Hearts of Iron v1.05c NA

********************************* * Gameplay tweaks *********************************

***** Naval Combat - Changed transports sea and air defence to zero. - Transport ships can no longer shoot back. - In Naval Combat, escorts are more often killed before transports now. - Tweaked naval targetting algoritms. - There are now command limits for air and naval combat too. No more 200 ship stacks :) - Planes should now scramble automatically from carriers when they engage in combat, to join in bombarding. - When fog of war is off, enemy fleets are now also visible on the map, although detection still works as normal.

***** Paratroopers - Multiplied transport plane cost by 5 (a division needed around 1000 planes in order to be transported!) - Raised cost and supplyconsumption of paratroopers significantly. - Can no longer drop paratroopers if the transport planes are not fully organised. - Loading paratroopers now makes the transport planes completely unorganised.

***** Technology and Units Stats - Tech trees have been revised extensively, implementing alot more prerequisites, so it is no longer possible to tech-rush. - Reworked Tactical value for the later model Tactical Bombers - Mechanized troops are now available alot later with Mechanized HQ's. This is historical. First full mechanized divisions were not fielded before 1941 anyway. - Reworked ICcost*Duration of constructing fighters, they should now be faster to build and cheaper than bombers. - Reworked costs and durations of all plane types - Reworked panzer costs and durations. They should now be more historically linked with their type. - Added one default softattack point to marines, as well as higher default organisation (35 ~ 30). Higher speed too. It should compensate now for their longer build period and higher cost. Before, there was no point in building marines as infantry was better anyway. - Added a higher defense value and a higher movement value to bergsjaeger.

* Misc - There is now a dissent penalty for not producing too little supplies when a nation is out of stockpiles. - You should no longer be out of oil or supplies suddenly in allied territory extending from an allies homearea. - Landunits moving (not retreating) will now lose about 1% of organisation each day. - The leave alliance diplomatic action now causes the standard 7 day diplomatic delay - Unit leader names are now shown in the unit rollovers (except at the lowest intelligence level for foreign units). - Province rollovers now display the correct owner and controller - Military access is now always automatically cancelled for countries that end up at war with each other. - Reduced the english convoy transports daily-increases. - Increased US Consumer Goods Demand. - Flying Bomb and Flying Rocket are no longer influenced by bad weather - Advanced types of Nuclear Bombs now deactivate less advanced type.

********************************* * Mod Support ********************************* - Fixed alot of reported problems with mod-dir. - Scenario editor updated to conform to new data formats. - The event commands "set_leader_skill" and "set_leader_loyalty" should no longer cause CTDs if the leader has been slept. - The event command "addcore" should no longer cause problems when adding a province that is already a national province of a country. - Removed the following defunct event commands: + reveal_leader_loyalty + reveal_minister_loyalty + detect_units + minister_loyalty + leader + wake_leader - More feedback should now be given to modders on serious errors in their files.

Same for fighters. No more bi-planes all around. - Mirrored the vertical Polish flag. According to flag laws, when vertical, the Polish flag should have white on the left and red on the right - Fixed a problem with the US goverment for the 39 and 41 scenarios. Roosevelt's HoS ID was used for his HoG position as well, causing problems upon reload - Fixed an ID problem in the Japanese Minister file which caused the 1937 Elections sometimes not to show up. Also fixed another less notable ID error in that file. - Fixed lots of ID errors in the Republican Spain minister file which could cause crashes. - Fixed a minor error in the Australian 1939 setup that caused the 2nd Cavalry Division to be indestructible - Added correct AI references to all countries that had none specified in all scenarios. - Removed the coastal fort in Ilagan (Phillipines). It had no sense since there wasn't a beach either.

*********** * AI Fixes ***********

** GARRISON AI - Garrison AI should now always move divisions away from attrition provinces. - Removed a thingy in the Garrison AI that stopped the USSR from moving units if the distance was too great. - China should now guard its border with Japan - If an AI is getting hard pressed at home, it will now attempt to recall any overseas units. - The Garrison AI should no longer hog more than 20% of all divisions in an area with a front in it. - Overseas peace-time garrisons no longer have an upper cap of 8 divisions. - Japan will now attempt to shift about 35 divisions to the mainland even at peace. - The UK should now garrison Africa, Gibraltar and India better. - Germany should now try to build up troops in Eastern Prussia prior to the invasion of Poland. - Tweaked the garrison AI priority calculations to increase efficiency. - AI is now more likely to use exp. forces as garrison troops. - Removed an unintentional cheat from the garrison AI. Will perhaps lessen its ability to separate troop types a bit.

** FRONT AI - AI Units will now attack even if there are retreating enemy units present in the attacking province. - Fronts should now "refresh" at times, in order to split fronts that share the same owner area, but are not connected. - Tweaked the urgent requests fronts make for fresh divisions again. - Front AI is now allowed to be more reckless in attacks against encircling enemy provinces. - Fixed a bug with fronts going to sleep near attrition provinces. - Sinkiang and Communist China are now fully aggressive (Front AI is no longer pacifist). - Another fix to prevent mega-reinforcements. Now each side should be reluctant to reinforce if there are already 30 or more friendly divisions present. - Front AI will now also withdraw units if their average organization is below 10 (attacking) or 5 (defending). - Fronts should now tend to get mechanized inf and armoured units - the Garrison AI should tend to get other unit types. - Tweaked Front AI reserve handling. Reserve rotation should now work better. - Front AI performance slightly improved (spearhead detection). - AI Attrition checks added when AI wants to move troops between fronts. Should decrease "Saharan Death March Syndrome". - Decreased AI respect for militia a bit more. - Tweaked front behavior slightly regarding "corridors" and "spearheads". - AI will now be a bit more intelligent about retreats, avoiding high attrition provinces and out-of-supply areas. (But it will still always prefer the province it came from.) - Tweaked the accursed "urgent requests" that fronts make for more troops yet again. (ping-pong effect problems)
