Wiz posted:You missed including EU3+'s Aalborg/Lucca provinces, and in the interface folder you had files pointing to Can Omer's title screen (which wasn't included) and a bad link to the minimap that was searching inside a non-existant mod/Can Omer/. They were both turned into a province in Iceland and Greenland, respectively, in the original map mod. I turned the second into the province of Luks, as I thought Prussia was relatively weak with only 2 provinces, and being sandwiched above Poland. Didn't know about the graphics problems though, so thanks. Hefty Leftist fucked around with this message at 07:31 on Jan 3, 2013 |

Couple of province bugs, Volhynia still has a Lithuanian core, and Argyn is an exclave of Qurighar, unless that's intentional. Mordvar also has a Kazani core, though it's not Kazani culture nor is it Sunni. Also, I don't really think I should get any credit, that all should probably go to yourself and CanOmer for making the original map. I didn't do much in the way of work, really.

Adding to the core reports for EU3+, Konkan and Ahmadnagar have cores for Ahmadnagar, though they're not connected as provinces, and Raichur Doab still has a core for Deccan, though I don't know whether that's intentional or not. Namur also still has a core for Liege, and Kursk has a core for Kiev. In a minor addition, Armagnac and Gascony have really similar colours, so maybe that should be changed too.

Dunno whether you're looking for these, Wiz, but here's my current game as England in 1640, using EU3+ 1.04. Really wish Iberia wouldn't end up as such a mess, but the best part is Japan colonizing the Siberian coast. And Brandenburg inherited Crimea.

 Here's an end of game image, as Great Britain. Colonial revolts seem kind of screwy, and I saw no revolutionary events or rebels at all. Aragon also got stuck in a permanent war with it's revolters and couldn't ever peace out, in that image all of it's provinces are completely occupied by various countries. I imagine that's a vanilla issue though.

Colonial rebels were fine popping up, it was the Napoleonic revolutionaries in Europe that never came to fruition at all. They were the most likely rebel to revolt, but they never did anywhere. Weird stuff would also happen like the Christianian colonial revolt event happening, only to have the Canadian revolt event happen a few years after replacing the entire culture of what was Christianian with Canadian. You can see in that map Christiania with a few provinces and Canada with the rest as a result. The Vestland colonial revolt event also happened before any of all the other colonial revolters, but it seemingly did nothing at all to Norway's colonies. If you need any saves from various years, I've got plenty to give out. Hefty Leftist fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Jan 11, 2013 |

It'd be like forcing Lucky Nations on and make playing anything but those nations a far lesser experience. Get Wiz to code the entire CB and peace offer AI, resulting in eternal pretty borders.

I downloaded this demo just so I could have a copy of I started it up, and dear god does it look bad. This is the loading screen from the beginning of the game, which is reminiscent of an early 90s roguelike.  It's a bad thing when the country select screen looks better than the actual game.  Loaded up as France in 1799, and I'm instantly bombarded with a million popups. I have no idea. (On closer inspection, this is the national ideas for EVERY COUNTRY IN THE GAME).  Eurasia. Apparently most of West Africa didn't exist at this point  Americas.  Asia. Apparently Australia isn't discovered yet  It should also be noted that there's an incredible lag whilst moving the camera. It lags for about 2 seconds before actually moving to where you want it to go, except rapidly. So it'll overshoot where you want to look and stop somewhere way off, meaning you've gotta go back in the opposite direction, lagging once again for 2 seconds and overshooting. It's very annoying. Other cool features of 1799 is the inability to field regiments more than 5 thousand large, for ~some reason~. I have no idea what I'm doing or what anything is, and the interface is really, really bad. Also, I'm pretty sure the tutorial is just "WELCOME TO It does actually recognize you're playing past the tutorial date, so it boots you out. FAKEEDIT: Started another game from the tutorial date. It might be hard to see (because look at it holy poo poo), but England has been sitting there and refusing to move their troops at all. It's taken about 5 minutes to get through 3 months, namely because it keeps pausing at every single pop up, and I have no idea how to stop this. Like stated previously in this thread, it runs really, really slowly. If I had bought this for 20 dollars or more I probably would have thrown up at the thought of spending that much on this. Yet it gets worse, when changing your message settings, you have to restart the game for them to take effect.   Hefty Leftist fucked around with this message at 15:24 on Apr 5, 2013 |

It really clear to me why it was cancelled now. It's not that Paradox wouldn't release it because it's buggy. It's that Paradox couldn't physically release it, because it's a total disaster. They would have been a complete laughing stock if they released this game as it is, with Ubik marching around claiming it's in a released state. At least HoI3 was possible to understand, imagine someone completely new to Clausewitz engine games coming into Magna Mundi. It would have been absolutely terrible.

Ray and Shirley posted:Any place that can be colonized ends up looking like a patchwork. States's will colonize, then release a dominion, colonize, then release a dominion, and so on. Example: Instead of colonizing all of "New Zealand" and releasing a unified New Zealand dominion, GB will release its initial NZ colony as a dominion, then colonize the other open areas of New Zealand, then release them as dominions and so on. Consequently, you'll have three little New Zealand dominions where a full New Zealand dominion should exist. What about back in Europe/America? Any wackiness going on there?

So HoD is pretty sweet. However, I feel like there's still two underlying issues with Vic2 that haven't really been changed; the AI and the status quo in nations. The AI is pretty self explanatory with dominions and nonsensical annexations (ie Spanish Hedjaz), hopefully that's fine tuned or whatever. The other issue is really, the lack of progress in the game. The new colonial/crisis systems is a big step in the right direction, but I feel like nations are kind of static, lacking in some of the historical basis that could manipulate events set in motion at the start of the game. Not through determinism, just a bit more of a push to get things in motion. Good example may be the USCA never collapsing, I'd like to be able to enable it or prevent it from happening and see what the AI does about it through each game. Another might be the Egyptian-Ottoman war and the interventions within it, instead it remains static and unchanging, besides Ankara occasionally swapping over. Events like the first might be more interesting with a bit more flavour than anything, events and other things taking advantage of the pop system through militancy and other stuff. The second could probably use the crisis system, but instead on a regional scale. I'd love some sort of CB that instead of acquiring a single state, seeks to acquire every state you've got a core on. The Ottomans could declare war to take back what's theirs, and the Europeans could initiate a crisis to intervene on whatever side. Maybe the crisis system could be extended to include ongoing wars and intervention in them? This sort of CB would also allow the USA to take the entirely of the Mexican cession, instead of one or two states at a time. On the sake of pretty borders, I'd still love to see the acquire core CB only take what's actually your cores, instead of entire states. It really doesn't make sense for a nation to annex an entire state when they've only got a single province in it with a core. Obligatory

So I'm working ( ) on some sort of Greek city state themed Not-Europe map for CK2, and I'm wondering if anybody versed in geography can give me suggestions on landmarks, mountains, swamps, lakes and such things like that.

A Buttery Pastry posted:What's the scale of the map? You call it Greek city state themed, but also Not-Europe map, so I'm not entirely sure whether it's Greece scale or Europe scale. From how your draft looks, I would guess something like Sicily to Western Turkey in terms of scale. Do you have PM's? Would be easier to make suggestions without clogging up the thread with fake geography chat if you do. Also, what do you mean by landmarks here? It's the exact same dimensions as the default map, it's basically just a poorly drawn Mediterranean. With landmarks, I was thinking of important places like Constantinople. The kind of thing I'm going for is something like the Greek city states in Not Greece (center), with a scatter of powerful kingdoms in far away places such as the southern continent (not africa). I'm kind of toying with the idea in my head of a constant 'might is right' subjugation CB for nations, simulating massive empires and subsequent falls. A real rise-and-fall-of empire simulator more than anything, without having any sort of historical basis so you don't have to worry about Turks showing up in Scandinavia. The idea of playing for 500 years and being able to go back and look at every nation and every culture that's ever inhabited your little chunk of land over the years tickles my fancy. Also here's the scale  And a basic culture map/regions. The names are not permanent

The idea is that you're placed into a world that's a bit like Wiz's divided world scenario, but with more kingdoms and in a poorly drawn Mediterranean. Thanks for the advice by the way, I'll try and conjure up something and post it in the (probably distant) future.
