I really hope Sardar Shah Wali Khan was made rank 5 because someone realized how amazing his name was. That's like being a triple king! Wikipedia also tells me he was named The Conqueror of Kabul, which sounds pretty cool. fakeedit: someone who actually knows about him should tell me how cool or not he was.

Continued work on the modern mod, US holiday special edition. I have no idea if HoI4 has an election system in place (probably not) or if I can get away with just using events (please please please include a way to change leader portraits, Paradox) but I went ahead with creating the potential portraits for the United States presidents.

In streams we've seen the US run by republicans, so it seems easily possible.

The gameplay argument is probably that Germany, if they started with lvl5 generals, would be able to train further commanders during the early wars, giving them a decisive edge over UK and SU, while those countries don't have as much opportunity, so they get their 5s for free at the start of the game. Still not happy about it, because the inexperience of their leaders in the context of a "modern" war was a major problem for the allies.

It bugged me more that Germany was able to complete their entire doctrine tree (including the "desperate defense" stuff like conscripting the disabled and elderly if you so choose) before the war starts.

Can't find a single reference to a "John Montague" anywhere. I'll dip by the Regimental museum to flip through the Army yearbooks from the war years. Thomas Victor Anderson was the pre-war head of the Army and replaced in 1940, but it's a fair choice. Charles Foulkes was a fairly typical division commander. I have no idea how Harry Crerar was left out.  Gort posted:It bugged me more that Germany was able to complete their entire doctrine tree (including the "desperate defense" stuff like conscripting the disabled and elderly if you so choose) before the war starts. I noticed that too. It seems like national focus and doctrine doesn't take very long at all to research. In WWW France will be done before too long.

These revelations with respect to generals explain why we probably won't get those nifty Wikipedia links like Crusader Kings 2 has. I have a crazy idea, let's make a history war game with generals able to fill roles they actually did in history. Is that going to be DLC? super late edit: i pretty much stumbled upon this in 10 seconds of searching https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commanders_of_World_War_II edit 2: I figure I can watch the modding stream and fix what I want in a couple days but I really want to whine my rear end off about this right now since I can't play the game texasmed fucked around with this message at 02:35 on May 29, 2016 |

Supported coups taking pre-coup party popularity numbers in determining the coup strength seems off. In the latest World War Wednesday, they start supporting a coup in Spain while Communist support is at 10% but by the time it fires, support is nearly at 50%. The coup that takes place is using the 10% popularity number and so only a single division is spawned, pretty lame and doesn't make much sense, hope they change this mechanic before launch. Also will the AI be manipulating party popularity and attempting Coups? I know minors aren't supposed to have many Generals and I'm thankful for the ability to generate more with Political Power, but Peoples Republic definitely needs more than 1 general, how am I going to 100-regiment offensive the Japanese with just Mao Zedong leading the charge.

I think John Montague may be from another country. Crerar could be an army political advisor instead of a military leader like McNaughton and Billy Bishop likely are. That doesnt make a ton of sense but it's Paradox -- their research about some countries is a little haphazard. Dreylad fucked around with this message at 02:12 on May 29, 2016 |

I hope sounds will be moddable. If I cannot crush Europe under the authentic-sounding heel of the Mark V mod 1938 Hugo Boss jackboot the whole game might as well be a digital buttplug as far as I'm concerned. (The Mk V mod 1938 will give a large bonus to morale and attack balanced by a reduction in reliability to simulate the admittedly high polishing burden it historically placed on the soldier).
