DrProsek posted:Yeah the same ISP basically means as much as saying "Both Ubik and that poster have a T-Mobile phone" or "Both drive Mazdas". Sure it kinda narrows it down but even if it's an ISP that only serves clients in Lisbon, that still doesn't really mean it has to be Ubik, and if it's not unique to Lisbon, then it basically means nothing. Same IP address, not ISP. IP addresses aren't a guaranteed match, but since they tend to release/renew fairly infrequently, it's pretty suspicious.

If he misposted and it's the same IP address then we know either Ubik and this guy post from the same network, or Ubik needs to stop letting his fans use his home computer as a proxy server. Or the guy is Ubick  .

Miles Vorkosigan posted:How do you increase the number of possible brigades you can create besides maxing military spending? I'm playing as the USA and despite maxing military spending my potential brigade number hasn't gone up at all. So if you're still wondering, I played a game last night as the US and managed to fairly easily take my rightful clay  .Basically, you want to watch Oregon and Washington like a hawk, and pump as many CP as possible into whichever one the British go after (Washington in mine) as fast as possible. While doing that, you want to put just enough points into the other colonies to stop Mexico from taking them (so basically only put points in as Mexico does, then just try to stay ahead of them). Meanwhile, watch the colony indicator up top, and as soon as you can turn one of your existing colonies into a state, do it. Eventually, Britain and you will both get up to level 15 in a colony, and you'll have a crisis over it, but in the meantime you should have colonized all your other territory. What's really important, basically, is managing your points. As long as you make sure you always have enough points to stay matched with the British, you can spend the rest of your points taking colonies along the Mexican border (Mexico can't put up much of a fight). The important thing is to not get too far behind Britain, and to stay in it. You *will* win the crisis as long as you haven't alienated everybody, since most of the great powers other than Prussia are not going to want to support Britain. edit: So far I really like the new colonization. I actually think this system is way more awesome than it has any right to be. Defeatist Elitist fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Apr 16, 2013 |

I had the exact opposite experience- every other GP threw in with Britain, so I had to bite my tongue and hand it over to them. For some reason they all had the indicator "too many wargoals", despite the fact it was only "acquire the colony of Washington", which was exactly what Britain had. I'm not mad enough to wage a Hohenzollern Weltkreig over a small bit of territory.

Were you involved in any other wars, and had you taken manifest destiny or the thing that gives you a core on Cuba? In my game I had no other wars, and had taken neither of those, while Britain was engaged in some other wars (as they almost always are). I figured Too Many Wargoals meant that that side was already doing too much poo poo, since Britain got that modifier in my game.

Laissez faire is loving worthless and you should burn it in the same incinerator you use to burn all your other Ron Paul garbage.

Drone posted:Admin efficiency determines how effective you are at collecting tax and profit in your country. Admin efficiency has no effect on tax revenue (you're thinking of tariffs). That said, having 100% admin efficiency is pretty critical, since it also reduces all your costs. If you have 0% admin efficiency, you're effectively paying twice as much for everything.

I've always been curious as to how the state is supposedly making money off the factories. Are we taxing the factory income? Or does the income (or losses) from the factory go straight into the state's coffers? Why isn't it shown on the budget summary we get when we hover over the budget? Does it get factored in as "National stockpile sales"? And if so, why would it be? Shouldn't the profits from the factories go to the capitalists-- unless you have planned economy?

What affects POP promotion rates: The number of Bureaucrats period, or Admin Efficiency? I ask because you'll often have that situation, at least for core provinces, where Admin Efficiency will be at 100.00% long before number of Bureaucrats is at 1.00%

Depends on your tax system; you can either tax the rich class to get the factory's profits, the workers to pick up part of their paychecks, or tarrifs to collect on when the factories import goods. Generally, craftsmen working at factories are worth more than farmers or labourers, so your poor taxes go up when they work in factories, and capitalists are richer than aristocrats. That said, unless you never pass min wage reform, I don't think it's ever profitable to tax rich classes much.

Hey, for those disappointed by EvW I've been working on a Cold War game that could use some testers. It's a bit different than a normal mapgame, much more similar to cybernations/nationstates, but I think most of yall would like it anyways. The premise is you're a third world leader during the Cold War, essentially. It's in its infancy and I'm constantly adding new features, and some critical ones are still missing or sloppy, but I think its ready enough for a slightly wider audience. http://www.bloc.name/bloc/

Then Britain released Canada as a Dominion. And I, as the US, wanted to conquer Canada. Can't declare war on Canada itself, as it's a dominion, and if I declare war on the UK to "free" Canada... well, I'm just at war with the UK, not Canada, so... I have to get through the British navy to do anything. I was so happy about the whole occupy a province for warscore thing specifically because it meant you wouldn't have to get through the British fleet to conquer Canada. Dominion issues mess that up. I just want to conquer Canada without a navy... is that such a crime?

V for Vegas posted:Did someone post in this thread with an explanation of when you want to research input v throughput v output? AFAIK, input techs (mostly in the Commerce tab) are the important ones early on, when RGOs such as Prussian coal are still fairly inefficient and you want to get as much as you can out of what little you can buy, with output techs being more important once your factories are actually largely productive. That said, I think the balance tends to weigh in favor of the output techs in the Industry tab anyway because of the RGO bonuses making them better overall.

enuma elish posted:Military spending will do it but it will take some time to do it - it doesn't directly increase your manpower, it increases the number of soldiers that you have among your pops. So it will take a while to for the number of soldiers to increase to the point where you're going to be able to build additional brigades, but over time it should have a substantial effect. It's not immediate. Another thing is that only pops over 1000 people count towards creatable brigades - so if you have 26,000 soldiers in your country but their pops are all under 1000 people, you won't actually be able to create any brigades whatsoever. Ask me about having 50k Boer soldier population in Transvaal yet being able to create/sustain 0 brigades because my largest individual pop was 900 people. Aside from the fact that that the Boer nations were apparently forgotten in the colonization rework, I am really digging HoD. The new sliders and NFs are awesome.

I really like how it feels like you're actually doing something and having to make decisions though, unlike the old system of just clicking the national focus and praying you finished faster than the other guy. If you only have one possible colony then it's basically a micro heavy version of the original system, but as potential colonies increase, I feel like the new system really starts to shine.
