Does the addition of Manchuko to the /gsg/ General changes mod not fuck Japan over with the way supply flows from ports?

You hand their only decent mainland port over to Manchuko, giving Japan no way to directly upgrade it to the level required to get a decent amount of supply throughput to its troops in a war in Northern China.

I should add that Southern China fighting remains fine, as you do naval landings along the coast there, but the North is completely starved of supply until you can take the Beijing area port, and givben that China reinforces that area heavily, on top of shitty terrain and low supply, its a complete bloodbath for the Japanese side, the AI has absolutely no idea how to deal with it, which is why when using the General Changes mod, the AI Japan is even more shit than usual.

One thing I forgot to talk about until now is vanilla bug fixes. I fixed one with bureaucrats that made more difficult for them to promote to capitalists and find out the same thing happened for artisans. So both have an easier time promoting now if the conditions are right.

The other one was a bug that stopped pops from demanding the "good minimum wage" reform, which in turn made the AI never take it. Now pops will push for all minimum wage reforms and the AI will use them all. So there will be a little more money to buy stuff now.

There was a few bugfixes in HPM too, the decision for Kazakhstan to move their capital was firing non stop because the capital isn't moved to the right place. Still can't figure out what's wrong with that, maybe decisions have a limit of number of effects they can have. Needs more testing.

Are there any other hoi 4 mods worth using along side the general fixes?

Anyway, I still need to decide on the safety regulations stuff. I will keep factory maintenance and cost but I still need to decide the effects for RGO and Artisans.

Since the "safety regulations" legislation also involved indemnity for accidents, I guess I could keep the effects and to avoid people being poorer I could add a small pensions increase according to reform level. What about the needs effects for pops though, the main thing I want to get rid off? Should pops consume less, more? Should it change at all? I guess the last reform could increase pop growth ever so slightly as people aren't dying left and right, but that would be kinda OP. Would be doable if it was scaled with pensions spending but that can't be done.

Oi lads, is there anywhere with the BigSquareFrame mod for V2? I know a more up to date one is usually packed with HPM or whatever, but is that one compatible with Vanilla/other mods? Because the v4 package had both a vanilla and an HPM version.

No, it will include only Austria. The problem right now is that the greater germany things fucks too much stuff. Austria is forced to have less cores (and less money because of it) and use a CB to get their territory back while this kind of stuff with the austrian/hungarian province happens.

>>145753953

Also, for those wondering as to why I went with those three Indian provinces:

Mahoyadapuram is where Saint Thomas the Apostle landed in India and began his missionary work
Venadu has a shitload of massive, ancient Christian churches
Kanchipuram is where Mylapore is, and Saint Thomas died and was interred there

>>145755327

Updating it is something really trivial though if you use winmerge, I can do that for you if you want, but I can do that only after I finish a few changes before the next test game.

Alright, I'm gonna start as a Tribal character and go Merchant Republic.

But which tribe should I start as?

Some Finnic or Romuvan tribe near the Baltic?
A Norse tribe in Scandinavia?
The Irish or Scots?
The West Africans?
One of those tiny Tribal pockets in Nubia/Ethiopia?
One of the Yugoslav tribes?
A steppe horde?

Have you had any look into modding the focus trees? Would it be easy to completely rework the current ones and set up completely original ones for the minors? I'm not expecting you to do, just wondering if it's something we can expect from mods soon.

>>145755705
Ah thank you. Well since I'll be getting your next HPM anyways, maybe you can include an updated vanilla version with that?

I'm not actually sure what his differences between his HPM and VAN versions are.

>>145755725
Is your music pack compatible with the music that added in the general changes mod?

>>145753616
Why are they even using England's flag? I thought UK's flag replaced that long ago

>>145755924
Yeah; the music defs are easily cross-compatible; they got at least that right. So long as there's no file name collisions they should always be cross compatible (there's one song name collision, erika, but it's the same song for the same country so it doesn't really matter, just throws an error in the logs)

>>145755924
to clarify: it's basically gonna be compatible with any mod that doesn't add music using files named this.

It's possible there could be a collision in the music file names, but if so they're likely to be the same song so it's probably not a disaster.

Also, looks like I'm doing japan; any weebs out there got songs to recommend? Should I ask /jp/ or would they yell at me?

>>145756430
Could you explain the problem a bit further? Some mod you downloaded doesn't work? Which /gsg/ mod, the general changes mod?

There are likely one of a few problems:

1) they didn't realize it needs to be ogg. simple enough to fix.
2) they wrote their .asset file wrong or didn't write one at all. simple to fix.
3) they wrote their songs.txt wrong or didn't write one at all. Harder to fix, but depending on what you want simple enough.

Just my own personal recommendations, but how about removing the longer 7min+ orchestral pieces. I don't dislike the music, but when playing the game you often stop paying attention to them or become bored of them. Shorter music is more engaging and noticeable.

The low manpower warning is fine as long as you stay away from large losses. Maintain air superiority and add field hospitals to your infanty, in addition to using mobility to cut off encircle enemy units. I use most of the initial German manpower to build Infantry exclusively and then enact extensive conscription to continue with infantry and armour until left with around 300,000 reserves, which should be enough to easily take all of Eurasia while sustaining minimal losses.

War against the soviets ended up being around 150k German casualties for around five million killed, wounded or captured Russians, and that it would've been even more lopsided if I had micro'd harder.

I also had no ieda how bad the fighting in china was, their closing in on 2 million casualties by the end of '39.

this.
axis must hold moscow/leningrad/stalingrad/baku/sverdlovsk and soviet be >70% surrender progress. after a couple weeks or a month or two soviet union gets an event to surrender or continue fighting. surrender launches the bitter peace event for germany which lets them choose 4 options.

>>145761934
If you're German and you send a few tanks in '37, you can micro them and encircle the Chinese in the centre and the South to have the war over by '38.

To answer your question, there isn't a way to see volunteer casualties, but I think they talked about possibly adding it on the three day war stream the other day.

Nice work. I'll marry you if you eventually get around to giving all major wars event based peaces.
The conference system was a mistake and I doubt it will ever satisfy my border autism even after years of fixing.

Possibly the stupidest and most irritating offence I have ever fended off. What could possibly compel Jap AI to do this shit? It was just daft (Even though it worked to my advantage: crush one division, pocket ten), I had hundreds of divisions just wandering confused around at random. One of them went zealously north, determined to capture my port in Arkhangelsk – obviously a strategically important port for them in their war against the Soviets.

I think HOI4 is a fun and promising game at times, but holy shit does the AI swiftly ruin any enjoyment.

But it was in a way.
If you lived in a rural area and some asshole just stopped selling you coal and you had nowhere else to go you would go bretty agressive.

What are some good factories to build in Victoria 2 besides the liquor meme

>>145762791
"In a way" yes, but the metaphor would be more complete if the farmer was attacking neighbouring farms and murdering their families. The immediate cause of the embargo was Japan's expansion into China whom the US were close to.

Which is not to say that international relations were black and white, but one can't say that the Japanese dindu nuffin.

Indeed they were dicks to neighbours.
Tough luck for them that unlike English they were century too late.

eyy mate
can you please do this goy?

How do I get a non-aligned party in power? Seems I can't encourage that through government. As Romania, FRN(non-aligned party) already has a majority, but in the elections, I had to option to replace PNL(democratic party) with it.

>>145763650
had no option***

HPM release WHEN?

>>145763435
That's a valid viewpoint to take. But if you're coming from a perspective of Realpolitik, then any argument about unfairness or injustice in the US embargo loses whatever small merit it ever had, and the question of who caused war becomes pointless.

NEVER

>>145763850
Indeed.
Personally if i was in Japans place i would be more lenient in the Asian conquests.
China was already in a civil war and assuming a role of a benefactor- saving the nation from anarchy would elevate things a bit.

Even weirder thing is that Japanese wanted to immigrate Jews to Manchuria while they really hated Chinese.

Long time ck2 abstinet here.
Just pirated again and wanted to start a new campaign.
Which mod do I run CK2+, HIP or something else? I want to have a somewhat realistic game and dont give a shit about india, china etc.
