1) Why I can't have one large bureaucratic center in the capital (big enough for my wallet) instead of many smaller ones spread across various cities. Does it provide anything other than research points?

It's not about several small bureaucratic offices instead of one large one, but about having ...

This seems like a good idea because it's not certain that Vic even read this post to the end.

Let's just say there are two problems:
1) The unit name should always contain the term "militia" on its thumbnail, as indicated in its popup. It seems that when the militia uses a new, more advanced ...

and yes, person who is designing new models is important too, his intelligence and technician skill (but that can be trained, especialy if you have cards which grants xp to leaders) are most important. intelligence more.
i discovered that with poor models designer you will yeald low results from ...

Thanks for the save, I've never seen a game lasting more than 140 turns.

A few notes to help you improve:

Your frontline units don't have HQs or postures. So you easily lose 100% attack/defense.

You're underestimating applied science because you don't understand it: it follows an exponential ...

I agree with Starfry. And they have a very low moral!
Can we have a save for testing purpose?

if airbridge dont bring lp, then it is good for exactly what ? only transporting units ? doest it tranport material or not ?
i didnt used airbridge to much, so it was my thoughts that it works same way as naval transport, but obviously it is different.
From manual
Air Bridges can be used for ...

it is very simple - you need to increase capacity of air bridge, so it have more lp capacity and once it will haveenough lp generated, you will be able to send colonists there.
but beware, sometimes not enough lp avaivable is not from end (reciver) but from source (shq zone) or booth.

when i ...

Perhaps before you try to modify the game tables, you should try to better understand how logistics works. There are a few guides on this forum that can help you, as well as an excellent video tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e80YZgnK_wg&list=PLFafHUtyTxWNa7bqcxolBFSg3gX5qSzVe&index=3&pp ...

Thanks for replying :)
You're going to have a blast with this game!

I also noticed that your two cities colonized by force are defined as regular zones instead of unincorporated, even though the population happiness is low.
I invite you to read chapter 5.3.11.4. REGULAR AND UNINCORPORATED ZONES ...

The arrival point of the colonists needs logistical points.
Maybe you need a makeshift port to generate LP on the island, see the manual:
6.2.6. MAKESHIFT PORT CONSTRUCTION
Only the MTHs are capable of constructing a Makeshift Port for you. You can order them to do so by playing the Makeshift Port ...

Very interesting, it did work this time. Did the behavior change recently where "replacement troops" will also show the count for militia units? Light Armor shows 70/80 on this save, and I don't ever remember seeing replacement militia counts in the replacement area. Probably a bug, militias ...

I just added 5 Blitzer III (which was missing for your 3 battalions) via replacement troops, and they were all replaced the next turn.
If there was a bug with the transformation from regular to militia, it doesn't seem to be happening again.
You might want to reinstall the game if you don't have the ...

Units in your SHQ, except for the Gladius and the Cataphract, are considered militias. This prevents them from being used as replacements for your regular battalions.
However, in the Replacement Troops or Models tabs, they are considered regular.
If I create a new light tank unit in the SHQ, it is ...

I hope you didn't look too closely at my cabinet though, that is a big mess. This is my first play through and there is so much to learn, but so far I'm loving it.

Thank you for your help!

It was a pleasure helping you.

For a first playthrough, you seem to know a lot more than the average ...

Thank you for the save!

The SHQ provides the items for unit creation. All item transfers from cities to the SHQ were completed at the start of the turn.

Your problem stems from the fact that you sent part of the logistics flow from the SHQ back to itself from Weimar and Osnabruck.
Here is your ...

Could you post the previous save: end of round 63?

I have version 1.26.16 on menu screen (1.26 j3 on title screen) installed is that old? It's whatever steam downloads by default. The manual says for version 1.25 and it's the one that steam shipped with it.

There have been 7 patches since your version. You can find the patch logs here
Please ...

Seeing as this empire is at "peace" with you, I'd say you're playing an old version of the game.

These trucks attack with their tire irons.

HQ Power indicates whether the unit receives the full bonuses from its OHQ or SHQ and operates in 25% increments (100%->0%) depending on the unit's distance (max 6) from its commander.
Retreat: If the number of operational troops based on integrity falls below this percentage, a forced retreat order ...
