Potzblitz V26.01 OCT 26th 2025

[Robotron]

The problem appeared on the main French front however, where I managed to go along the Belgian border to the north of Verdun. By Spring 1915 I was going around Reims from the north, and then on to Paris, where there were only 2 miserable garrison units. Oops. All the while an active French corps was looking at me from Lille doing nothing, not to mention all the other units in the Lorraine and Provence fronts. We're not talking blitzkrieg here, but crawling around the left of the French line over a course of months to an empty capital.

So I assume Belgium was still neutral, correct? Also this was from the Schlieffen-Moltke-scenario, right? In any case the AI stuff I added did not foresee the possibility of Italy joining CP.
Will be fixed in the next update.

Yes, sorry I should have mentioned. Correct: M-S scenario, Italy CP, Germany sent troops East to respond to early Russian attack, Belgium neutral. Britain in fact stayed out until the turn I seized Paris (Turn 20).

I've made a few multiplayer games. Anyone want to join?

Well look at that, a true veteran stops by.

I started a "normal" (i.e. no 1914 CP Italy) CP run to test the Romania CP possibility and its impact. I seem to remember that you stated that the King's death event was connected (or was going to be connected?) with Austrian performance on the Serbian (or both?) fronts. Is that the case with 26.01 and what are the triggers? I am asking because the Austrians started especially well in this run (the Germany Redeploys event helped take the pressure off in Poland) taking Belgrade, Cer and Kraljevo by Turn 6... and King Carol still keeled over.

[Robotron]

No, in singleplayer mode vs Entente AI the Austrian performance has no effect on the chance of the king dying. However in singleplayer vs CP AI a Serbian invasion of Austria can lead to Romania joining CP, discarding the death of the king event.

btw. ai is very likely unable to success in events austrian ultimatum to serbia and germany demands right to passage - i did many tries, it always failed

[Robotron]

(...)

[nehi]

raised chances for ultimata played by AI to succeed.

austrian ultimatum works, german looks like not... i had to set zero instead of luck

its the most scary scenario as entente, passage through belgium and not relocate french units

btw. crisis in galicia should be activated repeatedly? in some conditions it happens many times until austria surrenders, which is the fastest way to win as entente (much faster than without it)

This fix addresses the mentioned issues.

@all: use it!
