Perhaps a +1 to +5 "strategic weighting" for certain provinces? Verdun, the Channel Ports, Constantinople, Jerusalem, Panama and Suez, perhaps others.

Regarding the big list: Petrograd is now the Russian capital, and Istanbul (not Ankara) is the Ottoman capital.

Ah then those two should be switched then.

A +1 to +5 is fine with me. I had just appointed a +1 to strategic province, and a +2 to important canals and straights (Suez, Panama, Copenhagen, Gibraltar, and Istanbul).
 
How?

How do you make certain provinces have stars on them I assume by vp i dont know so help me!:wacko:

I assume that if a province has a certain amount of VP's that the star just shows up.

The country files were fine - countries started with their resources, but unfortunately the Montenegrin and Fengtien armies still disappeared within five days. The VP file didn't fully work - Victory Points only appeared for Britain, Germany and France. When I put the standard HOI's VP file in the 1914 folder, everything worked normally, leading me to believe that something is wrong with the file. Maybe it got messed up in some way when you emailed it, or when I recieved it, or when I unzipped it.
 
This, happily, has been fixed. A number of lines did not specify which territories the VPs should be assigned to, and so automatically, everything else in the file below that line was annulled. It's been done now, though. :)

Sorry about that Allenby thought I caught all of those, but a head cold can really drain the strength out of you to root out bugs.
 
Thanks Steele, hopefully my scheme of having a lot of provinces with small VP's will work.
 
Just looking for feedback on the VP issue since v1.02b has come out. Is the small VP's in many provinces working? Is it working well? Is it causing the AI problems? Do countries like Belgium and the Netherlands need more VP's in the colonies to prevent puppeting/annexation?

Do those of you who have downloaded v1.02b have suggestions for improvements?
 
Spotted a problem with France. For some reason, I can't launch an amphibious invasion of d'Ouessant (the small island off the coast of Britanny, province 919). Apparently it doesn't have a beach, uless that it's just that it's too small for me to click on the right location to unload troops.

Anyway, the relevance of this to this thread is that unlike in standard HoI, d'Ouessant now has victory points - so it must be occupied in order to annex France. But it can't be occupied, therefore France can never be annexed. :eek:

According to its official website, the Ile d'Ouessant 100 years ago had a population of 2,400, engaged in fishing and sheep-farming. I really don't think it should have any victory points... :D

I therefore suggest removing this line from vp.inc
province = { id = 919 points = 2 }#D'Osseunt
 
That's fine with me. It is true you cannot launch an amphibious invastion of d'Ouessant, but this was true in vanilla HOI. If I recall correctly it can be accessed by land through the nearest land province (Brest?).
