>But what would be the effect then

Well first all the nationalism thing - Balkan people werent really working towards independence because of nationalism - they were systematically being taxed and oppressed to death by local goverments.

First Serbian Uprising was a local revolt on Janissaries that made its area a petty kingdom.
Wallachian uprising started because local dynasty changed and Ottomans refused to acknowledge new one

Greeks were Ottoman trade hub and due to its history Europeans supported nationalism.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philhellenism
Also Balkans had local bandit issues and these bandits progressed from local ruffians to local warlords to independence fighters.

Why did Egypt rebel in 1831?
Because Muhammad Ali lent his fleets to Ottomans during Greek uprising and Ottoman refused to pay him what they owed him later.


Point is - main reason Balkan rebelled was because it was opressed with Jizya tax and religious issues. If they had guaranteed rights, religious security and food 80-90% of population would calm down and go on with it.

On the other hand Muslims were pissed because Tanzimat gave rights to everyone and transferred game into secular one.


So basically - Tanzimat reforms should regionally incorporate different cultures into Ottoman empire - i presented you with a simple way to do it.

Militancy penalty for more and more nationalities given rights represents local muslim/independence resentment


You could also limit reforms based on liberals- more liberal Ottomans the more they can reform the Empire.

Alright, so one thing I set as a goal is to have 2 full armies ready to go by the war's onset. I have achieved this - each army has 3 infantry corps and 2 armored corps (1 light, 1 medium). Now, this second army that's currently waiting in Normandy doesn't have a defined goal right now.

It could bolster my forces in the lowlands, it could attempt to make progress in Rhineland out of the Maginot, it could donate a corp to defensive operations in Norway, or it could try to start an offensive on the Italian front.

There really is no need for them anywhere, as I already have all my fronts locked up from a defensive standpoint - the Maginot is held by 2 divisions per province plus 4 in Luxembourg, the Alps are held by 3 divisions on the four border provinces, and the lowlands have enough men allocated to them to put a whole corp on each province, all before allocating this army.

I will earmark most or all of my bombers to this army when I decide where it should go (except in the case of Norway), and split the fighters between covering those bombers and doing what I can to blunt German air operations in the lowlands and along the Maginot.

Peace conferences are bullshit.
Army Mana has reasonable conceptual backing but is implemented worse than trash
Political mana and national focii are disgusting and in every way worse than decisions, especially the way the AI handles them
Air wing missions are foolishly implemented and have a large number of issues, not least being unable to specifically tell someone where to attack instead of "north france"
Nukes do nothing to a city it hits
Naval combat is, as usual, shit
World Tension is trash especially how it's implemented and how peace raises it for some fucking reason
There is no such thing as a peace before annihilation
Now where are the reasons I shouldn't just play DH or Hoy 3?

I want to pirate the plant shekel pack because fuck Jewhan. Does anyone got an archive

>>150845945
That's a bit hard, but let's go with "it usually makes more sense and feels much less artificial".
For example, to remilitarize the Rhineland it a national focus, not a decision - this means you have 70 days of waiting. Doesn't sound too bad right? But after you declare on France, you need to wait 70 days until you can actually go through the Low Countries, meaning you're sitting stock still until then.
As another example, there is no way to tell bombers to kill the planes in London on the ground or a way to target a specific fortification where you'll be landing troops. Nope, you can only target entire regions now.
Then you have the idiotic 50% attack buff that 'plans' get. It doesn't matter if you've already thought of a plan, you have to draw it down and assign troops to it to get that buff.

Out of curiosity, why do the Ottomans not have cores, or at least decisions to regain cores, on Greece and Serbia like they do with Wallachia, Moldavia, Montenegro, and Tunis?

While /gsg/ might like the Ottoman Empire, Greece and Serbia only got independence in the 1830s (Greece got theirs 6 years before the game start, Serbia was not acknowledged by the Ottomans until several years into the Victorian era) after centuries of Ottoman rule. For the sake of consistency, would it not make sense for the Ottomans to regain cores (for high infamy) on their (at that point) recently lost territories? Just curious to see what others think on the matter.

Alright, can we put the memes aside for a moment and all agree that, for what it set out to do, HoI4 is a success? It gave us a WWII grandstrat free from all the archaic bullshit of Darkest Hour, and also much easier to get into then HoI3. Can anyone here honestly say they enjoy wasting an hour to fix their OoB every time they start a game of HoI3? Not to mention that, rather than needing to tediously micromanage industry like in other HoI games, HoI4's industry is both streamlined as well as more intuitive than the previous games. Yeah, it's true that HoI4 leads to more "ahistorical" scenarios, but isn't that the point? Why even bother playing the game if the outcome is predetermined form the start? Moreover, from a pure gameplay perspective, giving the player more options, whether they be historical or ahistorical, is a total success. Sure, Mosley ruling Britain never could have happened in reality, but it's fun to have the ability to easily do so in video game form.

>>150848637
Overall, I feel that HoI4 is getting a lot of undeserved hate simply because it isn't a total copy of HoI3 with slightly better graphics. Of COURSE the game is different - HoI3 already exists, there would be no point to making the same game again! HoI4 may be different, but that's by design, not by some unforeseen flaw, and it should be celebrated for the changes it made, not hated on.

Reminder that there's absolutely nothing wrong with immigration from East Asian countries.

>>150852246
Depends on the time. If you have less than 100 industry points, Laissez-faire is the worst possible choice. All it takes is the UK deciding to mobilize to fight an Indian minor to fuck up pop demand and jeopardize your entire industry.

But if you have around 200 already, it's probably for the best. Sure, with tons of micro you can be better than Capitalists, which is, I suppose, the intrigue of a communist run. But when I say tons of micro, I really fucking mean tons of micro. Trying to bring about exponential growth manually in all aspects is extremely time consuming, when Laissez faire capitalists can generally do well enough on their own, plus the bonuses to production in that policy helps offset the AI's poor factory choice. Also, once you hit exponential growth, you're probably a GP and likely a high one, so most factories will end up being profitable anyway since you'll trade at high priority - even at low demand, you can squeeze in before the buyers run out.

So in short, never use laissez faire until you have a base of 150-200 industry. After that, try to switch over, but be prepared to switch back to a more manual policy if things get sketchy. Unless you truly are committed enough to do it all on your own via communism.

The original plan is to have dismantlement tiered and GPs voting for the result. After the end of the war, the involved GPs would vote if the dismantlement would light, normal or severe, with a tie defaulting to light.

Light dismantlement would involve the loss of colonies, existing puppets and non core territory and that's it.
Normal dismantlement would involve the loss of colonies, existing puppets and non core territory as well as the release of non culture group tags (principle of self determination) and a maybe a small measure of industrial dismantlement with land awards for the participating countries.

Severe dismantlement would result in all the previous, some heavy industrial dismantlement and the loss of even core countries with the same culture and land awards even for countries that didn't participate in the fight.

The AI would vote on these choices mainly based on how much infamy the country being dismantled has.

The problem here is counting the votes and giving feedback for the player, so each country that votes would probably fire a major event so the player can count votes. The AI would also get the events instantaneously while the player would have a delay, so he can see the votes.

Land awards is what happens now with a few countries getting provinces and they need to be tailored for GPs or big nations, though I may add a generic border-seceding event.

A land award would work as an event for the country asking if they accept it. Based on relations, the AI will accept the land award or not.

So is Germany hardcoded not to declare war on Belgium so long as Luxembourg is not conquered?

At the peace conference for the Russian war of Kars:

Ottoman:
>well that about wraps things up, we cannot fight russia, great britain, and austria at once, so the kars region is yours russia
> i know it is a longshot, but do any of you want to help us in our war against greece? they are fighting for unity and joined you in war against us

Great Britain:
>no that would be stupid, why would we help you?

Austria
>no that would be stupid, why would we help you?

Ottoman:
>russia you've been quiet, and I know you have great relations with greece, so i am sorry for wasting your time

Russia:
>russia will help

Ottoman:

The point of the Maginot Line was to do just that. Force the Germans to go around, where the French could then dig in like in WW1 - except this time they would give the detouring Germans even more trouble, since they would be more than just expecting the move - they simply knew it was what they would have to do, and they would respond accordingly.

However, when the Germans attacked on a small front and poured through the Ardennes, seeking to punch through at one critical point and then exploit it rather than an invasion more similar to Schlieffen Plan, the French were helpless. They did not anticipate such a concentrated attack, let alone in terrain they considered unfit for such a maneuver. It cost them dearly, as we all know.

I'm doing exactly what the French intended to do, except I have the army and of course hindsight to back me up.

I suggest you should add all the cultures under circles in waves - make them a decision.
5 years for incorporation gives global 0.06 militancy, 10 years gives 0.02.
Once a circle is complete you can pick next one - delay non muslim ones until 1860.


Muslim circle gives global +0.01 militancy, non muslim gives +0.02. Once you get everything done give simple proclamation decision that Tanzimat is a success and give monthly token prestige for it.

Simulated unrest is handled by extra militancy generated. Currently giving -0.05 across the board simply means any culture is cool with Tanzimat around - even Hungarians and Germans and such.

Always educate heirs with grey eminence guardians (focus diplomacy) after you have about 5 vassals or more.
Medium CA should be max crown authority, except if you want to switch to primogeniture (quickly switch back, though. high CA will ensure lots of factions).
Get free invesiture, if you haven't already. The pope is literally useless after you've become stronger. Just don't piss him off too much, or he'll excommunicate you.
Feasts and tournaments for relations.

The steamgroup is an on and off /gsg/ phenomenon that has a lifespan of roughly 6 to 8 months. After it dies, there is no steamgroup for a few months until an intrepid shitposter (in this case, Cobra), makes another one.

Literally orcs, a chief will alwals rise to unite the shitposters and declare a shitposting crusade and then he will die and another one will rise, the ride never ends.

Radical Bronyslavia was created in the 11th of November, 2015.

Cobra's steam was created in 18/06/2012 while his co-adminstrator, BoxofPresents aka endkrieg aka XxXnOscoPpewEed420xXx was created 20/08/2013.

/gsg/ existed since before 2010.

Essentially their group and its two administrators are not only younger than /gsg/, they are younger than the release of CK2.

Hey HPM. I know this is a big ask but I'd greatly appreciate it if you could change the way trade policy works. The currenty system is completely unrealistic.

I suggest you change it so their are 4 trade policies, those being:

Subsidised exports:
Min tariffs -100%, max tariffs 0%
Used mainly by: some liberal parties, some conservative parties

Free Market:
Min tariff 0%, max tariffs 0%
Used mainly by: All Anarcho liberals, some liberals.

Protectionism:
Min tariff 25%, max tariff 50%
Used mainly by: Most conservatives, all reactionaries

Autarkic:
Min tariff: 50%, max tariff 100%
Used mainly by: All fascists, most communists.

I feel this would more accurately represent the real life implementation of tariffs and make this factor an actual importance rather than the pointless mechanic it is now, where free trade parties can have +25% tariffs and protectionists can have -25% tariffs.

Who /border autism/ here?

>>150855341
Will you add events for countries to lose their colonies if they go communist? Or at least events to give them more equality, maybe along the lines of the Soviet republics in Central Asia. Most if not all communists are inherently anti-colonialist I believe.

EU4 - How do you take over Ming as Manchu? Do I have to blob westwards through all of the hordes first? Or can I go super aggro before chinese units outscale horde?

This shitposting isn't even funny, why do you faggots do it

>>150865568
This. /gsg/ has been absolute cancer for months now, I have no idea why I still come here. I keep expecting it to go back to "normal" but this is normal now.

This meta posting isn't even helpful why do you faggots do it

What we're seeing here is a combination of vigilante justice by a few people who take anti-shitposting too seriously, and the majority are members of a shitposting group who have turned against their leader. The good news is that this should act as a purge, the shitposter group wil disband, and /gsg/ should be shitpost free within a few days. For now, all we can do is report and ignore it.

Nice mod HPM

>>150865778
How can you report it and ignore it at the same time?

>>150865695
This could be a great general if it could be around a 50/50 ratio of shitposting to game discussion instead of 90/10.

Someone who irregularly browses /gsg/ here, who is cobrah?
I know somekind of cringe bony/twilight lover, but why is everyone mentioning him here?

Nice post Rob

>>150865803
What am I looking at

>>150865861
I know. I've reported so many posts that it constantly tells me I have to wait before reporting more.

>>150865837
"Ignore" is a bit of a misnomer, but it sounds better than "don't acknowledge". Basically, if you see a sudden spike in shitposting, don't reply to it or mention it, just report it and hide it/pretend it isn't there.

They went to war with GB over liberia and rebels started popping when prussians occupied east coast.

>>150864373
Well, this would need to come with the related changes to pop issues and honestly, that will take even more processing power than it already takes.
And I still need to make socialists actually enforce a socialist budget too.

>>150865121
We had a few discussions about this in the past and I said yes, communist states will release their non adjacent overseas territory as colonies.

It's Xer, you homophobic nazi. Have you even asked him on which exact point Xer stands on regarding Xer's Gender fluidity? I bet you are one of those cis white men, who think that all transgenders are the same.

>>150866193
Will their adjacent territories become states like central asia under the USSR?

>>150865837
If you paid attention, he said report and then ignore. They aren't to be done at the same time, but in succession. You report something and from that moment onward you ignore it.

>>150866326
He actually has a legit reason, newfag.

>>150866359
No, they will still be treated as colonies. No free colonial integration.

>>150866475
There's no such thing.

So communists states will keep colonies? That's really not very historically accurate at all.

Can anyone explain the Jan Mayen meme?
