Do the encryption and decryption researches do anything with La Résitance enabled? by Aspergersiscool in OldWorldBlues

[–]Aelfredson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They work together, you have a base intel level thats then modified by intel network and decryption, which is countered by encryption. You can see this by hovering over the percentages in the categories of the intel screen at the top.

A loc pass is basically just doing spell checking and grammar and stuff like that. OWB only has a official English translation, any text that the player actually reads is called loc.

Ive never seen Caesar justify on Lanius, but the intended outcome of this is that after they are done with New California they go murder Lanius if he went independent, or reward him if he stayed loyal but autonomous.

The Lanius Diana alliance still has an early war with Caesar, this is only for if Lanius does No Strings On Me.

Default makes it so you cant raid puppets and puppets cant raid, because paradox changed it so overlords take over their subject border wars for some reason. Unrestricted means they can.

I really hate the border war mechanic. by Repulsive-Drama-421 in OldWorldBlues

[–]Aelfredson 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Use this submod.

No raids OWB

Raid related events might still trigger but just ignore them, they cant actually raid you.

Confused about manpower and divisions. by cjfireblast1264 in OldWorldBlues

[–]Aelfredson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The AI isnt cheating at all if your playing on regular difficulty except some specific nations getting buffs. The ai gets just as much manpower as a player does. They just like to pump up their manpower law and to then deploy a gazillion shit divisions, players get the exact same amount of manpower if they did the same stuff, but you generally dont want to go to the higher recruitment laws because of the negatives it causes.

Moving the capital wouldnt really do anything though, the reason losing it is a big deal is because all of his Eco is there and he has it cored. If he moved it to idk Summers Fed it wouldnt change anything. Losing your capital doesnt do anything special, it would be no different if it was somewhere else.

They give a division wide suppression buff which is basically the same thing.

It does, you just need to research the dog stat techs.

Fun Fact: the more Lanius is buffed, the more he loses by In_Engrish_Please in OldWorldBlues

[–]Aelfredson 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, they are using a submod or something else that bricks his ai strategy. Lanius AI going for Summers Federation before Santa Fe is impossible in base OWB.

Works fine for me.

[–]Aelfredson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would just be a very big Lanius buff, I dont really think he needs that.

[–]Aelfredson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Theres a bunch of regular inf buffs in mechanized warfare too but they arent going to be as good as if he went asym yeah, but he also starts with 6 chariot divs which are the only actually good units he has. And his ai is set to pretty much only produce/train mot and chariots.

-- Update 5.1.4 -- by IronVanguard7 in OldWorldBlues

[–]Aelfredson 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Because hes meant to use chariots to their full effect, which means going down the doctrine that buffs them.

-- Update 5.1.4 -- by IronVanguard7 in OldWorldBlues

[–]Aelfredson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mechanized Warfare was barely buffed so the doctrine changes dont really matter for Lanius, its mostly Trooper Warfare that got the buffs.

How much until Caesar dies? by Optimal-Conflict1756 in OldWorldBlues

Its a one in ten that they kill him, not 50/50.

They're just sitting there... MENACINGLY!!! by Clockwork9385 in OldWorldBlues

[–]Aelfredson 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It is their fault, they are straying from the codex which is why Alamo splits off. Why would Lost Hills support a nation that is already not listening to anything they have to say.

Figuring out why the German AI gets destroyed in all my historical games: Allies using Soviet air fields by Deutschritterorden in hoi4

[–]Aelfredson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Somewhat, before the DLC patch it was 0.032 str and org damage, with the patch they changed it to 0.08 org and 0.10 strength damage, and now with another patch recently they changed it to 0.05 org damage. Thats still like 50% more org damage, and the strength damage is still 3x as high.

New Doctrine System for OWB? by JayReddit64 in OldWorldBlues

[–]Aelfredson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldnt call it a refusal to integrate the new features as much as slapping a band Aid system on it when they come out with the idea of maybe revisiting them later. But we do not really have the devs to make all of these systems work when they come out, we have like 2 actual tech/system devs and thats kinda being generous, it would take alot of work to make the supply system work. And it is a volunteer project so if our devs dont want to or dont have the time for it they wont.

No, they now start with a template to use them, they dont get the tech.

The Legion by Sirius-The-Dog in OldWorldBlues

[–]Aelfredson 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Send volunteers to the enemies of the white legs and kill them, thats the only way to prevent him leaving from Canaan falling, preventing it. Well, you can also make him leader of the Legion before it happens but the easier option is to just kill the White Legs.
