Anyone recall the name of the memey Victoria 2 mod where China colonized California and the England/France union formed?

Did HPM fix the economy yet?

Most of the so called "flavors" are just irrelevant bloats anyway. The only thing better in HPM are the fixes. But the moment you mention you don't like the mod you are considered an evil steamgruppe memer in these autists' eyes.

Alright guys I'm in the middle of a French game in vanilla HOI3, since it's on another computer I unfortunately cannot post screenshots at the time.

Anyway, it's early 1940 and I have both Spain and Italy in the Allies since 1938. Now I managed to push up to a Karlssruhe-Stutgart-Ulm-Austria frontline in fall 1939 with my Eastern Army and the Southern Army (Alps Army + African units) attacking from Italy with ample Italian and Spanish support + the British Gibraltar Forces.

It was going pretty well since my infantry was equipped with modern equipement as well as AT and Artillery support brigades. They were able to hold the lines while my reformed&modernized 1st and 2nd Motorized Corps advanced.

The problem came when the AI sent all of its air unity from Poland back to the western front. My units started losing morale very quickly and I had to retreat back to the Maginot line (in orderly fashion tahankfully, no unity were lost).

Now I am constructing interceptors and TACs but they wont be ready till June. Any ideas on how to contain the German Blitz through April-May and afterwards?
Note that I did construct additional fortifications on the Luxemburg and Belgian borders (about up to Sedan).

Pls help, I dont want to have to evacutae to NA like in my last France game.

>>147289774

How do I make them be friends with me?

What do you mean by lure them into the mountains? They just holy war my western provinces one at a time, and the only mountains are in Muslim territory on their border with the Franks.

>>147291747
How am I supposed to do that with an army like a third their size?

Like with everything raised and my vassal levies I got like 1,500 troops at max, and they roll in with a 3k stack.

>>147291814
That requires having boats and the battles to happen on coastal areas.

You are right about all these things except replying to them. They only get more butthurt and shitpost more when you give them attention. They are powerless to kick HPM out, just report their posts and ignore them. Unless you want to bait them in sperging out, of course.

Set some bait, with some small stack resting on a mountain. Enemy will hopefully try and attack them. Once you're certain they've taken the bait, move your reinforcements.

Or swear fealty and ignore any revoke county messages. Build up the gold for mercs that way. Though expel the Jews before doing that.

At what militancy do rebels start organizing and is there an easy way to slow it down or something? I was debating adding a weird decision for it but this would be infinitely cleaner

I'm trying to make EU4 even slightly less shit/blobby/easy, and make its warfare more realistic and so far I'm actually liking the results. I've made combat a lot faster and chaotic, made standing armies a huge money dump in the early game so you're basically stuck with mercs or raising forces during the war. War Exhaustion finally actually fucking matters, battles actually give you good warscore and you don't have to carpet siege an entire country to take a single province anymore. No more weird arbitrary forcelimit because you simply can't afford to even consider a forcelimit. Money actually matters.

WEW

All of France was divided into fiefdoms, all ruled by different people with different laws, it was one realm in the loosest possible definition.

That was absolutely not the case in England. If the Bishop of Durham even tried to match the King's authority he would have been BTFO so fast his robes would fall of.

Can anyone explain the pros and cons of keeping vs. releasing prisoners in CK2? I'm Finland, and have been back and forth at war with Sweden multiple times. I now have the Swedish king's wife and two daughters in my dungeon. I can ransom them for gold of course but do I gain anything from keeping them captive?

>The lands ruled by the bishops became known as the 'County Palatine of Durham', a defensive buffer zone between England and the Northumbria-Scottish borderland. Due to its strategic importance and its remoteness from London, the County Palatinate became a virtually autonomous entity, in which the Prince-Bishop possessed the powers of a King. Specifically, the Prince-Bishops had the authority to

>hold their own parliaments
>raise their own armies
>appoint their own sheriffs and justices
>administer their own laws
>levy taxes and customs duties
>create fairs and markets
>issue charters
>salvage shipwrecks
>collect revenue from mines
>administer the forests
>mint their own coins
>For a period Carlisle was also placed under the bishop's jurisdiction, to protect the north west of England.

>Durham's exceptional status reached its zenith by 1300, when Prince-Bishop Antony Beck remarked that:

>There are two kings in England, namely the Lord King of England, wearing a crown in sign of his regality and the Lord Bishop of Durham wearing a mitre in place of a crown, in sign of his regality in the diocese of Durham.

You get prestige for turning noblewomen into concubines and I'm pretty sure they pass claims down to your bastards, which can be legitimized so if you rape a baby into a French princess you can later legitimize your son and push his claim on France.

Trying to hold of the Muslim conquest and do well as Asturias, so far my strategy is to marry Charlemagne's aunt ASAP and force France to ally me.

It works well, unless Charley expects me to help in his shitty rebellions, and since he's at a rebellion he doesn't send his troops to help me fight the muslims.

So I'm wondering, what if I get him to ally me, then immediately war the Umayyads before he has any rebellions to deal with? I don't care if Francia gets fucked up in the process I just need Spain to become great.

My point being that whereas the republic started as a democratic coalition of ideologies it became almost purely stalinist during the civil war; hence the switch to communism in game.

So I started the game, and the largest force I can muster is about 5k in peacetime. I'm going to take a risky bet and invade Hungary in the hope that I can hold off Austria to the south.

>>147303084
Because the Republic was hijacked, essentially. A left-leaning government was democratically elected, reactionary forces (much of which was composed of the Republic's armed forces, but also right wing and fascist groups) attempted a coup, and the Republic raised militias (most of which were composed of anarchist and communist groups) to bolster its forces. It essentially became an international left versus right battle since the legalist argument wouldn't really matter and the international brigades weren't made up of enthusiasts of the Spanish constitution.

Civil war does a great job at radicalizing and galvanizing positions, too, and Soviet influence did its part on the Republic. Orwell (who fought as a volunteer) was very much a socialist, but despised totalitarianism (to the point where 1984 and Animal Farm coined most terms and metaphors we use to talk about it) - he ends up describing a bunch of his disillusions with the republicans in some of his essays. "Looking back on the Spanish war" is a fascinating read.

If you invest and there's no competition you get a huge diplomacy bonus making them way easier to sphere. Also you get half of their RGO output. That last part gets split up depending on how much is invested and by who, for example if you and Austria both invest 5k then you both get 25% of it's shit.

Nah, the problem is that I started this war, I justified the specific wargoal, and there wasn't even any fighting involved. I wasn't asking for military assistance, I just wanted access. If the AI wasn't such a robot it could respect my claims and let me have the clay that nobody died for.

>>147312638
Still, Germany claiming territory would make perfect sense. They won't help your imperialist blobbing for free.

It's still your fault for pussying out.

After four years I can finally invade Japan.

Naval invasion was literally impossible since you need naval dominance, but good luck trying to do that against Japan. So my only choice was to start training paratroopers and building transports and fighters to airdrop soldiers to their shipyards, which gave me a access point to ferry my troops across.

I've been fighting Japan so goddamn long I've started to invade countries to the west while waiting for my air invasion.

That's where a chunk of giant rubber from the moon hit Earth you fucking idiot. Why do you think the peninsula gets wider and then thinner? Because a large round object hit it square in the center.
That's also why they can bounce around on the moon like that. It's like a giant trampoline.

I feel as though I should get an achievement.

So would EU or Vicky 2 be the best game for a true fallout setting with the start date around Fallout 1 and the end date around 2300 or so. I thought about HoY but without colonization, you don't really have the necessary capability to expand lore wise.

I'm actually really new to this. I started in Karelia, unified the kingdom, had to fight Sweden pretty hard for some of it, been pressing claims when I've been able. Also got a few tributaries. So I'm doing well?

Wew Germany I know this is historical but it was a bit stupid declaring war on them. Maybe I should let them die.

You're not doing it right. Hide behind the Vestula and hold the line until the Soviets finally run out.

It's the Expanded History mod.

Is it weird I killed more then a million soldiers belonging to the allies as a democratic independent India who just wants to be left alone? Ive lost just under 10k men and have slaughtered though I suppose it includes captured close to a million frencha and british troops? I mean what the fuck. Also India is worthless it has no natural resources fuckin the port of singapore is worth more.

Does it bother anyone else that the AI continually builds divisions until they don't have the manpower to build anymore instead of saving manpower for actual combat? Playing past the end-date becomes stupid easy because all of the AI divisions just end up running out of strength because they can't reinforce at all.

Two things one I dont own Ceylon for obvious reasons and secondly ya singapore has way more shit 850 rubber and 300 tungsten.

>>147317187
Shit, I don't build enough armor either. That shit is retardedly expensive in HoY. Even with two full factory lines going it's a bitch to crank out 6 divisions within a year.

>>147317310
>he doesnt realize how OP armor is
you can basically add some heavy tanks to your inf divisions and roll over everything

>>147317372
I know how OP it is, but it's still stupidly expensive. I always upgrade my armor ASAP, but I never build heavy, just medium then modern.

>>147317065
They should have way more.

there's JUST 50 tanks added per division if you just add one battalion bro, even light tanks and medium tanks make your infrantry stupidly OP. There's never a reason for me to add AA or AT and it makes me mad

60, at a production cost of 480 for a single brigade and 180 days of training. You could get the same effect sans hardness from adding rocket arty for cheaper.
