Literally pic related are their proposed flags, either of these would work since they are 'official' so to speak. A Syriac Orthodox 'Syria' would simply be called Assyria (for the Assyrian ethno-religious group; the very same Assyrians of bronze age.) They're all pretty much Christian, and whoever adopts islam is kicked out of their tightly-knit communities.
If you want a cross, the ones in >>13734855 work just fine. Please note that the one on the right (the cross with the snakes) is a patriarch's scepter.
Also there's like 3 or 4 Syriac Christian denominations due to several different schisms which happened when they had some sudden contact with Catholics, I think the western Syriacs are subordinates of the pope, but the eastern ones are not; also I believe all use the same symbols. OR also you could use something like pics 3 & 4 which come from ancient manuscripts.

I think it's simply known as 'Syriac Cross', I don't think Syriacs have defined, definitive 'cross' (Unlike more isolated communities like the Syriacs of India in Tamil Nandu and Sri Lanka), rather each community's got its own version. Both pics I posted are posters based on an ancient manuscript, these posters are mostly handed over in Syriac communities in Syria, Iraq and turdkey.
You could also look at the crosses in their monasteries for even more examples of this, like the Mor Hananyo and the Mor Gabriel Monasteries in roachland.

I have no idea what name could you use. Syrians are different from Assyrians (Syrians are Arabs, Assyrians are Aramaic/Chaldean) so I suppose both tags existing is alright.
Seriously you could just simply leave them as Syria, I don't know enough about them to assure you what alternate names could you use (since there ARE Christian Syrians)

Historically fun, challenging fun or easy mindless fun?
For the first two I'd go for muslims personally, they will constantly fuck you over with holy wars if you win too much wars agains them and most of them are OP blobs (Ummayads, Sammanids, Abbasids, Saffarids etc.) with 3 times your troops. From a historical perspective it's also fun because islam destroyed a lot of local cultures and religions (like coptic Christianity, Zoroastranism, local pagan religions) in the ME and turned it into one big mongrelized Arab blob so you're giving them the justice that they sadly didn't get during the middle-ages.
From a "lol I'm so OP and literally no one can stop me" perspective I'd go for either a christian realm in the northern part of Europe because pagans all have very small armies and unreformed and can't really do shit or a viking in the Old Gods start, specifically that Jorvik guy in the UK.

Couple of questions about Vicky:
1) Can I prestige-spam my way into GP? I have never played a V2 game in my life, but I was considering getting it after reading about the mod, and I couldn't help but notice, while scrolling through the rules, that there seems to be very obvious ways to cheese stuff. More specifically, my plan was something like this: conquer smaller neighboring countries (i.e. starting as Papal States or Two Sicilies, going after Lucca etc.), conveniently releasing them to gain prestige and just keeping it up and releasing minor states by intervening against middle-sized nations until I can GP and spread influence to soon-to-be insta-annexed countries.
2) Is the Multiplayer any good? I feel this game could get to a much more complex Diplomacy (board game where you play WWI nations against each other like a fiddle or get played yourself by your friends) vibe, especially if either some days-requirements are shortened or the end date is prolonged, and surely a much better experience than my old godawful EUIII blobbing contests experiences.
3) Can you ally with a nation that is currently at war with someone else and immediately help them win said war or will you have to wait for the hostilities to cease?

1) Yes. What mod? Don't go with PDM/HPM if you haven't played vicky yet, they change way too much and not always in a good way.
2) The AI sucks, MP is the way to play if you can find people who aren't memers or blobbers
3) Yes if they call you in, or you can join if you have enough influence there.
I don't want to add anything for them, its just tag changing. The mod is BAI, read the moddb page I guess.

1) was thinking of Vanilla for a couple playthroughs and then moving on if I find it to my likings
2) I wonder if the game isn't too hard to mod in more meaningful ways, like in the inner workings of the game? Gotta go check on some old notes.
3) Awesome, thanks.
>>13740742
I just started scratching my head in confusion, it looks like a very hard to miss oversight that you could just keep on releasing newly conquered land. At least with the industries it sort of makes sense, since they're trying to measure your overall production and the more industrialized the nation the higher in the international ladder, but prestige seems such a retarded way to get there.

I'm not really sure what happened to Ireland here. It started united, had the British Union (the republic in the Isles) attack them while the British Empire (the Brits in Canada and Australia) helped Ireland, and at some point had the Empire attack them as well. So the north is under the Union and one western province was taken by the Empire with neither puppetting or annexing the nation.

The way war dynamism works is that there are two modifiers; a timer and the trigger, the timer will go away after like a year or two and then the event will fire at some point. However events don't really have a set time to happen so while it should fire in a couple months it's not impossible for it to go for years without firing.

Which church to focus on would depend on the time in which the anon would want the game to be. There are currently three "Assyrian" churches, the Church of The East, The Ancient Church of The East, and the Chaldean Catholic Church (an Eastern Catholic church with a patriarch in communion with Rome, just like the Melkites, Ruthenians, Maronites, ect.). While the Ancient Church of The East is actually a modern splinter group from the 60s that left the CoTE over a change in calendars, the real choice would be between the Chaldean Catholic Church and the CoTE.
The CoTE is what would be considered the old Nestorian church from ancient times, but if anon wanted to make a mod for something like Vicky 2 or a slightly later bookmark for Eu3/4, he'd want to use the Chaldean Catholic Church instead, because after its formation in the 1500s it quickly became the largest of the Assyrian churches and most Assyrians are now part of it. The CoTE at this moment, for low pop and ISIS reasons, only sits at like 150k people while the Chaldeans have over half a million.

Don't wanna incur in blogposting, but I once met a Maronite guy who fled Lebanon for a better life, he referred to the kikes as a 'Necessary evil' and the 'Enemies of my enemies', so I suppose there oughtta be more people like him.
It's all a very complex situation tbh, on one side you have the iran-backed hezbollah and other stupid kike-backed insurgents, the Druze and whatnot, and on the other side you get the poor Christians who simply want a quiet life and the kike psyops/co-ops working as slimy double agents, of course people would prefer to associate with the enemies of their enemies, even though by doing so they're getting played by the kikes. As I've said before, really complex situation and it's all the kike's and muslim's fault, kikes for being irredentist/subversive rats and the muslims for being backwards barbarians.

The author doesn't want his stuff used in conjunction with HFM, which is a shame. I could do it, but I'd be an ass if I did so without the author's consent. Ain't nothing I can do about it but I'll be a s'well guy and tell you that I actually tested the mod and it SHOULD be compatible, the only thing it overrides is irredentism.txt located in the decisions folder, making both files compatible shouldn't be too hard even if you're not experienced, as it's only a matter of copypasta.
>Are these updates save compatible?
No, most of the time they aren't. I should probably announce when they are.
Alright let's see, you gain 50 infamy for genociding minorities, which is dumb. I mean 50 infamy? What the fuck man. Shit should be like 30 TOPS, maybe 27,5.
Also there's this random list:
random_list = {
25 = { reduce_pop = 0.7 }
25 = { reduce_pop = 0.6 }
25 = { reduce_pop = 0.5 }
25 = { reduce_pop = 0.4 }
}
Which is bullshit as well, 0.7 means 30%, now, I'm gonna change this to:
random_list = {
25 = { reduce_pop = 0.5 }
25 = { reduce_pop = 0.4 }
25 = { reduce_pop = 0.3 }
25 = { reduce_pop = 0.2 }
}
So in the end it's 27,5 infamy for removing your turks, -50% turks will be the lowest, -80% the highest, all 25% chance just so it's more random and fun.

That event fires when you have a dictatorship and really high militancy. It's also very rare, and for the most part broken because it uses the regular Conquest CB which just vanishes for most countries due to more than one state.

Does this seem too silly? It's the Braila port in Wallachia. The ottoshits ceded it during the Akkerman convention of 1826 during the Russo-turkshit war. I know Wallachia's always giving the impression of being a landlocked country, but that wasn't the case; the Danube river is actually navigable up to Braila (by big ships like those container carriers) and then to fucking Bavaria in smaller Barges. Also the roaches always had a boner for Danube ports and I think Braila was one of the first ports they captured back in the 1400~1500's.
So, should I add this to Anon's HFM edits?
Also I guess a new update's coming soon after deciding weather or not should Braila be an actual port like irl. This update's gonna include a Cossack culture, several new hosts (Don, Azov, Black Sea, Terek, Orenbug and Yaik) and I think I'm gonna add a decision to unify all hosts into one bigass Hetmanate because 'why not?'

I could, but the problem is Braila has always been a big and important county in Romania. I thought about making it a small-sized concession-like province, but the province itself covers a sizable area of Muntenia and there's nothing else I could fill in the void with. There's Ialomitsa, but that's kinda a county of its own that's (in-game) been fused with Calarashi. My hands are tied.

Why are you playing that mod? You spend 80% of your time looking at the technology page trying to resolve dependencies required to research something. And by the time that dependency is done, you forgot the entire reason why you researched it. Also aligning to factions do nothing and they force you to choose like 4 land unit types to research. So if you choose artillery and some other shit, they won't let you research anti-tanks mixed support tech and whatever else you didn't choose. Also it's so fucking stupid, all of these interruptions to my game. And they will PENALIZE you for ignoring their daily popups. It's so fucking stupid, what they did to the mod.

(Start as Denmark, end vassal status S-H, war them for Schleswig, then release and play as Schleswig. You need to do this so Denmark can't just restore order on you if you were released straight from S-H.)
Then you can war Denmark with Swedish help for Jylland, then annex Denmark, then war Sweden / form Scandinavia / whatever, start warring Germany for all the North German stuff.

Quick aside before the point: I fucking hate it that you can’t take a capital state until the very end. That’s an utter fucking bullshit mechanic and not at all historic or rational.
1. You can have a nation with zero states. This mostly comes from releasing nations like that, but it’s possible.
2. Take the NWO mod; it’s broken now such that when Britain releases India, all of its states are still colonies and it is released as an uncivilized nation. It has no technologies, can’t build naval bases, apparently HAS no naval bases when it is released, and as such can’t convert any of its colonies to proper states because it has no colonial power. As such, it’s always carved up by its surrounding countries instantly, since the war score for a colony is less than half of that for a state. Seriously bugged.

One of the things I noticed while playing HFM is that there are unique pictures for certain major provinces (like London or Paris), and I think that there could be many more. The biggest problem is that for numerous provinces, the picture does/would not make sense at the start of the game. The Suez province shouldn't have a picture of the canal until it is finished, Pretoria should have a picture, but only once the Boers come along, and so on.
What I want to know is whether it is possible to change the picture of a province in-game.
On a semi-related note, I just remembered that the British Raj had a summer capital in the town of Simla, because it was too damn hot to run a country in the summer in India if you weren't in the Himalayas. I think that it would be a nice bit of immersion to include a series of events to rotate the capital between Delhi and Simla, based on seasons.
The way I think it could work is sometime after the acquisition of Delhi, there would be an event explaining it, and asking the player if they wanted to go through with the cycle, maybe making some sort of modifier, so that the people who do the cycle get some payback for having to deal with two events every year.

>>13785606
>What I want to know is whether it is possible to change the picture of a province in-game.
Of course, you make the picture with GIMP, PS, or Paint.net and put it in the gfx\interface folder.
Then, you add the new province-specific terrain by editing map\terrain.txt
THEN you tell the game to use those two (picture and new province-specific terrain) together by adding it to interface\province_interface.gfx
After this, all you have to do is localization (telling the game new_province_pic means something like Pretoria or Grassland Hills)
Sadly you can't make those pics change after a set amount of time, it really does bother me that Suez has the canal already and Austin, tx has a fucking electric trolleybus.
As for Simla-Dehli, I think you're underestimating the annoyance that is a yearly event changing your capital. Seriously anon, it's very, VERY annoying.
I like the idea, but a yearly event could be too much for a lot of people.
