Still lost with interphases

[abulbulian]

In August 1914 is there an interphase? How do you know again when you're in one? Somebody said it was clearly marked, but I'm not ever seeing it???

Anybody know. I'm still feeling like each turn I don't want to end turn cause I know I forgetting to do something that will cause me to restart the game later.

Game phases are written in the box below the minimap. There is not Interphase in August 1914, although the game sequence is a bit different on THAT specific trun. I'll publish here soon a special summary of the August 1914 turn

You can always save the game and come back to it if you discover that you missed something in a prior phase. I save after each phase.

Indeed. I save every time before I hit the calendar button for turn advancement in case soemthing borks in the resolution.

Yeah, I save almost each time I do something. But I've still never seen anything mark a turn as 'Interphase'. Is there actually text for 'Interphase' or is it something else more abstract I need to see on the turn?

What is the point of the interphase? I never managed to do anything during one of them.

In the lower right hand corner is the minimap. Directly below the minimap you will find which phase you are in. It definitely lists 'interphase' as one of the turn's phases.

You are correct in that you do not actually do anything during the interphase, but the AI does. The AI calculates the NM, production, etc.

[abulbulian]

Lol, just when I thought I understood, you throw a monkey wrench into Interphases for me.

I thought we get a chance to choose political events (not major events, but events like war economy and subs warefare), ammo prod, unit builds, research, and economic aide.

What do you mean the AI does everything??


PS: I've almost pulled all my hair out trying to understand WHAT to do WHEN in the game.

You can choose the political events such as war economy, sub warfare, etc during the military phase. Things such as ammo production and unit builds can be done at any time. As I understand it, the interphase determines the effects of your efforts.

[abulbulian]

Ok, so now I'm not feeling so stupid. So can somebody please list *ALL* the things you can/should do in the military phase?

I do KNOW NOW that what you finally decided on from the last military phase will be executed at the Interphase and reported back to you with pop-ups? Am I correct with this ???

Thanks So much!

Well all the economic/political options (ie those options that can be accessed under the tab with a flag on it) and military decisions can be taken during the military and if I'm not wrong the diplomatic and redeployment phases. Then these decisions are carried out during the interphases.

At least that's my understanding of how it works. Which is why I asked if there was something I missed above...
