CFS - When the Tag Wins, the Game Sets a Defeat for Everyone Despite it Should be Marked as a Stalemate (OFN Mandate Congo Scenario)

Hearts of Iron IV (HOI4) is a grand strategy game developed by Paradox Development Studio, where players take on the role of a nation leader during World War II. The game is known for its complex gameplay mechanics, intricate diplomacy, and the ability to shape the course of history. However, like any other game, HOI4 is not immune to bugs and glitches. In this article, we will explore a specific issue that arises in the American scenario of the Congolese Civil War, where the tag's victory is marked as a defeat for everyone, despite it being a stalemate.

The Congolese Civil War is a scenario in HOI4 that takes place in the Congo, a region in central Africa. The scenario is set in the 1960s, a time of great turmoil and upheaval in the region. The scenario involves several factions, including the government, rebels, and foreign powers such as the United States and the Soviet Union. The scenario is designed to be a challenging and realistic representation of the conflict, with complex gameplay mechanics and intricate diplomacy.

The issue at hand is a bug that arises when the USA achieves a Total SAW Victory, the OFN Mandate Congo collapses, and Lumumba wins in the civil war. In this scenario, the tag's victory is marked as a defeat for everyone, despite it being a stalemate. This is a problem because it goes against the expected behavior of the game, where a stalemate should be marked as such, rather than a defeat.

The expected behavior of the game in this scenario is that the tag's victory should be marked as a stalemate for the USA and Japan. This is because a stalemate is a situation where neither side is able to achieve a decisive victory, and both sides are left with a draw. In this scenario, the USA and Japan are not able to achieve a decisive victory, and therefore, the tag's victory should be marked as a stalemate.

To reproduce this issue, follow these steps:

Total SAW Victory for the USA: Achieve a Total SAW Victory for the USA in the Congolese Civil War scenario.
The OFN Mandate Congo collapse: Allow the OFN Mandate Congo to collapse.
Lumumba wins in the civil war: Allow Lumumba to win in the civil war.

In conclusion, the issue of the tag's victory being marked as a defeat for everyone despite it being a stalemate is a problem that arises in the American scenario of the Congolese Civil War. This issue is a result of a bug in the game, where the expected behavior of the game is not met. To reproduce this issue, follow the steps outlined above. We hope that this article has provided a clear explanation of the issue and has helped to shed light on this problem.
