There is literally nothing wrong with public healthcare.The current system is broken and everyone knows it, even the Republicans can't think of a plan to fix it because "just like deregulate it lmoa" is where we already were years ago and people were complaining then. Mark my words, if those incompetent shits actually manage to repeal Obamacare an even more socialist law will just be passed later after everyone realizes how horrible it is.

You mean you are going to use console cheats in order to fund rebels here and there, and you'll do this for an entire game?
>>174858286
you don't need to cheat to have 100k dosh. That's not even that much.
>>174858286
No? EU4 has a legitimate fund rebel feature. I'm going to take economy ideas to develop my country, then take espionage to fund my goals internationally.
Example:
>France, a big power that threatens me is at war with Bavaria, a small neighbour who supports me
>give Bavaria 10k to rek France with mercs
>Prussia is fighting Austria
>fund the underdog to weaken both of them
It will be like EvW except in the age of discovery.
God has seen fit to reward the Just sword.
>>174858451
>>174858490
If you're going to be a OPM the whole game, then I don''t see how you could get that much dosh. Even with 100 development you won't earn enough.

>>174859289
I just can't be interested in yet another doos bult game
>>174859246
It increases it by 50%. But it's a multiplicative bonus, not additive. So it takes the initial 10% boost and multiples that by 1.5, giving you a whopping 15% boost to rebel uprising chance... Yeah, it's total garbage. And that's the finisher.
>>174859396

>>174859578
I mean, it could be "useful" in that you can slightly annoy a country that already has high revolt risk due to war exhaustion and shit, but it's not worth taking a whole idea group over. I guess if you want to play a comfy OPM game then you don't have much else to do though, right?
Oh, and I guess you can also support multiple types of rebels at once, can't you?
>>174858812
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megali_Idea
>>174859694
You caan also do that one meme that gives them increase revolt risk, I forget what it's called, something like scupper peasantry that gives them +2 national revolt risk, so I think it'd be viable to do that and then fund rebels.

While I have swung around to EVERY SINGLE TIME, in this case it wasn't international finance. The simple fact is that the Hausa and other northern Nigerians (Muslim) hated the Igbo and other southerners (Christian and animist) and were really happy to see them go, initially. Igbos had always been the scapegoat for problems, and even when they weren't involved in events like the coup, they got blamed anyways.
They 180d when someone explained to them that all the oil was in the south. Then, basically, Nigerian command said they would literally kill all southerners, so the southerns had no choice but to rebel. It was a war of annihilation. It didn't help that this was in the era when Britain was in supreme prep the bull mode when it came to policy coming from the Foreign Office. I believe it was what made the legendary war correspondent Frederick Forsyth quit the BBC, not only because the BBC didn't want to report on it, but when they did, praised the Nigerians to hell and back, and repeated every single Nigerian lie ad naseum.
Katanga was more complicated, but it was in a sense, a case of actual competent people and good hearted people making a deal with the devil, to fight a greater evil. They lost in the end, but Katanga's story isn't over.
That said, there is an African mentality in a lot of parts, where essentially it comes down to "what's mine is mine, and what's yours is also mine". And Imperial Federation just wouldn't have worked. It was too late.

Enforce Peace is annoying but there's ways around it. It's mostly designed from the point of view of a player King managing AI dukes, not the other way around.
One way to completely avoid it, use an Independence faction and get it strong enough that your liege gives in rather than fight. 140% should do it.

sure thing, white boy
I have a 40+ year plan to triple my holdings and I'd like some opinions.
My holdings are in red; desired holdings are in blue.
For context the current queen of Lombardy is 3 years old, unmarried, and has no heirs. She is willing to accept a normal marriage proposal to my eldest son (10 years old). What I'm thinking is that if I can hold out just a little longer I can change my succession laws from Seniority to Primogeniture. I only need 100 more cultural tech points to get to legalism 3 for late feudal administration.
Here are my concerns, however: I'm a 50 year old ruler which means I could literally die at any moment from old age. If I'm going to make this plan work I need to both stay alive until I can implement Primogeniture succession and get my son as close as possible to the queen so that they can have children when she comes of age. I also need to form an alliance with the queen so that I can protect her in the case of a revolt or invasion.
By some fortunate accident of succession laws I managed to get Neapolis as one of my vassals. I'm thinking that if I can get Neapolis under my direct control ASAP then if needed I can switch my capital to Neapolis and throw 10,000 mercenaries in front of any forces attempting to invade Lombardy. This will also allow my son to be close enough to the queen to start producing children when she comes of age.
Do you think my plan will work or is it doomed to fail?

I don't think I've ever seen an AI break a marriage proposal. Do you really believe the queen would do that? We have a military of 5,500 units and we're the richest nation in the world due to The Silk Road trade routes. My house also has 45 more prestige than hers.

With those borders, you may as well change name to New Roman Empire.
Newfag trapfag here, I stumbled upon the concept of grand strategy games recently and got EU3:DW since it was the best combination of easy to find and download, relatively low learning curve (according to a 5 minute google search), and most importantly that I could actually run on my toaster of a laptop since I apparently can't run any incarnation of EU4. Since I've picked it up, I've played a few saves as the teutonic order, minamoto, the aztecs, brandenburg, and sweden, each lasting for around 100 years give or take. Currently on frankfurt, trying to see how far I can take them just by blitzing towards tech with an emphasis on being small and economic and avoiding other people's wars. Maybe when I have 10+ tech levels over absolutely everyone else I'll just steamroll them so that even if the emperor bitches about it, he can't stop me. Haven't decided yet.
The thing is, I haven't slept well in like 5-6 weeks. I used to get like 10 hours a night, now I wake up, open my laptop and load my save again, play for around 15-20 hours straight before I get too tired to continue, then wake up and do it again. The actual time I wake up and fall asleep varies and is dismissive, and I end up eating whenever I actually notice I'm hungry rather than on a semi-regular pattern. I don't even give any mind to my other hobbies anymore and my backlog has not only been not touched, I'm not even keeping tabs on what should go in it.
I have NEVER been sucked into a game like this before. is it just because it's a new genre for me, am I maybe a little autistic, or is this just norrmal for new people trying to overcome the learning curve? Regardless, I figure I'll lurk here for a while and hopefully absorb something useful, if only just perspective. Just from browsing this thread, it seems like this community has a decent learning curve too.

Stormfags and /pol/fags (and now /gsg/faggots always spouting white and based, blobbing germany and wanting to kill Israel at autistic simulators. fuck you) are the best example of subhumans in human society today. You have stunningly low intelligence. You are all psychopaths and sociopaths. You are so susceptible to confirmation bias and delusion that when someone insults you as an individual for being mind-blowingly stupid, all you can think of is your epic jew memes and spout MUH GOY.
Rest assured that if 100% of you were not busy confined to a basement somewhere masturbating to cartoons, society would not tolerate your existence. Now get moving on dying in your 40s of heart disease you worthless sack of subhuman shit.

Usually you're crippled if you attack over long distances due to supply shortages but since nearly the entire nation is naval you can create the ultimate super powered fleet to send 20,000 troops damn near anywhere in the world relatively quickly.
So I'm trying to form Sardinia-Piedmont on my way to forming Italy in EUIV but I can't fabricate a claim on Sassari in Sardinia that I need to form it even though I share a sea province with it. How am I supposed to take it from Aragon before they get personal unioned with Castile?

The lessons of Kyrellea taught us well, and we have been ruthlessly been hunting pirates ever since.

The 1st Fleet showed them the errors of their ways
(It should be noted that the Fleet's hold an extraordinary record for the Empire, having not lost a single ship so far. All casualties so far have been escorts, abused while alone by the occasional space creature or larger pirate ship)

The Empire reels back in shock
In the most daring raid so far in Empire history, the Fearsome Rock Confederation, perhaps knowing their time runs to an end and wanting to take out as much has they can, launched a daring raid against Sheymo, the 2nd largest planet in our empire, topped only by our home Nuld. Worse, Sheymo is in the Sol system, with our capital at Nuld being on the other side of the system.
With the inhabitants of Nuld watching the battle across the system and their brothers fighting for their life, the government is in a full on panic. Asides from wondering how the hell the Fearsome Rock Confederation got past all the other system to get to Sol, nearly all Fleets were in the Northern Western parts of the Empire preparing for the attack in the Rock's home base.
The 6th Fleet, half a sector away in deep space heading for our eastern colonies, is ordered back to Sol to defend what many in the Fleet call home.
May god have mercy on Sheymo should the station fall before the Fleet arrives

>>174889021
It seems that as we have underestimated the pirates, the pirates underestimate our stations. While a few nearby escorts gave their life to help defend the station, the station itself was able to hold off the marauders, not only forcing them to flee before the Fleet even arrived, but taking out at least a pirate cruiser as well. The pirate fled somewhere east, where the 6th's been ordered to hunt them down after repairs are made to the space station.

Without a home base, the Rock will be routed, hunted, and no mercy will be given to these scum.

The state of the Empire shortly after the Battle of Ethur Major
A quick rundown of the Empire, for those interested; Kyrellea Prime, with it;s large population, space station, and it's position serves as our northern hub of activity; exploration, military staging areas for northern missions, and a trading hub with the Kiadian Alliance (dark blue).
Belbrenge Minor has evolved into the hub of our interactions with the Ketarov Federation (dark green). As the main planet in the system has more Ketarov's than humans, it's an interesting trading hub, where man and his new best friend mingle.
Usarean has become the Empire's greatest eastern hub. Strangely, there's been a great increase in military presence here, mostly likely due to it's importance as a trde hub with the Empire's Eastern colonies.
Meanwhile, a growing concern among the Empire's leadership is the ever tightening of the borders. The only peaceful expansion is attempting to colonize pre-space civilization planets to the north; as these planets are occupied by rather hostile races, that seems improbable. In hushed meetings with the nations military leaders, the decision is made that one of the bordering empires must be conquered if the Empire doesn't wish to become fully surrounded. A western attack into faithful allies is ruled out, leaving the "monster" races in the south and east the target. A conclusion is reached that the Dhayut Sovereighty (the bordering pinkish eastern empire), a despotism empire ran by the Dhayut, commonly referred to as "big ass spiders", is not only disliked by the rest of the galaxy, but only has a single defense pact, with an empire on the outer spirals of the galaxy.
The Empire's chosen it's target, and the Fleet's begin to move....

>>174894653
the best way to learn is to just play a custom game with a small galaxy, 1 or 2 pirates, and iether have you be the only space civ or make one or two join you
A lot of the game is automated, for example, I turned off the auto. for the Fleets' but left them on for the escorts, construction ships and exploration ships; while I control the 90 or so ships in the Fleets, the AI is making sure the exploration ships keep exploring, the construction ships keep building, and the escorts patrolling. The top right sidebar has suggestions popping up constantly.
Just throw yourself into it and let the AI handle what you aren't comfortable dealing with yet.
>>174895428
Distance World Universe. 10x better than Stellaris, and yes, although in the base game there's a preset number of races, the Empire's name, flag, government, etc are customization.
I do know though that if you have have Humans as your starting race the system you start in is always Sol.

No, they became the Emperor in my current game and are one of the three major Catholic Princes.
Protestants are fucked though, considering how powerful the Catholic League is.
Catholics:

>Commonwealth
>Spain (me, also an Empire-tier)
>Brandenburg
>The Pope
>Hungary (who's Austria-Hungary without Upper/Lower Austria or Transylvania, which the Ottomans took)
>Sweden
>Some OPMs
Protestants:
>Great Britain
>(Half of )Austria( because I started in 1453 and Hungary got a PU over Styria and subsequently inherited it)

There is people right here who think Vicky 2's economy is 'too complex' and that it should be dumbed down in Vic3
What do you think? I think it's good, maybe it should be even more complex, with private companies and better trade. But I agree that it's broken. That doesn't mean it needs to be simplified though
>>174904698
I think it's retarded -- there should be a rehaul to make the economy tab more interactive instead of leaving it automated for the whole game.

Japan is unplayable in HPM or something. I start playing as the Empire, and when it's 1862 some clan declares war on Tokugawa, and I am forced to go to war. We have less than half of the enemy army though, and we get killed and the game ends.
I go back to a previous save but no matter what I do by 1862 Meiji emperor appears, and Tokugawa crushes us. There's nothing I can do. Fuck this game, I wasted 2 hours of my life playing this crap for nothing. Before you say anything, I have played Japan plenty of times before, but looks like in the last version of HPM TOkugawa will westernize at the same time the Empire and they will kick your ass.

Take as many provinces as you can. The point of vassalizing Portugal is to make it so their merchants keep directing trade to the Sevilla node. But other than that you don't need them for anything. You want them to have as little trade power in the node as possible, too.

Just got the Mandate of Heaven update, thought I'd play as Ming for the first time since it's the flavour of the newest patch.
What exactly should I be doing as Ming with these new mechanics? Ming is already an enormous blob so consuming even more land seems counter productive beyond a certain point. Money is endless and there are no immediate rivals.
At the moment I'm just acquiring as many tributaries as possible to build these mandate points but to what end exactly?

>>174909063
>>174909287
not an argument
So I've been contemplating something for converted games or even for alternate history mods. How should the HRE function in Vicky? Here are my thoughts for now;
-A country modifier on the Emperor nation, giving some prestige.
-Events to raise Imperial Authority?
-Minimum of 2 decisions:
-Reform decision to puppet member states
-Reform decision to annex member states
-Maybe more that give a couple minor bonuses?
>>174909679
Spaniards are European
All Europeans are white
Therefore Spain is the whitest country on Earth

Why can't we unify all of Spanish speaking Americas under a same banner in Vicky 2. I will create a mod where you can do that. It was what Bolivar wanted
What is the current state of Victoria 2 modding?
>>174909819
Depends what kind of alternate history it is. If the HRE is basically a failed state then it really shouldn't do anything. If it's still in good shape you could have a mechanic where certain countries are flagged as HRE members, and if the Emperor spheres members of the HRE he can puppet them, then annex the puppets. And the target countries can refuse to be puppeted/annexed and it can cause a war or even a crisis if they're guaranteed by another GP.
Or if the HRE is in very good shape you can just start it so the HRE is one state with a ton of little substates.
You could also mod the Reforms screen to include reforms to the HRE.
>>174905536
Vickymod has Occitan pops? Are they one of your accepted cultures? But French definitely is, right?
If they are both accepted along with the Italians, you have a nice national majority of accepted pops without any one group being too dominant. That's pretty good when you have 26 million pops total!

ottomans exist. turkey does not exist.
serbians exist. yugoslavia does not.
iron guard romania exists. romania does not.
greece obviously exists.
none of these entities are at war. greece is not allied with the ottomans.
greece controls provinces 363-366 and 370. ottomans control provinces 1077 and 409.
bulgaria does not exist and serbia controls province 321. eventually serbia releases a bulgarian puppet (also covered by the event)

You have a strange way of speaking so I'm not exactly sure what you are saying, but I have no idea what Turks being white and Arabs being fucked by their Islamic leaders (rather than their genes) has to do with genocide.
I guess the Turks have done some genocide, so maybe you are trying to say that Armenians are European? I would say they are Caucasian but not European.

To understand the Empire's decision, one must understand the ever changing politics in the galaxy.
The galaxy finds itself slowly splitting into 3 camps, referred to in the Empire as Neutrals, Monsters, and Humanoids.
The Humanoids consist of races the Empire is in defense pacts with and shares large amounts of trade wit. Named as these races as human-like in nature (dog-human, whale-human, etc). These empires share common human values, and as such we naturally get along.
The Monsters are referring to not so friendly races. These races and empires look like something out of a horror movie, from the giant spider like Dhayuts to the insect like Gizureans to the cockroach like Sluken. These insect and reptile like races are the stuff of nightmares, and humans and their cousins hold negative views towards them, views returned by these abominations.
The neutrals are the few races in between; mammals, but nowhere near human like. They range from giant rodents to evolved apes.

So in order to make Hispanic American countries more interesting to play, I'll add this Pan-Hispanism decisions:
If you have formed Gran Colombia or La Plata, or managed to reform Peru-Bolivia you will get a series of events like the ones used to create Scandinavian Union. You will need to sphere all the remaining South American countries, be a GP, have high prestige and some culture technologies.
Once you get to the last event you will be able to annex the remaining South American countries and form the Hispanic Union. You will also be able to invite countries from Central America, the Caribbean and Mexico, but those countries will only join if they are in your sphere, allied to you and have +100 relations, or if they are your puppets. You will get a nice flag, cores in all of Hispanic America and all Spanish speaking cultures as accepted.

You have 18 loans and 6556 ducats of debt. 6556/18 is 364, meaning your average loan size is 364. But your current loan size is 485. Take a bunch of loans and repay your old loans using the new money you acquire. This will reduce the total number of loans you have. It's called refinancing.
You're at peace, so lower army maintenance to zero. Mothball forts you don't need. Mothball fleets that aren't doing anything. Actually you can probably even delete some forts, 15 ducats a month for fort maintenance is a lot.
You can also stop converting unless it's absolutely necessary. If you do all these things you should be almost in the black. If you're catholic ask the Pope to Forgive Usury for -interest per annum. Also try taking economic ideas if you're going to loanspam.
As a last resort you can debase currency and use that to pay back loans so you stop paying interest. You'll have to pay down the corruption though.

Ok, so I've been doing a bit of Venice, have made some obvious gains, most notably nearly all of Naples and a good portion of the Papal state, they are left to Rome and Romaigne. Haven't been able to dive into any HRE lands yet, as of now I'm allied to Austria and Poland and intend to ditch Austria for France at first opportunity. The protection is needed against Ottomans, who are pissed I took Armenia and those good bits of Greece. I'd taken Cyprus from Mamluks thanks to Naval power and am now about to try and dive into North Africa proper. If I can get set up here then it will be pretty easy to topple Tunisia and get Egypt before Ottomans can reach it. Before or by that point I intend to utilize Austria and Poland/Lith to weaken Ottomans so I can start eating them, too.
In Vicky 2 is there anything I can do to encourage Liberals to become conscious and try to revolt?

Even with the established empires pushing the darkness further and further away, sometime the darkness sticks back.
The Rock Confederation must have established new bases somewhere outside of our sights as these ships surely wouldn't suicide their organization without somewhere to flee. Still, the fighting being this close to the Capital, Nuld, fears many within the government. These outlaws get bolder and bolder each day; will they gain enough strength to try to raid Nuld itself?
While the attack is obliterated by the nearby Fleets and the defense bases over Nuld, these bolder attacks are a cause or worry.
Aren't there any GSG that are like Victoria 2 in that there is downtime in between wars where you can chill out and play with your pops and economy?

Paradox games are always shit on release. There is no exception to this rule. They're released in an unplayable basically alpha state and the more expansions they get, the closer they become to a finished product. PDS basically sells early access games for $60 and charges for updates, and gets away with it because they have zero competition in their niche market.

So, new to history.
But why did the Catholic world gang up on Byzantines?
You would think they would put aside the minor differences between Catholicism and Orthodoxy to murder the muslims before they swooshed right into asia minor.
But instead, Byzantium gets its ass handed to them for....? Im not even really sure.
Was it really just because Venice went full autismo and demanded everyone in europe murder the Empire?
>>174916146
I hated EU3 and EU4. I like DH, Vicky2, Hoi3, and CK2 is at least playable. When EU4 released it was a steaming pile of shit, far worse than EU3. Not even because of the whole Sims-like lack of DLC, but because the game really was just that bad. 3 years later, tons of updates, and DLC (pirated of course, can't be excused but it is what it is) I feel like it's on part with CK2 which is playable, mostly if you've played good games to death.

>>174916779
Because murdering the byzantines was more profitable for them than murdering the muslims. The crusades weren't about religion, no one in charge really gave a shit about that, it was just a pretense to get dumb peasants to volunteer to fight for control of key trade routes. The Bosphorous strait is a key trade route.

That makes sense. But wasn't religion still a major part of it? To be sure, a good chunk of the time it was used as an excuse, but I thoiught one of the reasons(other than to get rich) was to retard the growing muslim influence before it consumed europe. Also to fight against the injustices that christians, both pilgrim and native, suffered in the Levant under the Seljuks.

>>174917229
The attack on Byzantium had nothing to do with religion, no. It was all about money. Before the Fourth Crusade the crusaders and Venice came to an agreement with the Byzantine prince Alexios Angelos to divert to Constantinople and restore his deposed father as emperor. In exchange, Alexios promised financial and military assistance to the crusaders once he had control of the empire. The intention of the crusaders was then to continue to the Holy Land with the promised Byzantine financial and military assistance.
On June 23rd, 1203 the main crusader fleet reached Constantinople. In August 1203, following clashes outside Constantinople, Alexios Angelos was crowned co-Emperor (as Alexios IV Angelos) with crusader support. However, in January 1204, he was deposed by a popular uprising in Constantinople. The Western crusaders were no longer able to receive their promised payments, and when Alexios was murdered on 8 February 1204, the crusaders and Venetians decided on the outright conquest of Constantinople in order to get the money and support they needed. In April 1204, they captured and brutally sacked the city, and set up a new Latin Empire as well as partitioning other Byzantine territories among themselves.

Infantry divisions are Light Inf, Pack Art, AT, Armored Car, ENG, Light Vehicle Transport, and HQ. Some I use Mountain Inf instead of Light inf for the terrain bonuses though it's more expensive.
Light armor divisions are Light Arm, Mot-Inf Attachment, TD, Armored Car, Truck Transport, and HQ. These are built for maximum speed and supply throughput so they can encircle shit with ease and still work deep into Russia.
Regular armor divisions are the same but replace L-Arm with Armor, replace Armored Car with Med-Art, and add Engineer. These are the main attacking force of the army, the armored spearhead. Later on all of these get Heavy AA to better pierce tanks in the later war. Don't give it to the light armor divisions though because it will wreck their speed
For busting the maginot line I'd just use event divisions like the SS divisions and let them grind down the forts. Then just encircle the line with armor later after going around through the beneleux.

hello friend. i understand your frustration, but please keep those in mind:
military tactics (tech) make your soldiers fight better. make sure to have atleast equal tactics before engaging in combat.
mid game, machine guns are invented. this gives defending infantry +5 defence. also the more late game you get, the more privileges the defenders enjoy due to tech.
combat width and maneuvre are important. always have as much artillery as you have infantry.
and most importantly, understand that dice rolls can make certain battles REALLY random. do not be frustrated too much over it!

But honestly that's what the HRE would have been. The HRE was on a terminal decline, it's status hardly mattering by the time Napoleon performed the mercy kill. And nationalism would have utterly burnt it to the ground.
>UBERMENSCH GERMANY
But realistically, that's the only way you'd be able to save it. It mostly WAS German, and is known as the First Reich. So unless Occitain/North Italian duchies like Dauphine or Milan are part of the empire, it's ubermensch Germany.
In my opinion, you have something like two things I know of that keep the HRE around. One, you could do something like Wiz did in his ancient hegemonia AAR ( https://lparchive.org/Paradox-Hohenzollern/ ), where the HRE's entire structure was changed, and where HRE designated demesene lands change hands with whoever is the Emperor. But even then it atrophied away.
You could do what Divergances did, where at game start Bohemia is technically the Emperor, but where the Great German War (sort of a combination of the Thirty Years War and the French Revolution) has basically burned the HRE in practice to the ground, and Germans have been more or less the butt monkey of history. Bohemia actually CAN form the HRE, but they only have a ten or so year window at best to form it, before liberal rising and the German Council make it so they can't - the only thing they can form then is the Elbian Confederation as a sort of compromise state with the north Germans, or Elbians. But options like this depend on how history went with your game.
The other mentioned method, depending on how far things were centralized, an existant HRE with tons of substates, though mechanically that causes problems with Vicky, especially when the substates are much stronger..
You better be prepared to do some hand converting though either way, working with textfiles. No one wants to see the same nations around when they should be different, like Argentina or etc.
