Gotta cuck France fast before they become unstoppable. Then Burgundy began slapping my shit, so I was focused on trying to contain them.

I've failed to contain them, so it's time to abandon my continental ambitions for now.

When I converted to CK2 most of the Kingdoms had vassals which were stronger than them and so civil war broke out nearly everywhere. Poland was hit the hardest, but after I reunited Hungary into a proper ally, the Hungarians are helping the Poles do the same.

>>148188362
>not converting straight to Vicky 2 and skipping EUIV

Big mistake

>>148187896
I have a love/hate relationship with it. I am trying to figure out the operands to limit what the AI builds so we don't have thousands of divisions slowing everything down. Countries such as Russia and China should have a lot of cheap divisions, but most everyone else should be limited to what their industry can support.

It will probably be about two months until Paradox releases the next patch, so it might be time to go on to something else.

>>148188485

I just bought it since I'm tired of CK2. Heard some good things, was I mislead?

I stayed away from III because it was very confusing and at the time I sucked at grand strategy.

>>148188485
What needs to happen is for divisions in the field to require upkeep. Currently the only barrier is manpower and that is a brickwall, but if things took supplies to maintain, fuel to run, or even just took a constant attrition modifier then eventually you would run into a soft cap where your industry simply can't keep up maintaining your army, let alone expanding it.

Also AI don't ever disband divisions so run into problems when they do run out of manpower.

>>148189208
There's historical precedent.

Want to roleplay as a comfy Turkish nation where some young Ataturk comes to power during the Oriental Crisis, slowly turning it into a modernized, technologically advanced diplomatic powerhorse and keeping up as a secular republic until fascism gets invented. What should my borders look like before I go fascist? Should I keep Albania and Bosnia, maybe even Bulgaria? Is taking Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan acceptable as I'd be a secular republic? What about the Middle East, just let Egypt keep the Levant and fuck it if some European power grabs it? Where should our border lie then, Adana, Aleppo or Lebanon + Syria? And what do I do with Lybia?
Also thinking about colonizing Djibouti, Madagascar and some Asian regions but I'm not so sure about that.

But that rebellion was followed by 700k jacobins that managed to siege the capital, I managed to unsiege it quickly, so I suppose that counts.

Yes, I've played about a dozen games, and I don't think that they have ever remained neutral. Sometimes they have been a useless distraction, answering the call of arms after Berlin has fallen, but if the Fascists win, they are Axis.

My moral authority is 100% because of how frequently I'm winning holy wars and how often my vassals are converting provinces for me.

Each province conversion is +1 to MA, each holy war is +3.

Furthermore, because I've been so thoroughly crushing the Hindus, their moral authority is in single-digits.

I also control three holy sites (I made a mini-mod to rearrange a couple of holy sites, including putting some of Nestorianism's in southern India because of the journeys of Saint Thomas the Apostle).

The end result is that my Court Chaplain has about a 20 to 35 percent chance of converting a county in any given year.

Kind of related, when I was at the hospital maybe about a month ago I met this really old German dude. Apparently his brother was drafted just before the fall of Berlin.

Some German officers came to the school, the principal held a short speech, and then they marched off to fight the Russians just a few miles away.

His brother was 16 at that time, and died just days after being drafted.

I've been at war constantly since 1615 with either France or Burgundy, had the English Civil War, TWO colonial rebellions, and Irish adventures.

I have had 0 manpower for the entire time.

France has reclaimed almost all their European holdings from me and Burgundy launches periodic invasions. But now? Now comes my revenge.
