I don't understand something about MPP (ports, cities).

[Blashy]

Most of the time, sometimes throughout the whole game.

I'll have a port and city, actually a whole whack of them remain at 50% production.

For example: if I take all of Africa from Italy those ports and the UK ports along with the city just remain at 50% even if the whole MED waterways belongs to the Allies.

How do I get this to start going up?

In order for cities/ports to increase from 5 to 8 (they can't go above 8) they need to be connected by land to friendly capital city. So, for example, if the north African cities/ports belong to the Allies then they will increase to 8 if Iraq also belongs to the Allies and if the USSR is in the war (giving a land link to Moscow). If north Africa belongs to the Axis, then the value of ports/cities will go up if Spain, Gibraltar and the African part of Vichy France are taken (giving a link to Rome and Berlin).

Thank you.

Now if they can't go above 8, why does it say that 5 is 50% capacity, should it not be 62.5%?

Is that a glitch?

[KDG]

Not a glitch. 10(100%)is the max for a city/port, but a captured city/port has a 8 (80%) as max.

Is there a reason why Russia stays at 50% even when it surrenders? Not that i really matters, because forcing Russia to surrender really gives you the game anyway

USSR has a few unique rules, and this is one of them. Occupied cities or resources in the USSR will have a max strength = 5. This also applies after it surrenders.
