this is it (germany 1936)

Does anyone know how shock troops compare with mountaineers? And also what the best template for shock troops is?

So im playing as the Soviets. Doing a default playthrough but i have a feeling that the german AI is stronger. Ive done few playthroughs with the soviets but ive never saw so many division on my border. I think there were at lest 250 just on my border and probably more. I gethered intel on them through my spies and they had 750 divisions in the field. Is the AI in Road to 56 stronger??

I noticed in my games that AI doesn't seem to build resource mills since I always find them in heavy resource deficits. Is there a mod that makes them build it when they are low on resources? Right now it just makes the late game unbalanced imo.

Yunnan-specific issues:

• 3 divs that start with no XP and an 8-width infantry template (your only non-colonial neighbor that is about as weak army-wise is Tibet, good luck fighting anyone in China proper)
• landlocked with no air force
• 2 research slots (you can get to 3 within 140 days if you rush) and start with no research whatsoever outside of basic guns and uniforms plus the Special Research Division if it's on (the only worse country I can find is the Northwest Bandit Suppression HQ with only the basic guns, and they have 3 research slots)
• 1 mil / 3 civs, of which 2 are usable, and 40% infrastructure in both of your states
• in base RT56, the only resource you have is 3 tungsten (if you have the RT56 Expanded submod, you have a good chunk of resources)
• your only supply hub is your capital hub and your only railroad goes into French Indochina, meaning that supply will be a struggle

Generic warlord national spirits:

• ROC eats 10% of your industry
• massive industry and political power nerfs in exchange for at least having less consumer goods,
• reduced org, recovery rate, entrenchment and massive attack and defense nerfs when fighting ROC
• halved army xp gain and increased doctrine cost, -10% recruitable pop factor, reduced special forces cap, reduced max planning bonus, massively increased fort build time in exchange for training time down and reduced supply/attrition penalties

The only thing you have going for you is manpower (unless you're playing with Expanded where you have resources). Good luck with that Western Insurrection.

(I don't have any of the DLCs after BBA, so it might be slightly worse or better if you have them all.)

Someone seems to have forgotten that the USA's communist branch is actually a democratic socialist branch and thus put in a secret police focus with a description acting like the communist USA is totalitarian.

I've noticed that R56 hasn't yet updated the naval tech support tree to how it is in vanilla, have they forgotten or is there a balance reason?

Hi we are planning to do a R56 multi tonight I'll be the host and I'll have all the dlcs, I heard that we can choose for countries focus trees between vanilla dlc trees and r56 trees do you know from settings which countries R56 focus tree or the vanilla dlc tree is better so I can adjust them beforehand

When playing as Germany with only Road to 56 enabled, some randomly generated ship captains use Queen Wilhelmina’s civilian portrait instead of a German naval officer portrait.

I have only encountered this as Germany. I tested several other major countries and could not reproduce it.

Troubleshooting already done:

• Does not happen in vanilla
• Reproduces with only R56 enabled
• Tested multiple fresh games
• Cleared Steam download cache
• Reinstalled R56
• Still occurs after the latest R56 update

I traced the incorrect portrait to Wilhelmina, but her character definition appears normal and she is not directly assigned to Germany or the ship captain system. This seems more like a compatibility issue with the new TAOG random ship captain portrait pool.

Screenshot attached.

I’ve won as Germany & us, can’t win as Italy or France & haven’t tried UK or Sov. Recently I’ve been experimenting with minors & prefer facist/monarchist non historical play throughs. Took central & South America on a decent Brazil run then got stomped by allies, had one decent Hungary game but uk joined central powers & refused to hand over Jerusalem so I can’t do blessed by pope. Basically I get stomped as a LARGE minor by any major & am wondering if it is lack of skill/game design/both? If lack of skill, what nations to play to get better? SP only regular difficulty

I've not done it in years, mostly because a civil war would always start, and I've never done it in R56 and I know theres a focus path for it but im talking about the SS recruitment feature where you either favour the army or the SS and leads to the assassination of the leader. I was wondering if in R56 theres away to do it without a civil war starting just for the role-play aspect to blame the leader for my failed frontline choices

I want to launch a nuke on Moscou and have 12 bombs in my possession but I can’t seem to be able to launch them

Game crashes when I open the plane designer. It also says that it's impossible to design a plane because of a missing main armament, but that's simply not true. I have all dlcs except last one.

So I was going the German civil war in non-historical and Russia offered the oil before I started mine would I keep the oil after it?

I didn’t put alot into the air forces as I wanted to concentrate in the land warfare until I took Poland but wtf if this France and the uk suddenly decided to make Poland as strong and the is or something and I just can’t make any significant progress from here on, what th do I do mane

I’m playing the route 56 version, and I get this condition, however heeds Von neurachs concerns are nowhere to be found in the skill tree, am I missing something? Do skill tree points just disappear after certain choices? If so why did this one not disappeared if it’s not available

does anyone have any tips to play as china?

I'm playing as Finland and going down the Nordic Union focus tree. However, when I invite countries to join my faction, they refuse. Countries that turn fascist become democratic again afterward.

For some reason the white peace between Romania and the U.S.S.R. given by the Romanian focus 'Royal Coup' in its historical branch destroys any allied governments in exile and any bonuses/boosts that they got from such. As noted above, I've lost all of the factories from the 'Request Allied Favours' decisions and had my conscription, trade, and economy laws set to the highest available (not what they were pre-capitulation).

Edit: changing 'has_war_together_with' in the event file to 'is_in_faction_with' seems to have fixed it.

Having recently completed a stent at Fort Benning one of America's longest standing Military Installations I got the idea for this feature.

Permanent Military Installations would be buildings used to give bounces to units raised in the same tile as the installation such as shorter training time, soft/attack, movement, and environmental bounces based on the environment of the installations location. A version of this for the Air Force and Navy like a Top Gun type school.

Installation management could be handled in the training in a similar manner to research facilities. Enhanced Marksmanship training for soft attack, AT weapons training for hard attack and penetration, small unit tactics for organization, etc.

While playing as DEI with the default focus tree, I encountered this bug. I think it's caused by the fact that in R56, Riau and South Sumatra are combined into a single state, whereas in the base game they are separate states. Because of this, we can't progress to the next focus.

Edit: Oops sorry, I meant Bangka Belitung and South Sumatra

So I was randomly messing with the rt56 mod, and I set Georgia to be a kingdom and when I looked at the portrait it was Carol. Anybody know why is this? I find it so cool as a romanian.
