Italian convoys hanging out in LA
modifiy the italy.inc file in the 1936 scenario archive (This bug is in the
1939, and 1941 ita.inc files as well)
Note the convoy path goes through 92, that happens to be Los Angeles... it is supposed to be 892, the Eastern Ionian Sea.
change the 92 to 892;
code:
convoy =
{
id = { type = 17120 id = 10005 }
# convoy shipping supplies to Rhodes
path = { 903 894 92 884 885 }
transports = 7
escorts = 0
oil = no
coal = no
supplies = yes
steel = no
rubber = no
}

In the 1936 scenario, (not 39 or 41), china should start with a cavalry group thats unfortunately, militia.
the China.inc file is wrong, last few lines read thus;
code:
division = {
id = { type = 11695 id = 84 }
name = "4th Cavalry Corps"
type = militia
}
It should say;
type = cavalry

These units are pre-queued builds that are hardcoded with completion dates and
costs. The above data is a modification of the existing UK initialization file.
The existing file causes the UK ai to spend 3-4 times the normal amount of daily
IC production on these units. This revised code was very carefully recalculated
based on the historical percentage completed at the start of the game (Jan 1,
1936) and the amount of game time remaining for the build as compared to normal
game daily IC costs.
The existing UK initialization file wound up meaning the UK AI essentially build no new units until 1942. By pasting the above code into the 1936 UK.inc file in the relevant section, the UK AI should perform much better, and begin to construct new land units as early as late 1936. This should affect overall UK AI performance in the game, but I have yet to test that.
With this revised data, UK will now have a build cost of 41 IC, rather than the 114 IC called for by the inflated costs and extended build times in the original file. This actually gives the UK a small surplus right at the start of the game.
Note : I must repeat that these revised build costs were very carefully calculated by using historical data. All the "completion dates" are drawn directly from UK Naval Registers. These were mostly correct in the original file, but the problem was that the hardcoded amounts were extended over many days to the historical completion dates. Producing these same units manually would result in quicker construction, in some cases by 1/4 the amount of game time.
So, I calculated the historical percentage of completion on Jan 1, 1936, based on the historical start and end date of the units, and refactored the daily IC cost so that the UK player or AI winds up paying in Daily IC costs what it would have cost to complete the same unit manually. The historical completion dates have therefore been preserved, but the IC cost was reduced to reflect a more accurate game cost for these units based on how much of them had been completed at the start date of the game.
Both UK players and people who want to see UK AI perform better should consider using the above data.
Suggested Changed & New Events
- Bolt Fri 6th/ Sat 7th
Not implemented yet - JFW
Events
NEW - Berlin 1936 Olympics (Orlando)
- Reduces WE for US and Western European democracies by varying amounts (see event file for details)
NEW - US Aids China (event authoring assisted by Steeleagle)
- China receives supplies, oil, and rubber.
- Triggered by Nanking Massacre event.
- Not linked to any US action because of the large private efforts.
- Event includes a gift of technologies, but it is not clear the techs are actually
recieved in this version of HoI. The event dialog does list the techs recieved
correctly. Techs recieved are Early Infantry Weapons, Light Mortars, Great War
Experience Analysis, Static Defense Doctrine, 2 Industry techs that allow Coal
to Rubber conversion, Air Doctrine and Flying Circus Doctrine (to represent
the effects of the Flying Tigers - also many people are unaware that China had
an extensive private aviation effort going on in the 1930s.)
- Nationalist China should no longer be steamrolled by Japan, and the war there
should devolve into stalemate (at least with Ai vs Ai conflicts).
NEW - Guernica
- If Nationalist Spain takes a certain province from Republican Spain after
August 1, 1936, and the Germans have intervened in the conflict, the historical
Guernica Bombing is assumed to have taken place.
- Effect is a minimal reduction in WE for European democratic powers to represent
the fears of terror bombing in a new war (i.e. increased impetus to avoid a
general european war).
- Triggers a UK and FRA event for greater flavor if players are playing those
countries.
NEW - Good Neighbor Policy
- Random event which shifts alignment of all Central and South American countries
a small bit towards democracy (+10, slightly less for Argentina, Bolivia, Peru,
Columbia, Chile).
- 5% chance per month.
NEW - America First Committee (Orlando)
- Occurs September 1, 1940.
- Reduces US WE a bit.
MODIFIED - Creation of Nationalist Spain
- Spain is somewhat less aligned with the Axis powers generally. This should prevent almost certain alliance between Fascist Spain and Germany. The Germans will have to work for it.
MODIFIED - German and Italian Intervention in Spain
- Both interventions now give certain amounts of supplies, oil, rubber and
manpower.
- Italian manpower contribution increased to 80.
- All resources added to Nationalist Spain are also subtracted from Italy and
Germany. Italian contributions are inflated to represent difficulty of transport,
wastage, and corruption (therefore, they lose more material than Nationalist
Spain actually recieves)
MODIFIED - Winter War Event
- Event will not happen if Poland exists
- Event will not happen if SU is at war with either GER or JAP.
- Existing event restrictions were not altered (i.e. will not happen if Finland
is already a puppet of SU, etc).
- Effect of these modifications means that its less likely to occur, and shouldn't
mess up Barbarossa, whenever that occurs.
MODIFIED - Nanking Massacre
- US WE changed from +10 to +5
Map Changes for 1936 Scenario
- Increased Existing Maginot Line fortification value increased to 50.
- Added Mannerheim Line fortifications in Viipuri
- Increased Leningrad fort value
- Added Danzig land and coastal forts value 3
- Added Vladivostok land fort value 3 (Soviet Pacific Defense System)
Country Changes for 1936 Scenario
- UK pre-queued naval build costs reduced to accurate levels.
- UK gets 5 free Transport Units in March 1936.
- UK transports in convoy system increased to 1000
- UK added Infantry Division to Somalia
- CAN, AUS, NZ, SA get Transport Unit technology, Naval Infantry and Marines
techs
- US transports in convoy system increased to 1250
- US gets Marines tech and Marine Unit at Norfolk
- US starting resource pools corrected.
