Bruh the game keeps crashing.
Honestly, make civil wars easier to win because it's litterally impossible to win one for me.
please make a mac version if possible
Why does my country always fall into a civil war when I get a new ideology?
can you add a option to decline a treaty?
could you do pre 20th century
question can we make our own maps like world maps?
It has a lot of bugs but its pretty fun. Sometimes the bug is really annoying though
please make a linux version
great game! fun to ply and a bit difficult if you dont know what your doing.
one thing when you declare war but then the ai takes it (only when the ai is not in your faction) it wont bring you to the surrender tab and your permanently at war
how to increase stability with other than reforms?
Please make a mac version
You can use an app called "Whiskey" to emulate it. It works perfectly for me.
ゲームは素晴らしいです！ありがとう
this game is really fun! although, I would want to give a few suggestions. first, make a system in which you can suggest allies to do something like build a port, build military and etc. Second, Maybe you could add a system to kick allies out. Also, i noticed a bug where if you are already in a map in which you are already in an alliance, you cant expand your faction across borders. Those are my suggestions for now . If you decide to implement this it would be really appreciated!
The game is amazing! There are a few bugs though, notably:
Countries sometimes disappear, turning a weird washed out green colour.
The game sometimes crashes because a country can't spawn, can't join a faction etc.
Other than that, i love this game a lot. I can sometimes play a save for a few days. Wonderful work!
can you play as a ukrain/can you add it?
You can play as ukraine though
Can you handle the game's translations?
I am on a amazon pad fire seven and i want sprits of steel but don't know how and also you should be drew durnils sponser.
Idk how
Totally agree. I learn all the good itch.io games by watching his videos. (this included )
why does my game keep doing this? Is there anyway to fix it?
i have the same problem, did you fix it?
I have the same bug
guys i cant move the troops i click right click on them and nothing happenes
You right click on them then you left click the tile you want them to go, if this doesn't work then either your troops are stuck on an island with no port or theyre stuck in a foreign country after some war or smt
lovely game to spend your time on, but there's some things like when you're changing the location to deploy divisions there is no way to see all the cities available (unless i'm missing something that allows you to scroll down)
i downloaded it but i cant get in the game.
same issue
Also, another thought, why is india's default stability so low, while in the darkest hour, the Reich starts with like 74% stability which makes no sense to me
This game is very fun.
But there is a very annoying bug. When you declare war at a rebellion of another country the war never ends and that war music is now forever playing. And even more annoying is that you can never sign peace treaties because your at "war" with the rebellion.
Please fix it because if your ally is weak you can't help them.
Thank you!
I have had insane frustration with the war mechanics in this game, sometimes i will play india for example, and will get 1.00% military size, so like 500 divisions, and i decide to invade pakistan, who has less troops, and in one case was in a war. i lost...
7/10
Maybe you're just bad at the war mechanics? I play india and invade pakistan and its easy...
But then how is it meant to work bc I just don't get it
I finally figured it out. I never knew that you could send your troops along a line
200/10
How do you save the game? It doesn't give me an option
type in a save name and hit Okay
thank
could you explain how to get the game to run says its a virus
cant save crashes after also encountered a bug where burma invaded laos so i invaded burma but then burma declared war on bangladesh but then burma capitulated to me and made the bangladesh troops stuck in my territory plus i invaded bangladesh but the divison with around 30 power just died after i went to their tile (dont have screenshot)
Maybe u could make it so u can add events in like the settings before u join a game
This game is so cool. But can you add a states choice for peace negotiations.
On some countries there is an option, but some countries are just too small for that, I mean, yeah I agree, but it would probably not be that easy to implement
The game keeps crashing every time and I'm losing all my progress plz fix
yes i need this
How do i invade india or china or usa or russia because they have many troops.
Go for military size in the political decisions, and perhaps try to invade some asian countries with a lot of population perhaps? it of course isnt a easy task though, id probably recommend trying to fight India first as they can only likely join CSTO, or China because if they make a communist alliance, it's only probably laos, northkorea, vietnam and cambodia.
Trying to make a faction is also good since you can cut some slack on some micro, and africa isn't really a competition so you can have some strong contenders like Nigeria or Tanzania
in europe there are alot of easy nation
game needs massive bug fixes,
civil wars never end if the partisans capitulate,
partisans who capitulated can still declare war on you, putting you in endless war state
if any other country declares war on a partisan state which hasn't won a civil war the game will keep you in an endless war state
factions that collapsed can still invite you to a faction, which crashes the game
the game is good very good, but sometimes while playing i get unhandled error in the scripts
It says in the instructions that I have to download it and find the ".zip" file, but when I did download it, there weren't any. Just random stuff like the flags, regions, sound used, etc.
Same issue says main.exe is a virus but he hasnt responded I DO NOT GET IT my smol brain cant figure this stuff out
Send a screenshot if you can.
there was nothing to screenshot just said that and close
The game could benefit from dificutly setttings in my opinion, i feel like its too easy to become a CONTINENTAL EMPIRE and have 1000 divisions.
And on that subject i feel like the army tree is too short and simple. Maybe making the militarism and conscription tree longer and harder to complete (as in more decisions to make ) would be nice.
Maybe add decisions on the tree to reach tanks or cavalry.
And the option to negotiate or try ( even if a random chance of success ) for a peace deal during a war would be cool.
BUT A HISTROICAL MODE WHERE EVENTS TRIGGER AT A REAL ACUURATE TIME AS THEY DID IN THE REAL WORLD WOULD BE SOOO COOL.
Either way we all appreciate this little game and the tricky work you out into it.
Respect
Bro u are so right dude honestly
The extracted main.exe file. Anyone else having the same issue?
Those sites always have a few vendors who flag everything as malicious.
You need to get a lot more flags to be sure its malware.
Even McAffe says that it detected a malicius file and quarantined it. I can't even open it because Windows Defender also stops it because it says it's malicius
same issue
the game is good but i wish that you could help revolutions or help in wars
Really good game, unfortunately it has a lot of bugs especially with alliances
Can someone explain in detail step by step on how to download cause i followed the instructions and it did not work (also i am on windows 11)
