I tested it with Nepal, and even though it's redundant since their neutral party is already their dynasty, this means that I can bring back the multiple party system from the previous HoI games.

This is actually retarded because your troops take massive and constant attrition, pushing through takes forever and supply is non-existent

But that doesn't stop the AI from drawing a front "all along the border"

As France or the UK, pushing strictly across the coast works extremely well and will demolish the Italian pocket, same as Italy against France and UK

They were pretty based tbqh but they kept distance from Hitler and nazism in general because they didn't support Hitler's racist views. There were people from all races among the movement. Some of the members even supported a reverse eugenics state policy to enforce the creation of a single Brazilian race in the future. Kinky 2bh.

Is this movie enjoyable enough for GS players?

HPM, are you still here from last thread?

If so, with the new immigration quotas reform, were you aware that the United States established relatively strict immigration quotas by the early 1920s? I know that's late-game and might not have significant impact, but from a historical standpoint it should probably be represented.

Best overview I could find was unfortunately Wikipedia. Note in particular that the quotas established by the 1921 quota reform were harsh (very limited immigration from places like Eastern Europe, Asia, etc.) and mostly in response to the rise of Communism in Russia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_laws_concerning_immigration_and_naturalization_in_the_United_States#20th_century

Express your concerns about HOI4 and how to fix them?

Following a large wave of liberal protests throughout the empire in 1838, the Queen decided to take action.

Gathering the Navarran nobles and her advisors into a formal parliament, creating a constitution to limit her own power (of course, not by too much - the monarch was still ruler by divine right), and soon allowing Spanish aristocrats and land owners to vote would be enough to appease the people for now. An in-house election was thereafter held to determine the first Prime Minister of Navarra.

After the complete failure of the constitutional process, absolute power was taken back once again by the Queen, due to the long tradition of infighting between Navarran nobles continuing within the parliament leading to a creation too unstable to be of any worth.

First, use the command tdebug and find the province IDs of all the provinces you want to move to different new states.
Then, go to history, and then states, make a new text file for the new state you're making (It should be 741ish, and then move the province IDs from the old state history to the new one.

Following the dissolution of the parliament, the right was instead given to all free men to meet in public, and to rally others around their issues.

If the royal family were to survive this turbulent period in history, they would need to hand some power, even if only illusory, back to the people, as the nobles had proven they could not be trusted with it.

that's the one

get to tier 3 on that and employ some engineers, maybe get a field marshal/general that adds entrenchment and you can increase your defences by a solid 40-50%, it's fucking unstoppable

really best for defensive nations like Poland or for nations that need to delay to mobilise (Russia/france)

>>145082871
Yes, in a way. At least no one complained to me about it and I didn't notice in any of my test games. Not completely in the current version though. One of the main reasons of poverty and huge communist support and revolutions late game is due to poverty because of the overproduction of a few basic goods. I'm aiming to fix that next update, but it's an arduous task and when I release I will probably have more feedback.

Luxembourg had long been a stalwart ally of Navarra, after the wars in the 1700s to regain their rightful lands from the imperialistic Dutch, and as a useful presence north of France.

The situation was clearly not to their liking, as the Navarran ambassador was removed from the country, and the right of the diplomat must be upheld. With Prussia siding with Navarra on this issue, the nation of the Low Counties has made a grave mistake.

Iron supply and production is largely vanilla and I honestly didn't see shortages before I started these tests, but then again it depends a lot on the playthrough, what the AI researches, what you own and whatnot.
Then again I remember two anons saying they got a shortage of iron late game, but none of them had iron producing provinces (or had in their core territory, as it was Brazil and Madagascar).

>not enforcing demands even after occupying the capital
I've seen something similar happen before and I honestly can't tell you why and when that happens. I wasn't able to pinpoint the problem or even reproduce it. I saw democratic Austria a few test games back, so that isn't something that's happening consistently with them.

HPM, I saw you talking about the immigration policy thing and I have a little doubt.

In the description you wrote it said that Open Borders either meant a policy of open borders or lack of any border control. Considering the latter, it seems weird to me that you'd have 1836's Russia (or other countries you mentioned) begin with Closed Borders since I'm not sure they had any way to prevent people from actually emigrating along their huge borders. I may be wrong, but it stroke me as a tad odd, so I wanted to know your take on that.

The problem with immigration sometimes is the fact that pissed of minorities move from their native homeland to the Americas, while the culture of said owner slowly takes over those places which is wrong, this is a good solution nontheless

The diplomatic corps of Navarra suffers yet more distress, as a treaty negotiation in Russia goes awry. However, this situation must be handled with more tact, as war with Russia would require much more of the people than a small exercise in Luxembourg. Regardless, the world has now seen what happens when the will of Navarra is not done.

Russia did it historically, they had control over it too as almost no Russians emigrated until the late 19th century. Then again, I hope the policy won't stop ALL immigration. People still manage to get out.

>Technically, emigration was illegal in Russian law, but the government largely closed its eyes and at times encouraged emigration, which began slowly in the late 1860s, gained substantial momentum in the 1870s, and then reached massive proportions in 1880 and early 1881, before the outbreak of the first pogroms that spring.

they don't need to give military access

if two people are fighting the same enemy they automatically get military access. it's a terrible design decision that can lead to some really fucked up shit

I assume you'll let Russia open up it's borders a bit by those years, or have an event give an effect that partially nullifies the closed borders?

No, if you REALLY want to make it an empire, take the flag of Yuan Shikai's empire

How the fuck do I get a Naval Invasion to work? I keep getting the attached error.

All the units in that army are in the same province, its a province with a port, and the sea zone they need to travel through is completely controlled by my ships and air units, at the 100% rating.

So why the fuck wont those lazy bastards get moving?

Basically the mod will add lots of various things to it. I will add other peoples' mods to it if i judge them to be for the benefit of the game. I am not a fantastic modder myself in terms of events etc, but I will compile other peoples' mods that are good. For example, I have incorporated a mod that puts Manchuko into the game.

When good national foci mods get made, I will incorporate them into the mod, unless they specifically ask me not to.
