– Mods that change the infantry tech tree. – Map layout, though mods that simply add new states or rename states might be fine. The Resource War will be incompatible with mods that impact the following: Additionally, feedback on balance or any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Please report any bugs or issues to this page, and I’ll see what I can do. For now, I suggest buffing the Axis a bit if you want a challenging Allied/Comintern game, which can be done using the little gear icon in the bottom-right of a game setup. – Axis-Allies balance has been thrown off a little and needs some tweaking. A division will disappear if it completely runs out of food or ammo, so keep an eye on the orange bar! – Divisions get ground into nonexistence quite frequently due to the new essential equipment types, and the fact that the AI isn’t good at keeping their units stocked.
This mod still has as few problems that you’ll want to consider when setting up your game:
– Made convoys more expensive to produce. – Buffed submarine speed, allowing for more raids per month. – Lost trade-route efficiency now takes much longer to recover after a convoy raid, making submarines more effective. Shortages also completely reduce the effectiveness of a division: a gun is useless without bullets. These equipments have a low reliability rating, meaning that they tend to get used up quickly in combat. – New consumable equipments: Rations, Gasoline, Light Munitions, Heavy Munitions, and Anti-Tank Munitions. These have been carefully balanced so that shortages are inevitable, with Germany and Britain being especially vulnerable.
This mod aims to bring that urgency and decisive nature of resource shortages to Hearts of Iron IV. Oil both started and ended the war for many of the more confined powers it instigated Case Blue, the Allied bombing campaigns, and Japan’s strike at the U.S. Copper shortages were only narrowly avoided – the Soviets demanded copper-rich territories from Finland to help resolve their ammunition shortage, and Swedish copper was one reason for Germany’s invasion of Denmark and Norway. Britain’s blockade on Germany motivated their gambit to seize the Ukraine, while German convoy raids brought the British to their knees. Historically, World War II was a war of economics.
