My first mistake was playing this game
good
Yeah, it's good
This game is very badly coded and scripted. The pathfinding is sh!t and the mechanics make no sense or are buggy. Every time I play as the allies/comitern, they always get wrecked by the Axis even though I have historical accuracy turned on. Soviet Union/UK have lost in every campaign I've done, leaving me unable to cope as either as Sweden, Greece and/or any other European nation. The AI is extremely unpredictable and the difficulty is way too hard - even in recruit mode I still get screwed over no matter how much effort I put into it by 50+ divisions meanwhile I have no manpower. This game has been the greatest waste of my time and its a shame because it was a gift from my brother. Not only would I wish for a monetary refund for him, but a chronological refund for me if possible. 34 hours of try-harding and not a single victorious campaign. Screw you Paradox - fix your games.
I have never even thought of so much as touching vanilla.
so complicated, does anyone know if theres any mods to make it more simple?
