It "balances" things by tipping the scales in favor of certain nations at certain times.
So instead of shitty USSR ai now you got shitty USSR ai with free units on a monthly basis that plays like shit.

>>148999479
It is way better than Stellaris. In Stellaris it's pretty much unfeasable to actually conquer the galaxy due to the outright bullshit war/wargoal/alliance system and the meme apocalypse events. In MoO3, the automation features actually help the player instead of crippling him, and the whole economy side of the game is far more coherent and sensible. The only real plus Stellaris has in my book is better graphics and a nicer look UI, though even then it is far less functional.

You fucking racist bigots, don't you realise that communism in Vic II is supposed to be tolerant? Pretty much all communist parties in the game have full citizenship as one of their stances, and if they overthrow the old racist government they'll improve minority rights and social services too.

They only tend to be pro-military because of the rest of the capitalism world wanting to destroy them. Other than that they're 100% tolerant. I don't give a shit about the real world or whatever. That's what they're supposed to be in-game.

Welcome to HPM, where there are so few wool and fruit provinces in the world and so much demand for these goods that most low ranking nations won't be able to get anything, fucking up your population growth until you can fix it.

Basically, if you don't produce these goods you're fucked. You can get sphered by a country that has access to these goods, become a GP and sphere countries that produce them (such as Persia or Ottomen), or just annex these provinces by yourself.

You really can't bother with most countries in this shitty mod nowadays. BRAVO ALEX GRANDI.

Problem Moo3 has its automation is
-there is so much of it game basically runs on its own
-automation ai is so efficient you wont have ever to check it for anything

Equalizing budget? Automated.
Research? Automated
Ship design? You can automate that too and ai actually makes good ships for you that follow the role you give it
Ship battles? auto ai will fight them much better than you and you just give them basic orders what to do
Planet upgrades/buildings - automated

And this was unacceptable back in the day - Moo2 was standard 4x where you did everything by hand. On the other hand parts of it really feel like a Paradox game with pops any everything.

So what is your problem exactly?

To make a long story short, the Kalmar Union didn't collapse, and eventually the throne ended up passing to the Stuarts, so Scotland was in the personal union.

The African coastal colonies are part of Scandinavian colonization in general. If case you didn't notice that giant blob in North America called Vinland.

I find autoresolve gives worse results than even basic manual control as in in basically every game in existence, but it's good enough where you can autoresolve unimportant battles and not have to worry. And there is value in micromanagement especially in new colonies, but a handsoff approach is equally valid.

The problem is it takes a lot of learning to figure out how to make the automation do exactly what you wish for it to do. For the most part for an empire management simulator MoO3 does it right.

Also, even though autobuilding ship designs works well there is still a lot of micromanagement needed in order to upgrade and maintain fleets. I think there should be a space empire game where ship design/upgrades is completely out of the hands of the player, since generally it is a very superfluous feature.

And with pops the only flaw is the inability to purge unwanted races, or restrict certain races to certain planets (Mixed planets really fucks with the terraforming). They really dropped the ball on that aspect.

Also here's a commie review of the game, it's worth a read for the laughs :^)

>Gen. Kenneth G. Althaus was my grandfather..I happened upon your messages regarding him on the internet.. I am not sure what this website is about, however I want to make it very plain to you that my grandfather was a wonderful God-fearing leader, army commander, family man, community leader in Ocala, Florida where he retired, and in no way tied to Nazis. I was shocked to read you thought he was a national socialist. He was friends with Patton, as was my father (Col K.G. Althaus Jr) was friends with Patton's son Col Patton (later Gen. Patton as well). my grandfather was known as "general" in Ocala where he settled after the war. He became an astute oil painter and yes, he was responsible for the landscaping in Silver Springs Fl, years ago when it was privately owned. His wife, who was very active in the Episcopal Church and in DAR is probably "rolling in her grave" at the very thought of his having Nazi ties! Just wanted to set the record straight.

Is it just me or is tea a god-tier good in HPM now?

I remember that a few versions back, tea used to be absolutely shit. A good with little global demand and no industrial applications, you just ended up getting insanely high unemployment rates with it.

But now it's all different. Not sure if the actual demand of the good was changed, but I do know that many tea provinces were shifted off to grain and cattle which might explain this somewhat.

In a current Japan game I'm playing (year 1903), none of my tea provinces ended up having any unemployment due to low global demand. Pops still consume a shitton of this and global demand is actually higher than production can keep up with, and coupled with the fact that most tea RGOs are fairly large, it's just good.

Wished that other goods with no industrial applications (coffee, tobacco etc.) would be buffed too, these are still bad. But so far tea seems to be the liquor of RGOs for me right now.

No it wasn't fixed. The problem hasn't changed at all. Even if you westernize and unite Japan, you're faced with a shortage of wool and fruit, which you typically won't be able to get even if you get high enough ranking to become a GP. At least you can sphere nations that produce that shit to fix this all.
>>
>>149002489
Yes it was. Pops consumed more tea than fucking liquor. The only problem was that China had half of their country produce it, but researching tech could pull your profit margins ahead of theirs.

Tea demand increased late game because there are less unemployed people. The unemployed wouldn't buy this stuff but now that they have jobs they do.

Assuming around 2 billion people, though there's usually more late game.
Assuming the average unemployment before was 15% and the new one is 5% that's 10% less or 200 million people.
So I err in saying that's 200 million pops, I meant to say 200 million people.

Ammunition, explosives, fertilizer, artillery, clipper and small arms factories are still horribly shit in HPM, even if you have a large, fully maintained military, you won't be able to create enough demand to make any of these factories profitable.

How would you even fix this? I believe that any pop should be able to buy ammunition and small arms unless they live in a noguns country but I'm sure you can't mod the game to only allow a few specific pops to buy certain goods.

>>149003812
Readding 1861 would be a massive hassle. What he seriously needs to do is to fix migration already. Especially colonial migration. It's ridiculous to think that you can have precious metal provinces with the gold rush modifier (tons of immigration attraction, not sure how much) and get absolutely no one to move there. Or provinces with the population resettlement modifier (+500% immigration attraction), yet almost no one moves there either. They will typically leave your country instead, even if your province RGOs are good.

So regions that should historically be getting tons of immigration in the game (Australia, New Zealand, Hokkaido etc.) end up being largely unpopulated. Make the immigration and emigration NF worth something at least.

Assimilation seriously needs to be fixed too. If you have a core province with minorities living there (and they aren't the primary culture of a country that has a core in the same province), assimilation will either be extremely slow, like a dozen a month for pops larger than 10k, or NOTHING AT ALL.

I'm not asking for retarded robmod-tier levels of assimilation in which you can get rid of all native American cultures within years, but something better is definitely needed. Otherwise native pops end up being unhistorically large since they breed at the same rate of your primary culture, and still be a majority in many colonial provinces when it wasn't the case historically.

I'll have a hard time believing this unless he posts charts of vanilla tea demand and HPM tea demand. What's going on most likely is that RGO changes only reduced the massive overproduction of tea that sent its prices dropping.

I find economy in HPM satisfactory unlike vanilla and NWO

And he does try to balance it out, seeing he put in all those tea provinces.


But what i really should ask him is to do "manifest destiny" even for Indian minors

>get cores on whole India (like USA does on Mexican land)
>push Brits out with obtain all cores war
>in case of of a loss/white peace Brits puppet you and you lose all the claims forever
>>
>>149006541
But assimilation is broken in a literal way anon.
Core culture gives base -19% assimilation and such which means formula ends up being a negative number every time.
Below 0 equals no assimilation for cored cultures meaning no assimilation.

>>149006561
God fucking damnit no it isn't because it's just more time they both spend on useless fucking tweaks to this fundamentally broken game instead of adding meaningful content.

Victoria II will NEVER have a good economy
Victoria II will NEVER have a good migration system
Victoria II will NEVER have a good combat system
so why waste time trying to polish the turd when you could be

Fixing dismantlement
Adding flavour to more countries to playing as Thailand doesn't make playing as Vietnam redundant
Adding more major historical event chains
Adding more realistic but ahistorical options for the player
Adding content that literally already existed but was removed because it triggered his autism
Adding promised fan favourite content like an earlier start date
Fixing glaring historical errors he added in himself like population distribution in the Congo
Redrawing provinces to allow for better borders with alternate historical outcomes and more general historical accuracy

Every single meaningful change to HPM in the last year has been done by someone else, the Balkan minimod, the Taiwan redraw, the American minimod.

>that RGO changes only reduced the massive overproduction
There's more tea being produced late game than in vanilla since tons of RGOs in India change to Tea

>>149007125
i agree

most of the appeal that HPM has is the added flavor, yet he's delaying the flavor phase of the mod to instead focus on menial shit that doesn't change up the game

As far as i understood Vicky 2 does some funky things by having minimum pops that assimilate and loves to round the numbers. Otherwise i would do it already.
>>149007065
Well does 0.30% of population assimilated per year for liberal society and 0.05% for residential conservatives sound alot for you? You learn new language, intermarry, you could say resettlement also happens (and i cannot mod that in)... it simply happens over time.

Maybe this isn't possible but can you add a modifier that only affects small POPs? If there was a -10% modifier for POPs under the size of 100 or whatever is needed, you could change the core assimilation malus up by 10% without causing minority POPs to disappear quickly through promotion quirks.
>>
>>149007125
None of those are significant.

>>149007559
And neither are any of those.

The only good change HPM has made in the last 12 months (and by good I mean giving people a reason to do at least one more play through of this 6 year old game) is the Congo, and like >>149007125 mentioned he fucked up the Congo and then moved on.

>>149007675
It ought to be the other way around, a community of 100 ought to assimilate much more quickly than 5000. The smaller the minority population the harder it is for them to maintain their original culture, this is what literally happens in real life.

He has 20th century population numbers in 1836, which is acceptable if you consider the area won't be colonized till the 1880's, but he also has 20th century population distribution, take a look at the population density map around Katanga, you'll see the brightest red directly next to empty green provinces in Zambia.

He's entirely ignoring the demographic shifts caused by the Belgian-Arab wars that depopulated what was until then the most populous part of the country around the great lakes, and the largest labour migration in African history, when post WW1 the north of the country literally emptied out into Katanga to feed the growing mining industry.
>>
>>149007914
>people aren't modding for you
then why the fuck is the mod up for download, and he's accepted countless other meme changes like lowering the price and demand of liquor
>>
>>149007963
Agreed but this would only occur on foreign cored culture and is merely a workaround for the promotion quirks (bug really) that causes mass assimilation through promotion (i.e. craftsman trick). Because from what I understand the problem that makes assimilation too powerful is primarily this one aspect, causing minorities to get outright shrekt.

I know exactly how modding works, I have one in the OP right now. And I know that if you're presenting something to other people you should try to give them what they want at least a little bit, otherwise they stop liking what they're given.

Liquormemeing and t.alex posts are HPM's fault because he turned this thread into a de facto HPM development general (EU4 shit and shitposted out, stellaris shitposted out, every other game deader than vicky and HPM being the only interesting thing happening in vicky) and then stopped making any developments in HPM his audience actually wanted.

He didn't say he isn't doing it, did he? Even if he did, it's his mod. Quit being so entitled over other people's work
People will work in what they want and when they want if they do for free. Downloading it doens't entitle you to boss someone around
>>
>>149008418
Me and at least one other person has brought it up and he's refused to change it because there are no concrete numbers to back it up, there were no censuses although the migrations and depopulation were well documented in other ways.

With the Congo his only goal was getting a slightly better picture of the population of the country so he could represent Leopold's genocide.

I don't rank modders in leagues, people contribute the best they can. It doesn't matter if it's flags, some events or a total conversion. They are all contributions, ranking "modders" is retarded.

What I'm against is trying to dictate what someone should do or not in their free time. Sure you can say that you think this should be done before, but acting like it's all wrong because someone isn't doing what you want? That's called being a cunt.

No, it wasn't. Wiz changed the Moral Crusaders event. The problem wasn't one event, copperheads and every ACW event was still spammed to death until HPM did something about it.

Don't listen to that autist. You can learn some helpful hints from the guides but you will learn most of the game by playing and fucking up. You will not learn the whole game on your first playthrough.

Play as America your first game. The economy will basically run itself as long as the Democrats, Whigs, Republicans or Populists are in power. What you want to learn this first game is politics and warfare which America is perfect for because they're a Republic and are surrounded by weak enemies.

He successfully fought off foreign occupation by multiple great powers that would have ended in the partition of the empire into something even smaller than what we now know as turkey and then spent literally the rest of his life establishing a cult of personality and eliminating any opposition.
>>
>>149013632

His status as a war hero was quite important. Ataturk essentially relied upon a military apparatus with which to implement his new ideology- by tying this ideology to the military in perpetuity, he gave the military excuse and justification to continually involve itself in politics and increase its own power, while also using its strength to preserve an ideology that ultimately meant very little to most men and women in Turkey.

Started playing a paradox game for the first time today, how do I wage War properly?
First time I was Castille and subdued Granada successfully but then France protected Navarro, I will admit I got confused by the diplomatic options and thought I could tell them not to join so that was my mistake but on the second play I was Muscovy and I kept getting smoked by Lithuania despite equal army size and cav/infantry distribution.
Then I was just trying to recover manpower for the rest of the game while the Steppe-fag event happened where i just couldnt muster enough men despite having the money.
So how do I into War properly and whats a good way to control unrest without increasing autonomy?

When the cold war ends 1st world nations start getting tons of Islamic immigrants and their birthrates start going down. Also the LGBT reforms and Gender Equality reforms lower birth rates.

That's literally the only reason why leddit has a shakey relationship with him.

Though there is an ideology in the mod almost exclusive to Muslims called traditionalism. If he ever makes it possible for muslims witht he ideology to revolt in their European countries and form Sharia states that will probably be the final straw for leddit.

desu lad some of the more recent changes paradox made to eu4 diplomacy absolutely killed the game for me. Specifically the update that made it so you had to sit around doing nothing with your allies for 10 years before going to war with them, and where they get pissed off and refuse to go to war with you for 30 whole years if you don't give them the ridiculous amount of clay they demand in the peace deal. Absolutely retarded and kills the small and memey nations that made the game fun to play. Now if you aren't Austria or France or Muscovy or P*land there's just no point.

To control unrest though you need to put troops on the unrestful provinces, or just let the rebels spawn if you have manpower but not money.

Actually the migration thing starts as soon as the game starts, with France, the UK and the US getting a shitload of uneducated pops.

There's a button in one of the tabs you press that spends base 100 paper mana to increase stability. Generally it's a pretty good idea to increase it to +1, after that it starts costing 50 and then 100 mana to increase it further.

All the control rebels button does is make the army automatically attack rebels when they do spawn. You should keep it off and manually deal with them unless you are a huge nation or know what you are doing. If you put 1000 fully funded soldiers on a province that reduces unrest by .25% (goes down linearly from there with lowered funding) so you can use that to slow down rebels from spawning or outright prevent them in some cases by putting enough dudes on the right provinces. I am going to stop spoonfeeding you now, look at the wiki if you need to actually understand the mechanics of the game.

We are in a similar position as the world was before WW1. We have not had a full scale war between organized armies in so long we would have no idea what tactics to use with our new technology.

Disregarding nuclear weapons, it's possible it would cause very few just because the war would move at such a pace as to make 1939 and 1941 look slow. A fast strike by NATO or Russia could potentially drive deep very deep into the other's territory depending on who was winning the air war.

I'm not sure what the world would go to war over though, territorial goals largely died with the advent of nuclear weapons as the ultimate expression of sovereignty and it's hard to imagine getting that spun up about anything else.

At this time, besieged Suiyang had long been in a state of famine. The Old Book of Tang says:

(Yin Ziqi had besieged the city for a long time. The food in the city had run out. The dwellers traded their children to eat and cooked bodies of the dead. Fears were spread and worse situations were expected. At this time, Zhang Xun took his concubine out and killed her in front of his soldiers in order to feed them. He said, "You have been working hard at protecting this city for the country wholeheartedly. Your loyalty is uncompromised despite the long-lasting hunger. Since I can't cut out my own flesh to feed you, how can I keep this woman and just ignore the dangerous situation?" All the soldiers cried, and they did not want to eat. Zhang Xun ordered them to eat the flesh. Afterwards, they caught the women in the city. After the women were run out, they turned to old and young males. 20,000 to 30,000 people were eaten. People always remained loyal.)

Xu Yuan also killed his servants, which was recorded in The New Book of Tang:
(...(Xu) Yuan also killed servants to feed the soldiers...)

An explanation for people still staying loyal is accounted in The New Book of Tang:

(After the city was besieged for a long time, at the beginning, the horses were eaten. After horses ran out, they turned to the women, the old, and the young. 30,000 people in total were eaten. People knew their death was close, and nobody rebelled. When the city fell, only 400 people were left.)

It is possible that all dead soldiers and civilians were also eaten after this incident.

You think the Germans would have started a world war to claim their lebensraum if they knew that the nukes would start falling as soon as soon as they started winning?

The idea of a world war starting today over a territorial goal is absurd. The only way to actively acquire territory would be to diplo-annex it i.e. Crimea.

You have two real viable choices
Intentionally suck at the game, lose wars to rack up militancy (and if you want fascism lose territory for revanchism), have lots of unemployment and in general piss off your pops. Getting a fascist or communist rebellion is tough, everyone will be a jacobin no matter how democratic you are, but if pops are angry enough they'll be more likely to vote that way, steer elections towards the party you want while keeping people angry and hope for a coup.

Or be small, 1 or 2 states and use your national focus to encourage party loyalty until the party you wan't can't lose an election, then intentionally rack up some militancy (declare war on someone who can't fight you and then surrender) and wait for the coup.

>>149024346
You only need retoric of hate from Revolution & Counterrevolution and a reactionary party to do it. So no.

I was wrong. Almost all of the German divisions are commanded by one field marshal. Most of them were foreign troops.

About 10% of Turks are openly fedoras nowadays IIRC, the rest of them being sunni. Turks in general are much less religious than Pakis and Arabs as well, so he did help with something

Because they are ridiculously overpowered, they can build factories anywhere.

Also they don't get to encounter British ridiculous air superiority until late game and have only one enemy to fight (two if you count the japs, but that's a steamroll)

Advice on removing kebab?
I'm allied with the Teutons but they don't care about distant wars. Also, Russia is their only enemy, but they dont want to be allies with me (too far away). I've taken Innovation to try to beat them with tech, but should I westernize too to increase the tech gap?

Why the fuck not, immigrants can't assimilate into them anyway. It'll also help you turn all the Polynesian islands into states since it's nearly impossible to get colonial migration going as an American nation.

So when's the first dlc for HoI gonna come out? Put 300 hours into it now, and while multi games are still fun, I'm pretty much done with single player. There's only so many times you can wage WW2 three times in a game.

Are you sure? I remember pops being able to assimilate into Afro-American during the reconstruction period.
