HoI gets a decent editor but CK and VIC don't blyet

[QUOTE=ThePinkPanzer;47599280]HoI gets a decent editor but CK and VIC don't blyet[/QUOTE]VIC2's was alright from when I remember using it. My memory is fuzzy but sometimes it wouldn't want to do certain things properly.

[QUOTE=Dark Kite;47597887] What the hell is this mesh of interconnection between all these damn units?[/QUOTE] That's their range. Basically each HQ has a range. If they are in range, meaning your lines are green your troops receive bonuses from the command hierarchy. Here are the ranges: Corps 200 Km Army 400 Km Army Group 600 Km Theater Commander 2000 Km And here are the bonuses: Theater: Reduce stacking penalty by 1% per leader skill level. Army Group: Decrease supply consumption by 5% per leader skill level. Army: Increase organization by 1% per leader skill level. Corps: Improve chance of a reserve division entering combat. Division: Increase combat efficiency by 5% per leader skill level. Note that if you skip a command level, the skill level effect does not change. For example if you skip the Corps level and assign divisions directly to an Army HQ, you lose the chance of a reserve division entering combat. So say if you have a division under a corps HQ, but the corps HQ is more than 200km away from the division, the division loses it's bonus which is: Improve chance of a reserve division entering combat. But as long as the division is in range of the Army HQ, it still gets increased organization by 1% per leader skill level. It's also a good idea to put your highest level commanders to your theatre(s). The number next to the commander indicates it's level not the stars by the way. They gain experience, traits and level up as they fight. You can read more here [url]http://www.paradoxian.org/hoi3wiki/Command_structure[/url] So yeah, make sure to move your HQs up as your front advances. TLDR: Dont have any red lines. Other than that, they can be ignored.

HoI4 has been indefinitely delayed it seems. Doesn't sound promising, we EvW now son.

[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;47640006]HoI4 has been indefinitely delayed it seems. Doesn't sound promising.[/QUOTE] Paradox recently changed their policy to not until announce games until they're in Alpha (or was it beta) So this probably won't happen again with new games. HOI4 only hit Alpha last month.

HoI3's neutrality system was horrid.

[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;47640006]HoI4 has been indefinitely delayed it seems. Doesn't sound promising, we EvW now son.[/QUOTE] Where does it say that? As far as I know, he just said we're not getting a Q2 release. You're making it sound as if they straight up cancelled the thing.

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;47640050]If it makes a better product I'm okay with it, HoI3 had some massive problems at launch. And a few things have changed since then to make me somewhat positive about it.[/QUOTE] I agree, and it still does. I mean having to restart the game when you switch resolutions? That's like entry level stuff...

there should be a dev diary next friday, or the one after. Maybe we'll get more info then.

[QUOTE=ThePinkPanzer;47645047]Where does it say that? As far as I know, he just said we're not getting a Q2 release. You're making it sound as if they straight up cancelled the thing.[/QUOTE] Q2 has been canceled, they haven't given a release date. They said alpha will take 3 months, then it still has to go through beta so there is no date given hence indefinite.

Lone Wolf is right. There is no Release date, so the delay is technically indefinite.

I have to say after playing Crisis of the Confederation and Warhammer: Geheimnisnacht I'm very excited regarding the state of total conversion modding for CK2.

How is Crisis of the Confederation? Never really got around to playing it

[QUOTE=RearAdmiral;47647180]I have to say after playing Crisis of the Confederation and Warhammer: Geheimnisnacht I'm very excited regarding the state of total conversion modding for CK2.[/QUOTE] I mean uh. It's been going on for a few years. [editline]2nd May 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Zillamaster55;47647206]How is Crisis of the Confederation? Never really got around to playing it[/QUOTE] It's good. Some of the features just don't work (medieval game, Sci-Fi setting) but it has a lot of great ideas.

[editline]3rd May 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Zillamaster55;47647206]How is Crisis of the Confederation? Never really got around to playing it[/QUOTE] It's a little rusty in spots. Way of Life isn't really supported, and some of the features are a little clunky, but definitely a lot of potential. And playing as a long line of clones all from the same genetic stock is pretty cool.

I wish my mod had content .-. But there's this god damned bug and literally nobody on the forum knows how to fix it. Oh well.

[QUOTE=ThePinkPanzer;47647470]I wish my mod had content .-. But there's this god damned bug and literally nobody on the forum knows how to fix it. Oh well.[/QUOTE] outta curiosity, what bug would that be

[QUOTE=Redswandir;47647795]outta curiosity, what bug would that be[/QUOTE] Weird thing where if I have certain titles in the landed_provinces.txt file then it will crash the game on startup. I've asked everywhere, even the experts like JonStryker, but nobody knows what to do about it.

HoI3 with all the expansions/patches is good enough to have besides Darkest Hour. DH is still better and its modding community blows HoI3's out of the water IMO, but it's got enough uniqueness to be a game you can recommend. It's still has problems vanilla (mainly the fact that it's scripted to hell and back) but mods like HPP solve most of them.

I like HOI3 way better, the combat in DH is pretty bad. Tech teams and all that other shit like government is way better though.

[QUOTE=Redswandir;47652075]wow fuck changing the titles don't help?[/QUOTE] Nothing I do changes it. I've had to remove all the counties in the file one by one (annoying when there's hundreds) to find it. Oh well.

Any really good HOI3 mods? Are there any alternate history/alternate start mods?

[QUOTE=RearAdmiral;47647421]It has been going for a few years, but it's nice to see total conversation mods that aren't A Song of Ice and Fire that are still really content heavy.[/QUOTE] I'm just waiting for Elder Kings to get an update.

[QUOTE=Freakie;47657451]I'm just waiting for Elder Kings to get an update.[/QUOTE] Occasionally I'll go back to Elder Kings' Mod DB page with a forlorn look on my face [editline]4th May 2015[/editline] Someday...

Oh hey that mod I forgot to mention I'm on the team of.

[QUOTE=cis.joshb;47654770]Any really good HOI3 mods? Are there any alternate history/alternate start mods?[/QUOTE] BlackICE, August Storm, HPP are good starts. Alt-history/Alt-start: WW1 Mod, Deo Vindice, Yet Another Modern Day Mod (YAMDM), Kaiserreich (this needs alot of work, its barely functional)
