It does annoy me a little that manpower just replenishes and you can just throw it away in eu4 and let the regiments refill over time with no negative effects on the population.
You can have wars where 500k soldiers die, but it doesn't really affect either side.

Hey, its Napoleon's Legacy guy, I'm still working on the mod

I recently tried a test game with Mexico that went well until Manifest Destiny where I handily beat the USA with the help of New England. It all went well until the American Civil War where New England won I really wanted the USA to win, became the USA and instantly did Manifest Destiny again. Only this time I couldn't refute it.

Otherwise the mods looks good. I'll probably finish off the EIC expansion tomorrow and upload that short update. I don't really know about the thing with the NEN or PLC since the mod looks complete otherwise.

>>123809918
But anon, the good thing is not to trigger those. Some of them in fact make militancy raise constantially, lower immigrant attraction, ruling party support, drop your population growth by a ton and so on. The way I see it even the modder from the parakeks forum sees some of them as idiotic, but added them anyway because the likes of Sweden have some of those.

>>123809609
I let /gsg/ start me up originally, but without a poll, I just let the first person give me a character and goal. It was to start as Charlememe and remove Muslims from Iberia, after that I start polls for everything. A lot of times CK2 gets boring once it becomes a blobfest, I think switching every so often makes it much better, as usually you aren't the biggest or even one of the biggest.

Mega Campaigns are extremely boring though, CK2 isn't bad, Eu4 is torture unless you play as a colonizer/warmonger and Vic2 is actually pretty fun, I have yet to start HoI3 so I can't tell you about that. Ultimately it's up to you, but be prepared if you want to finish it.

Humanist+Religious.

Under what circumstances would this be good?

Only thing I'm really seeing is after Cossacks where you can convert provinces to other cultures than your own at a discount.

So with lesser threshold and being able to culture convert away really minor cultures to mid sized cultures you could get more accepted cultures with a HumRel combo.

Stability Cost+Religious Unity could be nice maybe for using paper mana cheap for stability, and in turn unrest, so very low unrest with Hums own unrest idea.
Later on you can just rely on lvl3 Advisors for high stab imo.

Otto/France have poor synergy with getting both Rel and Hum I guess since you don't need to convert at all if you have their ideas with humanist.

A Humanist Indian Sultanate would only need to convert away heretics.
So only Sikh if you'd flip to Hindu, so Rel would be mostly wasted then.
I guess there's a lot of Sunni in the world so as Sikh Gujarat it would be a little more useful, but with +75% religious unity not really.

I'm inclined to agree with you, at least with the military portion. I like to have all my armies be of the same composition and preferably of the same culture. It's annoying as fuck when you are a large country and/or you have to rebuild lost armies. It doesn't help the way the whole soldier system works, with soldiers being drawn from individual pops in each state. It'd be better if all soldier pops contributed to a much larger manpower pool. At the very least, it would be preferable if they were drawn from the state level rather than the provincial level.

That's not played as Soviets, that's tag switching to see what the Soviet AI looks like when they are being beat. Look at their IC.

Also BlackICE gives all AIs infinite manpower, because winning wars by attrition in HoI3 is a exploit (this an an actual quote from the modder).

I've seen some bullshit Darkest Hour mods that buff the USSR way too much but that's just insane

>>123821894
But wasn't a war of attrition the game the Soviets were playing? Which would mean if you're playing as the Soviets you can't actually use their tactics.

Also that US lend lease, 10/10

>>123822217
soviets were not fighting a war of attrition..
they had some good doctrine ideas and the german's were over extended

>>123822217
Yes, but the modder decided that the player shouldn't be able to win wars of attrition to fix this "exploit" >>123818306 (which itself only happens because of BlackICE's fucked up AI and modifiers)

So whenever an AI gets blow (IIRC) 100 manpower, they get 300 manpower for free. Infinitely repeatable.

>>123822406

>>123822149
BlackICE also makes it so that cold weather gives a -90% combat modifier for attacks, so that attacking during winter ends up with 2% combat efficiency vs. 2000%. Not even exaggerating.

>>123822552
Hilariously enough the AI also gets boosts to manpower rate and its own regiments cost less manpower. I guess the modder couldn't figure out how many ways he wanted to boost AI manpower.

BlackICE has so many insanely retarded things. Like Artillery is 2 frontage for players to prevent "exploits" with using multiple artillery (which makes it useless), but AI gets it for 0 frontage. But then players could license Artillery from the AI to get Artillery that weren't useless, and the modder combated this exploit by disabling the licensing system entirely.

False. Darkest Hour is WAY less railroaded than HoI3. It also is more like a gsg and less like a war game like HoI3 is.

Disapointed to be honest

Need a good flag for a Welsh-run British Empire for CK2. It's called fucking Prydain instead of Britannia, and when I Googled Welsh flags I got nothing but gimpy-looking autism dragons.

So, I've played CK2 a couple times before but never really got a good sense of the mechanics behind the game. Shit just seems to happen randomly and I lose a bunch of land I'd been hoarding or something. I just bought the last few expansions and want to try again. When it finishes downloading from Steam, what ruler and start date should I start as being slightly experienced, but apparently retarded?

Possibly split into 3 different states though

Lads I'll only have like 40 years to blob, I won't be able to grab that much clay.
Also give me some music to get me in the mood because the first 50 years will surely be boring as fuck, so far I only have this https://youtu.be/aEv_aEwVvak

Lad, I want to thank you for the effort of making this. It makes me happy that people are that invested in my campaign. Normally I wouldn't consider it, since I want this campaign to be as BELIEVABLE as possible, but I will implement one small change from the map.

Since one has been long overdue

So I started as Scotland, successfully established myself as the dominant british state, then I switched over and created this Aquitaine-Catalonia kingdom. I love the idea of 2 strongish french states fighting each other. Who should I play next?
