Shimrra Jamaane posted:I have Darkest Hour on Steam, which only updates to 1.02 instead of the 1.03 release. Is there some way to install the 1.03 patch or is it not worth the hassle anyway? Uhg, PDS really should push Steam more to roll out patches for their older games (AoD is in a similar situation). Kinda defeats the point of having those games on Steam in the first place...

Yeah ok, I'm not stupid. Is the process the same for updating the STEAM version as it is for the others? Because that launcher is the same no matter where you got the game.

Of course, I ignored all that and just put the patch over the steam version, no copying nonsense or anything.

 You know that feeling when you think the whole world is ganging up on you? This is one time I'm very glad I'm not playing Spain. EDIT: A few years later, the big German dominion owning most of West Africa went Communist and left German influence, but the cartographers haven't quite caught up yet:

Is producing an aircraft carrier in Darkest Hour supposed to take over 2,000 days? As the United States mind you. That cannot be right.

In my current game I started a colonial war against the (great power) neatherlands for the east indies and ended up at war with (all great power) UK, Germany, Russia, Japan, and Spain. Only great power not at war with me is the USA. Fortunately I'm playing China.

There is a 1940 tech (ship assembly line) that massively reduces production times, but aircraft carriers are still ridiculous in how long they take to build, you have to plan way ahead regardless (a thing you should generally do as far as fleets are concerned) as even with it they'll still take ~3 years to build.

Just go full Free Market and Hawk Lobby as well as getting that rear end Line to reduce the time to 700 days or so.

It was changed for DH or in one of the patches for it. In 1.03 at least they are counted as screens and as such the screen penalty doesn't apply to a fleet of 30 CAs.

Well that explains a few things. Is it not worth putting money into the creating public works decisions since it gives you more Central Planning? I cannot see a single positive thing about Central Planning but its cool to put money into developing research and infrastructure.

If you're on FM, you have way too much money but can't use it. If you're on CP it is way too expensive.

AFAIK Free Market vs Central Planning is limited by your Right-wing / Left-wing sliders, so even if we consider Free Market to be so much better, Central Planning is still better than being stuck in the middle of the slider and never being able to go full FM.

Does having dissent do anything tangible for the US in the early game? Is it worth pouring everything into consumer goods to get it down fast?

It's always a good idea to reduce dissent unless you've got an event coming up that'll reduce it for you. 1% of dissent reduces your IC by 1% so it's awful to have any.

Not sure if Left/Right influences it, but you definitely can't go further than +1 FM if you're a dictatorship. I'd always prefer being a democracy over being CP though, it is just too good.

GrossMurpel posted:IMO it'd be a terrible event even without the CP move. This is why I set investments to be allowed at all levels of Free Market so I have some kind of dissent safety valve and a thing to do with all my money besides counteract "Bank Run" and "Bank Bankruptcy" events, which are stupid anyway. I also prefer HoI 2's unit building times, but those are a lot harder to implement.

I'm sure this has been asked before, but what's the ideal army composition in Vicky2? Typically I do something like 6 infantry, 4 artillery, 2 engies, 2 hussars. Is that optimal?

Bishop Rodan posted:I'm sure this has been asked before, but what's the ideal army composition in Vicky2? Typically I do something like 6 infantry, 4 artillery, 2 engies, 2 hussars. Is that optimal? Enough engineers and hussars to keep siege and scouting at 1 (iirc that's 1 hussar and 1 engineer per 10 brigades, including the engi/hussar,) 6+ infantry and as much artillery as you can afford up to the amount of infantry you've got. Artillery is what wins fights so you want as much as possible but you need an equal amount of infantry in front of it to protect it. So early on you could do 4 infantry 4 artillery 1 engi 1 hussar and then start merging those armies into 8 infantry 8 artillery 2 engi 2 hussars as support limits go up.

If your army is under 10 brigades, one engineer gives you full siege benefits and one Hussar gives you full recon, if its over you need more. I like to go with one Hussar, one Dragoon to mix it up a bit.

By 1846 you'll already have 15 new countries pop up between Paris and Istanbul! Of course, breaking France and UK is also a possibility(Russia doesn't count in my book, being Russia), though it requires the extra effort due to the overabundance of colonies in Asia and Africa. croguy fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Dec 1, 2013 |

Darkest Hour is considered the better game overall though it does have issues with being part of the EU2 engine. It can feel a little clunkier.
