Any good mod suggestions for doing a run of this that changes focuses and/or techs without breaking like Black Ice (crashes like a week after the war begins)?

Can you pleaseeee make a multiplayer for this in a way that the all countries declare on the players no matter the country

Everything just devolves into WW1 simulator with trench warfare. Impossible to do anything unless you use cheats to balance it out.

re: Executor i dont like that but i think i have to live with it xD

re: pomikid
That's an intentional change to bring 1939 in line with the 1937 version of the mod. You'll need to take the non-Sudetenland parts of Czechoslovakia by force.

hey Executor i just wanna recommend for an new update, cause some focuses are auto completed in the german focus tree and wont work anymore and even if you finished the focus before them, they dont work so i couldnt annex tschekoslowakia which is kinda annoying xD i would really love a fix on that things^^

I was complaining about the difficulty level before, but I was wrong—the mode is perfect. Do not change anything; it should be as hard as it is now. I was able to beat it after about 10–15 tries on Ironman mode. What a joy that was! A great challenge! Thank you for that mode!

re: Endsieg
How long did you give those minor countries? If you sit around twiddling your thumbs until 1945, eventually they'll all have switched to Scraping the Barrel conscription and thus can pump out a lot of divisions.

If you're talking about early 1939, other countries have the same number of divisions as they would in the unmodded game.

re: Akski-1337
The war starts at the beginning of 1939, unless you declare war on someone before then.

No idea about Tool pack as I've never used it. Although it seems like it should work.
Endsieg Jan 18 @ 5:30am 
sweden and other minor countries have 300 divisions with unlimited supply, maybe it's broken?
Akski-1337 Jan 12 @ 5:59am 
and is tool pack working?
Akski-1337 Jan 12 @ 5:58am

re: neobob0630
Compatability with Götterdämmerung, which broke a lot of things, was one of the main reasons for the update.

always thx for update but does it work on new german dlc?

Always glad to hear about people enjoying my mod. Hope things improve in your life. I've always found gaming a pleasant distraction from the vagaries of life.

Hey, i just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to update this mod. It's one of my favourites and I am so glad I get to play it in the new DLC. Right now a lot of shit in my life isn't going great. I just thought you might appreciate a thanks and to know your work is appreciated. Many thanks.

re: DeJaWu
It takes a lot of effort to maintain and balance just this + the 1937 version of Ragnarok. Plus an island nation would be too easy to defend. But I think there's a mod that should do what you want: 'Alone against the world', though I haven't tried it personally.
DeJaWu Dec 9, 2024 @ 7:46am 
Very nice mod. It would be great if there was a Japan Empire version of this mod. Can you make that version?
SenZz Nov 28, 2024 @ 5:51am 
I love the mod! Keep up the great work
Executor  [author] Nov 27, 2024 @ 10:38am 
I've been working on an update for the past week. The changes to Germany in the DLC are extensive and require a ton of work and testing. I don't want to release anything until it is in pretty good shape. I'm hoping to be have an update ready in a couple days though.

There must be an option to remove the triplicate combat with of the mod
Bohemianfoo Oct 29, 2024 @ 3:13pm 
revert the cobat width changes
obgryzacz1 Oct 28, 2024 @ 1:24pm 
In my humble opinion, no Czechs is fine, and everything beside THE MOTHERFUCKING COMBAT WIDH is fine too. No matter how many divs you have, you won't fill it. And when its not filled, then the whole allied zerg is just bashing its head aganist your line. At best the ratio of divisions is ~15 to 4-6. So yeah, revert the cobat width changes
Filipw5473 Sep 23, 2024 @ 11:56am 
bring back czechoslovakia focus or make it a decision to disable that focus

Coming back to this mod after a hiatus for senior year of college. Found myself laughing at what I called the play set name - PVE

please bring back fate of Czechoslovakia... it's already mind numbingly difficult, without Czechoslovak manpower industry and land, it's a hundred times harder, as you are dealing with one more country, worse defensive lines, and less industry to defend yourself with... so please bring back fate of Czechoslovakia

Division templates should be free.
JakPanJezusPowiedział? Mar 21, 2024 @ 10:37am 
To be honest after last changes this mod is a bit unplayable. It feels like it's impossible to hold the ground versus whole world when your opponents are such highly boosted. I enjoyed playing it around one year ago and that was perfect - hard, but after few retakes you were able to handle it. I know though there surely is the way to win this campaign but is it worth to try like 100 times perform totally perfect early game and load/restart the game after any micro mistake etc? It's just my humble opinion - last update took all fun out from this mod.
Lepidus Stupidius Mar 11, 2024 @ 9:32am 
It does, I started the 1937 version like 2 days ago

does it work with the new update

re: Meskita
You'll have a couple months at the start of the war to make large gains while the Allied forces assemble. After that, there'll be a period where you just need to batten down the hatches and defend. Use your tanks as mobile reserves wherever the Allies threaten a breakthrough. Eventually though, the Allied onslaught will be exhausted when they run out of equipment from the huge losses they're suffering. After that, you can go back on the offensive.

re: Meskita
I think it's probably better to go light tanks, since it'll take a long time for medium tank production to ramp up. At game start choose 'Create variant' off Improved Light Tank Chassis (not the existing Panzer II Ausf. a) and add Henschel and Close Support Gun for 6 Army XP. Production cost of 5.68 IC. Throw 50+ MILs at that and you should have around 40 panzer divisions by 1939 (assuming 8 L-ARM + 4 MOT template).

Infantry just do cheapo ones with only AA. No air force.

I'm not sure what's exactly optimal, but I did half a year of CIVs then all MILs. Anschluss early 1937 then continue on path to German War Economy.

I'd ignore the west at war start, and instead capture Denmark, overrun Czechoslovakia ASAP, advance some into Poland, and then maybe focus on Hungary -> Romania before all the tanks exhaust your fuel reserves. Strat reploy often to save fuel, they regain org fast with Mobile Warfare.
Meskita Feb 22, 2024 @ 10:01am 
I was also thinking of going with medium tanks mostly because I´m not making that many arty and will have the tungsten to do so, I was also just wondering if I should make it have good armor too or make it as cheap as possible
Meskita Feb 22, 2024 @ 9:59am 
by march 1939 there are tiles with 10/20/30 and even 40 divisions on both sides
Meskita Feb 21, 2024 @ 3:10pm 
yeah... that czech fight in the early is kinda hard because it takes a couple divisions to hold the line and tanks to close the cap, tanks that could be used in France and infantry that could hold the line in the east since the beginning
you really have some 2 months to cap france and Ive never managed to do it
got 24 light tanks and 18 inf (arty + AA) managed to make some 288 at the start of the war but they can[t hold much against the onslaught
I have been building mils from the start now since it appears to provide better results and a lot more troops as well

did you actually managed to do it?
would also be nice if we had the menu from the 1937

-playing in recruit (1 less than normal) and 50% germany strenght.. this was my best attempt but it doesnt last long..
in this one I managed to break through luxemburg but wasnt able to close the deal in any way, maybe I will be able to but as of now im not sure
Your Mom Gay Feb 20, 2024 @ 9:07pm 
I am a bit iffy on the change for the fate of Czechoslovakia change, I understand it is to make it more difficult, but I feel it made it a bit to difficult
Meskita Feb 20, 2024 @ 8:08am 
problem is, the AI also has enough time to prepare for longer
I was tring before to build a civ economy, but I might just start building mills from the start to see what happens and will prob stop trying to build only elite divisions 14-4 + eng,aa,recon,hosp,reliability

re: Sasha Klimov
Almost certainly no.

re: Klikacz
Those changes were intentional, to bring the challenge of the 1939 mod closer to the 1937 one. It was too easy for Germany to become overpowered otherwise.
Klikacz Feb 12, 2024 @ 3:07am 
Naprawcie to że nie da się anektować Czechosłowacji i Jugosławi, oraz zrobić marionetek z Węgier i Rumuni.

Yo does this work with the Germany Reworked mod?
