Paradox did fuck up balance by making Mamluks way too strong compared to Ottomans. Mamluks currently have the best government in the game, best land start other than Ming, and the most opportunities for expansion in multiple directions. This is despite the fact that the Mamluks were one of the most backwards and dysfunctional states in the time period

Well, I fucked up my Zunbil game because I accidentally clicked "convert to attackers' religion" during a Hindu holy war. This also happened in the past during a muslim one, Paradox really needs to use a "are you sure want to X" box for those kind of drastic descisions, at least in ironman where you can't just go back a day in the past.

Only time I saw it happened I had murdered Charlemagne before he conquered Saxony, western Europe broke into a gorillion small states fighting each other while the pagans formed a huge blob trying to fight Byzantium, that managed to keep both them and the muslims in check. Eventually some bishop with 32 martial managed to stabilize northwestern France, at the same time a muslim somehow inherited a county near Italy making the Pope freak out and declare the crusades by 910.

A game with no actual direction where the boss' every whim is put into the game, it's basically layers upon layers of shit. Think of it as an unbalanced MMO in which they buff a class/job leaving the others underpowered only to buff another class a few months later, leaving everybody else underpowered, rinse and repeat; this as well as adding dozens of low-level dungeons with little to no endgame content. I guess it's a shitty example, but that's the only thing I can think of right now.

to much RNG for a strategy.
Battles are literal dice rolls.
Random events as bad as losing 1 stability which usually equates to saving for 2 years of monarch points.
Events that you can prepare for trigger randomly too in a 20+ year span.
A chain of good random events can boost a country by roughly 50 years of development within a month.

Rather than focus on simulationism they tried to make every part as gamey as possible, which ruined what made EU2 and 3 good. It's quite similar to how Civilization 5 ruined what made Civ4 good. This is exemplified in monarch points, how technology works, how budgeting works, how development works, how war exhaustion works, how stability works, how trade works, and so on.
On top of this, Paradox figured out that they could manufacture endless amounts of DLC by adding new intrusive mechanics to be gamed. Every new expansion adds more buttons to press and more modifiers to be acquired. There is invariably no new depth or strategy added because virtually every part of the game has a very clear "right" answer of when to push the button, making the game increasingly tedious and micro heavy over time in exchange for no real benefit.

Not just that. Ships were also much smaller targets back then, and if you are fighting a canon-armed enemy the worst thing to do is to sail straight at them to launch a torpedo because any cannonballs that hit you go through the entire length of your ship fucking shit up. Nevermind the fact that your special torpedoes are going to be expensive as fuck while cannons are used everywhere and can be loaded with other things like buckshot to create a massive shotgun.

no you dumb niggers, before the age of sailing where talking about, there weren't cannons
there was very little known use for gunpowder by any means, so torpedoes like that were no doubt an innovative invention
coming from ancient times ships could even be bigger, large barque like things, slow moving objects, but that could carry weights,
so most fights would be fought melee by boarding another ship,
there were rams, trying to light the ship on fire, and even seas trebuchet

jesus fucking christ on a panzer, go play 4 in the kiddy pool
But since you asked.
Build industry until 1937/8 with all the IC you have and upgrade army/airforce with the IC you gain by building.
Build army after that. Rest for naval bombers and interceptors (12+6).
Build 8 paratroops and gliders.
Rush aircraft carrier tech and build 4CL+4CA+4CL+6/8DD under Raeder/Donitz this is the standard task force so you have the 40' ones in 39'. Rushing is no problem with Germany since you don't have anything to research with your god tier teams.
Take out France with your troops.
Obliterate the british fleets in ports with naval bombers and group them with interc. After you maul them, obliterate the british fleets on the high seas with the single task force. They are usually all over the world due to shitty AI and will come to you piecemeal.
Build lvl 10 ports in more coastal and share the damaged fleet between them. Pre-manufacture some ports in your economy screen.
After the navy is mauled/reduced, set your transports on some port in the english channel. I mean you leave them in your production screen and PLACE them so the brits don't get ideas.
Paradrop some paratroopers into a non beach province, build the port asap.
Haul the rest in. You won't need much since the Brits are always shit at defending.
ASA France is defeated relocate your troops on the Soviet border CAREFULLY. Attack SU in the winter 1939, a couple of weeks after the winter war starts since their whole rotten army will be at the finish border.
Roll them up in the summer of 40' and race for Svedrlovsk with your panzers. Use cavalry+AC to follow them when encircling and destroying.
???
Bitter peace.
But since you're a noob that fucks up the low countries I'd recommend leaving brits for later by building your navy in the meantime so you have 3 task forces of aircraft carriers when you end SU in 1940.
Add you have your variations with attacking through Turkey or Finland. Both are automatic KO's on SU by you since the AI can't handle two fronts. Especially through Turkey with the mountaineers since you cut off the oil from Baku.

>The Arabic and the Persian world under Islam had become highly cultured, and many important works of knowledge from Greek astronomy and Indian astronomy and Persian astronomy were translated into Arabic, used and stored in libraries throughout the area. An important contribution by Islamic astronomers was their emphasis on observational astronomy.[38] This led to the emergence of the first astronomical observatories in the Muslim world by the early 9th century.[39][40] Zij star catalogues were produced at these observatories.
>In the 10th century, Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi (Azophi) carried out observations on the stars and described their positions, magnitudes, brightness, and colour and drawings for each constellation in his Book of Fixed Stars. He also gave the first descriptions and pictures of "A Little Cloud" now known as the Andromeda Galaxy. He mentions it as lying before the mouth of a Big Fish, an Arabic constellation. This "cloud" was apparently commonly known to the Isfahan astronomers, very probably before 905 AD.[41] The first recorded mention of the Large Magellanic Cloud was also given by al-Sufi.[42][43] In 1006, Ali ibn Ridwan observed SN 1006, the brightest supernova in recorded history, and left a detailed description of the temporary star.

It’s a new resource called Command Power and it symbolizes the ability of the government to go in and directly mess with the military - much like Hitler would use his red phone to bypass chain of command or prioritize things. Command power is used for promoting generals, taking certain military related decisions, managing air supply, assigning traits to generals who qualify and using command power abilities to affect divisions. There are also two more features that use them we will cover in future diaries.

Where I live, the cost of internet can range from 50 bucks to 100. ONE book of around 300 pages could easily cost more than 50 euros/dollars depending on if it's paperback or hardcover. I think that paying around 50 bucks a month to be able to download literally any book available to the public is a better deal than having to put away hundreds for a few irl books.

France capitulated after taking Paris (the "harshest possible conditions" are kind of a joke, I got more IC from luxembourg). However the UK is still at war with me. I had assumed there would be some kind of white peace offer from them, do I need to beat Russia or is invading them the only option?

>Also don't rely on A-H to beat ANYTHING, not even Serbia. The scenario gives a massive combat mallus to their units specifically so they've probably got the worst military in the world.
I'm not relying on them to beat anything, more just not helping them. Helping shitty allies rather than killing their enemies is always Germany's downfall. Considering I took out France in 2.5 months I think this should be a cakewalk.
And if you think A-H is bad, you haven't played Ottomans. Holy shit are they fucked. Everything wrong with the Austrians + half the IC, divisions, a quarter of the research potential, and they are fighting over desert where Cavalry gets massive advantages over their shitty outdated infantry.

Some screenshots from my fourth(?) attempt at a Zunbil run. This time I feel like I'm actually getting somewhere, last time I only had like half of the land I have now in the same year.
I had to fight like 8 revolts/wars at the same time as the Mensur guy in the first picture, he's been through a lot of shit. First I try to arrest someone for fabricating a claim on one of my provinces, he rebels aganst me which I expected of course but then at the same time another vassal starts a rebellion for increased council power. Then, 2 muslim realms neighbouring me declare war on me plus 2 hosts, one fights for a claim on Afghanistan and the other wanted to liberate Afghanistan. I get a 100% warscore against the first guy but inside his revolt spawns a buddhist revolt which I first have to defeat before I can end the war with him because they occupy land of his. After that two Pajeets also declare war on me, one of whom has 3x my troops. I also had to deal with everyone constantly trying to kill me including my wife.

Alright, can we put the memes aside for a moment and all agree that, for what it set out to do, HoI4 is a success? It gave us a WWII grandstrat free from all the archaic bullshit of Darkest Hour, and also much easier to get into then HoI3. Can anyone here honestly say they enjoy wasting an hour to fix their OoB every time they start a game of HoI3? Not to mention that, rather than needing to tediously micromanage industry like in other HoI games, HoI4's industry is both streamlined as well as more intuitive than the previous games. Yeah, it's true that HoI4 leads to more "ahistorical" scenarios, but isn't that the point? Why even bother playing the game if the outcome is predetermined form the start? Moreover, from a pure gameplay perspective, giving the player more options, whether they be historical or ahistorical, is a total success. Sure, Mosley ruling Britain never could have happened in reality, but it's fun to have the ability to easily do so in video game form.
Overall, I feel that HoI4 is getting a lot of undeserved hate simply because it isn't a total copy of HoI3 with slightly better graphics. Of COURSE the game is different - HoI3 already exists, there would be no point to making the same game again! HoI4 may be different, but that's by design, not by some unforeseen flaw, and it should be celebrated for the changes it made, not hated on.

Rate my Grossgermaniums. Mod is The Grand Campaign, it's a mash-up of AAR and New World Order, spans from 1914 to 1991.
I managed to win WW1, Japan never joined because I gave them what they demanded, neither did the US because I got Paris in early 1916 and France surrendered. All thanks to brand new CAV+Armored Cars divisions fresh from the industries, Russia followed suit pretty soon, once Russia surrendered, Britain asked for a white peace which I accepted.
I used "acceptall" to get slightly closer to what Kaiserreich's German colonies were, so I got some stuff in Asia from the UK (Singapore, Ceylon and Indochina) this way since I'm not familiar with this mod. I don't know if they have a socialist revolution with events for me to get those colonies. China gave me Macau, Hong Kong and Port Arthur through an event.
Anyway, any tips on what to do? I'm currently just making a huge navy with four carrier battlegroups (5CV, 2CL, 8CA each) at first and also making Marines for the colonies.

Hey, any plans to make a formable/releasable Cascadia that could lay claims to the entire west coast and east against the Rockies?
It'd be fun to play on that side of the world and not be California. There's quite a big history on that area wanting to be independent, from the origins as the Empire of Astoria and the Republic of the Pacific to Oregon Country to Jefferson State to Cascadia.
An Astoria that shows up which could choose independence or integration (After a period of being a substate or something?) would be a more accurate and more interesting version of the Oregon Trail event, which as it is now just hands lands over to the US.
There was serious debate over independence vs integration during that time because they were surrounded by British, American, Mexican, Russians, French, and Injuns. Thomas Jefferson envisioned what he called the Republic of the Pacific which spanned the borders I proposed above.

This has been proposed before, and I said I'd add it to the to-do list. I think it's time to actually do it now since I have a few ideas for this & Hawaii.
But I'm gonna need more insight on what to do.
Perhaps in the 1836 start, Oregon state and Boise Idaho could be part of the Astorian/Oregon state, which would be an independent state under the influence of the USA. After the Oregon treaty in the 1840's, you could be given the choice to either remain independent, become part of the USA or the HBC.
If your choice were to become part of the USA, the country would first become a vassal (since there are no tags/modifiers to become a substate in the code) and by decision, become the State of Jefferson, which would remain a vassal or plain old annexation (AI would have something like 30% chance of forming the vassal State of Jefferson)
If your choice were to become independent, the HBC would grant you (Very reluctantly) the lands between the 42°N and the 54°40'N latitudes (Basically Hongcouver), but you'd be on your own, Britain would hate your guts and the French wouldn't care a bit about your existence. Your only options would be Russia or Mexico, and if you are to ally the USA, you're basically fucked after manifest destiny if you're not under the protection of another GP, as it is with Texas.
The borders you're proposing seem alright, but I'd have to make/edit a shitton of provinces, so for simplicity's sake, I think pic related borders borders would be more fitting since most are already in-game (I'd have to make about ~6 new provinces for the stuff I'm thinking about, which is a lot of provinces IMO), so 4 of these new provinces would be for the proposed Jefferson State, which should happen after the USA annexes that shitton of Mexican clay. I could also add a new irredentist decision to annex Alaska and form Greater Cascadia or whatever and MAYBE I could add a new culture to the area, Cascadian, as to represent the many immigrants which came from mainland USA and Canada, them being Yankees doesn't really fit the whole Cascadian theme. Maybe also a Californian culture for California in order to replace the current Yankees, that's kinda dumb. But for this I'd have to remove some of the stupid, useless black African cultures literally nobody gives a shit about
The other stuff I'm thinking about is a small overhaul for Hawaii, give em a little bit more flavor, 2 more provinces (Maui and Kauai) and the Paniolos, which are Hawaiian Cowboys from California (tradegood changes from fish to cattle in Hawaii Island)
