The Current war with Equestria feels good from at least Equestrias side, its hard but you can win it if you hold out, The problem is that Stalliongrad is the turning point in the war, them joining allows you to push into the Changeling forces massively and ultimatly win, Stalliongrad joining the war should be costly, it should cost the land that they consider core territory at the very least.

The stagnation of harmony penalty is too big.Equestria can't build anything at all untill they are attacked.Could you consider reducing its severity?

All in all great mod, it is clear you put in a lot of effort and it shows, altough it still needs a lot of work, especially with balancing, I played a game as Equestria and when the changelings attacked I completly stomped them, mostly because of Staliongrad who had 101 divisions, I don't know whether this is a problem with the mod or if I'm a lot better at the game then I thought, but I feel it was worth mettioning.

We're currently still busy trying to tweak and balance the bigger nations (So Equestria, Stalliongrad and the Changelings, mostly). A big problem for the changelings is that they lack infrastructure, so they are very slow in getting additional factories up, apart from their entire army fighting on half strength against Equestria because of attrition from lack of supply.

We hope to get this fixed soon.

Ps: Perhaps you should take a look at which division templates those 101 Stalliongrad divisions belong to, as the AI usually prefers mass producing bad, custom templates rather than create one or two great ones. So my clue would be that those 101 divisions they have are militia or something bad like that.

Thanks for the feedback, though! Appreciated ^-^

not so much balancing but I feel like it would be better here than in suggestions, the Griffon Frontier/Virgilia doesn't have enough focuses in the non-Griffon funded tree to be able to complete continuous focuses (which I feel would help as they don't have much to do with all that pp otherwise). Theres a similar problem with stalliongrad with their dark wing path, as they're one focus off. apart from that and the generic focus's not showing Harmony as Democracy, or giving the support bonus's, i'd say it's a really good mod. also maybe have the stalliongrad AI less likely to go for dark wing route? it kind of gets rid of what could be a major power too easily.

I just got the mod today, and I am enjoying it so far. The only thing that had me confused was during my play through as Equestria, my civilian factories were automaticaly converting to military factories in the early stages of the game. The conversion did not show up in my construction cue either, so I'm not sure if that's supposed to happen or if it was a problem with the mod itself.

So played as Stalliongrad, became a technological and industrial monster, (Equestria and their ally puppeted the changlings). All of them on low manpower (outside of changelings) with service by requirement or hire.. my army is fully entrenched (id taken out my northern neighbor earlier) and had tier 3 airplanes and max infantry doctrine; my forces got utterly annihilated and overrun. Yet Equestria had 0 manpower and they got air superiority. You'd think the war bled them so hard they'd just bleed themselves against my entrenched troops in mountainous terrain, but somehow i get steamrolled. And even with the country i took (have the extra non core manpower) my manpower is so rediculously small even on max law i got crushed; maybe they need a buff or i just needed different divisions idk.

I think this depends on both the division template you were using and your supply status. Were your troops lacking equipment?

I probably should have fiddled with the templates, but again i was so strained for manpower i was scared to invest more divisions into the template. I had far more than enough equipment (Had more military factories than i could even use without draining my natural resources further, was 100% self sufficient). I wanted mass tank divisions and the like but felt constricted by manpower constraints the entire game; should i have gone mass assault for the extra 5% manpower down the line? Trying to see what i did wrong; i concede my airforce was small (again, manpower) but i thought troops who had been entrenched for several years as i watched equestria go up in flames would be able to hold the line against 3 nations who were in the top 2 levels of conscription which i would think would cripple their industry; suppose i should've made forts but i didn't think i'd need them, guess i was wrong ( I did have some Radar towers and max AA around the capital).

Equestria actually gets some really strong bonuses the longer the war goes on. They can get Manpower bonuses, factories and more. Plus the fact that they may have had far superior divisions because of the fact that they had all the experience from the war.
Not sure though.

Yeah i suppose i should've struck during the war, just wanted to see how it played out. Though i can tell Stalliongrad isn't fully finished (as roughly half the focus trees have generic descriptions of Name_Desc) But i did the focus to boost communism in equestria... got it to 100% and had no civil war; had to manually cause a coup which was laughably weak (funny enough it encompassed southern equestria including Canterlot castle, started it in a southern province of around 800k people with above 80% support when i began) with only around 24 divisions, no manpower, and even when i joined the war to aid them by making them a part of my faction (Tensions seems broken as it jolted from like 100 to 30 out of nowhere, had to console command up to 50 so i could join) It was simply prolonging the inevitable.

Also small quirk, is it possible to somehow have another music mod take the place of the equestrian music? Not a fan of the songs and my Sabaton soundtrack needs me x.x

The whole focus description thing is on me. Being the main writer of the dev team, it's pretty much all on me to go around and write solid descriptions for not only every focus there is but also events and news popups.


Yay me. ^^

Oh ok, so as im typing this doing a changeling game... is equestria even beatable? Despite my efforts to blitzkrieg them the country has such awful industrialization i'm choked to death by attrition after a month of conquest; yet out of nowhere countless dozens of divisions are charging at me pushing me back at an insane pace, Once again Celestia is somehow fielding a capable large army with 0 manpower.

Playing as the changelings is indeed quite challenging often times. Their main problem, as you pointed out, is supply, since they'll run out of supply and stall like in your playthrough after conquering a quarter or half of Equestria.
The Changelings aren't actually fully fleshed out yet, though, or at least that's what I've been told. We still need to test, rebalance and add some more stuff to them, including some focuses to help them out. ^^
