You should add blyastok and rework the generalgovernment just for a bonus

Yes

Does this mod work with the latest patch and all the DLCs?
KubiG  [author] 9 Jun @ 12:19pm 
It should, it doesn't modify anything tech-related. Worst case - some countries will miss technologies. And thanks :)

Awesome mod! 1939 start date is underrated.

Yea

xD I played TF2 as an engineer 80% of time. Good old times.
Soviet The Cat Thing 5 May @ 5:43am 
I did not expect you to have the same PFP as my main TF2 Class
KubiG  [author] 4 May @ 7:29pm 
Yes it is, and I've updated the mod for the patch now.

Working with 1.16.5?
KubiG  [author] 12 Mar @ 1:00pm 
No, it does not cause any issues. I've fixed Iraq so far. Invasion of Iran is still disabled in my mods, because of inept AIs, but maybe with the new DLC it will be doable.
Riekopo 8 Mar @ 9:48am 
Do you recommend turning off the Graveyard of Empires DLC also?
KubiG  [author] 6 Mar @ 9:16am 
Thanks! I doubt I'll ever be 'relieved' from this job. The devs fix only about 10% of the bugs I find and it still takes them months or even years...
CelestialSword21 5 Mar @ 8:03pm 
I appreciate you always keeping this mod updated
Riekopo 4 Mar @ 1:26pm 
new update.

Thank you so much you're amazing!
KubiG  [author] 29 Dec, 2024 @ 4:47am 
Thanks for the ideas, Austrian generals are now fixed. :)

#Riekopo I've checked and I didn't find the problems you describe. The Dutch decision is there, both vanilla and in the mod.
Soviet - I don't know what you mean - that Soviet Union doesn't declare war on Poland directly? That has always been in the game like this, prevents war between Soviets and Allies.
Pacific and Japan - I've observed that as well, not yet sure what to do about it. It seems since 1.15 it also stopped invading Malaysia and instead always goes for the empty land in Indochina. That's however not the issue of this mod, the mod doesn't alter the AI behavior.
Riekopo 24 Dec, 2024 @ 9:52am 
The Dutch Decision to flood the country seems to be missing.
SaltKillsSnails 21 Dec, 2024 @ 1:32pm 
Could you possibly add the Austrian generals for Germany? I noticed them missing when playing

Love your Mod and appreciate the work!
Riekopo 21 Dec, 2024 @ 10:56am 
Playing as Germany Historical mode. The USSR isn't attacking Poland when I invade them, And after the invasion is complete the USSR is not getting any of the Polish territory.
Riekopo 13 Dec, 2024 @ 6:44pm 
Japan seems very focused on China. 1942 and they haven't been able to conquer anything in the Pacific really. They also are not doing the Decision to take over Vichy Indochina (22–26 September 1940 initially then full takeover 28 July 1941). Siam is getting quickly destroyed after becoming part of the Japanese faction.
KubiG  [author] 12 Dec, 2024 @ 6:47pm 
The AI (Germany) can simply refuse your proposal, and it refuses quite often from what I've seen. These generic "Join faction" events are unfortunately very old, very basic, and without much script. It won't even tell you what happened (why nothing happened)
Riekopo 11 Dec, 2024 @ 6:38pm 
Trying to join the Axis as Turkey. Did the Focus for it but it's not working.
pc_suffering 10 Dec, 2024 @ 1:46am 
agree, each time I play in 1939, China dies quick
KubiG  [author] 9 Dec, 2024 @ 11:38pm 
The 1939 china LL problem has been there like ever since I played HoI IV and fixing it in the mod would require a drastic overhaul of all OOBs.
Countries in 1939 start with equipment deficits and slightly smaller armies than what the AIs reach from 1936 start. So 'no one wants' to send anything to china, because they have nothing to spare (or they think so).
SU is a major LL country for china, but in 1939 sends almost nothing before it is attacked by Germany. Again, starts with huge inf.eq. deficit.
KubiG  [author] 9 Dec, 2024 @ 11:33pm 
It's been reported twice now so maybe there is some problem, I'll look at it tomorrow? And - just with 1939 mod, or 1939 + IAI research?

The industry changes (historical option):
FRA +6 CIV +10 MIL (+7 Docks from Focuses)
ENG +20 CIV +6 MIL +4 Docks
SOV +13 CIV +5 MIL +2 Docks +2 Synth.Refinery
USA +48 CIV +11 MIL +about 40? building slots
CAN +9 CIVs and some building slots

- I used 1939 GDP with Germany as a reference and IC cost as a 'value' of each factory.
USA is still about 70% of historical value though, but 100% kind of breaks balance and negatively affects the game.
- Balanced option gives nothing to USA and CAN, and less to ENG.
Riekopo 7 Dec, 2024 @ 9:47pm 
Don't know why but Germany isn't attacking France/Belgium and it's Oct 1940 already. Italy is attacking France alone and making no progress.
Riekopo 6 Dec, 2024 @ 6:21pm 
China doesn't seem to be getting any Lend Lease support from anyone and seems to be performing kinda bad against Japan. This is with the 1939 start and Balanced industry setting.
Riekopo 5 Dec, 2024 @ 5:06pm 
Is there something wrong with the Turkey Industrial Projects Decisions? After I do one of them I can't do anymore and I don't know why.
Riekopo 1 Dec, 2024 @ 7:27pm 
Can you explain in detail what the optional industry changes are?
Riekopo 30 Sep, 2024 @ 11:39am 
They prob just don't care about the 1939 start at all. And also their bug fix process is probably much more drawn out than how quickly modders work.
KubiG  [author] 30 Sep, 2024 @ 6:01am 
Me neither, this mod is 5+ years old now and some bugs I fixed back then in version 1.5 are still in the base game... And many were reported as bugs.
There's usually some sort of 'But only 5% of game starts are 1939, we have more important things to fix!"
DarthyMaulocus 25 Sep, 2024 @ 5:45am 
i really dont understand why this stuff isnt in base game..like devs please snatch stuff from mods to improve the base game!
Riekopo 29 Aug, 2024 @ 3:23pm 
new war effort patch dropped
KubiG  [author] 16 Aug, 2024 @ 12:36pm 
Lol you're right, fixed. :-)
arienam 15 Aug, 2024 @ 10:44am 
'DoD' dlc doesn't exist

KubiG  [author] 13 Aug, 2024 @ 5:39am 
Another mod conflicting probably.
RomanEmperor 10 Aug, 2024 @ 8:23am

Add more oil deposits in norway- historically accurate
Laysered 6 Apr, 2024 @ 11:07am 
this is a great mod, the devs might as well remove this date if they aren't going to update it
KubiG  [author] 23 Mar, 2024 @ 9:12am 
Nothing important, just udpated the gamefiles to match 1.14
GlitchyAE 22 Mar, 2024 @ 8:29pm 
Great
Riekopo 22 Mar, 2024 @ 7:56pm 
What did the March 19 update do?
oildrum001_explosive.mdl 7 Mar, 2024 @ 8:07pm 
update
pc_suffering 14 Feb, 2024 @ 1:24pm 
I love it. There is an opinion that nobody plays 1939 but that's simply not true.
Cwuel 9 Feb, 2024 @ 3:22pm 
we played scenario in MP and everyone agree sov army malus makes defense virtually impossible against germany with historical alliances
KubiG  [author] 7 Feb, 2024 @ 4:06am 
It's just the bad AI combined with many starting maluses.

Try the Improved AI Research mod, it improves this a bit, and anyway just adding the 2 difficulty ticks to the Soviet Union stops it from losing completely, and more or less doing ok.
Cwuel 7 Feb, 2024 @ 1:16am 
Something additional is needed to make Soviet able to resist at all at any point of the line before Moscow to make it plausible.
Riekopo 6 Feb, 2024 @ 8:03pm 
Will this mod work with either of the community bugfix mods?
