Is there a way to see VPs of a country without checking every single province?

I attacked Canada and it doesn't capitulate, because apparently it holds something worth, but I can't find that last damn VP.
 
Does "Increase infantry division damage/defense" also increase for special units like mountaineers? Arent they also considered infantry? Or do they just mean regular infantry units. So confusing
 
How can I prevent fronts from splitting? During my last game as Britain fighting Germany my one continuous border versus them was split into about 6 different fronts and there was no way to make it one continuous front. It makes it quite difficult and time consuming to organise units with this, you have to make individual plans for each front when all you really want is one.

EDIT: See here and here for an example of this.

Can you create a faction with only your puppet?

I'm in a (facist) mexico playthrough and I would like to create my own faction to unlock my 5th research slot.
 
Is there a way to set up army subgroups? I'm not totally sure what the proper terminology would be but here's an example:

As Germany i've conquered quite a bit of land and have made cavalry divisions with MP's in order to maintain order, about six 24-division stacks of them. Is there any way that I can set up a Field Marshal with overall command of all the occupation forces and only see his portrait along the bottom of the screen? I don't actively use those divisions and they only exist to keep order. Seeing all of the individual armies is kind of cluttering up the screen.

Well, for one, use theaters so you don't see any of them unless you're viewing your garrison troops "theater." Two, if they aren't going to see combat, you don't need a general at all...

Finally, there's no real "subgroup" of the army in terms of what you're talking (just the divisions which you already know), but if you click many places to garrison, they will spread out over massive areas.

Now imagine looking for vp in russia. Best way I found is to use resource map and zoom out a little. it should be easier. Also know that every province is always worth 1 VP - those points on the map are only extra added value.

create a new theatre, name it police or occupation whatever. you dont need commander for them

you can order them using fallback command and draw a line. They were trying their best to automate front control, but one encirclemnt fucks up entire ai front and it start strategiclt redeploying ot the breaktrough. Just stop using it and learn to micro.

I didn't know each province is worth 1vp, I can look no further, thank you. Having to move armies into Arctic or Sahara to get dozen missing VPs is.... interesting design choice. :rolleyes:
 
Other than clicking the button in the top right and sorting by generals assigned, is there a way to either A. Find unassigned units immediately, or B. Auto assign units sent via expeditionary forces system to the same catch all group I have my division training system set to dump units to? Right now I have to constantly sort through every single unit to find the ones unassigned and they are almost always expeditionary forces. Am I missing something, shouldn't there be a "assign x forces to X" option instead of just an accept/refuse button on that popup?
 
Hey.
I'm playing my second game after the tutorial now and I wonder about something. I send planes as L&L to Franco in Spain as Germany, which apparently were delivered succesfully (the agreement is gone from the diplomacy screen and I lack the planes). But I have yet to see planes in action in the Civil War. It's 37 already, I sent the planes mid 36.

The AI may be a bit... slow. But if there was anything I learned from my Spain playthrough, is that infantry weapons are worth their weight in gold. I'd send those instead, if able. Especially if it kicks off in Feb '36 like I've seen a lot lately.

Yeah. I suppose that would have been the wiser choice. I was hoping for air experience. Instead the war is pretty much lost due to the weak nationalist infantry.

Wait, maybe I misunderstood you. Did you mean lend lease, as in shipping equipment, or volunteers? I wasn't aware that you could volunteer air wings. Lend lease earns no XP of any kind, regardless of usage.

You understood me correctly. L&L does give you XP if your equipment is used in a war (so says the tooltip). To my surprise, my planes finally came to use and I gained air xp that way. But I still don't know why that took the Spanish so long.

Fun fact: Now my side is on the offensive, and Italy sent new volunteers to our aid - 6 divisions! - just to guard Coruna. Far away from any of those dangerous republican boomsticks. Talk about clichés.

Well then. Consider my words eaten. As far as the Italian volunteers, they aren't really there for the war, just on leave following the conflict in Ethiopia ;)
 
If I as the US puppet Venezuela, do I automatically get access to their natural resources, or do I still need to trade factories for them? Would it be better to annex them outright?
 
Is war justification the only method for countries to declare war before 1939?

If I choose to declare war to seize one province, will that have an effect on the peace conference if I can simply annex the loser?
