how the gently caress do I end this war? it's been going on for two years and it's getting super dull. This is crisis war over Poland that became a Great War, I'm playing as Germany and I keep destroying all the Russians/Spanish/British in battles to run up my score, I've occupied Poland and Russia all the way to St. Petersburg, etc. The problem is that AI Italy was the crisis leader and keeps adding these stupid war goals so I don't know what is happening?  Is there a way for me to edit the save game so I can take over as war leader? LinYutang fucked around with this message at 04:26 on Jan 30, 2018 |

Mouse over your side's war goal icons to see how much ticking war score you're getting. If most/all of them are ticking up, then all you have to do is sit back, hold the lines wherever they currently are, and let your war score tick up.

They're replacing the mission mechanics in Europa with the National Focus mechanics from Hearts of Iron 4 and it's going to be rad as poo poo (OK the similarities are skin-deep at best but it's still cool)

The similarities pretty much begin and end with the branching tree layout. The missions are largely the same as how they currently are in EU4 with the same kinds of rewards. You just automatically accept each mission as they become valid, and you unlock more missions by going down the tree. This allows you to work on completing multiple missions at once while providing a more coherent progression and also getting rid of the RNG factor. It seems really cool, and I'm excited by how people will mod it.

EUIV should be 1453 - 1750, with the game ending at the height of the game's colonial empires. No need to have them pitifully revolt against the late game player. You end in triumph. Victoria should be 1750 - 1901 Hearts of Iron should be 1901-2001 and more about building your society, where you carve out your evil empire (or try to take them down) in the first half of the game and then tip-toe through an alt-history Cold War with the other major powers.

I don't think this really works, because the eras don't really match up to any major shakeups in the world that Paradox likes to start with. For example, the entire point of Victoria is that you play through the Victorian era in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars with the specter of revolution and liberalism challenging the old order of Europe while society is massively changed by new technologies. The 1700's just don't fit that paradigm and trying to make a game that can somehow do: 1. agrarian/artisan societies 2. colonial revolts of the 18th/19th centuries 3. the French Revolution equivalent and Napoleonic Wars 4. constantly looming threat of liberalism/later on communism 5. rapid industrialization and technological change 6. 19th century colonialism, indirect colonialism like spheres of influence, and global capitalism 7. the rise of nationalism 8. geopolitics in the modern age 9. the leadup to or even igniting of a world war 10. demographic changes that drove all these things all at the same time and not be utter garbage and/or take 20 years and a billion dollars to make seems impossible. Ditto on trying to somehow effectively simulate WWI, WWII, and the first half of the Cold War, and the second half of the Cold War all in one package. Each one is a vastly different time period that could easily take up an entire game by themselves, you can't just cram everything in one game and expect it to magically work. And that's just purely mechanical challenges for a hypothethical megacampaign which most people don't do. For example, most people want to play Hearts of Iron to fight the historical WWII, not continue the timeline of their Victoria game, and starting at any point before 1934 completely defeats the point of that.

There should be a Colonial/French Revolutionary era game. 1763/76-1836, perfect to bridge that gap.

March of the Eagles is pretty underappreciated imo. I wish they had supported it more/at all and it had been a little more ambitious.

A smaller-scale HoI4-like (in that that title is the most war-focused Pdox game) that focuses less on industry/production would be a neat concept for Paradox to try out.

Is there a good way to provoke a cycle of revolutions in another country in Vicky 2? I occupied all of continental France for 2 years without seeing a revolt (it's 1900). I peaced out eventually and prevented them from rearming, maybe the lack of troops will make it easier for a revolt to take their capital?

EU4 already plays horribly past 1650, don't see why you'd want to make that even worse. If anything it should start in 1402 and the first event you get is "comet sighted". The game is actually fun early on and the mechanics work.

If you own a third of the world the performance isn't any issue  Unless you meant mechanics wise, in which case I'm inclined to agree that it gets kinda boring late on.

I mean in theory the capability is already there and programmed since all the AI nations can manage war. We can already set navies to automated exploration missions and armies to automated city searching and rebel suppression. It would be really nice to be able to set armies to an automated war mode, modifiable by the same settings as your vassals (e.g. Automated, seige focus, etc) with designated primary and secondary targets.

We see the AI do it, and sometimes really effectively. I would love it if I could win a big battle or simply march into an area that is empty then click a button that would carpet siege the state and all adjacent states that the army is currently in. I dont want it to fight the war for me, I just dont want to have to micromanage occupying every single province in <large country> every single time. And since every war is a hellwar, carpet sieging like that is often necessary.
