It's been a while but I'm back and am nearly done working on a new revision for the America minimod. Most of the changes I've made deal with just terrain and provinces but that's not all that the minimod will alter.

The Canadian terrain and province map has been completely redone along with the native pops that inhabit Canada at the 1836 start. Much of the forests in Canada have been changed to taiga to represent just how difficult most of the terrain in the north of Canada is to inhabit.

In the US forests are a lot more widespread and follow the west side of the Appalachians like they do in real life. The Great Plains also transition more naturally and are expanded into Canada properly.

Most of the terrain changes in Mexico are in the south of the country due to just how strangely I did them last time. I've made the majority of Southern Mexico purely forests to represent just how widespread they are in comparison to something like farmland which is also quite prevalent.

Hey guys. How long does it usually take for a year to pass by on extremely fast in Darkest Hour on average for everyone? I did a benchmark and it took nine minutes on extremely fast for a year to pass by. Is this good or bad? I did a benchmark with HoI2 as well and saw that it performed even worse, 15 minutes for a year to pass by.

How? The city of Istanbul alone has a bigger population than Greece. The government is dominated by a populist left government who's up to the ass with debts, they would never find the popular support to do a war against country for land that isn't theirs.
To top this all, the Megali Idea is dead. No greeks living in these places, multiple treaties recognizing borders, all this time in peace and both are members of NATO, if we ignore the fact that Turkey is way bigger than Greece in the first place.

And with those settings ownership still defaults to Najd when you start the game? It looks good to me, are you sure you're running the mod or editing the right file? If you're using notepad++ you might have the wrong file open and edited the history file in the base folder and not the mod folder

>>148597573
Yeah, I was having the same issue with colonies in Africa defaulting to Kongo even when not bordering it. It's just the IDs seem stuck to starting ownership, and I'd hate make a new ID and to leave the troublesome ones dead, which would mess up numbering.

I've doubled checked file locations and they're all fine so it can't be that

Went to it's decision file to see it, you have to have nationalism and imperialism, have to own or sphere or puppet 794,783,771 provinces. If they're your puppet you shouldn't have a truce with them I think

>>148606193
yeah I am but it doesn't seem 100%. The names aren't quite aligned as in the editor and the font sizes need tweaking a lot. Also those damn ports. I swear it's completely random which way they face. The rules seem to change each time I think I understand it

I'm also not too happy with China, I feel like it's too thin and to fix it I'd have to redraw the entire Asian continent and edit other files like Terrain and stuff, so I just think I'll settle on it as is

How do I get the ultra-nationalists into power as Japan in Kaiserreich? I extended martial law throughout the country but I'm not sure if that's the event path I was supposed to do, or, if it was, who to support after.

>>148606662
I rarely if even play outside of Europe so anything past the Urals isn't my concern. Europe + Northern Africa and Middle East extending to Persia is good enough for me. You could triple the amount of European provinces and still have very good performance if you get rid of all the colonial bloat.

I plan to play Qing and the Russian Empire, so I want the borders to be as nice as possible. But yeah I'm a bit worried about lag so I'm trying not to add more provinces, but rather redraw them. My computer isn't the best or I'd play Victoria 2.

here's what I think I have of China so far. I feel like it's too thin and the western border isn't as nice as I'd like

I was running my Panzerdivisions through China (volunteers) and one of the tanks had reliability 100, so it didn't suffer attrition.

Is that always the case?

>>148607508
If you want to reduce lag you should try to trim down the tags, I'm quite sure the game has to run calculations and checks for tags that aren't even in the game. African tags like Kongo, Loango that have little to no impact on gameplay whatsoever can be thrashed for performance and you won't even notice they were gone.

Also, what the fuck have you done to Africa?

>>148607741
For some reason the trade mapmode really lags as the game progresses. I assume it's because the TI gets discovered. Also some pages in the ledger crash the game but I can't remember which.

I tried for borders! for future historical colonization as France, Germany, etc. As you can see I haven't done much with West Africa. Haven't even gotten to the Americas yet!

>>148607508
>My computer isn't the best or I'd play Victoria 2
why not play ricky?

>>148607658
So...as long as your you never have designs with less than 80 reliability and put a maintenance company on everything, you'll never suffer attrition?
That's pretty awesome (though expensive).

>>148608102
Trade mapmode has to load all the sprites/icon of the trade resources. Another huge source of lag are shadows, you'll notice this if you have many vassals/allies that constantly patrol sea tiles, revealing and hiding the fog of war all the time. I was playing the Netherlands in the 1600's and a month took less than a second and the moment I allied Aragon and got vision of all their Mediterannean scouting it dropped to 3-4 seconds a month, though I don't think this issue can be fixed with mods.

>>148608364
That makes sense. Two of my games were large empires so it spanned a wide breadth of land, and as the game went on I'd notice a lot of lag between months or when clicking on provinces.

I also made a stack of 1 million men once and the game lagged for 5 minutes while trying to select them. Had to disband them and it lagged another 5 minutes

How the fuck do I git gud? I'm playing EU4, and while I can be COMPETITIVE playing as Castile I can't completely blob all over europe like people do and like should probably be possible with an overpowered nation like Castile

Is there any reason that Europe shouldn't be divided along linguistic lines?

Obviously enclaves would belong to the nation they're surrounded by: IE Szekelyfold goes to Romania and Tatarstan to Russia

Also remember that Ukrainian and Belarussian aren't real languages and those areas would go to Russia

>>148611442

>>148615228
Just look at each province RGO individually. Propping up factories is good only duringthe early and nearly mid game. After you do that go for interventionism or laissez faire (although Vic2 doesn't represent LF properly so I recommend interventionism instead).

>>148615228
Build factories in states that produce as many of their inputs as possible.
So for a liquor factory, you want a state that produces coal (for the glass) and grain.
For fabric, you'd want cotton and dyes (or coal, for synthetic dyes eventually).
As for what factories, look on the trade screen to see what industrial goods have a higher demand than supply.

>>148615228
just start building liquor factories in the state with the most pops and build down

How come only certain regions are available for development? Is it a literacy or a pop thing?

We all know releasing a nation then using "The Great Game comes to x" to lose infamy is an exploit in HPM, but is releasing a nation as Britain then waiting until the Doctrine of Lapse annexes it an exploit? You lose the direct control over the territory so it's not a simple win win situation.

-play as the slav exterminator
-merge your fleets and set their mission to convoy escorting in the english channel and eastern north sea (press f2 to see oceanic regions)
-obviously do all the basic stuff like researching industry, training divisions, and setting up your planes to protect your naval bases in the eastern north sea
-when you get 50 political power immediately justify war against the UK
-set up a naval invasion to the naval base in East Anglia (circled in green), which you obviously won't be able to activate until the war starts
-after 125 days declare war on the UK
-your naval invasion should work without a hitch - securing that naval base allows you to send the rest of your divisions to the UK
-the UK is weak and you should be able to run them over
-just before the war is over you can begin to justify claims against the USA
-by early/mid 1937 or even late 1936 you should have won the war and annexed all territory in the peace deal
-immediately following the end of the UK war, send most of your divisions to the bahamas (acquired territory which is obviously directly southeast of florida)
-set up a naval invasion from the bahamas to some spot in the eastern US with a naval base like south carolina
-now just like with the UK earlier, declare war, capture the naval base, and then send most of your divisions
-at this point the US has like 40-60 divisions or some other low count and you'll be able to run them over (march your troops over the eastern coast for all of those victory points)
-france will probably declare war on you, which is why you should have 7 or more divisions on their border, which they won't be able to breach
-just before the US capitulates, justify war against belgium
-after beating the US, send your divisions back to the home land and declare war on belgium and break through their front to get to france
-EZ war
