yermato posted:If some sort of Steppe wolf LP thing is actually going to happen in this thread or elsewhere, I would like to humbly request to participate. I actually managed to download a version that runs relatively well on my pc a few months ago, though it seems to be a bit different from the one Wiz played. I even did a little aar on the paradox forums playing the Vikings, though I stopped updating it because I got bored with it (some scenarios literally have nothing happen in them, see all the ones with the Roman Empire, for instance). It's worth noting that the author of the mod also did an aar of his own mod, playing as... well, that might not be too difficult to guess. It was pretty hilarious, too. ABORT, ABORT! THE POPE'S GONE ROGUE I REPEAT, THE POPE HAS GONE ROGUE! Fire the Cardinal-seeking missiles. DICKHEAD posted:It is. The mod is loving pile. Okay, that made me laugh out loud. Is Kim Jong-Un in as a successor to Kim Jong Il? What are his stats? I must know.

Patter Song posted:Is it bad that I find "American Rome" more problematic than I find your not having sight of Hungary? I was going to mention that it was odd that a large chunk of the Balkans had not yet been discovered by Germany in the 1940's. This mod is great. American Rome is just so random - I'm going to guess that if the United States conquers parts of Europe, it becomes 'American Rome'. Because 'American Europe' would just be a regular kind of lame, and whoever created SteppeWolf saw it as his duty to go for maximum absurdity.

So I'm kinda curious. Given that the EU3 system gave units stats from about 1-11 or so in each category to model their increased powers and so on, how does this game deal with the range of military power available to units throughout two thousand years of history? Do modern units just get something silly like 263 offensive shock or something?

Have you ever wanted to subjugate all of Peru with Roman ballistas in 15 AD? STEPPE WOLFE.

I just played a game from 1953 to 1971 as Bulgaria. It was... indescribable. I now have about 200 screenshots to sort through and edit, but I'd love to post this. I think my savegame is corrupted now though, my game crashed and now it doesn't respond when I try to load the save, and the previous one is from 9 years earlier. I'll try to recover it as best I can.

The thing I find most hilarious about the WW2 STEPPE WOLFE screenshot up there is that the entirety of Germany's Barbarossa campaign, an invasion that has cost the lives of millions and scarred the landscape of Eastern Europe for years to come, is resolved with Germany conceding defeat. "Yeah ok you guys won. We still keep all our land though ok see you in five years"

Oh no, what happened to Mann? What have those fascist Britains done to Mannkind?  Also south-east Asia is like the Caribbean with every European country with two ships and a rifle staking claims. It'll be interesting to see how that situation develops with a unified Japanese Republic and a powerful Chinese Empire nearby.

Sorry I'm late to the game, but Wiz, why did you decide to hand Karelia etc to Finland? I was actually surprised at the AI's ability to demand pretty borders from that peace. Also, someone should totally LP SuperPower2. And by that, I mean start as China, get the economy set up to bloom, and then set_speed 1000 and wait until you are 99.999999999999999% of the population of Earth, because that's just how population growth WORKS mother fucker.

Sorry if the Steppe wolf derail is getting old, but I decided to see how the greatest EU3 mod would handle one of the bloodiest and costly wars in US history, the American Civil-- ...never mind. War doesn't even last a year, we both have nothing but level 1 forts so our tech level 200 soldiers instantly assault forts (I abuse the poo poo out of this, America waits a month attacking a level 1 fort with 50+ units while I take Washington and Baltimore). The Civil War ends with minor territorial concession from the USA. I convert to Anglicanism to thank my British allies/solidify the relationship, and found a republican dictatorship. FUN FACT: apparently the mod's creator removed whatever was preventing you from changing government when you're at -3 stability, so once I changed from a Republic to a Constitutional Monarchy, I saw that I was at -2 stability, but figured I'd go for broke, take the 1 more stability hit and bounce around until I got to a republican dictatorship. Best mod ever.

In all seriousness, you really don't need to do that much settlement policying. As Servant is fond of pointing out, most (but not all) of the game's religions are annex=yes, which means that culture-conversion happens automatically with religious conversion. Also, if you're going to be the Bulgars, start at 680 AD, for maximum Old Great Bulgaria. Edit:

You should do it. I started a game as Parthia once in 11 AD and the countries on the Eastern border would routinely take a stack of 3-4 horse units against my 14 stack of units and take out 1000 troops at once. It was ridiculous.

To be fair, it's an extremely ambitious mod, and with EU3 already being quite flawed to begin with, it's only natural that the mod would not fully live up to its attempts. Of course, it also does everything the exact wrong way.

uPen posted:Right so I get that Bulgaria has existed with near modern borders for over 1000 years, but what is Volga Bulgaria up in Russia? The Bulgars originally came from the Volga region: some migrated down to present-day Bulgaria and conquered it away from the Byzantines in the 6th-7th century and converted to Orthodoxy, some stayed by the Volga, went Sunni and were eventually conquered by the Golden Horde. Both get the "As a Bulgarian state, we gain several bonuses" thing. The final foes in any good Bulgarian game are...the other Bulgarians.

I loaded up a game of SteppeWolf as the US during the Vietnam war. These are the things I notice before I even unpause the game: -We can become defender of the religious tolerance faith. -The US can form Great Britain -The mission I have is to create a fleet. -All of my soldiers are from the Napoleonic era. Apparently the US didn't modernize until the Eisenhower administration. -Moving my slider towards Centralization (it was only halfway there) causes 4 rebels to pop up in Atlantic City, and another group to pop up in Micronesia. I move my stack of 104 units to Atlantic City and they are wiped out. BrooklynBruiser posted:Also, why not just call the USA the USA? I mean, poo poo, it's the USA. It rebelled at around the same time, from the same power. I know this is from a few pages back, before the SteppeWolf stuff, but Wiz I'm going to ask you not to do this, and keep it named Missouri. In fact, I'm pretending that the George Washington of this timeline is Thomas Hart Benton, just because.
