Then do it. It should be trivial for a character with high intrigue. Just drop the caliphs one after another until you get a literal imbecile on the throne and then help the rebellions that will inevitably happen.

my hier has like, 12, but my councilor has 29
is that good enough to pick off caliphs or should I steal more women until I can get more than 41 state intrigue?
>>
>>122402865
Frankly getting an imbecile on the throne is hardly required even as is, since the new ruler malus generally causes at least one revolt, plus the huge levy malus on top of it.

You do want to help them, though.

Just check your plot power against the caliph. If the current one isn't too bad and you can deal with him, then the rest should be easy, given how they wouldn't have all the bonuses the old one had and will have a pretty big malus at first.

It's literally impossible to restore Byzantine during V2's timeframe, as it is literally impossible to do so now, though different reasons.
Plus, Greece already has their own Megali Idea decision if it ever grows any powerful.

Hey mate. I gave you an event some time ago that copied the one for Japan to get some prestige when they become GP, but for Persia. You still have it somewhere?

Also, would you be interested by some flavour on the bazaari (third most influential group at the time), the Persian-Anglo-Afghan war for Herat and the Constitutional Revolt of early XXth? Also, I'm thinking a bit of (limited) flavour for Indonesia, would you care for some?

The 19th century is the era of the nation state, Byzantium is, by definition, not one. Greece calling itself "the roman empire" and greeks suddenly calling themselves "roman" like they did would be far from nationalistic, and would be met with scorn by the international community, especially Italy.
Put it simply, the allusions to the roman empire both in Italy and Greece, are made primarily as allegories or metaphors. Almost an Utopy. The name of these states were invoked to provoke nationalism, not in the literal sense, with the exception of a few deluded people.

For the same reason other "countries" or such arrangements don't make any sense in the Victorian era. Like the Holy Roman Empire.

Have you changed the starting policies of the American parties in 1836 for the next update because they're in dire need of change, I've written down some suggestions I can post now if you haven't changed them already, as the current policies really are all wrong
>>
>>122411092
Nope, but AMM changed a few things so I need to take a look at that before I can tell you anything for sure.

I also need to redo the electoral vote, though it's harder than the Uk since they don't vote on parties but I guess using pic related will have to do.

Here's my changes to the party policies in 1836 USA, explanation is too long to fit in a single post so I'll add the final part onto this, my major issue was the Democrats being protectionist and the Whigs for free trade which really makes no sense at all.


Democratic Party
Trade Policy: Free Trade
Economic Policy: Laissez Faire
Religious Policy: Moralism or Pluralism*1
Citizenship policy Limited Citizenship
War Policy: Jingoism

Whig Party
Trade Policy: Protectionism
Economic Policy: Interventionism or State Capitalism
Religious Policy: Moralism
Citizenship policy: Limited Citizenship
War Policy: Pro-Military

Southern Democrats
Trade Policy: Free Trade
Economic Policy: Laissez Faire
Religious Policy: Moralism or Pluralism*1
Citizenship policy: Limited Citizenship
War Policy: Jingoism


Trade policies of the parties have been swapped as the paradox setup was frankly idiotic, the major divide between the two parties was their stance on trade, the Whigs supported protectionism to encourage American production and growing industry, and purchasing of American goods; leading to their popularity in the urban and industrializing North. While the Democrats supported free trade to support exports from the USA; leading to their dominance in the south which relied on their exporting of cotton, tobacco, rice, and other goods produced on plantations.

Economic policies of the party have been heavily changed too. Historically the Whigs supported Federal intervention in matters such as construction of the new railroads, and the economy in general, but not at the cost of free enterprise. While the Democrats were devoutly opposed to any Federal intervention in any matter be it trade with tariffs, or the federal government building new railroads and increasing taxes, again why the party was dominant in the rural south which was nearly entirely based on private enterprise and selling their goods abroad.

Aragon got their shit pushed in my Castille, giving me a chance. Things look a little less hopeless even though I had to take out a crapload of loans to pay for this.

Meanwhile Burgundy became the Emperor and promptly lost 4 wars in a row to France, who's now looking unstoppable and has annexed most of its vassals.
>>
>>122412194
Whigs have been changed from Full Citizenship to Limited Citizenship as the party was split between two radical sides, Nativisits opposed to citizenship for any migrants to the country with the exception of protestants from Britain and Germany, and the more liberal wing of the party in favour of extending citizenship, so I settled with Limited Citizenship with the rest of the parties. - Nativisits would go on to form their only society then party in the 1850s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know_Nothing
1*Reason for suggesting Moralism is that in the North the Democratic Party was largely accepting of the Irish Catholics and received the vast majority of the Irish vote for that reason, and many local branches in Southern and Border state cities were heavily dominated or lead by Irish Catholics, not sure about making Pluralism the policy though, as the party was of course not supportive of religions outside of Christianity as with all the other major political parties of the time. Same issue is present with Southern Democrats who really shouldn't exist, and only are there to fill in a reactionary slot.

You should have claims on all the shit you lost. It's usually easier to retake than to take the first time.

The thing is I don't know how you balance what's historical. I mean, no reason for the British to intervene if they have not sphered Afghanistan in the game. And if so, there are already mechanics in place to work out intervention so forcing it with events doesn't feel right. Maybe some events for Afghanistan to push getting sphered by the UK. You do have historical wars so I think I can make it fit in a nice way still.

I would like to make the choices of the Constitutional Revolt depends on your previous choices, for example concerning the ulema and the bazaari. One of the key moment is when protesters hid in the British embassy. I'd like two outcomes (amongst other, more classical ones like stepping down and getting a Constitutional Monarchy) to be possible with this: giving a Casus Belli to a great power to intervene (if the player decide to attack the embassy to shut down the rebellion for example) and getting a theocratic government (not far outside the realm of possibilities). What do you think?

As for Indonesia, it's minor stuff and not a lot of people will play it anyway but I'm thinking decision flavour about Pancasila, Konfrontasi, claims on East Timor, things like that.

Germany 1933 if you enjoy reading the flavor events and building up industry for a while. Germany 1939 if you want to jump right into the warfare.

Once you have the very basics down, try Italy or Japan for a full campaign. The Allied nations aren't terribly entertaining and I honestly don't recommend any of them for your first few campaigns. Soviet Union is also a good choice if you want a tough fight against the German AI.

A nation that starts with a CoT would probably be comfortable to start with to make the economy a little easier.

Switzerland doesn't have one, but it has very good(probably the best) starting slider positions.

France, Hansa and Aragon have 3 on the Serfdom-Free Subjects slider so those are pretty good.
Both have CoT, Hansa is smaller and France might be too easy.

Papal State start small and doesn't have a CoT, but if you join the HRE you'd be safe and you could probably learn the game pretty well with them.
You have a very high chance of getting cardinals iirc and they reduce infamy(mechanic which keeps you from blobbing too hard)

Are you saying that he supported industrialists like Mauá? You do know that he was a kek submitted to the interests of the coffee exporters and because of that he didn't do shit to reduce the inflation and industrialize the country.

>Because Brazils future completely depended on some niggers getting free
>some
>literally more than half of the population
You corno memester if he really cared about the country he would make the abolition as soon as possible and adopt an industrial policy led by Mauá, using the alforriados and immigrants as workers. But instead he kept abstracting about how autistic he was for keking Paraguay all the day on his court - sustained by heavy taxes and full of useless leeching courtiers.

>And because the republic is so much better hm,a coup every 20-30 years or so,marvelous
Of course it has a coup every 30 years. It's because the mess the empire done - created a culture of submission, concentrated rural properties under half dozen people, created fucked up local policies that came from the Paraguay War, preserving colonial cartórios and municipal structures and other things - are still present and help to perpetuate the mess. We almost fixed it on the 30s with the AIB, but Vargas betrayed them. Maybe we can fix things on 2018 with Bolsonaro backed by the middle class, the nationalists, the conservatives and the military, but that will be hard.

I'm not saying they will. They have shown prowess when it came to hunt down communists but they were pretty shit when handling the economy (except for the Castelo Branco government).

Mind you that it's a very possible thing with the level of outrage within the military today and shit like generals boycotting presidential events and their short budget.

What event are you thinking about?

>>122427069
I usually let the mechanics handle it if I can. Giving a CB instead of war, for example. Sometimes the AI is dumb and I gotta help it.

Events in central asia pushing spheres around will interfere and frustrate the great game. Could fuck Russia over, for example. So I'd shy away from these kind of events.

I'm really a terrible person to comment on outcomes for Iranian history though, I don't know almost anything about it besides the basics. I can't judge how likely a theocratic government was (though today is a good indication that it could be) and in the future I want a more dynamic way (probably though rebels) for muslim countries to end up like Iran .

Or is it just my experience? Anybody seen this happen with a certain frequency?
>>
>>122439882
S-P is in a really delicate position in most games as it doesn't control a lot of pops. This will end up happening. Unfortunately, there isn't much ,pre I can do (excluding straight up buffs, which I'm reluctant to do), but I will keep an eye out.

When I get to the first italian war of unification then maybe things will get better
>>
>>122439117
I've tried to bring this up with you twice but each time you leave when I ask.

Can you add the Cape Colony as an independent tag? It got a fair degree of autonomy (similar to Canada) and would suit a puppet government of the UK.

It would also make the Boer wars more interesting if it wasn't a British shitting on the Boers fest 100% of the time. You could make it so it's like a civil war, the Cape Colony tries to unite SA with British as primary and Boer as accepted and the Boers try to do the same vice versa.
>>

>>122440363

OK, thanks, keep up the good work!
>>
>>122440363
When's the new version?
>>
>>122440416
I don't think SAF needs another tag and the boer wars would still be against the UK (since you can't DoW puppets), so I don't see any gains.

>>122440420
Maybe, maybe if I feel inspired during one update I can do it.

>>122440429
Thanks anon!

>>122440545
There's no ETA, sorry. After I integrate the american minimod V3 I will test it out and then I will have an idea.
>>
>>122440852
It's not about gains, it's about historical accuracy, the Cape Colony had nominal indepdence, similar to that of Canada until 1931, to claim the Cape Colony doesn't deserve to be in the game is the same as claiming that Canada doesn't.

Also, my point about the Boer wars is Britain commits it's entire army and often leaves a massive stack in Cape town so come the Boer wars they get rekt, that wouldn't happen, or at least not as often if there was a Cape puppet there.
>>
>>122441108
That's only in 1872 though, and the SAF tag takes care of that. Besides, not being a british colony would stop the flow of migrant pops.

In my experience colonial army commitment is a hit or miss. Sometimes the AI loses all their territory because they can't be bothered to ship a single division over, sometimes they send most of their army to french africa.
>>
>>122441518
>That's only in 1872 though
Same exact thing for Canada. Plus there's still over half the game left at that point.

>and the SAF tag takes care of that.

It does not. The Union of South Africa was exactly that, a union. It wasn't a British nation, it wasn't a Boer nation, it was a union. Before the Union there was the Boer states and from 1872 to 1910 there was the Cape Colony.

hey HPM, is there a way that the genocide decision could add a "convert to my religion or die" kind of thing? It doesn't really make sense that forced conversions couldn't go along with genocide
>>
>>122441787
Actually, it's 1841 for responsible government (technically 49), which was the 1872 date for SAF was about.

Calling it "South Africa" or Cape Colony is the same (though a nation with "colony" in it would cause some problems).
Besides, when released from the UK South Africa is released with British as primary so it's effectively a british nation (and the cape colony wasn't a nation at all, it was a colony).

>>122441971
Events for that from NNM already exist. There's nothing new on that front.

>>122442018
I can't change pop's religion by event.
Genocide involves, necessarily, killing. If everyone converts then it isn't genocide. It also wasn't something that was used, ever, I think, because religion wasn't important for most of the western world. Not in the sense you are implying anyway.
>>
>>122442456
You're missing the point with SAF, SAF is the Union nation only, it was British & Boer, if the game allowed two primary cultures both would be primary, it was a union. But the Cape Colony was soley British, yet the British granted it it's own parliament and prime minister, therefore it was independent, an independent British nation in SA.

It's like Canada is Anglo-®Canadian and French Canadian, no one culture is dominant over the other, but if British Columbia seceded it would soley be Anglo-Canadian, just like if Quebec seceded it would soley be French-Canadian.
>>
>>122442815
So the point would be having a SA tag that is released 20 years early than normal with only british as primary and no one accepted, but instead of calling it SAF we call it "cape colony" (with the problem of someone forcing the UK to release it and we have the free independent nation with the name of "colony") that would live for 20 years and would potentially screw up with colonization just to change tag to SAF after two decades??

I am looking through the files myself, what could possibly be causing it? Some odd event? I would be looking at the germany event folder to be honest, or maybe even the Greater Germany folder. I am trying to remember when Germany formed when I was playing as Austria, there was a very specific casus belli "hegemony" I believe it was. And it showed up and then disappeared and never went away.

The problem is the whole retarded as shit targeting thing against de jure kingdoms

To me it would make a ton more sense if the crusade just made every christian ruler hostile towards every non christian, give them the same ai that pagan raiders have that makes them go siege either nearby infidels or faraway locations that have some predetermined value, for example some frog wouldn't go fight in the baltic even if it was slightly closer than the Levant because Levant is more valuable, then give the whole crusade a warscore goal that's gained by won sieges and battles and when the goal is reached the gained lands should be de jure duchies at most, like if Christian crusaders have occupied all the counties in that de jure duchy the ruler who has occupied the most holdings gets those counties, no insta-kingdoms

I'm trying to maximizing cultural efficiency by getting a large cultural union(Germanic, which is the biggest in development(only tax+manpower that matters in this case)) while my primary culture is in a different group.

Francien: Accepted
Germanic: Accepted
Other French: Half Penalty
Latin: Full Penalty
East Slavic: Full Penalty

Then I'll make pretty holy french/german/italian borders and develop.
I think I will assist byzantine in reclaiming the balkans, maybe southern italy as well.

Protip: Make neat stacks of 30 with your troops, your stacks as they are right now are sitting ducks and just lots of management for nothing.

You don't need them to be bigger than 30 most of the time, but you can keep a few stacks nearby so they can reinforce each others if need be.

Ideal army composition in most cases until you get tanks and airplanes is 4 Infantry/4 Artillery/1 hussar/1 engineer, the rest is quite useless. Never make irregulars, they're literal garbage tier that even uncivs can destroy.

Once you get tanks and airplanes, you can pretty much just make new stacks of 6 tanks/4 airplanes or whatever works for you.

Whatever's causing it it's not "logical". Sometimes in V2 modding, when you do something the game doesn't like, instead of outright crashes it simply acts strange. That's one of these cases and they are usually harder to find the cause of the problem.

>>122443289
Honestly, it's not worth it. Also, having a nation that calls itself "colony" being free isn't accurate too. Simply working with SAF or leaving as it is is a better solution.

True, however its strangely consistent. I wish there was any way to fix this without it being nearly impossible to ally with them.

Barely holding my trade empire together, may have to abandon the trade league and go full free trade before long, but I can't until I finish my conquest goals---a huge, decentralized (all vassals) Northern German Federation.

>>122478846
>Why Free Trade
Because my Trade League is crumbling to Venetian creep from the south, and I can't compete just with vassalization and forcing TL compliance via peace deals---they break as soon as the truce runs out. Lübeck's CoT's value has plateaued but I don't want to rely on it too much.

>Maybe go slightly colonial and focus on taking Cots without blobbing too hard?
This is a solid strategy, but I'd prefer to stay in Europe for most of the early-mid game, maybe going for some Caribbean islands if I can steal them. I have no designs on the rest of Scandinavia beyond what I've shown for the Sound Toll bonus.

I plan to at least take Novgorod, or demolish it and make a new CoT in Riga or something, somewhere I can pull a bunch of local trade.

I will go Admin Republic at some point, no point in wasting all this time with the Trade League. May even do this before Venice does, depending on how things play out. I've got a nice position right now, no need to go crazy.

I'm interested in the Napoleon's Legacy mod in the OP. I played a few years as France but received the Kowloon Incident event and the creator didn't even bother to change the event description so it still regards the player as the British government. I don't understand why something like this would be overlooked when the map has obviously had a lot of work put into it. There also aren't any factories at all in the Low Countries so the game begins with thousands of unemployed workers. Doesn't make any sense.

Is the mod in playable shape aside from issues like this?

I dont know if you know the history of the mod but basically it was made and worked on by a guy named napoop he worked on it for awile back in the day. Then he got outed as a fedora wearing brony no really and dissapeared. Some other guy started working on it recently ported it to HPM and fixed some things. Im not entirely sure if hes still working on it though.

When manually converting EU4 saves to Vicky 2 saves, what do you guys normally do?

I generally give provinces and cores like normal, and keep population numbers the same, but change the major culture to the province culture in EU4. Oh, and I tend to clean up borders a bit and make new countries for the New World if appropriate, e.g. a British Mexico won't have the same flag as Spanish Mexico does.

I agree that the first republic was shit. Literally the elite of two states relud the country to their own benefit while screwing everyone else on the process like devaluating the currency in order to increase the coffee exports and the enacting of the Taubaté Agreement.

He's not the best we could have, but he is the best as of now. He'd deleftize Brazilian culture, pull Brazil out of Mercosul and reform the economy and open it (Brazil is the country that less imports on the world and you clearly see the result of that when buying stuff made abroad) and the constitution and the penal code. And with the nearly unconditional backing of the army and the nationalist/conservatives he is the only one capable of finally fixing shit.

I mean, do you expect the national congress to actually reduce the government's bloated size and Byzantine-tier bureaucracy under Serra, Aécio, Alckmin, Marina or Temer without bickering among themselves and actually not passing important shit like the political reform like it happened not many months ago? The only one capable of radically changing the status quo for the better it's him, liking him or not. If anyone else gets elected the same shit that has been happning for 200 years will continue on for more 200.

I decided to see if it was possible to take Wallonia and Luxembourg before the British mediate Belgian independence - turns out it wasn't that difficult at all. I had to wait a few years before the UK would accept peace but it only took the first few years of the game.

The Dutch jumped in soon afterwards and annexed the rest of Belgium. Should I turn on them at some point and take Flanders? I am preparing to go to war with Prussia for the Rhine border as my next move. Should I wait until they form the NGF so that I can also take the bit of Bavarian Palatinate?

Any ideas on this plan or improvements? I don't think I want to expand any more in Europe except possibly Sardinia Piedmont but it's going to look ugly without being able to take French Switzerland by itself.
>>
>>122491203

You ruined France's beautiful borders.

If you really want to do it, prop up Bavaria and make it form Germany so that the Rhine North Germans have no cores to block assimilation.

I definitely don't want to go full Napoleon but I'm thinking all of Belgium and the Rhine border along with reasonable gains in northern Italy. I'd take French Switzerland if I could but in HPM it's all a single state. Sound reasonable?

>prop up Bavaria and make it form Germany

That's really interesting, actually. I'll invest railroads/factories now and see what happens. I have seen them get to GP before which seems to really throw off the Prussia AI in forming Germany.

It's just my personal biases complaining: I think the modern French borders are aesthetic as fuck.

The downside to propping Bavaria up (if it works out this game) is that German cores will stop you assimilating the A-L Germans, but if you're going to the Rhine it's a net gain anyway.

You should lose A-L to the Germans regardless of who ends up being ebin Germaniums, to give yourself a reason for punishing the people you helped (Bavaria) or to ramp up French nationalism in A-L (Prussians win, South Germans become an assimilation target).

I would like to go full Morgenthau Plan on Germany at some point in this game but understand that the closest thing I can do to this is occupy them at 100% for a while until their factories close, but know that they'll rebound quickly. Does the Dismantle Empire CB break up Germany in any significant way in HPM? I also plan to prop up Austria as much as possible to provide a counterweight.

It's kinda complicated and depends on how uncivilized you are. You can't compare the Chinese to the Zulu, for example.
I agree with you there, but since it's something that will require a lot of balance, it's something I'd rather leave for later.

Pretty sure that wasn't the case until the rise of the Ottomans. For example the emperor of the HRE was called the "Roman Emperor" instead of "Emperor of the Roman Empire" or something to avoid pissing of the Greeks. And they didn't call themselves Greeks/Hellenes but Romans, yeah partially because of delusion but also because this was before the concept of nation-states and nationalism.

Also what is the most recent version of nmm/gsg/vickymod/whatever the fuck it's supposed to be called? It's not in the OP and HPM is shit because Swiss isn't a real culture.
