Why can't I build heavy cruisers? HOI2DD

[jimmy olsen]

I threw together a United Commonwealth by editing a Canadian Jan 1st '36 save game for an AAR I plan on doing at Pdox and everything is working perfectly except for one thing, I can't build heavy cruisers and I can't understand why.

I've got the tech


The code for heavy cruisers looks the same as for light cruisers.

        battleship = { 1 0 }
        light_cruiser = { 2 1 0 }
        heavy_cruiser = { 2 1 0 }
        battlecruiser = { 1 0 }
        destroyer = { 2 0 1 }
        carrier = { 2 1 0 }
        escort_carrier = { 0 }
        submarine = { 0 }
        nuclear_submarine = { 0 }
        transport = { 0 }

But I can't build them.

Posting a link to the save would be useful.

I don't know, why can you?

Bitch

Next time, put the freaking game name in the fucking title.

I'll see if I can attach it to gmail file.

Fixed.

Perhaps you should proofread what you write.

Operator error.

While I assume I made some kind of mistake somewhere, but that doesn't really help me unless I know what it is.

Take a look at the "allowed_divisions" section of the file.  Here's England:

    allowed_divisions = {
        infantry = yes
        cavalry = yes
        light_armor = yes
        armor = yes
        marine = yes
        bergsjaeger = yes
        garrison = yes
        hq = yes
        militia = yes
        interceptor = yes
        strategic_bomber = yes
        tactical_bomber = yes
        transport_plane = yes
        battleship = yes
        light_cruiser = yes
        heavy_cruiser = yes
        battlecruiser = yes
        destroyer = yes
        carrier = yes
        escort_carrier = yes
        submarine = yes
        transport = yes
        }

And here's Canada:

allowed_divisions = {
        infantry = yes
        cavalry = yes
        light_armor = yes
        armor = yes
        garrison = yes
        hq = yes
        militia = yes
        interceptor = yes
        tactical_bomber = yes
        battleship = yes
        light_cruiser = yes
        destroyer = yes
        carrier = yes
        submarine = yes
        transport = yes
        }

adding a "heavy_cruiser = yes" line should fix it.  You will end up needing to do the same for the other types of units at some point.

Shouldn't the computer automatically do that though once I've researched the technology?

Shouldn't the computer automatically do that though once I've researched the technology?

I think that's the difference between 'activate_unit_type' and 'new_model'.  The first one I think only fires for the baseline tech, and I'm assuming you started with great war heavy cruiser tech.  After that, new techs are just giving you new models of a type you aren't allowed to build.

No.  As with all Paradox games, you are required to edit the source code.
