-------------------------------------------------

For TRP 1.04 we have combined all those small ideas that have been coming to our mind during our ongoing work on our big manpower and resource rework. With DH 1.05 now available, we have come to the decision to publish our latest milestone (after quite some balancing and bugfixing efforts) before committing to what essentially comes down to the largest TRP re-balancing since the introduction of our revamped combat system some years ago.

Amongst the highlights for this version are new TRP-specific units and ministers. They provide a greater variety in buildup strategies and add some national flavor: The nation-specific 1937 AA cruisers for example are an interesting choice for the western allies when it comes to creating modern escorts for their capital ships, especially because of their strong defense against land-based bombers, but also thanks to their relatively low costs. However, these cruisers don't offer much concerning their effective combat range and might become a handicap in conventional engagements. Another novelty are assault guns: This brigade gets unlocked by our infantry tank technologies depending on the respective land doctrine. Especially Germany and the Soviet Union may use them as a slightly cheaper, more anti-infantry focused alternative to infantry tanks. Concerning ministers, you will find newly created chiefs of navy and armament ministers in many countries. The merchant navy focused minister is primarily supposed to meet the requirements of countries without a strong fleet or air force while the new "war armament minister" will help you with upgrading your standing army to the latest models.

On top of that, you may expect plenty of small additions, modifications, bugfixes and enhancements like several new events and decisions. Most of them contribute to the atmosphere or provide further incentives for the players, but we also had the MP gamers in mind. For instance, you will now find decisions that grant or revoke mutual military control within the "classic" factions so that all the players may now assist each other even if they are not allied or even at war yet.

Based on the information I got the latest TRP version will run on the current DH version.

[TheCr33pur]

Though about crawl back into DH, but unfort i dont hang out on Paradox Forum. Due to alot of arguments and worst, especially from the staff members of Paradox, but that is years ago when they were developing HoI4 from the beginning.

Is there another way to download that mod pack? Or can download without signing on Paradox Forum?

Wow. So I'm not the only one. They're absolutely hostile to DH players. Even the game itself. I feel obligated to speak out against Paradox. It's rare that I feel this right about something. But they're acting like absolute @$@. Someone has to say something.

[Mitth'raw'nuruodo]

Well. That is not the place to talk about PDox-Devs.

Yeah sometimes you gotta stand up for yourself, if you want something done. I dont mean to be harsh or take it the wrong ways. I been studying War in the Pacific since i was teenager, that like forty plus years ago. Just making my points and do some correction changes, so it would be more historical setups. Even for Black Ice Mods is a joke lol, got into a fight or two with them, there nothing but a bunch of misfit dum dum weekend warriors.

@Mitth'raw'nuruodo, i took a peek to see how things are setup in 1936 full scenario, not bad, but i see few natural resources are alittle off in Japan and the Pacific.

Btw have you seen my works? Not even complete, but i did some changes, especially for sprites, unit cards, etc. Check my screenshot on my profiles, there should be some in there. Its under Artwork.

Ressource rework was on our list - our long list... But it never made it into the latest TRP builds.

And for the rest; not sure what u try to tell me.

Are you still working on a new TRP update? I remember that big manpower rework was mentioned few years ago.
