Greetings all,

Before we venture into the country content today, I want to take a brief moment to discuss the reactions to last week’s development diary. For those who didn’t follow the situation, it would be fair to say that some of the material we presented elicited strong negative reactions from parts of the community. This is not unusual, in fact I’d go so far as to say that it’s one of the reasons we have dev diaries in the first place. Well intentioned feedback is a good thing. We won’t always agree on what the best directions are for a game, but I think we’ve repeatedly shown that airing content early in dev diaries can be a source of positive change for the content within.

However.

It would also be fair to say that for the last couple of releases, dev diaries have happened much later in the development process than they used to. This makes it harder for us to make certain, more significant changes based on the feedback we get. I am not happy with this... Read more

And Welcome, this week we'll be taking a looking at the Alt History paths for the RAJ, so without further ado..

Forward Bloc If you go down the League Against Gandhist, and proceed down the Forward Bloc plan you will end up with Subhas Chandra Bose as its leader. This is a more militant stance towards the British, with the end goal of leading a war of independence.

The War against the British will start when you complete Give Me Blood And I Will Give You Freedom, and which states join you in the civil war will be determined by how big the resistance is.


The idea is that you are using the resistance system to agitate the local population against British rule, flipping the resistance system on its head. The hi... Read more

Namaste, As-Salamu-Alaykum, Subh bakhair and Sat Sri Akal. Today we will look at the historical and shared military branches for the British Raj. I will use India and the Raj interchangeably to denote the subcontinent, and as always everything is under development and might change. Also a special thanks to avebee and pdx_lily which has provided invaluable help during the development of the Raj.

Historical Context In 1936 the Indian subcontinent was still under British rule and had been, in some form or other, for almost 2 centuries, either during the times of the East India Company, or directly by the crown.

In World War I the Raj fought as part of the British army against the Central Powers and afterwards the independence movement was rapidly picking up steam, no longer content to be ruled from London.

Demands by leaders such as Nehru, Gandhi and Jinnah were met in part by aloofness and part in indignation,... Read more

Hello! And welcome to the last Dev Diary for the DLC Götterdämmerung!

I’m CreamGene and I hope you have had a good time reading previous Diaries and are as excited as we are for the release.

Since I’m here, I would like to share with you some of the art we on HOI have loved to see the most as well as show off some behind-the-scenes… or WIPs of how some of the featur... Read more

Hello everyone, it's again the time to give you a glimpse into the fun stuff we've been doing from the tech side. You know, in addition to implementing the new features. This time around, I (PDXen) got the honour to write the Dev Diary.

I'm gonna start off with some outdated news from the past: Did you know that we did a performance pass on Trial of Allegiance? I honestly hope that you didn't. Being a country pack, we never intended to improve the performance but we did make improvements to counter the influx of data that happens when we add more content.

But I know you don't want to listen to ramblings about the past. So let's get started on what we've done this time. While we've taken time to look at the performance and improve parts of it, we've also added some new generic features that we hope our modders will like.

Performance I'm gonna be brutally honest with you from the start: The performance goal of this DLC was to not decay performanc... Read more
