If I read the Dev. Diaries right, they are doing that.Developer Diary 1 posted:Some story types also come in multiple versions to avoid repetition, while others can be skewed by the ideology of your ruling party or by the laws of your Nation. For example, when a Communist newspaper reports that Communist rebels have overthrown the government in another nation they will write a much more positive story than a Conservative nation's paper. Another possible example is a nation with Censored Press may not reveal the exact number of losses when it reports on a lost battle. RagnarokAngel posted:I realize it won't do this in vanilla but it'd be really cool if some enterpresing modder could make the "Press Rights" decision reflect what appears in the newspaper and how critical of the government it is. But that would require a shitload of work. PrinceRandom fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Apr 11, 2013 |

Is there a way to mod in reforms in V2? I'm kinda curious if there has been any attempts to tackle Women's Rights. I can see it being rather difficult since PoPs are PoPs, but I think it could be an interesting event path or decision tree to add on.

All I was thinking of was a little boost to consciousness and a hit to militancy. Just trying to work POP productivness and such seems like a troublesome mechanic. In retrospect it seems kinda odd that there isn't a distinction between U/R and M/F, considering how dynamic those struggles were during that period.

Just Curious. Is Zionism implemented in V2 in any way? It may be too political for them to deal with, but from my limited understanding this time period is around the time when there was a rush of land buying in Palestine... I'm thinking it would be an interesting dynamic in my hopeful Arab Union game.

Alchenar posted:Zionism only really convalesces as an ideology towards the end of game timeframe and didn't really make any practical progress towards it worth modelling. It seems like V2 is really the only game that can depict it. I was picturing events where you were approached by an organization asking if they could buy land for settlement giving you some cash, some immigration and a increase in research points, while also causing a small increase in militancy and consciousness in the native population. Then the event could escalate with more offers of land purchase which could culminate in either nativist revolts or in separatism for the settlers. I'm not a modder though and really don't wanna start any political bru-hah-hah on the Paradox Forums.

Kersch posted:Are there any 'must-have' mods for Victoria 2? I seeing people suggest the Pop Demand Mod quite a bit back before I started playing the game, but I also remember seeing people say it screws up military units by giving them stats they shouldn't have, or something like that. It is a.. very ambitious mod. But as of now, it is messing with the map terrain that is causing some pretty bad attrition. New Nations Mod and Age of Politics are good intermediates (at least until PDM is fixed a bit more). It's also added some trade goods that can unbalance an economy that you are used to working fine in vanilla Vicky2.

It seems like most Goons here use D&T. Is it really better than MEIOU? I guess I'm kind of a shallow aesthetics person and I can't stand the default EU interface. Does it have things that really set it apart from MEIOU? Edit: On the topic of mods, has the Age of Empires mod (or whatever that American Colonization 1700's mod is called) been updated for HOD? I've been really wanting to try some alternative American colonization. PrinceRandom fucked around with this message at 01:58 on May 27, 2013 |

LordGugs posted:I've been playing Kaiserreich for a while now and just finished a game as Brasil, so I gotta ask what countries have really cool event paths, Does MittleAfrika have cool stuff happen to them because it seems like an interesting country but they end up never really doing anything. Uggh. I can answer this question way too well. You can try to centralize the Austrian Empire. You could play as the German Corporate state in South China and then, after following a certain event path, form the Republic of China or better yet, play as the Religious state (can't remember the name, the neo-Taipangs) . The Indian States are fun, but they don't really have an "ending" yet (there is no real events after unifying India and I yearn for Milites India pack). South Africa has some "imperialist" events and can chose just about any alliance to support after their election events. Mexico has some events that can let you beat up on America and I had a fun game as Nationalist France once, though they don't have many events. You can make a new Caliphate as Turkmenistan.

Does the AI suffer from attrition in vanillia (with More Nations)? The Brits just jumped in on my war (as the Ottomans) to unify the Arabian peninsula, and they are marching a 60-70 unit stack around the the loving Rub-Al-Qali with no skull showing attrition. Does it (the icon) just not appear for non-player nations?

OK, so in vanilla/NMM Vicky 2, Manifest Destiney should only fire if America managed to annex Texas right? Cause in my game as Mexico I managed to keep Texas and I just got the "Sell your land north of the Rio Grande to the US or we will invade" event and I'm a little confused. Edit: And I really don't wanna have to fight off the US every 4 years cause they got magic cores on half of my territory. PrinceRandom fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Jul 14, 2013 |

I like it out of deranged historical patriotism, but it'd be more realistic if Texas were primary culture Dixie and had both Yankees and Dixies. That was kinda what I was joking at. I didn't really understand why it existed except from a game-play standpoint of giving the RoT a Primary culture that wouldn't let them go on a North American conquest spree.

It'd probably be one of my favorite games of all time. One of my favorite things about the Kaiserreich mod is how it captured moral relativism and proxy wars. I like the idea of power blocs spreading Ideology through subversion, and find the actual warfare bits kinda boring.

Friend Commuter posted:It's supposed to be balanced by you paying a small fee for basing rights, multiplied by how many coastal provinces the rights-giver has, but that doesn't make up for the silliness of getting naval access from the Maya to colonise the Americas. Of course, now you can conquer native provinces and core them in no time flat and colonise from there, I guess you don't need to bother. Maybe if it was just Vassals or Allies it would make more sense. I can see the reasoning, maybe to give non-Atlantic powers colonies without having to arbitrarily conquer Gibraltar or Morocco.
