Hearts of Iron 3

Originally posted by Temujin what i mean for example is that Nassau in the GC of victoria is in the wrogn province, and paradox has never fixed that nor bothered (though, the victoria expansion never got a patch anyways and never will i guess). I don't mean stuff like "this and that is not as it was historically", i mean obvious errors that exist as result of a bug/ommission. for example where is Aurengzeb in eu3??

Both are bugs.  I don't think anyone has reported the Nassau bug in Victoria; I guess no one cared enough to report it to them.  But cities are several times in the "wrong" province--the city is not in the province that bears the same name.  Oh, and Victoria:Revolutions did get a patch, 2.01.

The latter omission is quite surprising.  Astonishing, actually.  The dates were copied directly from EU2's monarch files, but someone (actually, those files were converted automatically, which is why the error is so weird) copied over Shah Jahan's death date as his start date instead of his actual start date.

1605.10.26 = {     monarch = {         name = "Jahângîr"         dip = 6         adm = 4         mil = 6     } } 1657.9.1 = {     monarch = {         name = "Aurangzîb"         dip = 7         adm = 8         mil = 8     } } 1657.9.2 = {     monarch = {         name = "Shâh Jehân"         dip = 5         adm = 7         mil = 4     } }

I am very surprised that such a significant bug has not been logged.  I just went ahead and logged it; maybe it will make it into 3.1 since it is so easy to fix.

I must say, that I am really anticipating HOI 3 now, because today I got and played HOI 2 doomsday for a while. Was actually surprised how deep is that game, especially on military issues. Can't really compare with EUIII, which to me seems to be kind of blank now. Of course whole gameplay in HOI is geared for WWII, but fighting wars is one of the most "fun" parts in paradox gaming. EUIII misses this point completely - not only the research is completely ridiculous (land tech values going up from 7 to 8 etc whole game - only adding morale which is illogical) but also the whole unit representation - you can only recruit one type of cavalry and one type of infantry each 1000 strong - artilery too 1000 !! strong. Such interesting wars like Napoleonic would surely benefit for separate game like HOI with all those researh and doctrine options instead EUIII setting.

Yeah, btw today the latest version of largest mod (Magna Mundi) for EUIII (IN) will be released. That will make it way more playable.

i already downloaded Magna Mundi but honestly i expected a little more. they added Hamburg (previously the province called Hamburg was more like Holstein) as well as Nuremberg and Frankfurt which is a good thing, but they haven't changed the inaccurate vanilla setup for the general Franconia area including Hessia and Franconia proper as well as the resulting changes involving Bavaria and Saxony. the general area of India as far as i can see is now even more inaccurate than in the vanilla version. only real and significant improvement was with Japan, which i'm not really interested in. oh and they also adopted the inaccurate placement of the Nogai Khanate and Central Asia in general, oh well i could go on for some time i guess.... :P

sounds interesting... but they still need to change that you can only have one type of infantry/cavalry etc at the same time. i guess we have to live with the crappy techtree that doesn't do much
