>>145657610
Usually there's some medium wars that release european secondary powers nad bring new players in. There's plenty of chances to influence the outcomes even if your armies weren't the largest ones yet.

Also one of the most fun playstyles is to change into one newly released state at that point. (the likes of balkan states, hungary, poland, ukraine) Super cool alt-his and exotic borders. And nicely hard.

Also aren't communists really trying to gain momentum at that point in the game? That's something even the big states struggle against if they lose a war and then get a rebellion

>>145657685
>No Italy

Hey /gsg/, I've been saving up and I'm thinking of getting Distant Worlds Universe.

Now I'm a massive faggot who generally doesn't listen to the advice of wiser men, and as such I'll probably start a pre-warp game, in-spite of the OP picture telling me not to.

But I would like to know your input (if any) on two things:

A) Should I run a game in vanilla first, or is it worth just starting with mods like the AI Improvement+Extended, and then Stuff & Bits UI mod?

B) While I looked up as much as I could find, I'm not sure if the "Victory Condition" (or anything else to that matter) can end the game, short of the empire getting destroyed.
If I were to plan on dominating the galaxy, would the game just end itself at a certain date like Paradox games, or when the empire's victory conditions are met, or can the player play on to take complete control of the galaxy?

If you're new to any game, best to start with vanilla unless it's a game like EU Rome, which is all but unplayable without mod fixes.

In Vic II?

If you're playing HPM I think you even cant release them as other than your government type, the satellites will be communist. I can't be sure, im on mobile. This is if you have annexed the territories first, and then decide to release them as satellites. If you just force others to release countries, I think they are the government type of the releaser - in which case there isn't much other options than editing the save file I guess.

Save, release, check? If you fuck up reload and try something else

Holy shit this is frustrating. There is literally a war about once every month, how the fuck am I supposed to have time to siege anything. Also, why the FUCK does my enemy joining my liege in a war, when I don't, end our war?

>>145659337
Because unless you rebel against your liege, you're technically a participant in his war even if you don't actively send troops.

Because you're tribal i.e. he's asking you to send your own troops If you don't, you're still '''at war'' with the other guy insofar as that guy can and will siege down your lands.

Alright, the poll is over and the results are in. 1066 won handily, with The Fall of the Komnenoi, The Mongol Arrival, and The Alexiad tied for second place, and Jerusalem at its Height one vote behind in third.

I am a bit concerned about the results of the poll, however. I know a few anon voted only for 1066 for the memes, and I'm worried besides that allowing multiple poll options might have tended to skew things for choices which might otherwise have been backup selections. So here's what I intend to do:

There'll be a short run-off poll now, wherein the top five options (so the ones listed above) are available for selection. This time there won't be multiple voting enabled, so hopefully there won't be any skew.

Whatever the result of this poll is, I'll play it without complaint. I just want to make sure that the first poll was representative.

Beria was pretty high up and could be seen as (at least partially) the power behind the throne, and was executed almost immediately after Stalin's death
also
>Tatiana Kirillovna Okunevskaya (Russian: Taтьянa Киpиллoвнa Oкyнeвcкaя; March 3, 1914 – May 15, 2002) was a Soviet and Russian actress.

>She was active in film and theater from 1933 to 1948, whereupon she was arrested for anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda, raped by Lavrentiy Beria and sentenced to ten years labor at Steplag. Beria picked her up under the pretense of bringing her to perform for the Politburo. Instead, he took her to his dacha where he offered to free her father and grandmother from NKVD prison if she submitted. He then raped her telling her "scream or not, it doesn't matter." Yet Beria already knew her relatives had been executed months earlier. Okunevskaya was arrested shortly afterwards and sentenced to solitary confinement in the Gulag from which she survived.

Isn't this Stalin's daughter? Stalin doesn't seem to mind at all.

>>145667128
Beria's sexually predatory nature was well-known to the Politburo, and though Stalin took an indulgent viewpoint (considering Beria's wartime importance), he said, "I don't trust Beria." In one instance when Stalin learned his daughter was alone with Beria at his house, he telephoned her and told her to leave immediately. When Beria complimented Alexander Poskrebyshev's daughter on her beauty, Poskrebyshev quickly pulled her aside and instructed her, "Don't ever accept a lift from Beria."[41] After taking an interest in Marshal Kliment Voroshilov's daughter-in-law during a party at their summer dacha, Beria shadowed their car closely all the way back to the Kremlin, terrifying Voroshilov's wife.

Play a girl, set your fertility to 1000%, marry (matrilineally) then start hyperslutting
If your husband dies but you have a suitable heir keep slutting around without remarrying
>Playing Charlemagne is a complete meme, and it'd just end with superpower Abbasids and Karling dominance
Play CK2+

Whether my character will be a default character or will be created via ruler designer will be decided in a later poll. If ruler designer wins, I guess I can include a poll option for my starting ruler to be a hyperslut, amongst other options.

But I'm not doing Charlemagne, even if I did CK2+; I literally do not have the autism to do that many years of an AAR. I'm not even sure I can do CK2+ with mini-SWMH anyway, and I'm using mini-SWMH without a doubt.

I have to admit, I had fun. It wasn't too difficult, mostly just tedious. AI is kinda shit, naval invasions suck.

mini-SWMH is the sexy SWMH map without India or the meme territories in Saharan and sub-Saharan Africa. I'm not sure if CK2+ uses an altered version of it or not--if it does it's on the table for me to use--but I don't think there's another map mod that can come close to SWMH.

>>145671796
No idea as yet. I'd like to use at least one overhaul, but as I said I'm not sure if CK2+ uses SWMH or is compatible with mini-SWMH. If it does it's a toss-up between it and HIP.

The NKVD Primacy national focus and Leon Trotsky leaders give you discounts on "subversive activities". Does this really only affect staging coups? If it even affected boosting party popularity, it would be great, but staging coups in 10% communist countries doesn't seem like a good way forward and as is it seems pretty trash.

>>145671906
do you think that if they invented bicycles in middle ages, would they use them to perform bicycle charges with lances? i think it would be a viable idea, as bicycles are more expendable than horses

Just wait until war with the USSR. The long haul towards the Urals and Kazakhstan made me drop my Japan game. Supplying 450 divisions in Siberia and the central steppes is a nightmare

concentration camp mod when?
would provide slight increase in manpower as some workers are freed for draft when replaced with slave-labour, but with penaly to production efficiency

I heard it was recon for offensive and engineer for defensive. What about the rest?
