The Narrator posted:This is just a nightmare, right? Or the fevered ramblings of madmen? Speaking of which... Lietuva in 1.09 is wet dream of Putin Lietuva is Lithuanian word for my homeland in Pope's bules called Lituae in old ruthenian Litva, in old german Lettowen, all scientists agree that all forms come from lithuanian word of Lietuva or Lētuvā. So all Lithuanian lands should be called Lietuva. Big part of XX century lowland Lithunia (Žemaitija or Samogitia) was called by name of Lithuania by our enemies - first by Poland, then by russians. Now Kremlin's "historians" state that Lithuania was only nowdays Samogitia, and prusians were some sort of russians (iskonno ruskie zemli) - so no Baltic tribes existed, only small band of Zhmuds... Is bad enough to see our coat of arms in ruthenian hands - no ruthenian dukes held this coat of arms, only lithuanians dukes (I agree that our grand dukes only after aquired big teritories in the east started to use Vytis as their coat of arms and in first it was depiction of grand duke himself) and big part of Lithuania is in Masovian hands. Please don't make Lietuva as small as nowdays Samogitia. This land could be called "Samogitia proper" or something... in lithuanian it was Žemaitijos Seniūnija (latin: Capitaneatus Samogitiae, polish:Starostwo Żmudzkie).  ALL SCIENTISTS AGREE

Would probably be pretty unbalanced/annoying, depending one whether you're using the normal map or the HOI3 map though, but I think it could work. Just having the German settlers be a simple bonus to tax/defensiveness, without flipping the province culture, would probably be better on the normal map really.

If I wasn't worried abuot just how slow the game would run, I'd use that. It'd end up being ridiculously unbalanced though, because even if you drop trade values down to 1/10th of their current prices, trade and production income will be incredibly high. It would make a better CK2 map, at least the Europe portion of it. Or an Indian sub-continent map for CK2, that would be interesting.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Add a German settler mechanic similar to the Jewish settler mechanic of MMtM (and probably other mods as well, might be part of that SRI mod?), just with different conditions and effect. Each time you settle more Germans, add a modifier N+1, which when it's high enough compared to the population, switches the province culture to a generic German (or state culture, if a German state). When you first settle Germans, you would have the choice of either getting +tax, or +defensiveness from your settlers (multiplied by higher levels of the modifier), which would lock your choice for the province. That bonus would stay even when the province flips, preventing further settlement. That's basically German settlement of Eastern Europe. I'm gonna be the PC brigade now and complain about the lack of Wlach, Roma and Tatar migrants in your proporsal

Do the MM folks still even have the source code and/or the right to keep working on it? I don't get what the point of relaunching the website is, unless somehow Ubik still has people working for him for free and he thinks he can still release the game. I dunno, maybe for free? By the by, is Kaiserreich compatible with the latest casualty-tracking DH patch? And is there a way to turn Japan into a Syndicalist country? The new LP got me thinking.

Why not just skip the formalities and mod CK2 to add a "Kingdom of the Balkans" with de jure claims on everything from Cyprus to Trieste? Set all the cultures to just Balkan (in the culture group with Polish, obviously), make everything Catholic except Shia in Turkey, make all the nobles Italian and Roma. For EU3/4, just do a mod where Europe and the Middle East are glossed over like the rest of the world in vanilla, but Asia, Africa and the Americas get detailed historical events and each nation has accurately modeled political systems. Model dozens of individual daimyo with the HRE mechanic, replace the HRE with Austria, Bavaria, Lombardy, Burgundy and a renamed shogunate. All HOI needs is a mod that switches division names around so the Desert Rats are fighting in Burma and the 101st and 82nd are marine divisions.

I'm going to assume Ubik is banking on a carrer as a Swedish Contract Law expert. Other fun things for those who didn't poke around the UV forums before it went down - shortly before the end Ubik went on this big, massive rant about how Paradox clearly "feared" Magna Mundi and how it would show up presumably the entire Paradox product line as being weak and inferior. His evidence that they feared Magna Mundi and were actively sabotaging it? The fact that they weren't promoting it hard and tried to deflect questions about it at expos and the like. He bragged about how, despite being given practically no presence or booth space at one particular expo, he and the MM team who were there nevertheless actively raised a fuss, passed out brochures, and wrangled interviews despite Paradox reps trying to shut them down. Keep in mind this is all months after the original release date passed with the game itself still in a code-wrecked shambles, missing things like working war, diplomacy, and AI, with even the most supportive beta-testers saying things like "It doesn't really crash all THAT often, and anyways there's autosaves."

Playing EU3 and man I hope Paradox takes a few pointers from CK2 for warfare reasons. I thought I was ok with "No casus belli" wars but I forgot how goddamn frustrating that is. EU3 plus helps a lot with AI restraint and breaking up some of the bigger countries but he can only do so much in regards to cascading alliances and I seriously hope they work on that in EU4. I feel bad for save scumming but when mecha-Bohemia gets called in because they're a friend of a friend, I don't think it's really on me for loving that up. Edit: On the topic of EU3 Plus. For the colonial power decision what provinces are the Northern/Southern exploration ports? RagnarokAngel fucked around with this message at 16:06 on Jan 16, 2013 |

It makes fighting OPMs a nightmare because they always have at least a two province buddy, and that two province buddy will be so much stronger than his one province ally that the TPM takes control of the war, calling in God knows who, who in turn takes control and calls in someone even bigger, and basically by 1600, all wars involve France or Spain.

The design idea makes sense, as it would be ridiculous if smaller country A has a major power ally B, but B never gets the chance to help, because the aggressor quickly gets what they want from A and pieces, ending the war. If a dramatically more powerful ally is called in, it makes see for them to take control of negotiations, historical preference or not. Cascading alliances is another matter.

I wouldn't mind if the second-level allies could be called but only fight in defense of their actual allies' territory so they can't get improbably roped into the initial aggression. But that raises some questions about how strictly you define that (must the fighting take place within the ally's borders?) and might be too nuanced for the AI to handle.
