Hey Wiz, not sure if they've been reported yet but just in case, using the latest version of EU3+ it looks like Luks (in Prussia) is an Italian and Pisan core.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Did I somehow miss this, or haven't anyone linked the EU4 dev diary for France? One thing I noticed in this dev diary is they've changed country borders in terrain map mode from the confusing two-tone pattern to a single colour, based on the country's political colour. I think that's a really good change (reminds me of Total War games), and I might even start playing in terrain mode now!

You must take East Prussia, then liberate Lithuania to restore the Commonwealth.  On a different note, I'm a bit lost in Darkest Hour. I'm pretty sure I understand the mechanics, but I'm still not sure of what I should be producing at a given time how I should be splitting my IC between production and upgrading. For example, as Germany starting in 1936, should I start producing infantry, tanks and planes right away? Or should I be waiting for more modern techs so I don't have to upgrade in the future? And how often should I be upgrading my troops? Should I fund production and upgrading equally, or go whole hog upgrades until they're done, then switch to production?

I'm not sure if we knew this beforehand, but that preview also confirms that the game will include Revolutionary France. Here's hoping the revolutionary mechanics are a bit more fleshed out than in EU3.

Fintilgin posted:It's bizarre that they can't get EUIII "complete" pulled down from the stores and just sell chronicles or whatever. I don't know if it's a problem with Steam and distributors or what. Seems like it ought to be easy to go to them and say, 'hey, we don't want to sell that SKU anymore' or whatever. Part of the problem might be that (at least on Steam) Chronicles is considered EU3 Complete with HTTT and DW considered as DLC. Because buying Chronicles is considered the same as buying Complete then HTTT and DW, they probably can't ask for Complete to be removed without breaking Chronicles.

I'm really glad that Paradox is adopting the CK2 method of diplomacy (ie yes/no based on factors which are explicitly stated to the player) in the rest of its games. And of course, the crisis system is looking amazing.

New EU3 Dev Diary about the Coalition system and changes they've made to overextension and coring. Overall it sounds promising, hopefully the quick initial speed to core doesn't upset any balance (or my fragile borders).

There's also a pretty weird event series for if you have no royal marriages and no heir. It starts with this one, where you get the chance to sound like a sperg about sex but more importantly also get the opportunity to pick up the really good modifier 'sought after bachelor', which gives you +0.02 prestige and -0.5 infamy. The downside is that every now and then one of these two events show up, where you have to give up the modifier or risk a 1/10 chance of your ruler dying (!).

Either consumption rates for units should be adjusted or it should be another source of fuel for IC- like, maybe 1/4 a unit of oil per IC?

I wouldn't be too concerned about the sometimes poor English you see in dev diaries. Even games developed by PDS have odd syntax in their dev diaries, and the guys making EvW are basically a glorified mod team, you can't expect everyone working on the game to have perfect English. The entire April Fools joke was a poo poo idea (especially compared to the awesome EU4 one~), but on the Paradox Crisis Scale from Capitalists Builds a Factroy to Ubik Takes Over Clausewitz Engine, this rates pretty low.

You should all vote for it so we can all enjoy the feeling of letting a possible human trafficker into the country because his papers are in order. As far as the dev diary goes, I'm interested in the special Netherlands revolt mechanics - I wonder if Paradox will be using the same sort of system for colonial revolts (and maybe other nationalist/religious revolts of the period? I don't recall any though).

ZearothK posted:On the subject of The Imperialist Adventures of Srbja, I'm pretty satisfied with the mod as it is now, though I still have some stuff I want to add (like unique newspapers and renaming parties/provinces). But if I were to add any other events or decisions it would be based on input or on actually doing the LP to set the official history. Back when I first worked on this I planned to do a conventional LP, as V2 didn't seem to enjoy a player base large enough to support the Succession style of the original, but now that HoD has significantly increased the interest in the game, I wonder... Also in my current game Serbo-Byzantium is no longer a great power (in fact it is no longer a secondary power). This is of course a bug. Please fix tia.

I really love Victoria 2 with its expansions and NNM, but the lategame can be such a drag. Oh boy another great war, time for all of my meaningless African possessions to get occupied for negligible warscore while I play whack-an-army with Russia and Britain's infinitely many 5-brigade stacks besieging all my provinces behind the frontline. I like great wars because they always shake up the political landscape (at least with NNM which adds the ability to dismantle empires and gives a whole load of militancy to the nations which lose), but I hate having to micromanage my thousand-brigade army. I'd kill for an AI control feature like HoI3.

I really hope the rebellion system in Victoria 2 is more fleshed out one day. As it is, it kind of works early in the game (though often there's no rhyme or reason to why a given movement revolts instead of biding their time), but late in the game when you have armies made up of hundreds of brigades it just turns into rebel whack-a-mole. Ideally I'd like fewer but more dangerous rebellions; what if, instead of just revolting with what they've got, the Jacobins spread discontent throughout your armies so when they launch the revolution entire armies might swap to the rebel side, instead of bands of farmers and labourers? How about if one nationalist rebellion fires, the chance of other nationalist rebellions occurring increases accordingly? This would make late-game Austria-Hungary the hotbed of dissent it should be, instead of just tedious because of the annoyance of having to deal with large but non-threatening rebellions one at a time. Also, movement radicalism could serve to be a bit less binary. Early on in my Austria game, I had a suffrage movement of 2 million people (out of a total population of 9 million) with a radicalism of over 90, but just below 100. This mean that none of those 2 million were inclined to join the Jacobin rebels, which was only made up of 20 thousand people. I mean, more than 20% of the population are actively campaigning for the right to vote and are having their voices ignored for more than a decade, but none of them were ready to take the extra step of planning a rebellion?

That'd be the ideal. Unemployment, reactionary policies and revanchism should be major contributors to revolts, but something like only having a 14-hour workday as opposed to a 12-hour workday shouldn't contribute as much.

The EvW post-impact report includes the exact number of people killed by your nuclear strike. I can't see this leading to horrifically detailed genocide LPs, no siree. On the plus side EU4 is looking great. Japan basically seems like how Wiz implemented it in EU3+, which is great. The stuff about the scoring system is neat, too - it sounds like a fun little way to keep track of where you stand on the world stage while not being intrusive at all.

There's a decision for primary-culture Polish nations to unite, but to do so requires the cultural union Poland to exist, not just Congress Poland. However, Congress Poland will naturally form Poland as long as they're not a subject nation and they have 45 prestige, so after enough time passes Poland could form and Galicia would unite with them (provided Galicia is also not a subject nation). The problem with that plan is that Poland will have cores on your territory, which they won't be happy about (they'll never ally with you).
