Is there a way you can go back to the old versions of the armies fighting. The old way was so much better because I could see when my troops were attacking and when the enemies were attacking. Now it is just a red line that makes it hard to strategize in my attacks
im tryna timelapse pls help
Just Play as Cuba so you wont be bothered, switch to the time-lapse Army map mode, then record and you're good.
I think you spelt 'canal' wrong in the tutorial
Can you make this asome game free
.
It is free, donations are optional.
but its free..
is there a way you can port this to a website for chromebooks so I can play this at school lol. Im addicted and it is around the end of the school year so yeah.
Nah little bro, get your grind on for exams.
why did the netherlands start off with that many troops?
Can u pls make this game playable on mobile too plss i wanna play so bad but i cant🙏🙏
Winlator
?
There are some bugs, I wanted to Invite other countries to my Faction so I could destroy the Axis, but It crashed. As seen in the picture below, it says the key error is Comintern... I killed the Comintern already. Could it be because I killed so much?
Is there a way to edit the code of the game, I tried but I couldn't do it
No it's a compiled python game, unless you wanna france around with pyc you can't
sometimes when i take all the major cities of a country it doesn't bring me to the diplomacy screen or whatever it is called and only says that said country has capitulated. Why is this?
I have a few answers. First is, are you at a war with another country, and second is, did you fight a civil war? Both of these can cause the game to bug, and think you're still at war with that country even if they capitulate. There's unfortunately no way to reverse this (Except maybe blowing up the entire earth) So what I just do is save after every major decision so I can just reload if it bugs. I hope this helped :D
because you're at a war with another contry or multiple when you finished all of you're war it will give you the diplomacy
When Is it gonna be mobile compatible
Never, winlator
i love our great leader Joseph Stalin
Me to comrade
This game is shit. Like...I'm sorry, but it's impossible to conquer a country because some random ass anarchist state keeps taking over, even when i play as Germany with historical ai mode. Anarchist state in Germany? Wow, super historical...also, conquered countries just keep reappearing and stealing my land (especially Belgium). Also, alliences literally don't do anything. Also, I love how the enemy troops can just teleport to anywhere they want, but mine can't. This is seriously the worst game I've ever played.
game isnt meant to be historical at all, some countries have overseas territories, alliances (or alliences as you say) let you call allies to war, and enemy troops dont teleport at all. dont go and hate on games if you dont even know how to play them in the first place.
There is no historical mode?
there are historical maps
why... it did it again saying "Failed to execute script 'main' due to unhandled exception: min()arg is an empty sequence" and a bunch of other random stuff that I cannot process.
i dont like this game, its too hard, even if i play on the best countries i fall whenever i have a war. can you make a difficulty thingy? please?
I know
skill issue
father issue
Bro, I can annex a country and do as a puppet so easily, you are bad
you are sorta right. i had afghanistan conquer me in 4 months while i played as china lol
It is incredibly fun but it keeps crashing to random lines of code and the fact that if you win a war against a country you cant take what you want you have to take over all of it is a bit annoying but cool game
This is one of the best strategy games I've ever played. The only thing missing is more scenarios.
I get a lot errors when I play the game, please update and fix the bugs!. by the way I also used pygame... so I might able to help you.
Is Sosand preparing a massive update or something? He hasn't updated the mod for more than one month.
Small question, how do you dissolve the United Kingdom? I notice that you can only do that when Scotland declares independence; otherwise, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to initiate it.
Please add back the old political trees from the old Spirits of Steel
So I hope you read this and this game is getting updated,
I looked into the files a bit and found out that faction wars aren't deleted after they end and are just emptied of members. This probably causes all the errors late-game. Maybe add an opportunity to mod the game and make the files actually readable.
Quick Question, how did you actually get the code into a viewable format? Best I can get is like 60% of it.
Yeah how does he?
Bro, why :(
UPDATE THIS SHIT
AGAIN?
NAH BRO THIS GAME IS BAD
whats wrong wiih this game?
Bro Calm Down I am too
Sorry brazilian
Bro, I was Monarchist China, but this erro apears. Bro, I was with aliance and with 23 members monarcs.
i am actally brazilian how did you figure that out i see also just don't hate on him he working hard on the game
Bom, respondendo sua pergunta, eu sou brasileiro também, e realmente, estou sendo bem desumilde com o cara, realmente deve demorar bastante para atualizar o jogo. I'm sorry for talking shit, I don't even know why I said that and honestly I was pretty stressed that day
any updates in the last month?
hasnt been an update in 3 months
:(
i think they should re work on the peace treaties it just gives you reigions
try it like age of history 2 thou also find a way to new country like maps
yeah they are doing that
yea
I finally got to play it, but something weird happened. I was India, and there was a world war and while I was deciding the treaty, it somehow glitched and switched me to the Great Lakes nation. How did this happen?
Nvm, I realized I accidentally clicked on the "Play as" button, but why is that even a thing?
The "Play as" button exists so it is possible to play as sub nations (Greenland, New Caledonia, California, etc) which do not exist at the start of the game.
HOW DO I DOWNLOAD THIS GAME
I couldn't either, but I tried temporarily uninstalling my antivirus, so if you try that it might work for you.
Got it!
Hey GavGrub
Hey GavGrub when are you going to update your game?
I have been waiting
ngl they should add peace treaties
they did its just a bit good
Can you add air division, ground division, naval division and armed vehicle divisions?
add peace treties
idk if this possible but can u get this on steam ?
love it
hey, GavGrub i know this is a LOT of work, but can you add different focus trees if not, mod support?
Uh hi, i played it multiple times and it wont save, is it like an bug or what?
Once you hit new save, it should give you a save name option. You have to name the save for the save to work.
you need to click the empty space that would normally be where the name would go and then start typing a name for it
found a bug when you win a war it skips the choices you can make like install government or join faction and instead goes straight to finalize deal when you didnt get to pick any choice
the game says it failed to execute script 'main' due to an exception; element not found. How do I fix it?
How does one escape off a Caribbean island with a single tile that happens to be a city tile? I got a division stuck on one
you cant, but prob gonna be fixed in next upd
build a port there
you cant escape its an island city tile so no ports can be built. make sure to avoid taking those
you can delete cities
i also had this problem but i fixed it with stopping time before saving
Question: How do I win a Civil War? I keep dying because the enemy side has more troops than me. I try my best to get loyalty on my side, but doesn't work out in the end. How do I do it?
Try maxing out your recruitable population and securing defendable parts of your country (islands, mountains, etc). They are difficult, but you can avoid them by keeping your stability high and changing ideologies before changing your government.
hey when the new update gonna come
Thanks for the tip! I'll try this out when I get into a Civil War.
its best to avoid those as much as possible so always keep approval above 50 no matter what. I won a civil war by retaking all my land but i found a bug where im permanently in a civil war even when the other side has 0 land, the music kept playing like when your at war
Okay I will keep that tip in mind too; thanks!
whens the new update going to come
