tatankatonk posted:China well, Germany always implodes after Hitler dies and comes out substantially weakened and can potentially end up even more fractured and mismanaged that it already is in this version. Also, last I checked none of the Russia vs Germany stuff was actually in the mod yet so who knows how it'll actually go?

Also, I think it's supposed to take a full decade post-unification to be ready for the war? Which does add a bit more verisimilitude.

Wait ... its not like Russia signed the treaty of versailles lmao, in the lore its 1/3 occupied by nazis, being bombed every day by the luftwaffe for 20 years, was shattered into dozens of independent states, and most ppl are either living like peasants or actively avoiding bandits. I get that the writers love stuff like omsk, its just funny that atlantropa is seen as too silly for the mod but russia re-uniting and suddenly re-industrializing with hidden cobra commander factories or something is not

Granted I've only played a handful of the Russian warlord states and I don't know what you're talking about with hidden factories or lasers and poo poo. ... Hey, keep voting for who we ask for help, but we're also about to launch our 1966 product, and we need a target market! Here are the options again:          We have already sold to the Chinese, Italian, and Brazilian markets. We can do so again but the profit margins will be way less.

Also the hidden factories thing is probably referring to the west siberian statelets, who utilize bunker systems and similar to protect industry from the german bombings? Which like, their industry is still rudimentary, that's one element of what they do to adapt to it and it's only them that do that.

HoI4 mods don't seem to update for me unless I run verify local files. I recorded the next update just a few hours ago and the mod was still the version I've been using so this run should be good. e: completely out-of-context spoilers for the next update -- a country nearby and two countries far away are about to have really bad times.

The rewards are basically the same as for a product cycle launch: money, GDP growth, council seats for the developing company. As with product cycle profitability, the size of the reward scales with the number of weapons test benchmarks you meet.

Chapter 17: May - October 1966 A meeting is arranged.  Phew    It’s over.  Get hosed, Komai. And immediately as one crisis ends, another rears its head to the northwest. quote:World News   There’s very little we can actually do, as Nanjing feels our assistance would hurt more than help. We do recall the PTG from Indonesia immediately, though.  Other than that, all we can do is turn back to our next plan; kneecapping organized crime in Guangdong.  quote:World News    Given Morita’s past actions, particularly his insistence on taking in unemployed Yasuda personnel, it’s clear what his choice here would be.   quote:World News  By August, the initial explosive advancement of the NPA has bogged down as Chinese reinforcements are rushed to the area.     Finally, the Morita, Li, and Ho’s plan to attack the Yakuza kicks into high gear.   While at the same time the day-to-day business of running Guangdong continues. quote:World News     quote:World News quote:World News   There are also rumblings of more discontent at home, although nowhere near as bad as Finland … or, apparently, Colombia.  quote:World News And it’s not long before the eyes of the world light up with yen signs.   With Republican forces mopping up the last of the warlord Long Yun’s forces, the situation is deemed stable enough to once again deploy the Product Testing Research Group abroad.   Not everyone is pleased about this, but it’s an open secret that General Nagano was elbows-deep in Hitachi’s coup plot, so he can just deal with it.  Enjoy the jungle, rear end in a top hat.   After Hitachi and the Kempeitai, it’s finally time to put the Yakuza in their place, too.   Sweet, sweet victory. All that’s left is the Legislative Council’s stamp of approval, and …  It’s always loving something with these people.

Yeah if they don't succeed it's only implied to the player, but Nissan and the Manchurians were secretly funding them in order to take out a potential economic rival and expand their own operations into a new market.

The Kempeitai the japanese military police were also backing them. Although that's sort of the same thing. See, there's a massive interlink between Manchuria, which is run by a branch of the Japanese Army, and the Japanese Military Police, as would logically follow.

 VOTE! We've got a little more work to do before we finally finish off the Yakuza, but after that we need to decide what to focus on next. Here are our choices: A:  B:  C:  D:  E:  F:  G:  H:  I:  J:  must be established before the Kempeitai get too accustomed to enforcing Guagndong's laws as they interpret it. Two things to keep in mind: D and E are mutually exclusive, as are F and G; voting for one means we will be doing so at the expense of the other. Also, some but not all of these have subchoices that will be voted on if they are chosen. Moon Slayer fucked around with this message at 16:25 on Jun 25, 2023 |
