As usual, this has taken the form of Balance changes, Gameplay updates, Stability and Bug Fixes, and more.

And lest we forget, yes, we continue to read your bug reports following the release of No Compromise, No Surrender, and we’... Read more

Full transparency: I have no set schedule for the rest of the year, things usually quiet down. In other words, we'll see how many submissions come in, how many of those pass review (not too stringent) and based on the amount we'll do several posts and/or update existing ones to add the occasional latecomer.

General note to those submitting: when we ask for a link to an image that represents your mod make sure to use an internet link (Steam Workshop, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) and not a local one. We can't access file:///d:/... and we don't want to

Fixed it above, at least. The Patch Note, not your brain.

We hear your feedback. Here is Update 1.17.0.1 "Musketeer", to bring some most urgent frontline updates and fixes.

Feature
Added an 'immobile' cohesion setting, which turns off all automatic relocation for units attached to a battleplan. Planning speed is halved while using this setting. Shift+D hotkey will now open the cohesion menu in the battleplanning UI. (Arheo worked all night to get this in!)

Bugfixes

• Fixed issue where Naval HQ window could not be scrolled with mouse wheel
• Fixed a bug where the Naval HQ naval leader window would not update when you add a new admiral
• Fixed crash when switching to the 1939 scenario after loading a save
• Fixed a bug where, without "No Compromise, No Surrender", Tannu Tuva had great ambition and was not afraid to show it
• Fixed a bug where, without "No Compromise, No Surrend...

There will be a video  

Generals!

Tomorrow we will be bringing you a brand new briefing. Here are some snippets:

We will start today off by discussing the path most similar to what you have already seen, namely the Kodoha branch. Previously, this branch allowed only for the execution of a strike north doctrine, and a non-aligned Japan with the emperor at the top. This isn’t ..
...however the army takes much more of a front seat compared to the navy, so you will have to work harder if you want to make a Strike South approach....
...where Keisuke Okada speaks out against the military’s growing power over the government...
...military, the Prime Minister will repeal the Peace Preservation Law, which was put in power ...

Report back tomorrow for all the information, and the opportunity to ask all your questions.

Tomorrow we will be bringing you a brand new briefing: Historical Japan. Here is one of the snippets of what's coming:

Sneak peek #6/6: ...Japan probably had the best carrier air wings at the beginning of the game, but also suffered immensely later on when they started to lose pilots at a rapid pace because their training was so rigorous. This meant that they couldn’t replenish their losses fast enough, but had to use untrained pilots.
