DrProsek posted:Small issue with EUIII+; christian daymios get the decision to become Jerusalem. They can't really do much with it unless they become Shogun and then conquer Judea which I doubt the AI will do but I suppose a crafty play may find a way to make use of it Given the AI and its random tendency towards being awesome (in its own way) in this game, It wouldn't actually surprise me if it happened once in a blue moon.

On the subject of making Victoria 2 more character-driven, if anything, the shortened time period - where, feasibly, most of the characters are alive for most of the duration, makes it as good a test bed as anything for the next in the series when that time comes again.

To be fair, given a reasonable starting date, you could plunge the world into eternal war that never reaches critical nuclear mass. Then stuff like that becomes important. Indeed, the depth of it also ties into "Oh no, the world ended". Cant supply your ships without operational ports afterall.

I believe Azerbaijan's Independence is guaranteed by Mitteleuropa, even if thats not stated explicitly in game. Until you try and invade as Russia, that is. If I recall correctly, you need German assent.

From memory, theres a fair few events that put you on a path to conflict, either with the traditional allies, the soviet union, or both. When you export the revolution at some point, multiple countries get a chance event to switch to a communist government - sometimes, this fails. Other times, it succeeds, but in some cases the Soviet Union gets mastery rather than you. The conflict basically boils down to whether you form your own 4th Internationale or become Stalin's buddy. Manual DoW may be required, but I don't remember doing that.

EU3 actually has a little going on behind the scenes in regards to rebels - Its based on province manpower. I tested this by giving a province 1000 manpower in a save file. The several thousand unit stack it spawned pretty much proved that theory. So, I guess they don't come from anywhere in the strictest sense, but theres a bit of math and sense to it.

 Oh, Africa  .Baronjutter posted:Is there any way to ADD more accepted cultures or are they hard coded to your nation? Like if my nation becomes 50% german will german become an accepted culture like in eu3 or am I stuck with Czech/Slovak forever? Whilst I don't know of any way for cultures to become accepted in game (though a mod may do that) - if it makes legitimate sense, I usually edit my save game and add an accepted culture. If you don't mind doing that, searching for human=yes and then your primary culture, like, say "british" will take you to your culture section - the layout is as such: primary_culture="irish" culture= { "british" "ainu" Basically that would give you primary culture, irish, obviously, with british and, for no apparent reason, say, ainu, as accepted cultures. If you typo a culture it will show ingame as noculture, which lets you know you should go fix it. Hope that helps. Westminster System fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Apr 20, 2013 |

 I fully admit to helping Greece plod along to great power for an iota of a second to form its rightful Roma, aswell as giving Afghanistan its rightful due. Also dismantling Russia because god drat they really love declaring wars over Astrakhan. Monster-Ukraine scares me now. But what the hell Victoria. I swear, every time I looked at europe something new and hilariously ridiculous had happened. Republic of Sweden, Republic of Poland.. Ireland fully occupying the UK and resulting the Kingdom of England. I.. just don't know anymore. I'm gonna go live in Glorious Mega-Manitoba, I guess.

Was there some change to the Alaska decision? Russia offered to sell it to me, though I can see why, or is that a NNM change? I swear V2 just tries to be weird as hell when I play it.

NEED TOILET PAPER posted:How'd you pull off annexing so much of the (former) US? Just holding them back whenever it declared war on you and attacking both the US and CSA during the civil war? Oregon and Idaho ended up in Columbia so that was an easy picking later on. The war with Texas was really annoyingly long but lead to the cessation of Kansas eventually, as the US intervened after I had mostly dealt with Texas, but I didn't want to push my luck. From there it was a case of waiting for the US to declare war and letting them waste troops then demanding what infamy would allow. Reforming the USCA as a puppet provides a fair bit of fodder if the AI bothers to move it. Wyoming ended up in the CSA randomly (its either Wyoming, Montana, or both, from experience so far), so after I intervened for the CSA I dissolved our alliance, took Wyoming and Oklahoma, and resphered the CSA (before it decided it would become a GP). Free states ended up with Colorado, so that was that. VERY lucky. If any decisive military engagement had happened with the USA before the civil war I probably would of lost and rage quit. The Civil war was another matter, by then I couldnt hold back - but luckily I had military parity and two stacks of troops I was willing to use, with a decent composition, that resolved the civil war within 3 months of my intervention. I also got two infamy reducing events which removed the possibility of a containment war. No idea how ridiculous this is going to become, though.

As far as AAR goes, criticism is thin on the ground (unless asked for, and oh boy, is that a mistake). A good hint towards you being terrible is a lack of response, but if you're writing about something people have interest in and there isnt much of it.. then all roads leads to insanity. Either way, I'd be wary of AAR's that are detail or feature heavy for a Paradox game before they go gold. They'd need to start a good few months in advance and who knows what major feature would be raved about in an AAR then scrapped because it couldn't be done right. The Paradox Forums hardly need a valid excuse to go batshit in the first place, let alone giving them actual material.

Most of these are Muslim; the only bastions of Christianity are Sardinia, Aragon (in Mallorca), Scotland (not pictured; that yellow thing is a Sultanate) and Catalunya (Spanish state in the Pyrenees). Don't forget glorious Norway in Orkney who usually thinks fighting Scotland is the best way to survive. And by survive I mean die. And of course cute little Iceland, just chilling up there, randomly ending up colonizing Greenland, cause you know, why not?.

ThePutty posted:Trade zones were also rather boring in EU3, it had no real amazing effect on anything. EU4 actually allows you to shape and dominate trade areas, so there's going to be an actual element of figuring out where to expand and colonize based on how much trade you want to control. There is only one acceptable answer: All of it.

Have they finally gotten someone to make a decent space game of any description? The last few years have been a train wreck as far as they are concerned. In regards to the whole EvW thing, wasn't the point to add Real people from History™ aswell as random nobodies for certain minor parties/fringe political views and only for certain countries?. Not that I think it's a good idea.

So, I finally finished my first game of EU3 ever in all the years I've had it. I used MiscMods because COLONY NAMES! and other features. I decided, finally, to play the scenario with 100% more Cathars. Oh And by Finish I mean it kept freezing in 1772 and the next 28 years weren't going to change much, so I called it a day. My one personal goal was to form as many union type nations as possible and help Natives modernize, and I feel I succeeded in a few there. China is OP in every game, just saying. I then spent the next few hours making pretty borders, and considering none of the Java scenario editor tools wanted to work, that meant changing tags in the text files, yay!  Go Hog Wild Mentions: Byzantium: Good on you. Took Rome, messed with the Middle East, exploded a few times but came out looking good. I had to take territory away from it in my FIXING BORDERS because it was simply too dominant to make playing near it fun. Germany: Germany Took half of Russia. This could not stand. "Time of Troubles" were not kind to it, I'll tell you that. Its Prussian former self and its current German incarnation have spent 200 Years ripping Austria to shreds before Austria decided it would give up and become Hungary. Ireland: Independent most of the game after rebelling from the UK. France and the UK decided to take it apart again, but it managed to recoup most of it's losses whenever France "accidentally" got into wars with Germany or the UK. Norway: Woo Norway! Russia: I thought Russia was done for when Germany was basically half of Russia, but it managed to survive and deserves a medal. Probably made out of Mongols, because it sure didn't like them. Inca: Dominant Native Power. Controls La Plata and Paraguay as Vassals. Had annexed them at one point, but their explosion made them lose most of Brazil, some land to Colombia and ultimately the Colonial nations that they'd annexed split off. Came back from the brink though. Ethiopia: African France. France: Blobzilla strikes again. Did not count on German Blob. Maratha: I managed to get the three indian unions to form. Hindustan got killed by Maratha and Japan. Karnataka got killed by Malaysia. Malaysia got kicked out by Maratha. Random Byzantine and Japanese Holdings remain in Karnataka. Honorable Mentions: Japan: So you can colonize when colonizing means attacking India, go figure. The Maori: Muslim Maori's. This scares me. What have you wrought, Arabia? Its also a republic, because, you know, when you get ridiculous, why not go all the way? Malaysia: Colonized a fair bit and even decided to take half of India. Failed spectacularly but stayed intact. Italy: Yeah, totally not a thing. Naples managed to keep its independence though. Catalunya: Spain exploded spectacularly near the end of the game, 99% of its American holdings went to the USA and Catalunya invaded it in a punitive war, (Spain had 40 Infamy for some reason). Catalunya decided Aragon looked good with their name on it. Australia: I don't even. Lotharingia in control of the former UK colonies, Arab Colonies and some Malaysians just chilling out. Zapotec: Looked to be dominant at once point, but got its face kicked in by the Inca's and converted to their religion. Maya: Aww the cute Maya. Inca Vassal. Jin Shan: Chinese Colony in California. Decided to release them as a vassal in a quasi-tributary fashion the Chinese might of been comfortable with. Held onto the South American Colonies though. The Hansa: The Hansa remain independent. Lubeck for some reason has never been touched. They held nearly all of West Africa at some point (and now control Fez as a vassal, due to their implosion through wars etc) but still retain land in Tunisia. Far cry from owning half the Carribean, Brazilian colonies and all that african land though. They even had South Carolina at one point. All In all its a game i'd of loved to convert, but none of the tools want to work with me, so curse you, fate. Westminster System fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Jun 29, 2013 |
