PSA MD v2.0.3 - Stable + BETA content update.

73 Upvotes

Happy update day!

Two releases today. Stable is now on v2.0.3 which is just v1.19.4 compatibility, and our work-in-progress main branch moves to BETA (v2.0.x). Because of the changes in Hearts of Iron IV, we strongly recommend starting a new save. Paradox added a lot of automation and quality-of-life features that we want to take advantage of. Please update to the latest build on whichever branch you play.

On the AI: We understand the frustration and the desire for more with the game, but please be patient with us. The last year went into performance, stability, and general polish after the foundational rewrite we completed with 2.0. We are now shifting gears into more forward looking work such as AI, performance, content. It is a balancing act, and we are a small volunteer team. We are expecting at least one more BETA update before EOY. This BETA patch brings improvements to general economic handling, fixes to economic content, and some smaller AI improvements. Full details are in the changelog: https://millenniumdawn.github.io/Millennium-Dawn/misc/beta-changelogs/.

Expected Checksum Stable: a82c

Expected Checksum Beta: 132c

Thanks for playing, and thanks to everyone who keeps filing reports, issues, and suggestions.

MD v2.0.2 - BETA and Main Update

Thumbnail
millenniumdawn.github.io
45 Upvotes

v2.0.2 is out now for everyone on the BETA and on stable.

Checksum: ccc6

Notable Changes:
- Rebalance inflation so it's easier to maintain and fixed a couple small bugs causing big problems
- Faction caching *should* be working as expected now

SAVE GAMES ARE COMPATIBLE

Save games are compatible, however, we strongly recommend a new one. The inflation values will be more stable and trend down in an existing save, but would be better setup from the start of the game. We are going to work on balancing this more and introducing more ways to stabilize inflation and intertwine them more with other systems for mitigation.

Suggestion Saddams Iraq Pre Invasion

• Upvotes

I have a question and don’t know if I’m going crazy but does Saddams army get moved automatically inland when the coalition declares war? I’m trying to defeat the invasion but it feels like an unfair disadvantage by the computer? Can we change that?

Media Germany, 2007: "Good thing we're done with it." Poland, 2025:

Post image
170 Upvotes

Remember when Germany paid 10 billion euros to settle the entire Second World War and clicked "Good thing we're done with it"? Cute. Same Poland run in Millennium Dawn, now 2025. The Commonwealth goes from the Atlantic to the Urals, Austria, Romania and Egypt fight for us now, and India is a puppet. We also landed on the Moon, but nobody asked.

I declared on NATO and surrounded Germany on every border so it would sit this one out like a good boy. It did. For about ten minutes. Then Ireland, of all countries, dragged them in through a separate war.

So Warsaw sent the late fees. Four nuclear strikes. 403 casualties in combat, 87.3K "unknown", three divisions left. The game refused to say what happened to the rest, which is the most German thing about this whole war.
Euros were the down payment. The interest was always going to be paid in uranium.

Question What happens if I do not pay my debt?

14 Upvotes

I am playing italy, which starts with a fairly high debt, I have no idea on how to fix the economy and as a result my debt increased. a lot. like ten times more. With a 20% interest rate. How urgent is it for me to pay it back? And especially how am I even supposed to pay it back? I also generated too much world tension (I took libia, tunisia and the horn of africa) to ask other countries for help so I am a bit stuck. Do i have to restart or can I live with the debt and slowly pay it back?

PS. I forgot to mention I am actively loosing money, hundreds of billions of euros every week.

Issue Formed the USoE as Germany and got annexed into France?

6 Upvotes

Was playing as Western Outlook Germany, with the Largest economy in Europe with the second largest army and the largest Navy, having also integrated Poland and Czechia. I was heavily engaged with the EU mechanics and launched the proposal to Federalize Europe and form the USoE, only for my game to end with France annexing me and the rest of the EU. What gives?

Media South Korea: “Let’s sign a trade agreement.” Me, who bought everything they made until they embargoed me:

Post image
106 Upvotes

Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth run in Millennium Dawn, 2025. Years ago South Korea refused to be friends and embargoed me, even though I had been buying everything they made, Samsung included. Then they came back asking for a trade agreement like nothing happened.

So I declared war just for the lols, planning to hand the whole peninsula to North Korea, now run by a military junta. Six naval landings failed to take a single tile thanks to elite divisions, forts and 23 American divisions. Three full nuclear strikes later: 313 casualties caused by my army, 570 thousand by “Unknown”. Korea went from the 4th largest army in the world to 5 divisions, right below Burundi, and lasted three days. At the peace conference I liberated North Korea with every state, and world tension even dropped 38%.

North Korea now calls me “Our Liberators”, but still takes -10 because I banned communist symbols.

North Korea is best Korea.

Issue Monarchist Swiz and Austria aint using there Troops in the Civil War

2 Upvotes

I just played Germany but Chose the way of the "Kaiserreich", but when it came to make swiz and Austria my puppets a civil war broke out in them. My puppets then just used maybe 1 or 2 troops of theyre entire army, so of course they did lose the war. I wasnt apple to send my own troops into the fight so i didnt have any chance to Influence the Outcome.
Hope its getting fixed sone

Media Just had the most strange game

6 Upvotes

Playing as eng, went monarchist, turned out that for some reason the ai not only formed the Swedish empire they also formed the roman empire plus golden dawn took power in Greece

For some reason I ended up helping them in their wae against turkey and the rest of the nordic countries,

Microing 2 doom divisions of tanks and proceeded to roll turkeys absolutely horrendous units even though they had a good 100 of them, usa joined in the fight (I only send volunteers)

Turkey was a pain due to the sheer amount of divs they had lol

Usa was fighting the nordic countries including Finland with the swedes and didnt really send anything down to the med until later

Had to do some nast micro so I could get encirclements and surprisingly the Greeks even though they were few in number too very much Ed helped against the turks just as line holders allowing my 2 divs of insanely strong tonks to wipe the floor with their army from encirlcements

2011 and countries are barely recruiting units however

Media Russia: "We are a peaceful liberal democracy." Also Russia:

Post image
195 Upvotes

Playing as Poland in Millennium Dawn, 2018. Russia went full liberal under Yavlinsky and now guarantees half of Eastern Europe, so every war I plan gets cancelled by a Russian guarantee.
Meanwhile they quietly conquered all of Indonesia, which is why they have 11.8 million manpower and I can't touch them without a navy.

Eleven time zones weren't enough, they wanted beaches.

Question Suggestion: war goal justification should get shorter as the game goes on

Post image
30 Upvotes

Right now the world tension discount on war goal justification caps at -50%, and target spirits like Police State add +90%. So in 2030, with the whole planet at war and tension at 100%, justifying against France still took me 200 days, roughly the same as justifying in a calm 2000 start.
Proposal: a hidden yearly modifier that shortens justification time as the timeline advances. Something like -10% from 2015, -25% from 2020, -40% from 2025 and -50% from 2030. It could apply to everyone, so the AI also gets more aggressive in the late game, which fits a world that is supposed to be getting more unstable.
Late game should feel faster, not slower. Curious what others think.

Hey new player I noticed ai doesn’t build any airbases or upgrades them so in war they send very few planes over or the max they can have and do they only send missles with first wave and then no more missles ?

Media Germany after paying 10 billion to settle the entire Second World War: "Good thing we're done with it"

Post image
890 Upvotes

Playing Poland in MD, it's 2010. Demanded full war reparations from Germany and they paid 10 billion. Ten. Billion. For flattening a whole country. The news event says German citizens "praised their government's decision", which is the most German way possible of asking for a receipt.
Meanwhile Germany owes 1.8 trillion to everyone else, I have more military factories than them, and the Visegrad Group is now one country. They think that was the final payment. It was the deposit.
They paid in euros. We'll collect in hussars.

In my current save, China is indeed the same China as at the start of the game. Does anybody know how to fulfill this requirement, or is it just a bug? This also occurs in other N-Korean paths.

Question Possible WRP → Workers Party of Britain name change in Year 2019?

2 Upvotes

Hey devs, I am not to sure where else to put this but I was wondering if it would be possible to have the Workers Revolutionary Party change its name to the Workers Party of Britain around 2019, similar to how the PDS becomes Die Linke and UKIP becomes Reform UK.

I think it would be a nice bit of historical flavour and make the party feel more in line with real-world British politics during that period.

Would something like this be possible in a future update, or is there a particular reason for keeping the current name?

Thanks!
