Doomsday Government Sliders

Paradox Doomsday v1.1 & v1.2 Readme

Installing Doomsday appears to create a conflict with HoI2 (note: this will be different on everyone's machine depending on where they installed Doomsday):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\HoI2.exe]
"Path"="H:\\Doomsday"
@="H:\\Doomsday\\HoI2.exe"

It appears that if you delete this registry key then both HoI2 and Doomsday work (at least on my machine). There is no need to re-install.

Game speeds:

• Normal - 1 second per hour aka 12 minutes per month aka 2.4 hours per year
• Below Normal - 2 seconds per hour aka 24 minutes per month aka 4.8 hours per year
• Slow - 4 seconds per hour aka 48 minutes per month aka 9.6 hours per year

My group has run further testing. Our conclusion is that to play multiplayer "slow" is the fastest reliable speed once combat breaks out. Hence we figure that a reasonable game of playing from 1936 to 1939 at "normal" and then playing on "slow" from 1939 to 1943 results in a game lasting roughly 48 hours (aka 12 sessions at 4 hours per session).
