Roemania, the whole eastern front would have been open to the SU.......) Roemania was annexed after 3-4 months, now I am facing a weird eastern front, I am about to declare war on Greece, have annexed Yugoslavia/Albania and Hungary/Italy/Bulgaria/Slovakia are in the Axis.

-Egypt is keeping Italy at bay, UK is fighting Italy in the rest of the eastern Africa, Etheopia broke free from Italy but is not at war with them, the Italians just let that happen.

-I stationned 6 fighter divisions in Antwerp for a raid at the UK, but just that moment 1 broken away "wondering" UK div. occupied the hex and GONE my fighters:mad: :( :eek:

-Lots of UK activity at sea, no posting U-boats and having them pick at UK fleet, big fights all the time.

-Free french went with "it's too early to have Charles de Gaulle as leader of the free french"

Gonne play some more now, have to think about Russia, they have their consumer goods very low now (or had) so they are getting very dangerous.........

-report later....

Looks like one of those "alternative" games... It's general problem with 1.03b - Paradox says, that first option in events is chosen 95/100 times, but I'm not so sure - too many times I've seen Austria allied with Germany, Chechoslovakia ignoring Munich Treaty, Poland handing over Gdansk and so on... :)

About Poland (mentioned in earlier post) - it got individual AI in 0.2, thanks to that it holds 2-3 months on average. :D
 
Dow waiting for a DOW

I am playing the US and I can't get in a war!

I turned down the offer to join the allies when France fell (I wanted a quick war of aggression in America first), but since then my WE has fallen quickly to about 30% killing my economy. It is now April of 42 and I can't get in a war because the SU has taken most of Germany and Japan isn't being aggressive. :(

Very frustrating.

Don't know if this is CORE or just general 1.03b, but I figured that I would rant for a little bit. Thank you for being the audience.

Other than that it is working very well.

MDow
 
It's HOI in general, not C.O.R.E. You can always cheat a little, I think the cheat you need is just "war" entered in the event console.

IIRC the US WE reduction occurs when there is war between Axis and Comintern, ie your public opinion is that the dictators can kill themselves off well enough without American lives being lost.

Arguably there should be some events for US intervention in Europe if USSR is building up great momentum though.

Definetely - especially when USA was not at war at all. But it could be solved even without "post war events" - some more aggressive Soviet AI after victory over Nazis (it's quite probable in case swift victory and T-34 near the English Channel) would be enough.

So, another ai file, with 10% chance (every 30 days) of triggering? It's fast way of solving this - since "post war order" is rather delayed...
 
I think there should be some events for lowering Dutch warentry as they join the allies too soon in my game; maybe you should add an event for it (Belgium does fine however)? Other problems are with the Balkan nations and Greece; maybe this could be linked with MR-Pact (the Germans making an alliance with the Commintern makes these governements afraid for Russian aggression, this moves them to democracy, for Italy maybe a dissent hit (Clergy upset) and a small movement towards democracy as well)??? Also Greece (something with the Brits) and Yugoslavia need to be tweaked a bit...
 
unable to continue playing.......

because of a constant CTD now, happening every 48 hours like clockwork. I have advanced to June 1941 now, having had some annoying CTD's with CORE before, for the first time in my HOI gaming career, honest to God, I have a brand new compaq Pressario 6000 P4 with 512 DDR RAM and a superduper GeForce4 card, I really NEVER have had a HOI crash.
I crashed yesterday and decided to call it a day. Today I was really looking forward to a good game 'cause it's awesome this CORE!
Even needed Rommel in NA and got him there through masses of UK ships with only 1 working transport in the med, nicked from Greece:D Bulgaria has joined my alliance but I have discovered I can't use it's transports:confused: :confused:
The Brits and Egyptians had the italians on the run, very much like history, great work there guys:eek:
So I decided to help my partner and send the DAK, 2 motorized and 1 panzer division, not that I can spare them 'cause I've got an angry USSR breathing down my neck from Roemania down (read previous post), but the Allies already in control of NA and Italy weak in it's own territory (they have only send me 4 divisions as a loan :eek: ) I decided I needed to step in.
After going all the way to before Tobruk, (I set up supply from annexed German Albania ((oil province)) to Tripoli), they halted me and pushed me back. I've got panzer division 2 on the way IF I can get it transported.

BUT, all in vain as I can play now no more then 2 days, 48 hours EXACTLY, nothing weird happening, no alliances breaking, wars declared, nothing. 48 hours over and over again from my autosave file from yesterday................

do you guys want the save file? (zipped of course, but it's only 6 MB)

-Thanks/hendriks

COOL CORE THOUGH!!

check previous CORE events (maybe in the history file :( ).
maybe some events in June 3 are causing that??? :confused:
 
I've had it run longer, up to the 9th of June but most of the time it crashes as it ticks over from 2nd to 3rd of June. There's nothing that jumps out at once as the root cause here...

I case of Yugoslavia all is solved by one of Bolted events - unfortunately it's bugged. :( But I'm sure that in 0.2 it would work fine and Yugoslavia would join Allies instead of Axis.
About Greece - the problem is not Greece per se, but Italian inability to deal with Albania. Really. In 9/10 I've seen Albania live and kicking in 1940. IF Italy were able to deal with Albania, then it's aggressive AI would be able to attack Greece and, in effect, make Greece part of Allies.
So - we need to correct too weak Italians, not force Balkan war by events. Maybe some more transports in starting OOB (or corrected "production = {") and Naval Infantry Training would be enough?
