is it actually possible to annex parts of china as japan? I cant remember correctly but once they go western you arent allowed to take chunks of them, only ports

>>16099481

Yes, you can ask for colonies bigger than ports once you have land bordering China. That's in HFM with Anon's submod at least.

>>16099503

what about the rest of GPs, can they also do it if they have lands bordering china?

>>16099601

>>16099583

>>16099503

>>16099481

I've read cb_types.txt for normal HFM and:

>if a state has less than 600,000 pops total you can always take it

>for coastal regions you need naval directionism (naval logistics for Japan) and machine guns (not required for Japan), you can't have any non-colonial provinces bordering the region you want to take (not ANY provinces for Japan - this is probably to activate the second set of requirements and make taking regions after you make treaty ports into states more difficult)

>for any other regions, you can never take ones with more than 2,000,000 pops; you need machine guns, military logistics, integral rail system (steel railroad for Japan) and the region NEEDS to border a non-colonial province with a railroad in it

So in several ways, requirements actually get more steep if you have a treaty port bordering the region, but once you meet them you can take them as non-colonial states (they merge with the state containing the treaty port and the whole becomes non-colonial) so it's a trade-off.

t. retard who takes everything at face value

Neither Hitler or Stalin had any good intentions towards each other. The Molotov-Rippentrop pact was not an act of permanent friendship.

>>16111319

To be honest NAP would have been fine if Germans had bothered to tell the Nips that it was ruse instead of real. That failure of communication was pretty much the worst mistake Nazi leadership did since without access to Vladivostok would have lost majority of the lend-leased supplies which prevented it from collapsing. It's also debatable whether or not Roosevelt's administration could have succeeded in provoking attack from Nips or convincing the public of the necessity to defend commies.

>t. retard

Japanese would surely be thrilled to attack USSR when they were already at war with China for two fucking years, it it only weren't for Molotov-Ribbentrop.

>>16111123

>>16111369

Discussing northern road by the time Japanese were already at war with China is pointless, as they never would have actually gone through with it even had Khalinin Gol ended favourably. Japanese main concern was the lack of resources, and the war with China steadily ate through their reserves. Even had they decided to adopt a defense policy in the south and simply switched to defense, instead focusing on the north, it wouldn't have helped them – while there are plenty of resources in Siberia, the bulk of them was still untapped and the infrastructure was often non-existent – it would take years just to trasport the mining equipment there from Japan, start mining operations, and build the roads and railways necessary to actually transport these resources somehwhere useful, all the while fighting back chinks from the south and russians from the west, not to mention the partisan activity over the massive fucking territory that is Siberia – it would be a logistical nightmare and Japan would run out of resources all the sooner, without accomplishing its goals. Perhaps if the Japanese attacked USSR in 1941 (rather than suggested 1939) in conjunction with Barbarossa, they could hope for a quick victory in Siberia as USSR would focus its units west, but even then it wouldn't actually help them with finishing the job in China, and more importantly, in 1941 the war in China was already taking significantly longer than expected and Japanese resources were stretching thin (which led to the desperate attack on USA in attempt to gain resources from Dutch Indies, Phillipines, and other western colonies). In reality, Japan lost its chance to go with the northern road plan in 1937, when it went to war with China. Had they waited for Hitler to start Barbarossa (as I doubt Japan could actually beat USSR in a 1 on 1 fight, even if we take the purges into account), they could have gained Siberia and taken on China later, but of course, nobody could have known such things would happen back in 1937 – Hitler didn't even Anschluss Austria back then and didn't seem like the head of a superpower, and worse yet, Germany seemed to be interested in cooperating with China rather than Japan due to the Sino-German cooperation.

Got the changelog lad?

ive been tied up with university since november more or less.

>>16112806

V1.44D:
•	New flags for Fascist and Monarchy Tibet. 
•	Gave china several montane farmland terrain provinces in Yunnan and Guizhou

•	Reworked the Aridoamerica alliance and vassalization decisions.
•	The player can now choose whether to accept or reject a GP building the Panama/Suez canal on their clay.
•	Fixed Austin still being a port.
•	Added a decision for Texas/Rio Grande to claim Texas/Rio Grande if either nation doesn’t exist.
•	Added 4 new sea provinces: St. Lawrence River, Lower Don, Lower Volga and Danube Delta.
•	Added a portage/canal-type province to the Welland Canal which connects Lake Ontario to Lake Eire.

Found the base mechanics to be fine, my only complaints are how fucking retarded ally AI can be. You can attack the enemy with you ally on the same tile and they will just sit there as your unit wittles away. Not to mention drawing offensive lines is clunky as hell. Also a huge pain to do naval invasions, don't remember how they where in HOI3.

Don't think anything's wrong with 2.8.3, I just never found hotfixes past 2.8.1 for a pirated version whenever I grabbed 2.8, so I played on that version with mods. HIP worked despite being for 2.8.3 as well, so CK2+ is probably fine.

Around 80% of the US-lend-lease arrived through the port in Vladivostok, significantly smaller portion through port in Murmansk and other routes. Look it up and you quickly see why Germany failing to communicate with Japan properly was major fuck up since despite their limited capabilities for assistance taking or at least blockading Vladivostok would have been relatively easy for Imperial Japan.

>>16111586

You are correct in saying that lack of resources drove Japan to attack Western colonies & US as per Nanshin-ron, but you forget that the key factor behind the attack was the US trade embargo which was only implemented after Japan took control of French Indochina. While Japan's position via resources was bad, until US stopped the oil trade there was no pressing need to invade colonies. If Germans had played the diplomacy game better & had Japan attack USSR during Barbarossa it can be argued that it would have been able to hang on depending on how its trade partners such as US & Dutch in control of Indonesian oil would have reacted. Given the hostility of the US leadership against Japan over the perceived rivalry over Pacific I would give Japan 40% odds of retaining their resource trade. Even in the fucked up case they would have likely managed to hang on since war with USSR would not have required the costly naval operations to the extent that Pacific War against US did. Take note that USSR would have been in no position to send troops to Asian front beyond the forces already stationed there. With Japan being able to at least deny US aid from arriving via Far East Asia despite the flaws of their ground forces Germany would have collapsed USSR pretty damn quickly.

While the US embargo was devastating to Japan oil reserves, they were rapidly running out of other resources as well. They hadn't expected the war in China to take this long. Even had they retained the trade channels open (which is dubious given Roosevelt's stance), it wouldn't have solved their problems, only alleviated them. That is besides the point, however, as we are talking 1941 – a time when Japan is fully invested all over China and in dire need of resources. They couldn't just go and attack USSR, not without basically abandoning their gains in China (which wouldn't go well with the public, or anyone, really.) While USSR did move most of its forces west, it only did so after learning that Japan would not attack them - they would have kept their troops there and Japan would need to actually fend them off from invading Manchuria, else Japan would lose all of the mainland, meaning Japan definitely would need to move its forces out of China. All the while low on resources and running out of time fast. It was simply a scenario they couldn't win – perhaps it would lead to Germany to winning the war against USSR, but it would sure as shit lose the war for Japan, and there's no way Germany would go all around the world to fight Japan's wars for it. That's why Japan didn't go through with the northern road and instead chose a desperate plan that, however, did hold a small possibility of success – acquire resources from colonies with which to prolong its fighting capabilities in China, which they would hopefully manage to wrap up quickly. That, however, did not happen and while the acquisition of colonies did alleviate the resource pains considerably, it also put further requirements on Japanese manpower as more fronts opened (In Burma, for example). Japan likely hoped that Hitler would kill USSR on his own (and it did look that way at the end of 1941) and then mop up brits and negotiate peace with USA. And, honestly, it's not even that bad a plan and it likely would have worked, had USSR not managed to unexpectedly push germans back. In the end, Japan lost WW2 because of exactly two wrong assessments:

1. They would be able to defeat china by 1941

2. Hitler would defeat USSR without Japanese help

>>16116517

>>>/leftypol/

Kill yourself.

>>16116486

Maybe defeat the Republic of China, but defeat the walrords and communists, they already had some manpower restraints in the chinese front before the Russian invasion of Manchuria thanks to the need of garrison of invaded pacific islands and western colonies (this happened after the sanctions imposed thanks to the bloody saturday scandal), also problems whit their military maritime focus, the usage of armour would have been of great help in mainland china, but still all the inland supply lines after when the japanese took Nankin and were fighing in the mainland were treatened by partisan activity, the second sino-japanese war was a mess.

warlords and commies didn't have much in the way of military. Commies mostly involved themselves with partisans, warlords mostly moved their troops under Nat. China command.

>>16116486

I agree with you about Japan being in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't"-situation in 1941. However I believe you overestimate the USSR's capabilities while underselling Nips a tad. Were the Nips in position for large-scale invasion of Far East Russia? Obviously not. But I would argue that they had enough to hold on until Nazis would wreck the Soviets while taking easier coastal targets likely Vladivostok or at least preventing foreign aid from going through it.

You are right in saying that Germans would not have been willing or able to help much even with USSR defeated, but at that point US & Allied leaderships would have been forced to reconsider their stances. Do remember that Chinese would have faced their own difficulties the further they pushed Japanese back while reducing the strain on Nip logistics. Japan's entry into war would have likely forced them to cede ground back to Chinese initially, but they would have still been able to hold on to the coastal regions where most of China's industry was located aside from those that were hastily evacuated to Chongqing. Nips certainly could not win against Chinamen, but they could certainly stalemate them. In that situation I would see eventual uneasy ceasefire and China split between United Front and Japanese. Both of those would be unstable as fuck with republicans, communists, warlords and god knows what else on one side while Japanese portion of China would have been equally fucked with Manchurian experiment & puppet Chinese government having their strings pulled by competing Japanese factions inside the mess that was Great East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere.

tl;dr: there's no guarantee that Japan deciding to adapt the Hokushinron instead of Nanshinron would have been force option like you insist, though given Imperial Japan's ability to shoot themselves in the foot I understand your doubts

>>16111319

Absolutely incorrect.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kantokuen

>>16116486

Dude. You need to stop thinking of the war in China as a traditional "War against China". It was not so. It was communist chinese agitating Japanese forces on the fringes of their sphere of control. The Japanese were not at war against China, which is why it "took longer than expected". The Japanese never wanted to invade China but were forced to keep Chinese agitation at bay while they frantically tried several options for peace. The problem was there was no central authority who could sign something like a peace treaty because China was in the middle of a civil war and the commies would not stop their shit after they forced the nationalist Chinese into a "unified front" against "Japanese aggression" and rape propaganda was very useful for this.

It was always referred to as "problems in China" or something along those lines, not "the war against China" and only later did it become known as The 2nd Japan-Sino War.

What Japan wanted most throughout WWII was peace, same as Hitler, but due to the unique position of the Tennou as a representation of the spirit of Japan rather than a sovereign ruler meant the factionalized military junta, Prime Minister, and Foreign Minister could never see eye to eye on how to achieve peace, drawing things out further. Politics were a mess in Japan at the time, which is the primary reason for them losing a war they never wanted. The 2-26 incident and the Kodoha were trying to remedy the situation before it began so they could Hokushin-ron in peace, but Japan never got in control of it's political situation.

>>16116930

>But I would argue that they had enough to hold on until Nazis would wreck the Soviets while taking easier coastal targets likely Vladivostok or at least preventing foreign aid from going through it.

Probably so, but at the cost of needing to divert large amounts of resources and manpower to the northern front, with no resource acquisition in sight. It's not that they couldn't take Valdivostok – they certainly could, even with increased soviet presence – but it wouldn't get them the resources they so desperately needed, while taking resources from the Chinese theatre, where they were already suffering shortages. It's not that the Japanse didn't recognise their strategic opportunities and capabilities, it's that defeating USSR was a much lower priority when compared to defeating China. Imagine for a moment that Japanese never went through with Pearl Harbour and instead got Vladivostok – it wouldn't solve their resource issues one bit and it'd just get taken by China as it pushed the out-of-resources Japan out of the mainland. Hitler winning the war against USSR and taking out allies only became relevant to the Japanese AFTER they seized the colonies which would resolve their resource issues.

>Do remember that Chinese would have faced their own difficulties the further they pushed Japanese back while reducing the strain on Nip logistics.

It would reduce the strain on transportation, but that would be of little solace to the Japanese when they would have nothing left to transport. Again, Japan went through the whole war in China by burning through the resource reserves they amassed during peacetime – after they ran out, that would be it. Japan couldn't continue the war effort, no matter how good its strategic position would be. The solution to this problem were supposed to be the colonies, but to get those, Japan would need to declare war on Allies, and that requires the southern road, not the northern road.

utilise terrain (mountains especially) for defense and encircle for offense. For proper encircling tactics, you need to go fast, meaning you should have some motorised brigades tactically placed to do the encircling or even utilise airborne assaults (those need a lot of tech and IC to unlock and build, though, so they're more of a luxury option). If you plan to play defensive (for example wait for someone else to beat the asshole attacking you), you generally do not want to waste time with land fortifications as they take forever to build, cost a lot, and only become wothwhile on level 5 and higher. Only exception would be if there's a particular bottleneck they could be used in or if you have no manpower with which to build troops – then the forts would be viable.

In case you are attacking USSR with Germany, you absolutely must go fast and and encircle as much as possible, defense be damned. Soviets are using ALL of their IC to shit out infantry divisions, have basically infinite manpower, and you WILL get overwhelmed if you allow the war to go on for too long. If you're invading China with Japan, you can use a more relaxed pace and just gradually take province by province – chink troops are too shit to actually counterattack as long as you put about 9 INF in a province and they have very low IC, meaning you should out-produce them. A good tactic is to grab all of their IC and laugh as they're left unable to produce any supplies. Just make sure you don't run out of resources.

>>16132639

What if I am France and the enemy on my doorstep is superior in manpower while not having Soviet-tier basic infantry?

Air combat in general is a massive waste of time and you can just ignore it entirely. Besides, allied air units from Britain will probably hold off the Luftwaffe on their own.

Damn, I actually never tried playing as France. From my experience, though, the moment France loses Lille, it all goes downhill from there, so try holding that at all costs.

I'm deeply saddened that despite the well deserved hate for paradox no one decided to laugh at the layers upon of layers of fat on the often dancing lead developer of eu4. Truly, the barbarians have taken over.

>>16136859

>it's not hip to be square

>>16134401

Either that was removed in D&T or it's specific to the Ming.

I started out during the Yuan rebellion. Not very challenging as there are several rebel states, but it means that the map will always look different once the Yuan are out of the picture. Then it's just the classic EU3 game of allying with B to take down A, then with C to take down B until you're the only dynasty left. It's a lot more fun than starting as unified China.

I could have stopped after I colonized America, but in D&T unified Japan is more or less as strong as China. After a first unconclusive victory, I built a large fleet for the specific purpose of defeating the Japs. The screenshots are after the second war, where I destroyed their entire fleet (the AI is still stupid) and took their overseas possession. 30 years later and they've already gotten a hundred ships. Also, I made them convert to the Chinese religion just to fuck with them.

Japan let the US convoy through their waters for no reason? or was it because the shipping was done by the soviets? i mean it just seems ridiculous to me, even without communication with germany japan shouldn't let an enemy nation do whatever they want in their territorial waters.

What the fuck japan?

>>16137982

I've actually never played Vicky. Still think CK2 is shit.

>>16138224

It's on hold, I'm taking a break due to wagecuck and exhaustion from modding the game for 1yr+ nonstop.

>>16144776

>i can only assume they didn't want to anger the soviets, but still, seems bizarre to me.

yes, that was it. they were already fighting a long war in china at the time, and didn't want to involve themselves in another huge land conflict. in addition, shipping to vladivostok was handled entirely by soviets and didn't include equipment or ammunition, it was just food and other non-military goods so japan couldn't have interfered with it on the basis that shipping weapons through their waters violated their neutrality.

>>16144776

Skirmishes along the Soviet-Japanese border made it clear that the Soviet army quality was way above Japan and they'd absolutely crush Japan. Which is exactly what happened when the Soviet army did actually invade.

>>16147735

>Soviet army quality was way above Japan and they'd absolutely crush Japan

That's bullshit

>Which is exactly what happened when the Soviet army did actually invade.

Like 7 years after the "skirmishes" when the kwantung army was a shadow of its former self, even so the japs gave a decent defense in some cases

>>16144776

>yet somehow they couldn't keep some ships in the spae between Sakhalin and Hokkaido?

The issue is that Japan and the Soviet Union had a non-aggression treaty that Japan was very keen on keeping, so as to not anger the Soviets they let the land-lease pass through.

Actually the Soviet had a pretty good army since they had weapons contracts to develop German tanks prior to the war & they made pretty reliable and easier-to-make weaponry compared to the much flashier and effective but ultimately difficult to produce German ones. The difference here is that Soviet leadership is an utter joke, they got gutted by the Finns because their generals wanted to impress the Soviet high command by pulling off a russian blitzkrieg so that Germany would shake in das boots but uh oh they forgot to issue proper camouflage and create a proper supply line so they flunked over and over again. The human wave meme comes from the fact the Germans were so good at pocketing the enemy that they would routinely get thousands of POWs without even trying, literally the only country that ever did human wave tactics to memetic standards are the Chinks, in fact I suspect that in a future war they're just going to try to send as many conscripts at the enemy as possible, in typical bugman fashion.

>>16156703

All I wanna know is the amount of KANGZ in the game. I suspect it will be pretty high. They also said that there are no historical records of Germania for the start of the game (Which is true, fair enough) so I'm sure they sprinkled in some stronk fymale rulers in the region. At least I wouldn't be fucking surprised.

>>16156733

Out of curiosity I looked it up and…

Whoda thunk.

>>16156773

that's pretty good for that price. But it couldn't run modern parashit at a decent performance. Just consider how many people needed to remove India from vanilla CK2. Or, hell, imagine MEIOU, but on a much bigger map

>>16156770

Yeah, they said they just made up tribes when they didn't know what was there at the time, and a part of me wants to be mad at them for it, but truth is it's probably the best way to handle it. We know it wasn't just an uninhabitated wasteland, so just placing some random tribes there is probably the optimal solution

>>16157595

Everything east of the Elbe to reverse the Germanization of Western Slavs. The entirety of Balkans and Anatolia because Third Rome. You might wanna go even further south to capture the Holy Land. All of Caucasus because it was Russian historically and to solidify Black Sea as your Mare Nostrum. Probably also Hungary, for no real reason other than to connect the western and southern expansion routes and make your borders look prettier.

>>16160064

do it for the memes

>>16152029

What saved Soviets' asses was the lend lease from western powers and just the sheer amount of factories that could produce cheaply manufactured, shoddily put together weaponry, but that could at least bring it to the Soviet troops much faster than Germany.

>>16152104

The point isn't the quality of Soviet armaments, it's the fact they had the industrial capacity to support the war, unlike every other major country but America.

>>16160398

>implying Germany wouldn't have annexed Finland too if it decided to go through with memecommisariat bullshit in Sweden

The entire Generalplan Ost with its reichscommissariats (save perhaps the ones in Poland, benelux, and Norway) was nothing but a wishful LARP that's played up nowadays as part of anti-nazi propaganda. Consider how many germans there would be after the war, how many civilians in occupied areas who would be set to be deprived of all property or even genocided (and thus would be forced to take up arms in self-defense), and how much territory would need to be policed. Germans would need centuries to breed enough to colonise those places (assuming the birth rates would actually pick up and there wouldn't be less Germans with each generation like today, something that is dubious, as despite Hitler's greatest efforts, they only rose by a minor amount) all they while they would need to somehow forcibly remove the native population, else they'd enjoy a century of constant gorilla warfare (which would likely be supported by foreign powers interested in breaking germany's hegemony). In reality, Germany would have set up some puppet states like it did during WW1, grabbed a few more chunks of Poland, and left it at that.

>>16160398

What's the yellow blob smack dab in the middle of Scandinavia? I thought all Saami peoples started further north.

>>16160609

>>16160510

Germany would collapse faster than the soviet union tbh

Everyone was some sort of dysfunctional retard or a cleptomaniac, there were three powerful subfactions and after hitler's death it would turn into a civil war and complete dissolution of germany herded on by america and japan

>>16163959

>>16161220

Holy wars activate when Islam does, last I checked. Roman Christians also get the sorta okay special reconquest cb's.

It's still rather silly to have Barbarian Kingdoms/assorted goobers rely on claims when there's no real foundation for such a thing outside of maybe Iran by gamestart, though. They deserve better than just generic feudalism.

I've been tempted for a while to assemble an autism project a la anon's HFM edits for it. But, I'm not settled on whether to take the 2.8.3 or wait for the Holy Fury update to see if I can keep the nice things while gutting all the rubbish additions.

>>16163979

I mean, you're asking us to choose between autistic 56% anatolians and gay communist muslims

>>16164392

We're at the point where a customized feudal elective (since Paradox managed to make that non-hardcoded but still can't fix the other elective succession law because ???) will probably be able to make a more functional merchant republic than actual merchant republics.

Another shining example of Paradox's crippling incompetence is their solution to the colony AI in EU4 (has this been posted about yet?). Before the Golden Century patches, it would mindlessly obliterate all non-accepted cultures, preventing American or Mexican from ever emerging. You'd also never see something like Puritan communities in the Thirteen colonies for similar reasons. To 'fix' this, Paradox just prevented the colonial AI from converting anything at all. This even managed to make the plebbitors angry, as the AI is now preventing people from getting some of the cheevos.

>>16164148

Oh shit, is all of what you speak on the 2.8.3 version? I've got the one fore 2.8.0 and I had to force Islam through mods. Is there and event I can trigger and maybe trigger in turn christian holy wars?

>>16164826

*force islam through console commands

>>16164826

Is there a section in the start-up options for 'Experimental Rise of Islam' or something along those lines? If so, set it to historical (dynamic is even more broken) and Mohammed will spawn sometime in the late 6th/early 7th century.

If you're in the middle of a campaign, though, I'll see if I can find the event code.

>>16164844

>>16164826

Found it. The id is 'zusk_event.51' to immediately spawn not-Mohammed and start the event chain.

>>16164855

Okay let me try that, but I'm already about 250 years or so in after the death of Mohammed with semi-force console conversions after unified islam to shiite and sunni all over the sand world because I wanted a meta and my autism demanded a game frome like 480AD to 1456AD

Are paragoyim suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, since no other company is making any grand strategy game of that scale or are they that delusional? Cause all the jewtubers that play their garbage seem to just riff on how broken everything is.

>>16166021

You know, I kinda understand now why Kaiserreich is so popular with paragoiym: they feel so oppressed and in such a dire need of feeling like dissent must never be around that they're willingly changing history to be on the losing side just to make it the winning side in their revolutionary, ragtag bunch of resistance member kind of fantasy mind.

>>16166042

Paradox games are the only games where communism actually works, so it's great escapism for these fucks.

>>16187374

Has anyone looked at stuff related to man the guns for shits and giggles? It looks insanely broken but the steam review is 4 stars and plebbitors seem to be eating it up. What gives?

>>16166133

Honestly, how would you balance that? it's a game, different political and economic models should give different flavours, not be completely useless even if they'd be irl. Not to mention the potential controversy.

Great DLC, Johan.

Been playing CKII, and I've been running into this problem where everyone turns into either a lunatic or possessed.

The event seems to be getting spammed, as even I get the event like once a month.

Anyone got any fixes? I'm willing to disable any and all diseases at this point in order to fix it.

>>16191708

I think my favourite moment was when I started banning political parties and declared that being gay is a crime (despite everyone in the country asking me to legalise fag marriage), and then made up for it by building some sports stadiums and raising the budget of the olympics team or whatever.

The whole thing is an overcomplicated mishmash of ideas that don't really work, with no quality of life features and a clear leftist bias.

thx 4 ur blog bro

>>16160653

>this is real in my mind

>>16199294

I've only glanced at it but it's so fucking lazy. Before the Naval ships would be class after real ships (so a Japanese 1940 super-heavy is a Yamato class, a German is a Bismark class) and such, whereas now they removed that because you can design your own ships now, so you can give them more turrets, different engine, basically the same thing that was in Hearts of Iron 3 so after 4 dlcs paradox finally managed to achieve the starting point. Instead of keeping the hull names and just calling the the "Yamato hull" "Hood Hull" "Queen Elizabeth Hull" etc etc to add flavour to the game. They've just renamed all the ships "1936 destroyer hull, 1940 destroyer hull" which is laziness on such a grand scale I can't even comprehend why they would remove the names of ships that are already in the game.

Another thing the DLC adds is fuel, again, the starting point as this already existed in the predecessor. This time though they've so badly balanced it that Germany, which had problems getting enough fuel for it's planes in the real war, is usually maxed out, whereas Britain and France can't use their navies because of fuel shortages.

Help me, anons, some mods for CK2 crash on me after I click on a title. Any idea what's going on?

>>16214055

I'll put in the backburner a geopolitical sim mod or revision then

THREADLY REMINDER

We are currently fine-tuning new tutorials for newcomers to our games. We believe that the best starting point would be Ottoman Turkey as they are not only the least powerful and in dire need of further buffs (which are still coming by the way), but would also be the greatest test of skill a player under any of our games would experience. Therefore, our tutorial would not only introduce players to our games but also serve as a means to really get good at grand strategy, which also needs a lot of accessibility. This way we ensure that all playthroughs are all about increasing skill and further experiment with the Ottomans to see what works best, while making the other countries more akin to casual play that you can relax to!

Regarding Imperator, we believe some islam-induced events could bring some much needed flavor to the setting as the empire extended to Anatolia and therefore romans were peaceful muslims.

t. Parafrica

>>16215440

Dont forget to debuff the overpowered byzantium, constantinople should be sunni turk at gamestart.

>>16215945

Play belgium, sweden or any south american nation to learn the ropes, they normally dont have any wars.

Believe me anon, the time limit is good enough for how the game works, you can take multiple states in a war (think of them like duchies in ck2).

Is there a way to diagnose crashes in Vicky, particularly when you know exactly what caused it? I'm trying to manually fire an event which worked in a previous version but CTDs now.

>>16216905

It's not quite Total War in that you're micromanaging troop formations, but instead commanding what would be called Hero units in Total War type games, as your generals have stats and skills that you can slowly cultivate.

Also specific to Sphere of Influence, you are playing as a single officer, who has varying amounts of influence on his/her forces based on the rank they have in their forces, ranging from only able to command troops, to having their own cities, being a ruler in complete control, etc.

Seeing shit like that is an instant assassination plot for me, including the children and the coalburner.

>>16228969

but that shit always happens to half of Europe. Shit's tenacious too:

>play Trebizond

>suddenly plague

>succession fucked, new heir is some faggot from distant branch married to a steppe nigger

>die

>all kids are steppe niggers

>kids of kids are too, as are their kids, despite never marrying them to other steppeniggers

>5 generations later, some irish cunt finally manages to spawn a white child

fucking ridiculous

>>16229095

I just turn on assassination as a free action. Paradox's goal is white genocide, so I won't allow that to happen in my escapism. I'm actually curious about running a game where the only political action I ever do (other than marriage) is assassination, to see how much of the world my family can eventually own.

>>16215440

>We believe that the best starting point would be Ottoman Turkey as they are not only the least powerful and in dire need of further buffs (which are still coming by the way

Yep that sounds like Paracocks

>>16227212

So much for muh historical immersion.

If I'm playing Vicky II as Finland what's the best time to try for independence? Should it be like real late game? I imagine I'd have to wait for something bad to happen to Russia.

>>16227212

There's a dedicated event that adds wild niggers to patrician gene pool. Even as the player you won't be able to stop your unmarried male kin from suddenly spawning some sheboon as wife out of nowhere. I recommend modding that event (REP.413 in republic_trade_events) to more amiable culture, or better yet multiple different cultures to add (white) diversity.

>>16224609

Also, how do I edit Vicky II's war handling to allow me to join any side in a war any time, not just when one side wants "status quo"?

>>16235365

>whites so weal they lose in video games as well

wew lad

>>16235474

The idea is fine, except the chicks of the all too common event are always magicked from the Slave Coast, and never from any of the several more immediate cultures in the proximity, and the gfx_culture handling of ethnicity means that it only takes a few coin flips for a patrician family to become permanently kangz.

>>16235474

They should just implement penalties across characters from different races, not just cultures. And make them high in order to prevent them from achieving positions of power. Not like Paracocks are going to do that though, because "muh racism."

>>16235336

If you are sphered by someone who isn't your overlord, they can get an event to support your independence. So, insult russia and improve relations with great powers and hope that someone can be bothered to sphere you and won't be afraid to fight russia.

Any king Arthur mods that are good? Lancelot cuckery almost ruins the myth for me so I have to fix it.

>>16237345

There's Winter Kang but it has a Lancelot (made into a huge coward and compulsive liar) and it makes Sagramore (a Hungarian) into a Numidian. Take that as you will.

>>16235474

They should add black eunuch traps enjoyed by Turks.

How easy would it be to get into Distant worlds coming from EUIV, CK2, HOI4 and Stellaris?

I really like Stellaris but it's not as deep as i'd like and the way the description in the OP makes it out, it seems like it'll have a steep learning curve

Is there ANY mod for EU4 that nerfs the Ottomans?

In every single game that I play they conquer Vienna and a huge part of Europe, the Middle East is always stable because everything belongs to them, and they can win against coalitions of European nations alone.

Plus, the thought of kebab winning makes me sick. I want to know if there is a mod that makes them much weaker than they are since paracucks buffed them to oblivion. Give the christian AI a clear chance to win and wipe them out or, at least, contain them

What's a fun Vicky II nation for someone with an okay amount of experience that hates managing SOI?

>>16239377

Initiate islamic golden age 2.0

Take Finland back from Russia if you haven't already, then the area around St. Petersburg and the Baltic states.

In a nutshell, reverse the outcome of the Great Northern War.

You meant Stellaris right, OP?

That guy is actually from Turkey.

EU3

Haven't been there in 6 years, not going to start going back.

>>16238642

I usually enjoy the challenge and rape them despite superior everything by exploiting the retarded AI and mechanics. It's true that it gets harder each update (since they get a buff every single update) and I haven't played vanilla in forever, but it should still very much be doable, even as BYZ.

But I get your frustration at having them pollute the map every time. I think MEIOU should slow them down, at the very least

>>16249594

Yeah, some of the events in M&T need a timegate/more reasonable triggers, otherwise it becomes ridiculous. France, for example, has a set of events depicting the establishment of the House of Valois-Burgundy (which can potentially result in France just getting Burgundy outright), but there's no limit as to when this happens.

It stole my vassal Burgundy from me (I was Austria and had gotten the best possible outcome of Burgundian Inheritance that gets you Low Countries and French Burgundy), put it in Personal Union, and inherited Burgundy within a few years. This was in the late 1500s, so I guess Philip the Bold found a time machine. It did give me a reason to take a more aggressive policy against the Frogs, but that was still nonsense.

Not entirely related but the Dutch Revolt is also busted, since it's nigh-impossible to avoid even if the conditions that lead to it aren't really there. Why would the Dutch still chimp out when they're all Catholic (I took the joke path that castrates the Reformation) and were treated as softly as possible during the Bildersturm? Before a fix, even a Burgundy/Lotharingia that moved its capital to the Low Countries and switched to the Low Frankish culture group would still get hit with it. You also lose all cores on the provinces that join the revolt because ???

>>16252955

>>16252966

How? How do people like these become moderators/admins in every fucking community every fucking time?

I haven't bought a game in over a decade but the next one that has at least one explicitly censorship free server I will buy even if I never play.

>>16252986

Moderators/Admins don't do anything to add in a community other than to police it.

>>16252986

Nothing ever is free, and since they don't get paid for moderating online communities, they have to make up for it with power tripping. And virtue signalling, in reddit's case.

Does anyone have a link to Aurora? I've been searching for it and all links are down

>>16252966

>>16252955

>parashitter reddit brigade virtue signals

Wow, who would have thought.

Does everyone here use anon's edits for HFM? I'm tempted to disable it since I keep finding that there's always one or two bugged decision or events that mess up my entire game.

Fuck me, UHES are really on the war path…. I’m gonna go in either Asia or Belgium next but this shit is ridicule

<anon, but why don’t you play as Brazil

C’mon now, I want to learn the game and picking the biggest one means when you do something wrong you don’t fail

>>16191401

>You can harvest infinite naval experience

At an extremely slow rate.

Also, all the alt-history paths you cry like a bitch about are completely optional - if you check the historical button at the start of the game, everything will happen as it did in the past. Stop being an ignorant idiot once in your sad life.

>>16259682

I never had Hue declare war on me, are you plaing some 1 province minor?

>>16260318

Playing as Colombia. As soon as I’ve made some army and make a CB on any neighbor I end up at war with HUES or deep in the game either burgers or UK due to the sphere influence

took me also 100y to make a factory…. in surely doing something wrong somewhere

>>16250136

>You also lose all cores on the provinces that join the revolt because ???

I think that's because the core mechanic itself cannot seem to decide what it actually represents. Sometimes it's portrayed as internationally recognised part of your country, other times it signifies the province being fully under control administrative-wise and the populace accepting you as their overlord (even though revolt risk and autonomy should deal with that) and other times something else entirely

>>16259682

>anything in south america for first playthrough

Lmao. Play the Netherlands, small enough but still can be relevant, and you can learn colonization.

Reddit is owned by jews and deletes the accounts of anyone who moderates but doesn't go against their narrative.

>>16265291

Berbers are pretty light-skinned, as were Vandals and Visigoths of course. The North African muslims deliberately bred with Arabs because Arabs "are the best muslims" and they needed some legitimacy as rulers so saying you were a descendant of Pedophile Prime was a good idea.

>>16265346

i meant more that the dude was so white he tried to look like an arab , meanwhile afro americans claim those people were as black as space rock

>>16265346

You really should pick up a theology book nigger

>>16265541

He married a 6 y/o girl and fucked her at 9, thats a pedophile you annoying muslim.

>>16265362

I know, I was confirming what you said. Native North Africans were pretty white. Emphasis on were.

>>16265541

Descendant of a relative of Muhammad, fair enough.

I'd say go for it but do CSA cores spawn in atypical places? How grob do you plan on making your confederacy?

>>16275742

Yes, it needs to have a US core and be a slave state to get a CSA core.

Go for the historical Gadsden Purchase, borders of Greater Cession look ugly.

>>16238642

Just tried EU4 with MEIOU after a long while, playing BYZ inb4 muh byzaboos. Holy shit, they sure are stronger than I remember, but luckily, there's never a shortage of AI retardation to exploit against them.

>constantinople has a fort needing 14k sieging troops to even start the siege ticker

>largest army in the world (Ottoshits) has 11k

>declare war while keeping my army back and my navy in port

>Otto decides to march to constantinople with his whole doomstack because retarded

>bring fleet out of port and block the strait (Otto navy is small and shit so no problem there)

>doomstack cannot move since the fort won't let them go past Constantinople and the ships prevent them from going back

>they can't even siege the fort because there's too few of them

>proceed to send my army to occupy Ottoshits with zero resistance as their doomstack squats around my capital, praying to Allah for cannons to get invented already

I love this shit. Every time Johan adds a new mechanic, it creates fun exploits like these to shit on the AI. Cue in Swedes getting asshurt about BYZ existing, so they buff Ottomans again (it's getting ridiculous. They're space-marine tier; you literally cannot beat those shitters in early game in a fair fight, even if you have the same tech level, superior numbers, good general and favourable terrain. And even if you somehow did, they seem to be swimming in money at all times, so they'd just make a new army).

>>16281179

I'm surprised they still have a strait crossing between Constantinople and Anatolia at this point.

>>16280089

Eat shit, yid. Trist was a traitor and Gasden was a retard. The whole damn thing is US soil.

Speaking of which, why did they remove the ability to sell land to other nations from Vicky 1? THAT HAPPENED ALL THE TIME IN THIS ERA. Is there a mod that can bring it back? And what's this event, anyway?

>>16272736

>workforce over 75% slaves

>american blacks now own other american blacks as slaves and everyone's okay with it

You know fucking nothing about history. This is what happened in Liberia in the real world. Fuck off.

>>16281686

Also happened in the United States lol

>>16281568

They really try to work around it. They made it so that you can't block the strait unless you control one of theprovinces on either side, and of course put a fort on the ottoshit province next to constantinople so as to ruin that tactic. I thought it was a fucking joke when I saw it – there's literally one strait in that whole fucking game that's in any way relevant, and that's Bosphorus, meaning they changed the mechanic literally just because they were butthurt about BYZ. Of course, the date is so late that turks already control everything around you so as to make you more fucked. I beat them in vanilla anyway, but it required extensive cheese and savescumming.

I expect EU5 start date to be right after Turks conquer constantinople

>>16100933

what game is this?

>>16252986

They're fucked up turbovirgins who have no friends or relationships and think that being in a position of e-power lends them credence and makes them a more respectable human being.

Terrible hole sucklers see who can suckle current admin hole the best to gain mod powers. They show off their incredible strength and power by banning people or making vague threats of moderator action as a way to attract potential mates or friends. Unfortunately, they don't seem to realise what they look like to normal humans.

They are chameleon skinned invaders of communities and they hunt for those beliefs which are simultaneously popular and allow them to judge others to make themselves look better. In this case, these gentlemen have latched onto the idea that islamophobia is a bad thing. They then use it to come up with the idea that posting islamophobic memes is a bad thing that must be stopped and if you do it then you're bad and you must be stopped, then they say they'll stop it and try to ban you or whatever in order to make themselves look like competent protectors of whatever it is they're trying to gain, whether it be a woman or a friend.

The reason they become moderators/admins is because they're one of the few kinds of people willing to put up with the monotony of it all because they honestly believe they'll get something out of it at the other end. It doesn't help that this kind of person is also the kind of person who gets bullied a lot because they're always fucking stupid, thereby giving that kind of person an inclination towards power tripping also.
