GSv2.01.25 - September 8, 2011
88. Added to a fix to a null pointer exception that would under certain conditions cause the game to hang.
89. Allied units can’t enter, unload, advance or retreat into core Russian hexes unless Russia has surrendered.
90. A ground unit can’t attack if it ends it move adjacent to a previously unspotted unit.
91. Made the following tweaks to Northern Europe weather
a. NORTH_MUD_CHANCE_NOVEMBER 40
b. NORTH_WINTER_CHANCE_NOVEMBER 50
c. Mud is reduced from 50 to 40 to give a 10% chance for fair weather
d. Severe winter chance in November
i. SEVERE_WINTER_CHANCE_NOVEMBER 10 /* Percentage change the Russian severe winter will start in November if it didn't start earlier */
ii. Reduced from 25 to 10
e. Severe winter duration
i. /* Variation of severe winter length */
ii. CHANGE_FOR_DURATION 60 /* 0..100. Accumulated chance that length = WINTER_DURATION. % chance = 60 */
iii. CHANCE_FOR_DURATION_MINUS_1 80 /* 0..100. Accumulated chance that length = WINTER_DURATION - 1. % chance = 20 */
iv. CHANCE_FOR_DURATION_MINUS_2 90 /* 0..100. Accumulated chance that length = WINTER_DURATION - 2. % chance = 10 */
v. CHANCE_FOR_DURATION_PLUS_1 100 /* 0..100. Accumulated chance that length = WINTER_DURATION + 1. % chance = 10 */
vi. Reduced from 70 to 60 change for duration. Increased from 15 to 20 for duration -1 and increased from 5 to 10 for duration -2
92. Max Russian Guards reduced a bit for these years:
a. MAX_GUARDS_1941 2 /* Max number of Guards units allowed on the map in 1941 */
b. MAX_GUARDS_1942 7 /* Max number of Guards units allowed on the map in 1942 */
c. MAX_GUARDS_1943 9 /* Max number of Guards units allowed on the map in 1943 */
93. German SS units increased for these years:
a. MAX_SS_1943 5 /* Max number of SS units allowed on the map in 1943 */
b. MAX_SS_1944 8 /* Max number of SS units allowed on the map in 1944 */
c. MAX_SS_1945 10 /* Max number of SS units allowed on the map in 1945 */
94. Reduced UK HG (home guard) requirement from 10 to 8, but will only count units in Britain and not in Canada:
a. UK_HOME_GUARD_UNITS_REQUIRED 8 /* Number of land units needed in core UK territory */
b. Added a UK max morale loss of 5 per UK land unit less than 8 in Britain (including Scapa Flow and Belfast).
c. This max morale loss is reduced by 10 for each of USSR joins allies, USA joins the allies and Italy is neutral or conquered
95. The northern convoy is sent to Halifax as a UK convoy instead of a Russian convoy if London and Liverpool are Axis controlled.
96. Allied naval unit presence in the Atlantic is now required at all times and not only when London is allied controlled as before. So the Allies can’t afford to lose the RN in Sealion and later.
97. Added Manpower loss per point of railcap captured by enemy:
a. /* Manpower % loss per railcap point captured by enemy. 0 = No loss */
i. MANPOWER_LOSS_PER_POINT_GERMANY 10
ii. MANPOWER_LOSS_PER_POINT_ITALY 30
iii. MANPOWER_LOSS_PER_POINT_UK 10
iv. MANPOWER_LOSS_PER_POINT_FRANCE 30
v. MANPOWER_LOSS_PER_POINT_USA 10
vi. MANPOWER_LOSS_PER_POINT_USSR 5
b. You don't lose absolute manpower by losing railcar cities. Instead you lose manpower generation. So the percentage will be the same. E. g. Russia generates about 18 manpower per turn. When Moscow falls they will only generate 14 per turn. So you lose about 4*18 = 76 manpower per year for not having Moscow. That means almost 8 corps units. The manpower pool is manpower already collected and you don't lose that. We could do it, but then it would be disastrous to lose e. g. Moscow. Then with 1600 manpower you lose 20% from losing Moscow and drop to 1280. That means losing 320 immediately and 76 each year. It will drop the percentage from above 75 to almost 50. That's too severe
98. Added the following lab build restrictions.
a. To build the first 3rd lab in a research area you need 3 other research areas with at least 1 lab.
b. To build the second 3rd lab in a research area you need 3 other research areas with at least 2 labs or 4 other research areas with at least 1 lab.
99. Removed some obsolete code in unit.class regarding BB’s with ground attack 1. The code updated it to 2 changed before GS v2.0).
100. Made the following changes to the Axis AI:
a. Axis supplypoints in North Africa increased by 10
b. EXTRA_AXIS_SUPPLY_IN_AFRICA 10 /* AI Axis units increase the supply points in Africa by this value */
c. Extra Axis units in Libya
d. ADD_DAK_IN_LIBYA 1 /* 0 = no spawn. 1 = German armor spawned in Libya near Benghazi */
e. ADD_FIGHTER_IN_LIBYA 1 /* 0 = no spawn. 1 = German fighter spawned in Libya near Benghazi */
f. ADD_TAC_BOMBER_IN_LIBYA 1 /* 0 = no spawn. 1 = German tactical bomber spawned in Libya near Benghazi */
g. EXTRA_GERMAN_CORPS_IN_LIBYA 2 /* 0 = no spawn. Number of units spawn in Libya near Benghazi */
h. UNITS_IN_LIBYA_SPAWN_TURN 28 /* February 22nd 1941 */
i. Extra German units in East Prussia from turn 1
i. ADD_GERMAN_FIGHTER_EAST_PRUSSIA 1 /* 0 = no spawn. 1 = one extra fighter will spawn on turn 1 in East Prussia */
ii. ADD_GERMAN_TAC_BOMBER_EAST_PRUSSIA 1 /* 0 = no spawn. 1 = one extra tac bomber will spawn on turn 1 in East Prussia */
j. Extra German unit near Wilhelmshaven
i. ADD_GERMAN_ARMOUR_WILHELMSHAVEN 1 /* 0 = no spawn. 1 = one extra tac bomber will spawn on turn 1 near Wilhelmshaven */
ii. ARMOUR_WILHELMSHAVEN_SPAWN_TURN 10 /* February 28th 1940 */
k. Extra German units for Barbarossa
i. EXTRA_GERMAN_MECH_BARBAROSSA 2 /* 0 = no spawn. Number of units spawn in Poland when Russia is DoWed */
ii. EXTRA_GERMAN_CORPS_BARBAROSSA 4 /* 0 = no spawn. Number of units spawn in Poland when Russia is DoWed */
iii. EXTRA_GERMAN_ARMOUR_BARBAROSSA 1 /* 0 = no spawn. Number of units spawn in Poland when Russia is DoWed */
iv. EXTRA_GERMAN_TAC_BOMBER_BARBAROSSA 1 /* 0 = no spawn. Number of units spawn in Poland when Russia is DoWed */
v. EXTRA_GERMAN_FIGHTER_BARBAROSSA 1 /* 0 = no spawn. Number of units spawn in Poland when Russia is DoWed */
vi. BARBAROSSA_UNITS_SPAWN_TURN 31 /* April 23rd 1941 */
l. Automatic DoW upon Norway and Denmark with German garrisons in all cities
i. AXIS_AUTOMATIC_DOW_NORWAY_DENMARK 1 /* 0 = no automatic DoW. 1 = Germany will get garrisons in each Norwegian and Danish city in April 1940 */
ii. DOW_NORWAY_DENMARK_TURN 12 /* April 8th 1940 /*
m. Reduced on-map strength for some countries. This will make it easier for the Axis AI to get anywhere with the DoW
i. REDUCED_STRENGTH_DUTCH_FORCES 2 /* Reduced strength of on-map Dutch forces if Axis AI */
ii. REDUCED_STRENGTH_BELGIAN_FORCES 2 /* Reduced strength of on-map Belgian forces if Axis AI */
iii. REDUCED_STRENGTH_POLISH_FORCES 5 /* Reduced strength of on-map Polish forces if Axis AI */
iv. REDUCED_STRENGTH_GREEK_FORCES 4 /* Reduced strength of on-map Greek land forces if Axis AI */
v. REDUCED_STRENGTH_YUGOSLAVIAN_FORCES 4 /* Reduced strength of on-map Yugoslavian forces if Axis AI */

x. REDUCED_STRENGTH_FRENCH_CORPS 3 /* Reduced strength of on-map Russian garrisons if Axis AI */
xi. REDUCED_STRENGTH_FRENCH_MECH 2 /* Reduced strength of on-map Russian garrisons if Axis AI */
n. Fixed an AI bug where it would not DoW USSR early enough. The reason is that we’ve moved the automatic join time by 7 months to May 1942. The AI will increase the chance for DoW the closer the Axis is to the automatic join date. So 7 months was subtracted from the calculations for USSR.
o. Added code so the AI will not DoW a country if the country has non-fair weather. That prevents the AI from fighting in mud
p. Added code to make it impossible for the AI to DoW Denmark and Norway if they get these countries automatically in April 1940.
