That is the "close the border policy options" not the "Close the Border" reform/decision. It does something, it hides the border policy decisions. It even says "there won't be any changes in the border policy" in the description.

>Assert hegemony sets your influence to 100 but you can easily have minors that are below influence range for adding to sphere and.
Well the CB works then, as it works in NNM, it just doesn't do any miracles when you influence is extremely low.

>well Prussia will become GP in 6 months again.
That part isn't covered by the CB.

You can already justify a CB for it, there's no point in having a formable nation being integrated shortly after (outside a cultural union, that is).

You mean the primary culture of the Cossackia tag? Ukrainian. Yes.

Anyway, I need to sleep. Good night /gsg/.

Number to Assimilate = Pop Size x Base Assimilation Rate x (1 + Continent Modifier) x Total Assimilation Factor (as shown in game) x 100
So lets see.... thats in best scenario
0.40 base + 38% extra from goverment base assimilation rate

0.55% base * (0.75 due to Europe) * total assimilation factor *100

Now assimilation factor is... around -20% give or take

Which means...assimilation factor is negative for Europe every time. So basically assimilation for a core culture never occurs, ever.
In 100 years not a single person will assimilate in its cores.

So in conclusion if you added a cultural core for Poland in New York it would overwrite massive 10% bonus USA has and not a single Pole would assimilate either.

So basically Assimilation doesnt work outside New World and whole system is a joke.

Only assimilation you will ever get is migrating pops to non-cores, craftsmen trick or resettlement of accepted pops.

Well that sucks. It would be neat to actually make it work so more pops you assimilate the harder it gets. Like percentage based... like 15% less cultural core pop assimilation per 10% of accepted pops.

This would make assimilation stop when total percentage of accepted pops in those provinces would hit 70%.

>>148685410
Well, that's weird, thanks for looking at it anyway.
A bit more info that I think might be relevant: IIRC every single time the event fired before I picked the second option(because it reduces infamy) and instantly declared on Ashanti to get them again because hey, Scramble CB is infamy-free. It was only this last time it fired that I choose the first option, which immediately puts you in an annexation war against the Ashanti. I still haven't played 5 more years to know if the event will fire yet again, but I'll report as soon as I have.

Yeah. That's the point.
Poles in Russia didn't assimilate. Serbs in Austria didn't assimilate. Arabs in the Ottoman Empire didn't assimilate.

How do I kill off or banish certain pops in vanilla Victoria II? I want to genocide all mexicans from my newly conquested provinces.

Any mods that allow for genocide, or at least enslavement of unwanted pops?

>>148690426
No it should be so that the higher percent of accepted pops in the province the faster the assimilation. If your neighbors speak German than you are more inclined to learn it yourself.

Serbs in Ottoman empire became Bosnians.
How do you explain that. Or Silesia.
>>148690736
That wouldnt help with minorities.
Stopping at 70% would mean region would have it core cultures restored quite fast as soon as it ends up freed.
Also you make it so non core pops dont have scaling thing so they end up eradicated in 15 years.

>>148689851
That's what happened in Robmod. Austrian provinces that had 5 different cultures would assimilate at something like 1% every 10 years, meaning by 50 years in the German population had around 40% and was the majority compared to the rest all having 10% each.

V2 simply can't handle having any assimilation on culture cores at all.

Post things you want in Victoria 3

>Female pops. Women's sufferage actually means something, and they tend to work different jobs (textiles instead of mining for example.) Large wars can kill lots of men and leave gender disparities.

>Child pops. Education costs scale to their size and they have different needs (no tea/tabacoo, but toys/candy). How many of them work is reliant on child labour laws.

>Elderly pops. They don't work, are a bigger burden on health care, and pensions scale to their to size.

>Individual leaders and royal houses like in EU4

>American Indian Wars and native american states

>HOI4 combat mechanics

>Ability to set tariffs on individual commodities

>Ability to ban communities like Liquor (prohibition) and Opium

What do you mean? A pole going from Posen to cologne should have a higher rate of assimilation in cologne.

Why didnt he give -75% assimilation to Austria as a modifier until they become Danubian Federation.

On Vicky II(HPM), how do I:
- Get migrants(either to my mainland or my colonies) if I'm an euro? I already have NFs set, a bunch of social reforms and even got an event for +100% immigrant attraction, but the Americas are still getting all immigrants.
- Boost my population in general? I'm struggling to boost my military and industry ratings simply because I don't have enough manpower for my factories and army.

>>148691210
I dunno, go find him and ask him. Honestly if you have to manually fuck with country modifiers like that then you might as well just revert assimilation back to vanilla. There's dozens of countries other than Austria for which its a problem, along with any conquered land.

>>148690847
Rob tried immigration too. It was even worse than direct assimilation on cultural cores. Instead of 3 states in russia assimilating poles, poles would immigrate to every province in the Russian empire and assimilate even faster.

Basically any wide-spread assimilation or internal migration means the death of any minority culture in V2.

HPM is it possible for you to add an event for Chinese Immigrants coming to America from Guangzhou?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Chinese_Americans

>>148691243
Read the NF description, immigration NF doesn't attract immigrants to your country.
HPM works like vanilla, immigrants will only rarely go to europe. The difference is that if countries turn repressive in the new world they lose their bonus, so the most effect way would be to make every country in the new world an absolute monarchy or any dictatorship but presidential.

>a bunch of social reforms and even got an event for +100% immigrant attraction,

I'm having a weird issue with HPM. Whenever I go to my decisions tab, the game crashes.
I've got 3.04 for V2, the latest version of HPM which has the compatibility patch installed. Is the compatibility patch only for 3.03?

>>148702586
I don't see the mana as the problem, you need to represent some administrations as better than others.

The problem is that mana gain is dice roll dependand and only changes when you trade rulers, and there's just too much shit to spend points on.

Some of the new mechanics of EU4 could be used to represent administrations better. Somehow having a good kang alone can make your scientific development 5 times better, why does corruption, autonomy, development and universities play no part in this?
If the player had more interaction with how he generates mana, it would be much better.

Then there's how mana is spent. You use mana to lower inflation, advance technology, core territory, stabilize the country, gain abstract bonuses, and much more.
And all of this as only three different points, which you can stockpile for years and spend at once.
What sense does it make postponing technology advancement because you want to conquer and core big swathes of land?

Mods like MEIOU and VeT improved mana because they took away systems from mana spending. Vet had it so that you wouldn't spend mana to increase stability, MEIOU does the same for inflation and development, and used to do it for cores too.

What really sucks is the "mana dumps" shit you only look at when it's bothering you and forcing you to dump mana on it, like stability and inflation.

At least the next DLC will give extra options depending on the ruler, what annoys me about those events is that they're usually a no brainer, so you develop reflexes to click the least bad option before you can even read the title.

What ideas are better in EU4 MP? Administative+Quality or Economic+Quality? The first gives you tons of mercs, nice long time bonuses, the second several economic bonuses, some long time and +5% discipline from policy.

That's a good example. The development of the game does feel a bit haphazard at this point.
One thing I do like though is the national Ideas and Traditions. It makes every nation unique, and allows you to shape it how you want over time. It is flawed however as it is a massive Mana sink

I haven't been keeping up with the latest developments since I've had exams and holidays, will have to take a look at this

>>148706270
It's all too artificial. Playing MEIOU there's a tech level every 10 years, and an idea slot every 5 techs.
So every 50 years I'm already planning that I'll fall behind a couple of decades in one tech, because I'll be using mana to fill the idea I've unlocked. Feels like shit.

Don't get too excited, your ruler gets a couple of traits, and some of these traits unlock extra options, like in CK. Basically bringing a little of CK into EU this time.
Most mods already had ruler traits, though, through country modifiers.

okay V2 seems to work alright. How long does it take to play a normal game? 100 years seems short. Also how would I go about playing a game as, say, Poland if it is part of Russia for most of the timeline?

>>148706270
Traditions are shit though. Sliders in EU3 did everything better. Traditions make between 50% and 75% of the nations in the game something that no one wants to play because they simply suck. Sliders start you with a strong national emphasis but you can change it over time.

>>148706760
You start as Russia then release it.

100 years is not too short, you'll likely get bored in the early 1900. Time can vary a lot, if you're Great Britain or Russia you'll have to do a million little things all the time. If you're Serbia, you'll be running at 5 speed, waiting for the turks to collapse, or Russia to help you.

>>148707028
okay that makes sense. I'd have to changeowner and continue the game as Poland I'd assume? Also should I start vanilla or use that HPM mod everyone seems to have?

>>148707158
You can just go to politics screen and release a nation and there choose to play as them. Russkies have many minor nations in them that are fun to play, my fav is Ukraine

That's actually a good point. Literally who plays as some fuck-off African minor except maybe Ethiopia, their traditions suck. On the other hand everyone loves Prussian Memetroopers

I think it can work well:
>RUKER can have 6 Bird mana
>But have -10% trade efficiency
>Represents that he is interested in new ship designs and such, but bad at managing merchant ventures

>>148707417
>China
>Italy
>Great Powers

Arguably Germany and Japan can't be great powers either since neither has any real power projection.

>>148707519
That doesn't make much sense, if it does is coincidental, since it's all random.
You can't tie ruler personality to nation behavior the way it currently is. You could expect a high sword ruler to engage in conquest, but he would be a terrible idea. The need to core means you will want to expand when you have a king with high paper.

TOTALLY NOT GREAT POWERS GUYS

>>148707536
There aren't 8 countries capable of projecting power.

>>148707536
China is the world's largest manufacturer, and has the world's largest standing army and Italy's economy is larger than Russia's. Italy also has global "prestige" if we're using Vic II logic.

>>148707271
Pretty much.

In EU3 I would run a random country picker, play a nation and see what happened. It might take 150 years to get to some optimal slider positions but you never felt that you were forever gimped.

In EU4, I hit the random country button, look at the ideas, think "ehh, don't really feel like playing with this shit", then look around for the 2 or 3 decent countries in the region.

Stuff like -core cost or +discipline are so powerful to stack that there's no reason not to pick a nation with at least one of these powerful bonuses.

>>148707862
Yeah, the French really showed how much of a great power they're in the last years

>>148707918
China is a joke. It doesn't even have an army, the communist party has an army whose only purpose is to prevent revolt. Manufacturing means nothing when you only manufacture shit and debase your own currency to make it look impressive. They have no power projection past their shorelines, they can't even re-conquer an island a few miles off the coast from the rebels that have occupied it for decades.

Italy's economy is irrelevant because its Italian. Italy isn't even a fucking great power within the EU, the "big three" are the UK, France and Germany. If you can't even be considered a great power within a subsection of a continent then how can you be considered a great power of the world.

>>148707690
Good point. I don't really have a counter argument, however I do think it can allow PDS to tailor a historical figure closer to their actual historical counterpart instead of him only influencing mana rates.

>>148708150
ban assault trucks when?

>>148708326
You're expecting too much from Paradox. They'll just sprinkly a couple of minor modifiers as traits, and leave it at that.
But mods might be exciting, I'm looking forward to a ruler being born with inbred traits depending on the amount of royal marriages with the same dynasty, followed by hilarious and destructive event chains.

>>148708601
Adding to this, another cool thing could be traits that don't give a modifier, but describe the ruler's appearance, like how fat or tall he is, and the color of his hair.
Some special traits could spread depending on royal marriages too, like hemophilia.

Anyone know what the tag for Sikh Empire is?
