<t> I always interpreted the blackmail as more of a strong arm thing<br/>
<br/>
We will attack you unless you pay us 800cr!<br/>
<br/>
I have heart and I'm not going to let you pick on me, i choose to not pay<br/>
<br/>
Lose heart<br/>
<br/>
BUT i've been known to scan some of the text and ...

Assuming heart is courage, or guts, then rejecting a blackmail attempt shouldn't cause me to lose heart

any thoughts on this? maybe a mis-translation?

<r> demiare I don't understand how I made a mistake, I chose from the techs given to me. Its turn 42 and I have no solar and no power<br/>
Are you saying that after researching like hospitals and sealed roads(giving me 2 of the 3) I should never research anything again until I discover power plant ...

<t> Yea i had about 6 turns left of power, so I cranked up my discovery to 92%<br/>
Waited patiently for results and got....deep core mining FML!<br/>
so now its coming down to the wire, i have about 2 turns left of power and i get volcanic energy tapping!! this is my chance to turn it around at ...

I should mention that I did start with the 4 councils, so I did have economic council

I guess in the early game I need to min/max to the extreme so that I can find a power source. I think i question the core concept of the system that tech discovery is random and arbitrary

<t> I'm getting very frustrated with the arbitrary nature of the tech discoveries<br/>
access to power via the power plant or solar panels is critical as you transition into midgame<br/>
I have discovered 12 techs in economy so far and no power<br/>
<br/>
feels bad man<br/>

anything I ...

<t> Hazard, I did not change any settings for any models, when I look in my models tab for rifleman I and II current quality level is set to default/none<br/>
<br/>
when i look in unit admin tab (wow cool this is how i name my units!!) for my MG bn it has 3 of 10. It says its missing 5 infantry ...

<t> Units involved are standard light infantry brigade units missing Rifleman I or Rifleman II<br/>
and standard recon missing buggy I and buggy II<br/>
My current after war/recovery requirements are 1700 infantry and 3 buggies<br/>
I was a little paranoid so once I saw that there was an issue I ...

<t> I have a lot of replacements sitting in my replacment pool and not going out to units.<br/>
I thought maybe its because my units are too far out in the hinterlands so I took a recon unit strength 3(needs 2 replacements) and moved it allllll the way from my far borders all the way back to my HQ ...

As I understand it the game has hot seat multiplayer and PBEM

Are there any plans to add internet multiplayer play? like say Civilization?

<t> AH HA!<br/>
Thanks for all the advice, it seems pop happiness in my home city is at 18. Yikes!<br/>
the thing is workers are at 82, I increased wages and upgraded to Barracks II. Next turn i will upgrade the Vidcom to II<br/>
I have a vidcom so I don't know what these people want, they are ...

<t> Hi, I have never seen this before but my nation stopped producing new recruits. I'm not sure how to diagnose the source of the problem, when i look in reports I don't really see a way to address this issue, but maybe im looking in the wrong spot.<br/>
<br/>
Can you advise me where to go in the ...

Regime feats? How do i view regime feats!!?? I didn't even know there was such a thing!

Vic, I sent you the file, thanks for looking at it

<t> My main city is Caldos, I now I have 17 Caldos extra militia Bn's that have been generated automatically, and its turn 20. Every turn militia Bn's are popping up like popcorn!<br/>
<br/>
I have not seen the game produce so many and the main change is I am now running 1.02<br/>
<br/>
I guess ...

Great info guys, I think i'm also going to add an additional house rule to have Soviet forces stand and fight on a few of the early turns, as opposed to retreat and reorg.
Comrade Stalin wants the fascists defeated at the border!

<r> Hi, im trying to train myself to play the game again after not playing for a few years. I want to play as the Soviets against the German AI in 41' campaign. I expect this would be pretty casual since its the AI, so I'm wondering what settings you suggest I put the German AI at in order to make ...

<t> This is great info guys<br/>
<br/>
I think I will try some night bombing and see how it goes, when i get my P38s set up I will try to sweep from Cook<br/>
I will also try a sweep from Buna(I agree with your pragmatic strategy Loksenna, I dont see Buna living for too long, probably not Milne ...

<t> Yes let me clarify:<br/>
<br/>
PM Airfield is prime target <br/>
My CV's raided PM once but I cannot hang out nearby due to KB <br/>
<br/>
I own Horn but it has only the original troops. I have Milne Bay but its airbase is not developed, I have Buna and it might be AF 1, its improving but ...

<t> I've never quite understood the Japanese need for Alaskan Adventures, its seems like expenditure of resources for little gain<br/>

Why not wait until around the time a US player would be sending their reinforcements up there and do a little surface raid to catch some transports, then ...
