My real question with East vs. West is how long will a game take? I mean, it looks like they're modelling down to the hour like HOI. but an average HOI game lasts what, 12 years unless you go Maximum Hitler for full world conquest? This game is 1950 to 1991 right? That's like a good 4 HOI games back to back. That's going to take forever if its Hot War non stop.

First HoD game as Scandinavia. I've been engaged in a colonial competition with the US for the past three years or so. We're both at colonial level 11 in some tiny area of Burundi, but nothing else happens. Shouldn't a crisis or something kick off? Do I just keep tacking on more fortifications to this guard post forever?

So I decided to boot up HOD with New Nations Mod and try a little Balkanization game. I released pretty much every sub nation the majors can lose. Europe is hilarious, but at the start the US can only lose like, five provinces to new nations. If the CSA doesn't stick around, they're going to blow everyone away.

Gorgo Primus posted:It has begun! So we can have Prime Minister Neckbeardicus, but they decide to leave out Kim Campbell? Yeah she was only prime minister for half a year, but going by those death dates (which I'm assuming is the end of the scenario, late 1993), she's still within the time period at mid 1993. But nope, random forums dudes over our only female prime minister. Oh well, at least I'll be able to conquer the world as Joe Clark, immortal God Emperor

Farecoal posted:I don't think I've ever played a game in windowed mode It's pretty much the only way to get Darkest Hour working in Windows 8. Full screen lags like crazy, but for some reason if you run it in Windowed Mode it works fine. ...Sort of. You have to set the resolution to like 1% less than your native res because if the window ever moves even a single pixel off screen, the game crashes.

I recently tried (again) to get back into HoI3, since I know it has its fans, but I really just can't. And Darkest Hour runs like a turd for me on Windows 8.1. Run in windowed mode with the rest set to bout 1% lower than your screen res in the config file. No idea why that fixes the weird lag, but I've been playing for a couple weeks with that trick and it runs normal. Just never move the window or the game crashes.

The only reviews on the store page are positive, but there's just like 15 of them so I'd rather trust the Pdox thread. I doubt I'll pick it up in EA anyways, but it'd be good to know if it's worth wishlisting. I've never not been disappointed by a Supreme Ruler game so I'd be wary. Cool idea, usually mind bogglingly bad execution.

The last time I tried running it on Windows 8 it opened up just fine and everything, but even running it at Extreme speed took like 5 seconds to get through a single day. I think I posted it earlier, but if you run in windows 8 with resolution set to like 1% less than native res (and 16 bit colour in compatibility options I think), it runs lag free for some reason. Just don't ever move the window or it crashes.

Oh Kaisarreich....   Anyway, now that I've liberated the UK as Canada, do any more events fire for major wars (currently it's 1942). Germany steamrollered France and now with Britain out of the picture, seems like Europe will be pretty quiet for the rest of the game unless I force a war.

Well turns out the answer to my "I've liberated Britain in KR now what the hell do I do?" question was solved by Germany declaring war on the Kingdom of France (my ally. There's two Kingdom of Frances thanks to the outcome of Weltkrieg 2). Now, I've got the US on my side thanks to intervening in their civil war. Do they ever invade anything in KR (like a version of DDay?) They've got 50 divisions sitting in Boston I'd love to use but since I'm no longer leading the alliance I can't take control of them.

Randarkman posted:You could switch over to the UK, like I did, you will be the leader of the Entente and your IC should grow large enough to control most of your allies, though if its the actual US and not just balkanized puppets like in my game it is very likely that their IC has grown pretty big already I'd say so you won't be able to control them. If I tag switch to the US and grab those forces as an Expeditionary Force, will they just grab them back when I switch back? If I switch to the UK, I think I'll lose the nukes I'm stockpiling as Canada. And I'm pretty sure those will come in handy.

Westminster System posted:The AI does tend to do amphibious invasions in DH - a lot - if their AI file tells them to do it. Most of the time you never notice when its your allies because they tend to fail. In KR, National France tends to do it pretty well to the Commune - and I've had Canada land in Britanny, Australasia land in Normandy and Canada also leading an amphibious invasion of Sicily without my involvement. You'll also tend to notice people like Italy are pretty good at invading the Balkans via beaches in Albania and Dalmatia because their AI tells them to. Well hopefully they join in once I invade because Germany and their France have left large parts of the north French coast completely unguarded so let's see how far some forty odd divisions can get me. If I can ramp up nuke production and get lucky with some encirclements, maybe I can pull it off. My worry isn't taking France, it's the apparent 120 or so divisions Germany has...somewhere according to my intelligence. Figures this game Russia decided to not poke around it's western neighbours for once. But yeah, now I think of it Entente France did invade Italy on its own. Got stuck half way up the boot and needed me to bail them out with half a dozen motorised divisions, but they did get it started.

So a couple invasion attempts later and I'm not sure I can do it without the US or UK AI helping out. Landing 40 divisions is easy, and I can usually take Brittany or most of Normandy before the Germans can respond. The problem is when they do they bring a shitload of armoured divisions. After landing my units (except for the paratroopers I used to take the undefended port I landed at) are at yellow to red org and don't have time to recover before they get smashed by the armoured pain train. Also, despite nuking Berlin and several industrial centres, it doesn't seem to affect them all that much. Mr Luxury Yacht fucked around with this message at 15:44 on Oct 15, 2014 |

DStecks posted:This is a stupid newbie question but in DH which historical bookmark is the one you're supposed to pick? 1914 and 1933 are bad choices, so I've heard, so is it 1936? 1936 is the standard start. 1933 is only if you want to try Communist Germany and 1914 is a completely separate WW1 scenario. I think it stops at around 1920.

They take most of Aragon but never actually annex or finish it off. In all the games I've played in EU3 I literally never saw Spain form. Admittedly I didn't usually play with historical lucky nations but still, you'd think it would happen once. Just got back into seriously playing EU4 but this current game doesn't look to good for Castile either. They just don't want to take the last couple Aragon provinces.

Unless there's a little bit of railroading to help the balance. Like, say you go Soviet America. The game then starts pushing other nations towards the other ideologies to balance. Like going Soviet America gives Russia a big probability to switch to something not Communist. Or (really ahistorical I know) suddenly south and central America has unified into an anti-comintern 'nation' you now have to fight on your doorstep. I mean its a bit complicated and I doubt its being done like this but I can dream can't I?

A Victoria to HOI 4 converter would be pretty cool, if hard as hell. Like, grade countries on ranking/power and shuffle them into the normal three blocks to start: Democracies, Fascists, and Commies. Make the monarchies/etc... able to tend towards each alliance based on balance. If its unbalanced still, give the player a couple options to "Flip" countries before conversion.
