gonna test it on detail sometime later.

for now i can just suggest scenario-specific focus trees, since the way the focuses work seem to be per civ, rather than per scenario.

LMAO, so, tech does affect war performace (fucking cool, really, i love it)

which gives me the idea that there should be a tech slider that decreases the turns that it takes to recruit troops.

since, 150k troops take 60 turns, maybe we could accelerate that 😭



by the way
this is how a capitulated country looks like in the war menu

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS, I do wonder, is there a discord server related to this project? I am rather interested and see a great future with this, and perhaps might implement this into Ultimate Second Great War.

we need documentation on how to do focuses, now that i think about it.

which map is this?

bug report:

income still caps at the integer limit

[Random_Greek 11]

I got Java 17 and it opens, however, it gets stuck on loading the focuses

please help 

[RostislavMerte 110]

I am here.

 

 

 

So, i can't really judge it much since i am an android player.

 

 

 

BUT this will be sick if it does come out on Android. This thing, in combination with 2.5, could literally mod the game to be an undefeatable competitor for hoi4

[PeteFromPat 406]

Been playing around with it, and its absolutely amazing!

Well done with creating this engine, it is one of the best!

If you add religions then it will be perfect.

Best of luck with the mod 👍

tl:dr

the mod apparently doesn't load properly the palletes according to a debug read i made muhself.
so, what you can do about it?

eh, just set the starting scenario to the test scenario (copy it from the template/scenarios folder to "yourmap"/scenarios if there's no one)

it worked for me.

and that's why it works on tno flawlessly, since it boots up the test scenario rather than the 1962 one for example
