there is a bug that keeps you in "war mode" even when the enemy has been defeated and if it isn't a bug then I would like a feature where you can see all the countries you're at war with and their location

id like if the manpower numbers were more realistic for the ai, i owned the entirety of the united states and was bested by cuba, because somehow they spawned 2000 garrisons

Could you make it so the enemy ai can naval invade and make differebt gamemodes f.e easy,normal and hard thank you in advance

I declared war on Danzig as the German Reich and they pulled about 2763 divisions out of their ass and I lost in less than a week.

beefy die reference

I was wondering which font you used in the Icon  

The font for the header is stencil and the subtext is times new roman.

Was having fun. Started with a realllllly small country with like 12 troops. Started doing the "decision tree" thing, along with getting military access of many. Then attacked other small countries not in a faction. Grew land, military, factories, ports, etc. Started a faction, invited manu countries. Took the entirety of middle east. Then as I was about to capture the entirety of China and East African Subcontinent the game crashed - not once but twice. First time it crashed I was almost about to capture the two areas. Second time it was just 2 mins in the attack. Bruh. Apart from this, it's good.

Please add in Red Dusk

appple support pls

could you make peace treaties more precise with vassal states and certain provinces that are annexed

作者能不能尽快添加别的语言?

A bug, for some reason, whenever I play from my saves after reopening the game, I get unhandled exception errors, please fix that

(1 edit)

Yep, just click "No thanks, just take me to the downloads" when you click on Download Now.

i already downloaded it for free, why is almost everything missing, the maps, the placing ports and stuff, like wth?

have you tried clicking 'main' then extract all?

yep!

Can you make ai stronger

Игре не хватает  дипломатии а также влияние экономики  очень  маленькое  

Она почти бесполезна также баланс 

Когда персия может спокойно захватить османскую империю это мощьно или какая небудь мелкая республика уничтожает 30 дивизий 

Добавте пожалуйста перевод на другие языки спасибо буду ждать обновления

( добавьте встроенный редактор карт )

can it be supported on mac please because i want to play but i cant

Wine

i want to make a timelapse i need help

Click play without picking a nation

buen juego, en general muy bueno entretenido de petición poder mejorar el aumento de población con otros aspectos mas que con conquistar territorio, meter mas opciones de diplomacia tratados de no agresión, de comercio, bloqueos económicos, para un futuro esta bueno en este estado inicial lo recomiendo 

how do you play like what do you need to do to get on the game?

Download the game and follow the instructions.

hey GavGrub i want to ask you an question

why is india and  china hard coded to conscript every man woman and baby

i cant play

I got the same error on the other version

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.

(+1)

Or you can... Not pick a country and just start

I think you spelt 'canal' wrong in the tutorial

(-3)

Can you make this asome game free

(+4)

(+4)

Google is your friend

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?

The countries I killed
KeyError`Comintern`

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

(+3)

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?

(+3)

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.

(-1)

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?

(-1)

there are historical maps

(+2)(-1)

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.

(+3)(-5)

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?

(+1)(-5)

I know

(+8)(-2)

skill issue

father issue

(+2)

Bro, I can annex a country and do as a puppet so easily, you are bad

(+1)(-1)

you are sorta right. i had afghanistan conquer me in 4 months while i played as china lol 

(+1)

the exact same thing happened to me fr

(+6)

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

(1 edit) (+4)

This is one of the best strategy games I've ever played. The only thing missing is more scenarios.

(+3)(-2)

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.

(+2)(-1)

Is Sosand preparing a massive update or something? He hasn't updated the mod for more than one month.

(+1)(-3)

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.
