A glance at HoI3

[Berkut]

Hm.  When prioritizing a unit for upgrade, repair, and reinforcement (the green star), am I able to simply click on an HQ to have that "bonus" apply to all the units under it's command, or do I have to go through to each individual division and prioritize them?

   Thanks Berk.

Maybe I'm stupid, but I can't figure out how to stop or influence the converting of energy into fuel. The manual and the strategy guide both say that it is much more efficient to convert oil to fuel or even buy fuel from somebody else, but I can't find any possibility to change the converting process. Or do I just have to import more crude oil so that the balance will shift automatically?

Anybody knows the answer?

I don't think there is anything you can do to shut it off, unfortunately.

Can anyone e-mail me the strategy guide?

I only have the demo and will buy the game later.

No, pirate, no.

I must admit that Paradox site is a hoot just now.

Firstly, I still play Victoria, HOI2, and EU2, LOVE 'em.  They all took about a year from release to get to peak, but Paradox stood firm in their support and work. 

So they get all these 14 year olds that are all like: OMG#$$#%$#@!# the diplomacy DOESN'T WERK!!!! USA, teh SWISS, and Holland all join the allies in 1937!!1!!   Then we find out the player (Chermany) has gone on a conquest campaign all of 1936 and 7.    Yeah, playing Grabby McGrab will drive the rest of the world into the allied alliance, duh.

Then we have people who are all like OMG!!^&%&^$%$Z!! when eye playz teh fast it's takes 9 seconds for a day.    I'm like yeah, well I play HOI2 on above average and it probably takes 8 seconds for a day.  Big deal.


That said there does seem to be big issues, I'm sure P'Dox will solve them.

I'd buy the game today, but I'm pretty sure it would burn my CPU  , and I'm looking for a new PC so I'll surely purchase HOI3 right after.

Habs - you should pick up EU3.  It's matured wonderfully.

[Habsburg]

Beeb, will I miss all the historic events with EU3?? 

[garbon]

Or not and wait for the eu2 "fan-made" update that will most certainly not tax people's systems.

[Barrister]

I don't think so.  There's a variety of missions and events that have a good sense of history, without having the straight-jacket feel of some EU2 events.

Cool.  Maybe I'll grab it while waiting for my PC upgrade/on to HOI3.

Double check that your graphics card can handle Pixel Shader 2.0.  Any card from the last few years should be no problem, but if you're attempting to run from integrated graphics you could have a problem.

We should get another EU2 MP game one of these days.

That is a big deal.
Its not as bad as it is with EU3 (Where you're supposed to be covering centuries of time...) but still quite crappily slow when you're not in a war.
