Reminder
>CK2 is a game about managing your dynasty. If you don't do this, you can lose the game by dying twice really quick and causing all your shit to be given away to other people. If you manage it well, you can inherit lands from all over the world and steamroll.
>EU4 has the best and most comprehensive mechanics of all the modern Paradox GSG, but there is nothing to fucking do but blob.
>Stellaris has no preset world to fuck around in and word is they are continuing to dumb down the game because their AI is shit. All you do is play the same way each game regardless of your choices, and your only way to 'win' is by owning lots of land, which 99% of the time means conquering people
>HoI4 makes you choose Communist, Fascist or Democratic, and fight the other two. You can literally do this in the first year of almost any nation. AI is shit. Bland gameplay. There's also the option to sit back and watch, but instead of calling it 'observe', they called it 'non-intervention'.
That Warhammer mod for CK2 is tight tho.

The timeframe is really short, elections are unintuitive and the economy,while more impressive than what we have in other games, still leaves a lot tbe desired, like the ability to hoard resources and forbidding others from having them, instead you are forced to give certain goods to the world market. Assimilation is also silly.

A hotfix for Anon's HFM Edits, this one implements some stuff I forgot to add in the last update (mainly concerning Montenegro), also adds the completely useless lake Skadar in the Albanian-Montenegrin border.
Not compatible with pre-existing saves.

Alright, I forgot that some of the older games were less jewey like Victoria 2, my bad. Honestly, I wouldn't mind paying for CK2 if they had released a functional game with all the mechanics and portraits in it from the start. The only justifiable DLC for this type of game would be if a huge amount of new land was added like they did with India.
At this moment Paradox isn't really a company and more like a huge crowdfunding project.

>>13819186
>>13819260
This mechanic has always pissed me off. It is historically inaccurate and one of the principal causes of hideous enclaves. They should have worked out a mechanic where you could have certain fiefs only as vassal of another ruler.
0c99b6 No.13819871
>>13819554
Cilicia exists, yes, but I believe that's only because there's still a strong Armenian presence in the area, as they lived there until the 20th century when they were genocided by the t*rks. Hell I think the only place to have an actual successful Armenian resistance against the roaches was in Cilicia, the resistance of Musa Ler. So anyway the cores are justified, they might seem a bit far fetched, but I believe that was the intention of the mod's author.
Now about the Crusader states, I think that's stretching it too far; there's no crusader presence by the time the game takes place. I'm sorry but I'm won't add those. I believe the whole Levant is a colonizable area, so you gotta make do with that.

Yeah I made Assyrians Syriac instead of Catholic, while some of them are nominally Catholic, their rites are purely Syriac.
Also I made a Coptic Metropolitanate in Egypt as to represent the Coptic populace living there; previously they had no cores, hell they didn't even have a culture of their own, as they were simply Coptic-practicing Egyptian Arabs, that ain't right.

I want to like it but it feels like I completely missed the bandwagon whenever I try to play it now with all DLC. I'm a decent EUIII player but I can't for the life of me figure out all the shit they dumped into EUIV.
Like, the last time I tried it the good old "make bigger deathstack and ram it into the AI" approach didn't work anymore. Not that the combat became any better, it just turned out you needed to slowly feed your men into the battle instead.

It was somewhat enjoyable before the constitutions but getting anywhere depended solely on what tech group you were so if you weren't either western or eastern you were fucked. The whole "constant uprisings until you westernised" thing was also kind of bullshit, Japan for example did have that one samurai uprising when the Meji era started but it never led to a nationwide civil war in which millions on both sides had to die. There's also the Ottoman/muslim shilling done by Paradox that has gone way too far, if the turkshits had been that OP in real life they would have conquered the entirety of Europe in a few decades.

It works the same as the colony organizer decisions, just for Christian GPs. It doesn't replace any tags just adds the new ones. Right now only the Papal States/Papal Italy AI will use it, but I guess Russia and some other countries like Byzantium make sense too.

Hotfix for this version, it rebalances the decisions to form Gran Colombia, you now require (aside from Nationalism and Imperialism) the Manifest Destiny(to claim it by the sword) and National Fraternity (to unite the 3 conquered countries) inventions.
Thought it was too easy just to sit around and wait till you became a secondary/great power (Yeah I lowered the requirement to secondary power, thought it was bullshit you had to be a great power just so you could unite those 3 countries into Gran Colombia)
Likewise I also rebalanced some of the new custom Gran Colombian decisions to lay claims over Bolivia and Peru, Haiti and Costa Rica; they now require the Expansionism invention to be unlocked.
This hotfix IS compatible with pre-existing saves

Been thinking about enabling Irregulars (military unit) for certain cultures (Balkan folks, Colonials [aka Americans, both N. and S, Straya, Boer, so on and so forth], Black African Diasporas and Native Americans), also reducing their supply consumption to 0.08 from 0.1, they're pretty cheap but shitty. HPM/HFM locks Irregulars from being used by civilized nations, but uncivs and primitives can use them alright.

Iirc, after a successful siege, armies deployed either Grenadiers or Irregulars to storm fortresses, so the recon and support stats do make a bit of sense.

Here's the new ability values, they're basically an inferior Engineer (without the cool support bonuses from army tech) with a recon inferior to Cavalry.

I think it's better if I just left them untouched. Adding a requirement for small arms would impose some unbalanced restrictions on primitives/uncivs as they aren't really able to efficiently buy shit off the world market, and those bonuses to recon and support could be a bit OP in the beginning of the game. I mean it's 0.25 support; engies get 0.5+25%x3 from some techs and no recon, also they have ~7 def and about the same attack as irregulars.

so I'm currently playing as king of bohemia under hre and I was wondering. When I eventually get some vassal dukes due to inheritance, let's say franconia for example, would duke of franconia be elector in the hre while at same time my vassal? or would he have to be direct vassal of the emperor?
You know, speaking of franconia, pretty weird thing happened that I have never seen happen before. When my first ruler was still a duke and was barely few tyears into game, the emperor granted the duchy of franconia and all counties part of it to my first rulers son. I have never seen ai be so generous. Also, I decided to try that marriage game in this bohemia run and so far everything has gone more or less nicely. My dynasty will control several duchies after some rulers die. Only thing that somewhat concerns me is that my current rulers nephew and his wife duchess of bavaria haven't made babies yet, tho' they're not that old so there's still time. But I want my dynasty to get that duchess' land becvause she not only controls bavaria, she also has duchy of carinthia, thanks to my previous ruler helping her to press her claim.

I've played a successful game of HoI3 but I still don't understand the supply system.
Is there any way to change the supply depot location? I'd rather it be in Shanghai, closer to my troops. Why are some provinces getting supplied and others not? I'd slowed down my offensive because the wiki explains it takes days to transfer supplies. Why can't I deliver supplies to Shanghai because it's not a supply depot? Figure I'd use the only transport plane I havebut I can't tell how effective it is and the plane itself isn't getting enough supplies. Is it worth building infrastructure? Shit takes forver to build.
291e03 No.13837160
>>13837106
>Is there any way to change the supply depot location?
I have no experience in HoI 3 becouse I never could stand to play it due to the downgrade but in HoI 2 the depo is located and cemented where your troops first invaded/touched ground or had it from the start of the game (The Manchuria area).
So in HoI 2 f.e. if you amphibiously landed a new party in the south, a depo would be made and the supply wagons switched to it when the fronts were linked as it was the closer one. Or just one province under enemy control right besides Shanghai in your example.
It's probably designed to put the strain of supplying the troops on the AI so they bog down as they did IRL.
>Is it worth building infrastructure?
Depo jumping, garrisoning to combat partisans is TC even in HoI 3? and port upgrading are better for the quick war you're looking for. You can pre-fabricate the latter still thinking in HoI 2 mechanics
BUT you can try to build up a corridor of infrastructure manned by garrisons. Similar to the transsiberian railway. You don't need many roads to lead to the front line.
I never tried it though since no AI can take two fronts and usually succumbs in 1 year.
I remember looking for this same solution due to Normandy remaining the main depo in my first USA game even after liberating port cities in the Netherlands. You have to resort to these gamey tactics to circumvent the AI restrain that the designers came up with.

Semien starts with a relatively well developed army if I recall correctly and you get jew money, so just conquer your immediate neighbors piece by piece.

Attempting to do another Zunbil game, I've never actually gotten anywhere whenever I try to play as Zunbil but this time I've come farther than I normally would have. It seems that the key to having a good start is revoking all of your vassals' titles to increase income and soldiers.

Man Im on a fucking roll with the White Hun remnants in India. Not so much from a powergaming perspective but from a roleplaying one. Every character so far has been memorable and their upbringing informed their decisions - Even to the point where it became the mechanically sound thing again.
>Mihiracula "the Wise": A well educated and diligent man. He started out defending his small cultural enclave against the other regional dukes. Became a scholar and a monk later in life after returning from a diplomatic mission to China. Sadly his last years saw him descend into a drunken stupor, eventually causing stomach cancer.
>Bahudhiva "the Lion": Took the tthrone as a young man. A consumate warrior who turned his father's defensive actions into successful conquests, eventually forming his own "Raj" and securing a future for the Hunnic people in India. Something he encountered during a pilgrimage in his middle years caused something to… snap, however. As he grew older, he became obsessed with the darker aspects of the Indian religions and his own unhinged research into mystical ways to prolong one's life. Despite this, he instigated a massive construction program in his realm and kept his sinful behavior hidden from the public.
>Maharaja Kharusa: While the general population of the Raj did not notice the depraved activities of Bahudhiva, his family members did. They were the ones who had to endure the bizarre and often dangerous experiments, the human sacrifices and insane episodes. Kharusa was never seriously threatened by his father but developed a strong dislike for him regardless. He swore in his heart to undo as much of the damage his father did to both the country as well as Hindu faith. Consequently he strove to stabilize his ethnically and religiously diverse realm. Being the complete opposite of his father and having a strained relationship with Hinduism, he converted to Buddhism in order to "cleanse" his family of the taint his father had left. He also took relations with China again and continued the more positive aspects of his father's research and construction efforts.

The best trick to screw the abbasids is to DoW kalat immediately. Occupy it before they do and then keep the war running forever, it will screw their relations with vassals (raised levies) and cause a civil war.

>The real problem is that you need to blob all the way to Iraq in order to reform.
You already own one holy site from the start, a second one is in a weak Buddhist realm north of you (I have that one as well) and then there is Multan which can easily be obtained if you don't let any of the Hindus blob (working on that). Since you only need 3 holy sites and can use holy wars for single provinces I can just constantly declare holy wars on weaker realms until my moral authority is 50. I first need to get Multan though.

>lower taxes
Promotes pops quicker, increases consumption for consumer goods, excess money gets stored into banks which is basically your rainy day fund in case of plebs while capitalists use it for investing into shit so you don't have to, people are happier since their demands are fulfilled(lower militancy) which means no gnommies
This is good when you've got the industrial economy going and can survive without governmental intervention.
First the taxes are lowered middle class(pop promotion into clergy and bureaucrats), then capitalists when there's enough of them (early investing) and then lower classes in the end when gnommies and the rest of the revolutionary filth comes.
>lower tariffs
Basically no downsides since it prevents the money from leaving your country. Forces people to look for product within the country, increasing domestic consumption and money circulation.

Alberta I could do.

No shit Sherlock, every new culture, especially religion slows down the game by a LOT, and HPM/HFM then you went full retard with those.

Yeah I should probably start doing a bit of cleaning on my mod now that I've achieved what I wanted. Do new religions really slow down the game?

Actually it pretty much is by the 1880's, by that time it was more probable for Brittany and Normandy to gain independence.

Mamluks are fucking ridiculous. +2 admin to all rulers on top of the Ottoman ability to choose between multiple rulers? On top of their development? Muslim cock must taste amazing. I was basically ottomans + everything up to the Persian border and brought both Timurids and France into a war with them, they were throwing 80k stacks at me WHILE occupying Paris at the same time.
1.23's professionalism is insanely exploitable though. Once you get half price generals you start trading 125 mil mana for 5 generals and 2 years of manpower. Played a game as Karaman to form Rum, literally infinite manpower without using mercs and every general I used had at least 2 siege pips (and 140% siege ability). Just spam the fuck out of this button when you run low.

Yeah, and cultures too. Thats why minor cultures exist, but HPM fucked it up by replacing African minors with dozens of nigger cultures, and adding a Druze religion for 30k pops for no reason. Thats why I can't take that mod seriously.

Everyone always says this, but in my experience it's an easy German victory in nearly every game. The French usually start the war with a slight edge in divisions but no manpower to reinforce them, so they run out of steam almost instantly and get pushed back. You need a perfect storm of AI choices for them to be able to win.

Hey, ive been playtesting a bit as VNZ and seen some things.
Brazil is now ignoring rio grande do sur and that btiny country above it completely.
Argentina never unifies.
The grant land to soldiers events never shows up again if you ignore it the first time (the champagne option).
Nothing happens if you enforce the extr taxes to the jews in coro, in fact, there are no jew pops in coro.
The colonia tovar event works but no german pops show up in caracas.
Also, i found out what is up with the south german soldier pops in greece, turns out that after its independence, the UK financed a mercenary army that helped the greeks after the war.

That's the AI's retarded choice, for some reason they're also ignoring it in my game. I kinda don't wanna railroad too much, but I'm gonna have to make them go to war through an event. Hell they even got cores and all yet they do nothing about it.
>Argentina never unifies.
What year is it? It usually happens later in the 1870-80's, I've seen it happen a few times. Besides, I didn't really modify anything in Argentina other than a few Gaucho pops in the northeast.
>The grant land to soldiers events never shows up again if you ignore it the first time (the champagne option).
Gonna have to fix that.
>Nothing happens if you enforce the extr taxes to the jews in coro, in fact, there are no jew pops in coro.
Must've assimilated, it was a very marginal population of ~300 jews (like a 160 irl), I don't wanna raise it, but I'm gonna have to.
>The colonia tovar event works but no german pops show up in caracas.
The move_pop tag is a bit fucky, sometimes it doesn't even move pops from one province to another, really there's no alternative I could use.
>Also, i found out what is up with the south german soldier pops in greece, turns out that after its independence, the UK financed a mercenary army that helped the greeks after the war.
That's cool, the Anglos doing something good for once.
