GO gently caress YOURSELF posted:I'm playing an HOI3 game right now as the USA where I've been building up diligently since '36. Everything is more or less on track by late '41 - I've begun the Lend-Lease program, I've expanded the undeclared war, I'm hitting all of my production targets to be ready for Pearl Harbor. Then, Japan doesn't attack me or the Philippines. At all. So now it's early '42, the Germans are all Barbarossa and it's going very well (I watched the Russians barely beat the Germans back from the gates of Moscow and things are still very tenuous for Russia). No one will declare on me, so I'm still hamstrung. The UK has taken Ethiopia and Sardinia but Italy owns Egypt and Iraq. I'm desperate to join the war (6 years of build up with no war yet) so I console in the noneutrality cheat and join the Allies. I'm sure I've wrecked some event chains doing that but it's pretty annoying to be blue balled like that. I remember that problem. There is no Pearl Harbor event, Japan's just supposed to attack regularly but they never did that for me. I fixed it by DoWing them (or maybe Germany, don't remember) separately, fighting 1.5 years of useless naval warfare, trying to invade through Vietnam and in the end realizing I can just instantly annex them by landing in the home isles

I mean it's fairly to ridiculously insane to assume they could win a war against a country with at least twice their population and vastly more territory and resources. They had to have known they had precious little time after sniping the Pacific Fleet to secure their territory against inevitable counter attack. Mostly this just makes me want to play multiplayer games as Mexico, being the USA's main opponent to keep them out of the European wars, WW1 style all the way baby.

Drone posted:Real-life Imperial Japanese High Command: literally dumber than Paradox AI. Well if the oil and other materiel embargoes were implemented in any sort of realistic way, the choice would be to declare on at least the NEI (which should probably give the US an event to intervene) or lose a bunch of IC and have all your ships and half your troops stop functioning in a year. That might affect the decision somewhat.

A legit concern of mine in my current HoI3 game as Italy is that, even though I got fascists elected to the White House using spies, the dumbass Japanese AI is going to do Pearl Harbor anyway unless I can somehow align the USA to Axis fast enough to have them join.

Does anyone know what the factors that are that Japan weighs for invading the Philippines? I never got that to fire possibly because my buildup was so aggressive. I sort of expected that by denying them resources constantly, I'd at least get some kind of antagonism modifier that would make them more irate.

Making it so the best plan for defeating Japan isn't just heading straight for Tokyo is probably as important to work on as getting a Pearl Harbor type event right.

Yes, there should be something to make it hard to take Tokyo for the allied player. Perhaps some kind of "fortress" in the bay.

That's the dumbest thing about it, why would your spies be able to orchestrate a regime-change like that and have it stick? It's fun but dumb. Like that time where I spammed spies to make both Japan and USA communist but only managed to get Japan in the Comintern. So I'm now at war with USA and their Stalinist puppet government I installed myself because pearl harbor.

Speaking of fun but dumb... If you were of the mindset to do a pulp/super-science mod for HoI, how would you make jetpack/rocketter infantry stand out as unique in a strategic/grand-strategy rules set?

Another thing I just realized that an earlier start date has going for it, is government changes. I remember working so hard to turn Turkey Communist just in time for the war in hoi3. It was fun-ish. Would have liked more subtle influences like stroking the fires of revolution/ideology shifts though. :/

PS Podcat you already did the National Dog dev diary, but I think it'd be funny if you guys also did a dev diary that explained the new tank tech tree/tank advancement would basically be a Princess Maker game, but with a tank. If I knew how to use photoshop I would include a picture here, but sadly I am actually not at all talented at anything.

An actual vm, it's how I've been playing darkest hour for like 2 years. Performance is fine, dh runs a lot smoother and faster in a virtual xp environment than it does natively in 8.
