I played a quick run through to May '39 after I discovered that this is a whole new game! Good Lord, you guys redid the whole tech tree! I fumbled around, made some bad choices, watched my citizens gobble up my stockpiles, and then got the crap bombed out of me when I started the war. I am really impressed, though I haven't gotten far enough to see if it's balanced right with so many changes. I did notice one thing. It's possible to get heavy tanks 40mm (panthers), with relative ease in 1938. Is this right, or did you just bump the names down one level or something. Also, since you have to upgrade your inf with just about every tech, it has made sharing those techs with your allies a crap shoot. Will they utilize it, since they have to upgrade too? I was messing with the world market and noticed that you'll get turned down for 200 coal for 100 rubber, but they'll accept 2 trades of 100 coal for 50 rubber each. Kinda wierd. All in all I'm pretty excited to start over and learn this new game. Looks pretty good. Thanks again Nighty!

I downloaded the latest version and erase the Wagner general in the leaders file. I am still getting a database mismatch. The game would load and start but when I start replacing my generals in the leaders interface the game slows down abruptly and becomes erratic. What am i missing here? But I am impressed with the new interface and the speed you got this out nighty. I promise not to look for you in Afghanistan!

Please see the fact that this is the first version after so many things came in. It cannot be perfect and i doubt if it is already balanced will show. However with your feedback the next or second release after this should be a real pleasue to play!

:) I swear it has nothing to do with Afghanistan :D
Get the new version OR the fix!
 
Erm :)

I will begin with some bitchin.......

- Although i have dowloaded at 8:30 am it has still the databse mismatch error.

- The interface in the game is awfull as it prevents sharp background for easy reading of text. Please! point me to the files i need to get the old interface back. I dont want a headache.

- My harbour graphic looks bad with fow on grrrrrrrrr I have only tested it with fov off so i am the one to blaim.

- I am quite "shocked" at what you guys did to the game. That doesnt have to be a bad thing :)

-My seafort is listed as being added but its not showing.

- Some of the beaches are placed wrong and in the middle of the land. Rouen / Greece

Is it ok to continue with the error Aesop already reported?

I agree with you Holland about the background, and for my self I am keeping normal HOI. With the moddir method is actually quite simple, as the original files were not replaced. Just go to the GFX folder of the moddir stony road (not the HOI GFX) and delete everything that you do not like. The default HOI will take over.

Yes the problem was that the German leader folder update was not coordinated with the German inc file giving ID conflicts. It is easily fixable though so I am sure Nighty will upload a correction soon if he did not already. If you can not wait just replace the German leader folder in the moddir for a previous one or even the HOI 105 I guess that will do the trick temporarily.
 
Since everybody is bitching a bit, i'll go along...

What i complain about is that event wich give you choices about restrictions to the peoples' ressources... Il lower my stockpiles to such a level that my IC goes as far low as 33 ! With a full german reich ( germany austreich tchecoslovaquia being mine ) in 38 ! very, very bad for somebody looking for advanced 80mm medium tanks at the begining of the war and 12 imp. tact. bombers and 10 imp. multirole fighters and a fleet of 5 Bismark class and 10 cruisers...
 
I am sort of lost?

I m sort of lost at the moment guys :( My problem is I dont know if there is a new updated version for stony road? That works with the patch for HOI. Is there a new updated version of stony road mod and if so what is the name of it and where can I get it from? :D
Thanks guys.
 
Don't worry guys just found it. By the way great mod nighty :) Can I just ask if you can do me a slight avour in few versions :D What I think would be cool is if you could make countries like Britain and france give up their territories in asia and africa ect and turn them into proper countries like they are now. So say in the 50's and onwards could you somehow make it that the french and british ect are able to make these countries exist :D THis would be great if you could :D .
 
I haven't played the new one yet but somebody told me that in the new version you can only deploy an x amount of units per day - so you cant deploy your whole 200 units in 1 hr...? is that true - if so its a great idea - paradox should do the same..
