Super Jay Mann posted:Parties should be what they are in real life (in theory anyway...): a confluence of disparate but otherwise in-agreement interest groups that choose to be represented collectively. Let the parties form organically based on what interest groups want, don't have parties that just exist and so happen to appeal to enough interest groups to get into power. This is my position. Go all in on them or wait and implement it in an expansion with it as the focus alongside other parliamentary poo poo. Doing it half assed just results in the vicky 2 problem of parties being this static unchanging thing that makes no sense based on their "ideology". Obviously the wishlist would be interest groups coming together to form a party to get elected and get in power to get their agenda passed. Maybe they don't all agree but they agree enough on these issues to give ground and further what they really care about. Bonus points if you can have a party based around abolishing/promoting one issue that's spicy enough to get a lot of people invested from disparate interest groups that would die after the issue is abetted - like slavery. More bonus points if you have parties change over time - like how the democrats were the party of the south and rural areas and then the Republicans became that party.

Has there been mention on how war will function? Obviously it's not the focus but having it at least be "not painful" would work for me.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:The only deciding factor for being a GP is "can you enforce your will on other countries" Mexico lost all their prestige from losing to a bunch of yokels in Texas. They needed a lot more painters imo. Also, cultural hegemony is a thing. If Mexico were to be a cultural phenomenon that had influence over the whole of Latin America because of their cultural output, would that not be a great power?

Did you know that if Hungary invited the Habsburgs back the whole rest of the Empire would've peacefully submitted to hungarian domination? Eh, communist is better in the Balkans because if you rush it down and do it effectively you can get the entire Balkans and even parts of turkey as core territory - effectively making you a great power.

I think it'd be pretty easy to make it where becoming recognized requires easing trade restrictions to get access to the world market risking euros wanting to carve up your land earlier and making Reactionaries mad. Do it too fast and Reactionaries overwhelm you and euros see you as a prime target for their flags and treaties. Rather than the very dumb Vicky 2 way of not knowing how to research beyond 1836 tech for a couple decades.Wiz posted:Haiti starts the game with an ongoing crippling debt payment to France (that you can renege on but it gives France claims on you), it's certainly not tutorial island/easy-mode though doing well in spite of France being a giant jerk is very satisfying. That's not a fun fact, same as most facts about Haiti post independence

AnEdgelord posted:Speaking of Haiti I wonder how well the game will represent the US's model of "its not a colony I swear" where a country is nominally independent and allegedly has its own foreign policy but the government and private sector are totally captured by US business interests. Well they plan to let people play as the united states so probably the same way as that.

Randarkman posted:While the pre-war army played some part in providing some experienced officers to both sides in the civil war, both the Union and the Confederacy essentially built their armies from scratch. If that's the case, why not make it so when the civil war fires all soldier pops are demobilized so both sides start with nothing. You can also give the feds a debuff to soldier buildup and mobilization speed to allow the CSA to gather strength faster so it can actually put up a fight

Any kind of disease management would be dlc, likely similar to reapers due for ck2. Which was a neat dlc, though I'm not sure how much you could wring out of that for an empire compared to when you're controlling an actual dude/dudette

Played as Sweden and I built up my country, isolated Denmark diplomatically, then built up my army and navy and made a play to make them a puppet. Diplomatic phase came with every great power turning around and whistling as I mobilized. Denmark surrendered without a shot. Game owns 10/10.

Man the Ottomans are a... thing. I like the law stuff in theory but the intellectuals being in government and hating everything about it so it's easy for them to suddenly be to angry to join the government and... modernize it is, sadly realistic, but sucks to try out. Has anyone tried them and had success with a strategy?

What stopped me was reforming the government took so long, urbanizing took so long, it seemed impossible to build enough barracks for the army, and if I tried tor eclaim Syria every major power got involved and it turned into an hellwar. Make sure you're improving all major powers relationships from the start - especially Austria, UK, and Russia. Declare rivalry on Greece to get more influence. Even just one on one, the war still seems hellwarish based off my experience.

I like the idea of how the game handles monarchies loyalties dying. Where there's a 5 year tick and after it ends the monarchist supporters get a new spirit that essentially support democracy, but only the versions that give them all the power. Maybe that should just be expanded to more issues but instead of replacing it have it be a counter of reduction of their support. That way immediately after a law change, there's still a lot of support for landowners but after a year things should have quited down and after two the counter is either done for smaller law changes or nearly done for bigger ones. Have this be influenced by positive or negative burecracy so if you have surplus 2 year timer becomes like 18 months, and negative bureaucracy makes it a 30 month timer.

Ithle01 posted:Later on you can annex the vassals and build up their rubber and oil. The AI is pretty reluctant to get involved in annexation plays unless you really pissed someone off. This doesn't really apply if you're in specific zones the AI wants. As Sokoto, France and Britain jumped on native uprising plays, annexation plays, and vassalization plays I started or had started against me. It was always day 1 of the negotiation phase too. I had to wait a certain amount of time from the start of the game or Denmark would also try to throw their weight at me.
