Is it compatible with Great War Redux?

Is this compatible with Kovas' States Reworked Expanded

I think it would really benifit from a cap on division count though. Like I said in my original comment, I notice that the AI loves to stack 30+ divisions on particular tiles, and the division counts only seem to get higher and higher. If thats a lot of the reason for performance hits then 100%, add a division cap. Or at least make it an option as part of the performance mode.

@Lubnut Ah, I see where you're coming from. I'm really just used to playing slow games and the performance being about that level (2019 or earlier). I'll keep it in mind when updating for the next DLC in case there are any useless performance hogs in the mod but the mod will probably stay on the slower side. In my experience unless something is bugging out, the pre-war years are slower in the mod but once the war starts and the division counts go up, the main performance hold up becomes those divisions and I don't really want to reduce the AI's division counts.

I have a pretty recent CPU by AMD and even with performance mode on it becomes barely playable in 1941. It actually reminds me of when I first played hoi on a very average system for 2019 and it would take 1-2 days to finish a campaign. Vanilla hoi4 on my rig can go from 1936-1944 in about 2 hours. I would 100% reccomend this mod if it wasn’t for performance, i would reccomend looking at what extra scripts you can afford to cut (i imagine having 3-4 strategies coded for individual ai composition priorities is rather taxing for example?)
Kondi  [author] 23 Oct @ 6:29am 
@Lubnut Some people mention performance problems. I very purposefully use up performance gains from new HOI4 patches to add more and more complex scripts. The performance doesn't seem "laggy as hell" on my system with a good 3-year-old CPU although there is an obvious performance hit. When it becomes truly laggy on my system, that's really the only time I can start looking for issues unfortunately.
Lubnut 22 Oct @ 5:18am 
Reading these comments is really making me feel for the mod author. People really just refuse to read anything hey.

That being said, this mod is laggy as hell. Its obviously very script heavy. The only noticable difference is that the AI seems to like doom stacking on important city victory points waiting for you to encircle them (usually 30+ at a time). The AI also makes pretty good air designs. But not worth the performance hit.

will this mod work with the new 1.16.10 update?
MechanizedWerewolf 16 Oct @ 12:26pm 
@superserb cause it's probably not fking compatible lol
SuperSerb 15 Oct @ 11:57pm

update pls

It breaks Research Tech mods Like 'Extended Tech Tree 1960' :Dogeface:

I don't agree with those that say that this mod has been superseded by Sheep's AI. They do different things. I like to have a challenging AI, but if I wanted to have a true multiplayer experience, I would multiplay.

Is there a setting to nerf Austria? For some reason whatever this mod does makes it impossible to early Anschluss. I ended up sitting around with well over a million manpower in fully equipped divisions and it still wouldn't let me take the focus.
Lance-36 24 Sep @ 5:04pm 
This mod works and from what I can tell it will never stop working. Perfect for those who have grown complacent with their single player strategys and want a somewhat player like equivalent challenge
Counter Culture 23 Sep @ 6:32pm 
Thank you for your continually work on this mod. One of the few mods I can always count on when updates come out to have some fun. :peace_hoi:
Yolo$wagger 23 Sep @ 4:52pm 
This mod used to be absolutely essential, but it has now been superseded by "Sheep's mod", which is pretty much Expert AI on Pervitin.

Thank you for all your hard work, Kondi!

ultimate tech tree mod doesn't work alongside this. meh.. expected, but would be fun if it worked so.

Hello, I have a problem or a strage occurance. I play Germany and when fighting the USSR, it was very easy on Insane difficulty. I tag switched and found out that the USSR AI only buils full infantry division with support anti air and engeneers. I have not played this mod in over a year, so what happened?
mrslash231 2 Aug @ 5:40am 
Will this mod work on another Mod, that add's stuff instead of replacing stuff?. I wanna try a zombie mod, as the AI is a tad lack-luster as far as im concerned it doesnt remove anything just adds a nation with certain buffs to make it as powerful as zombies.

Hello, is Enough on Our Hands 2.0 still compatible? If so, in what loading order?

Why does the Soviets construction line not exist? I never see anything in the queue and always see a bunch of factories being used for "National Projects"?

@Epicnuke1234 Try to read description before typing.

This breaks the research tree for rt56

I personally hate spies and the associated DLC. Your mod when I load it says this is "essential". Do you think it really makes that big of a difference?
SupremeChairman 20 Jun @ 5:10pm 
Why are there so many people sperging about this mod and how bad it is? Is it broken or are they just crying cause the AI smoked them. I guess I will need to try myself.
MyGoodMate 12 Jun @ 1:06am 
I like this mod, or at least I want to like it. However it causes extreme performance issues for me, while otherwise my game is vanilla. Slow down begins around 1940ish.
great_roman888 10 Jun @ 12:43pm 
absolute trash. played as italy. united kingdom in 1940 had 2 divisions in north africa(12 combat wide, without any support), france had 1 division in africa, corsica was empty and i defeated france with 20 divisions of infantry having 100 fighters, also france was still producing interwar fighters in 1940. germany only attacked poland in time, 1940 06 still didnt invaded france .... its not a mode its a mistake :D
Cubandude 10 Jun @ 4:41am 
I don't know what you changed in this mod but it is the greatest challenge I have ever had. Thank you so much bro.

The text in the dialog box that pops up at the beginning is all garbled, including the text description of the additional diplomatic options. How can I deal with this?
