Mixing Up Units

For the convenience I've been using mech infantry with SPG and usually medium tanks added in. But what I noticed is that they fare much better in combat if I were to split them and micro the each type. For example 50 medium tanks in their own get much better odds against the same opponent compared ...

Re: Open Beta Patch v1.30 (25 feb 2026)



Very nice as always. Is there consideration for adding a no nukes option ? Lategame could be more fun if instant death wouldn't be raining from above if the cold war turns hot :P

Edit: Looks like cannot create a new planet as the game crashes after the colonization phase.

Editing Diplo Relations

I've been trying to make peace with AI but editing relations, diplopact etc. doesn't work and the diplomatic relations are stuck at war even though we're friends and 100 rel. Which row do I need to edit for peace ? Also somehow my Foreign Relations Council went away during the editing.

Certain Events Always Happening ?

Playing as a small nation sandwiched between two majors on par with technology and possibly more advanced econ. One of them is friendly with high relations but I always keep receiving senate turns against us event at 66th turn and failing it no matter how many turns I've rolled back or changed diplo ...

Re: Open Beta Patch v1.26f2 (15 june 2024)

Fine tuning of farms in 1.26e seems weird, what if we actually like a map cluttered with farms ? :lol: Open air farming aesthetics with map mods are actually nice to have. Also a big city should be able to support more farms as they're kinda workforce intensive.

Re: Open Beta Patch v1.25e (2 jan 2024)

AI majors seem to be unable to feed themseseves in 1.25d. Even with extreme difficulty, nemesis and severe violence, majors declare war and their soldiers just die by themselves without any interference :lol: Minors with sentinels are much harder than majors.

Thank you. A tooltip for these techs would be nice as one or two of them have it and others don't.

Upgrades and Models ?

Do upgrade techs like advanced sensors or hyper explosive ammo need new models to be applied or are they retroactive ? I remember lineer techs not being retroactive so wanted to make sure if I need to design new models or just continue using current ones.

Logistics Problem vol. 23416

So the problem is, I have the ports and local production of metals and food. But somehow buildings and units can't get them. Also MTH contract LP's feel too low. Is there anything I can do to defend this area or should abandon it, protect a small beachhead with a handful of units and build up ...

Re: Oh holiest One Vic please let us clear forests, drain swamps etc



It would be cool if months long combat could result in deforestation or replacing tiles with a battle scarred variant.

Just to drive home the scale:
The entirety of the D-Day Invasion fits into 1 Hex and 0.5 turns.

Actually, given the incredible sizes of hexes Units control way too much ...

Wonders of Mercator. Besides Russia European nations are very small even though our 'hexes' are not 200km wide.

3. Hydro-Electric dams would be cool.
With major changes to rivers/lakes and upcoming ocean patch(x-pack?) I think this idea is worth a shot. Just as we can harness volcanic energy hydropower should be a thing in wet worlds, maybe even some terraforming features like dam lakes in the future.

I do enjoy the logistics and trying to make sure the paths are correct, but I never understand why by default troop supply is not allowed to use 100% of the points on the road?.... mind bogling.
