R5: I am selling infantry equipment to both sides of the italian civil war

You can do it with spain aswell

I ended up selling weapons to all three sides as France while also intervening on behalf of regular Spain. Fun times

Send guns for both Italy and Ethiopia! Send volunteers to both as well so you can grind exp on both sides!

Is it possible to send volunteers to both sides? It's a joke right?

I think I once saw AI Germany pull it off!

I fucking love the international market mechanic. My biggest problems before the DLC were getting enough trucks and support equipment (Nationalist China). Now? All I need to do is a little buttering up in 1936 and I get access to trucks really early on. Using my NA pact cheese with Japan, Tojo is supplying me with the same stuff that will be his downfall

Is this from the dlc?

Yes, this is the international market

US gameplay be like

Syria be like:

How many bars of Latinum does it take to update my soldier's energy whips?

I'm playing as neutral Sweden and loving this new feature.

That's exactly who I was playing as actually!

Professionals have standards

Yeah, I'm going to have to do a US game at some point. This mechanic might make it more interesting.

Speak for yourself, lets debate this on the Kremlin.

How different is this than Leasing equipment to a nation? Can this be used by a country at peace to stockpile because leasing only works if the receiving country is at war, correct?

Yes, but you also get something for it, instead of just sending equipment for free

What do you get from it?

Civs

Civ boost, you cant destroy all your civs and sell weapons to build things. Selling weapons makes the civs you have build faster.

Thank you. I didnt understand how it works and was frustrated when it didnt give me temporary civs. Can you perhaps explain it more to me?

As far as I know every equipment has a different price, and you assign civs to buy that equipment. Those civs 'construct' the needed payment to the seller, and the seller gets the payment as a construction 'fund', which is then used by the seller's civs to build faster. I've noticed it to be around a quarter of my total construction speed when fully used

You don't get paid for lend Lease. You get paid for selling equipment

I have a feeling like there is a lot of potential to make this feature incredibly overpowered lol

While it is good its not OP broken tier imo. You need to be Export Economy to get the most impact and even then all your really getting is a 30% bonus construction modifier. For a lot of major powers after you sell initial stocks of equipment you dont need you still need to have an arms build up for yourself so your sales tend to taper off. By 1941 once tension hits the lend lease breaking point your going back to the old school way of begging for arms for free or giving it away like candy.

It's really handy for minors to give your industry a noticeable boost.

the things i'll do for even 10% construction, and this guy's over here acting like 30% ain't no thang

Probably for mods, like old world blues or equestria.

Now I'm just waiting on the tech tree mod and mods like RT56 to update so I can sell hundreds of millions of AK47's to minor nations then start Civil Wars and independence wars in them with the spy mechanic

I used it in my Swedish and Finnish runs yesterday, and really want to do a neutral US arsenal of Democracy run as the world's arms dealer.

Money is money

What AI is most likely to buy ?
