Slime Bro Helpdesk posted:Ok I'm still missing something. I put my army supplies and soldier pay up to 100% and 75% (anti-military party in power so that's the best I can do) and my soldiers&army score remains at .066, left it at that spending for a year of game time and still at .066. What country are you playing? An army score of .066 sounds really weird, even as a tiny tiny power you should at least be able to get a couple of points unless you are an unciv with only a few irregulars.

Wiz posted:Look one post above the one you just quoted. Well to be honest I was exaggerating on purpose, but apparently not enough. I am looking forward to Stellaris and have no real strong opinions on tiles (what I am really hoping for is that it's an experiment to try out new mechanics so they can be implemented in Victoria 3).

Gamespot has published a preview of Stellaris http://www.gamespot.com/articles/stellaris-is-civilization-in-a-massive-sci-fi-univ/1100-6432516/ Among other things they write that administrative governors that govern sectors of your empire is a feature and that they can try to secede.

Did France get buffed in the Vicky 2 beta patch? They're actually no.1 right now in my game and we're up to the 1910s, something I've pretty much never seen before as the UK, US or Germany often trumps them easily.

And on a related note, I wanted to see who made Republic and happened to note that the guy who founded the company now works with the AI that beat the Go champion. Worlds collide.

SirJohnnyMcDonald posted:After lots of trial and error I've managed to form Super Germany in Vicky 2 by June 10th 1845. Almost as impressed by a fully formed Italy by 1845. How did that happen? For my part I just completed a campaign as the Ottomans where I strove to become a fully modernized, democratic welfare state while keeping all my European and African possessions at the historical peak. Me, Germany and Japan dismantled Russia, France and the UK over the course of the game. I had, among others, Croatia, Hungary, Serbia, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Algeria, Morocco, Persia, Greece and Hail as my sphered friends.  Quite satisfied with my score, but I kinda slacked off on industrialization and just let my capitalist build what they want and the pops promote on their own. But this was partly because I needed to keep my national focuses on soldier promotion the entire game through simply to keep up with my swelling army and keep my hungry neighbors (Russia!) at bay.

I think some of people's issues with Stellaris is either that they are new to Paradox and don't know what to expect, or, like me, going from a maxed out EU4 to a bareboned new IP. It is still a lot of fun (as my 13 hours of playtime can attest to) but there are also many missing pieces that are sorely needed like some simple map modes and a more consistent AI. So it's like Eu4 when it was released: fun and quite addictive with loads of potential, but also loads of stuff that should have been fixed or noticed before it was released.

corn in the bible posted:Soldiers are capped at 5% of a region. Set a national focus for them and also raise their wages to bolster growth. They're not capped, not as far I've seen at least. It's more that 5% soldiers is a good mark to hit if you plan to war for any extended period of time. And I'd say there are several pops you want to go above 3%, craftsmen and clerks, for example. While you obviously don't want 3% capitalists in every state. I usually try to hit 5% soldiers, 2% clergy, get some states with at least 0.5% capitalists, and then use the rest of the time to promote craftsmen and clerks at a 4/1 ratio. Party loyalty can also be good depending on if you're a democracy or not.

I don't get why the Paradox hate seems to have multiplied lately, both in this thread as well in the separate game threads. Yes, the games are, as always, somewhat buggy and unbalanced on release yet quite fun and with lots of potential. We all know that that's how they're going to turn out, so why do people seem to be a lot more angry nowadays? I'm not saying that it's okay, just that it can't be news to anyone that this is how Paradox games are.

mackintosh posted:A lot of people appear to be pissed Stellaris turned out to be a pretty balloon filled with a lot of hot air and not much else. This might coincide with the fact that Stellaris seems to have brought in a lot of new players, as opposed to Paradox veterans who are used to this kind of thing. To be quite honest, I'm ever so slowly getting tired of hand-waving these shortcomings away. HOI4 better deliver. I fully agree, and in the long-run it's bound to affect their brand, especially now that they are becoming a lot more mainstream. My hope was that with the success of City skylines, Stellaris and so on, they'd have the capital to let their games sit for a couple of months longer and fine-tune them and add more content. This far that doesn't seem to be the case, but we'll see.

The air part of HoI4 isn't that complicated. Click on the air base you want to use, press the add air wing button and decide which plane type you want to base there. Wait for them to arrive. If you want to have more planes there, you press the number to the left of the planes and draw the slider to the number you want, that makes it so that any new planes produced will be added to that wing. After that, select the wing and right click the region you want to operate in to deploy them there. Then left click the region and decide the mission(s) you want them to do. If you want to move them to another air base you just select them again and right click the new base. The same goes for making them operate in a new region. It's like 5 clicks to set up everything.

Pharnakes posted:I wonder how much of Stellaris 500k was pre orders? And how many pre orders HOI IV lost from Stellaris fallout. I do think that a part of it - although small perhaps - is that people only bought one of the two and then plan to get the other one further on. I was planning to do exactly that until the Paradox curse sunk its claw in me and I bought them both on release day.

Groogy posted:You should play it in MP, especially with the beta patch where me, podcat and wiz fixed a bunch of issues. It's really great only important thing when setting up the group to play with is that you put the biggest douche in Great Britain. It is vital. Is is stable with the beta patch? I love V2 and have probably put in more hours into it than eu4, but that was before Steam's time, and would love to play it in multi. I've avoided it, though, since I always thought it would desync and stuff.

I agree with the poster that suggested a weighted system. For instance, making the AI prefer taking land contiguous with its mainland and instead setting up puppets and satellites elsewhere.
