Few suggestions for better gameplay and more realistic game

Since now, when Romania entered the war with Soviet Union, it automatically joined the Axis.
Right now it will no longer happen, and Germans will join the war only if will decide to help Romania.

Decision will be left to the German side.
How will it be implemented, will there be no chance of early Soviet entry, or could we have a tick box option to have the possibility of an early entry at low odds, just to make sure you don't leave the Eastern border completely undefended (if you want to use the option).

My suggestion is – event where Germany will decide to help or not Romania in war with USSR over Bessarabia. If decide to help it means DOW to USSR. BUT to avoid misuse of this event if Germany has decided to help Romania USSR must have choice to step down and give up from Bessarabia. Of course, consequences of this must be that USSR entry to war on Allied side and war readiness is increased.

Thank for info doomtrader. If you can, please answer me on my other questions above.

Thanks for information. I will do the same or we can try PBEM against each other? I can play one or two turns per day in late afternoon hours (CET). Are you interested?

I am interested, but I prefer to wait a little time before, to get familiar with the gameplay. As the Grand Campaign seems to be unplayable for me for the moment (I hope a patch will come soon), we could try Barbarossa or Clash of Titan ? (I am GMT hour)

I would like to try Barbarossa if you agree. Pick your side.

Is there any chance will get the first patch before Christmas? That'd be just grand...

Most probably only the betas can get the files, but I can not promise that.

It would be great a quick hotfix for the Romania/URSS Bessarabia affair forcing Germany to war in june 1940, which ruins the Grand Campaign absolutely, please.

Great! I'll test it now!

Thanks a lot for the quick hotfix. This is the kind of support I always dream of from developers, but almost never happens.

I have had some doubts because you haven’t answered all of my questions but this is great move guys. Thanks.

Just because Germany helps Romania it doesn't mean war. Once again you are jumping to conclusions.

Romania has to be aligned with Germany.

That chance goes up greatly if you help Romania.

Anyhow, Russia still has a small chance to go to war. It's not 100%

Hi gents

Merry Christmas!

I have two issues with the game.

1st one is that the hotfix for the Romania issue is not working as designed. New game (two new games, actually), nothing changed, no dialog opened, no chances, going to war with the Commies in 1940 always...

2nd one, I can't reload any saved game from mid 41 onwards. It ctd. It happens when I have played 90+ turns. Even with a fresh restart, executing the game as administrator, etc.. the loading bar almost reaches the end, and then crash to desktop. I have played three German Campaigns and it happens always at the almost same point. My comp is a quad with 4 gb ram and Nvidia gtx460, so its not its fault, imho. Its becoming very frustrating...

TIA

Hi miki,

1. Are you sure, you have unzipped the file into the right folder?
It is very important to unzip it into the right place, and overwrite the old one.

2. Please send me the save game file to leszek.lisowski[at]wastelands-interactive.com

Hi Doom,

The folder with the savegame weights 38 mb... which files from it do you need?

doomtrader · Post by **doomtrader** » Mon Dec 26, 2011 8:28 pm

miki, did you mean that zipped save game folder weights 38 MB ?

miki · Post by **miki** » Mon Dec 26, 2011 9:06 pm

Hi Doom!

I have sent you the folder in a .rar file, which weights half the zipped one. Thanks again.

doomtrader · Post by **doomtrader** » Mon Dec 26, 2011 9:58 pm

I sent it back

Hi Doom

It works.

Muchas gracias.

Hi gents,

I don't know if this has been raised before. If so, sorry for duplicate things.

I would love to see the "L" hotkey (max reinforcements for selected land unit) working for air units. Its a clickfest when I want to bring my luftwaffe units to full strenght as it is now.
