Hands down, the only issue is that it can be painfully slow, you'll get half the speed on 5 as you would with any other mod.

I was gonna go on and on about the features it has but there's too many, I'll just mention one.
You can establish trading posts in asian centres of trade, then through spy missions, diplomacy and events simulate your merchants dominating them and subverting political control, to eventually seize the province.
No more sending an entire arm to wage a massive land war in India just to get Goa as Portugal.

>>152732209
>the only issue is that it can be painfully slow

Oh, I'm fine with that. With other mods, the game actually goes so lightning fast for me on the highest speed that it's almost unplayable.

October 27, 1945
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
Russian SFSR
Moscow
It's been some time since we have secured the eastern realms of the so called Greater Reich. Now, as we divide Europe with the western nations, we must decide what to do with the region. For quite some time Stalin has been preparing a government of Communists-in-exile. In 1943 we agreed, along with London and Washington, that the annexation of Austria was illegal and that an independent and neutral republic must be restored. However, as we now have control of a great deal of the nation we have the opportunity to create an Austrian Democratic Republic. Restoring an independent Austria would increase the western allies trust in us, however doing so would limit the size of our sphere of influence. Comrade Stalin has received a number of communications begging him to abide by the treaty, but the choice is ultimately his.

Stalin decides to:
>Ask Renner to recreate the Republic
>Strive for Communist Austria

In a prepared statement today Colonel Bibusa has ordered the nationalization of the liquor industry, as well as the expulsion of all Slovenian settlers remaining in the country, this comes amid a wave of sweeping reforms since Bibusa seized power from elected president Aleks Grandić and his ruling class of ethnic Slovenians in a coup. Among the changes has been the name of the nation itself, formerly giesgi, and now officially referred to as Kangzansheet, as well as the controversial removals of cement from state funded school lunches, which upwards of 60% of the youth population relies on for proper nutrition, and the state sanctioned persecution of Nazi Inspired Pagans.

So what's the deal with Egypt resetting influence constantly in HPM?

Do you have to take the Suez canal company decision to get a solid foothold or something?

>>152751027
Probably rebels or another GP

>>152751081
Well, is being on the 3rd Oriental crisis war normal?

>>152751637
No, it`s a sign Egypt is more unstable than usual. That`s also why the relations are resetting.

How do the immigrants choose a country?
The first choice is the US,and then you get more immigrants based on your rank?

Guys I am playing a comfy HPM game as Italy and Germany is becoming extremely Groß to the point that I am starting to get worried

>>152752587
Not necessarily.
Not necessarily.
It all depends on pops wanting to move. A bankrupt country not necessarily makes them want to move if they are still living a good life.

>How do the immigrants choose a country?
Based on their immigrant attraction. It's based off your reforms and your NV depending on the mod. Pops prefer places with employment and GPs, they also greatly prefer if you have universal voting. Overall, pops like liberal countries.
Your rank has shit all to do with how many immigrants you get, the only thing that can affect it is if you are a GP or not.
Pops prefer to go to the US because they have a few bonus related to immigration, like the homestead act.

I finished integrating AMM in the mod and now I'm back at doing the pops-names stuff.

I'm having some trouble situating myself in Texas, especially in regards to Dallas, since the river that goes through the city doesn't exist in the map. I'm fairly sure (using where the Sabine river ends in the map) that Dallas should be in province 43 (Tyler) rather than province 134, where Dallas is right now. Regardless that still doesn't help me to find where Fort Parker would be.

I've also been thinking about how to solve the whole Comancheria problem, and I think there's only 2 solutions: either the area should be uncolonized or it should start with native rebels.
Another problem I need to solve is the question of pop types for the natives. In the places where I'm doing pops, natives lose their intellectuals and artisan pops and instead only have 3 types: Aristocrats, Soldiers and Farmers.
The problem of state-paid native intellectuals in the american frontier is kinda obvious while native artisans would have access to all of US technology to build shit, so natives in Walla Walla could build artillery or machine parts for the US government. This also helps performance but still creates a problem with promotion though, as natives promoting to artisans would assimilate in yankee. Though lately I've been considering stopping the whole assimilation-on-promotion thing.

Anyway, I will go back at trying to figure out where places are in Texas and putting some primary culture pops in places where there are only natives, granted that there were colonists there in the first place.

I didn't give a fuck about history before playing GS so I didn't know shit (I still don't know shit). I think it was through EU4 that I learned that the Holy Roman Empire wasn't a unified state, but a collection of states. In fact there are a lot of unified nations today that I had no idea were fractured back then. It made me realize just how many different nations existed throughout that time period.

Also you might read and hear about that sort of stuff but GS helps put it into a visual perspective.

It makes no sense for him to bring it up again since it's easy to fill a fake take down report and remove it again. Apparently the guy who reported the archive believes he's somehow getting back at archiveguy by denying /gsg/ an archive, for some reason.

Changing subject, I found out another vanilla bug. The modifier can_build_factory = no doesn't work properly, no matter if you are an unciv, a civ, your economic policy or if it's a colonial state or not. As a result a few modifiers are completely useless since they can never happen.
Fixing it is fairly easy since I can use economic policy, civilization status and/or colonial checks, but I'm not sure what was Paradox original intent with it: to limit by economic policy, by civilization status or by colonial status, by all three or by a combination of these.

The modifiers affected that I discovered are:
A +10% for artisan promotion if a state has no factories and can_build_factory = no
A -40% for craftsmen promotion in the same conditions.
A modifier that completely stops a farmer/labourer pop from moving to a province where there is 10% or more unemployment, no factories and the can_build_factory = no modifier.

All in all they are pretty important, especially the pops moving to a province thing. There's probably a few more modifiers I can find about it in other poptypes files too.

I'm still not sure about this, at least for artisans since it will be, by far, the biggest promotion modifier.
The expected result would be a move to more urban, artisan-dominated provinces in provinces that can't build factories/governments that can't build factories and basically more industrial output.

>>152760440
>HPM, can you reshape Uruguay's provinces? They look like shit.

Even when I checked after they jumped in their was still no sphering or alliance). So far its happened for released albania against greece, brazil against peru, and now spain against snp.
I dont remember as a gp in my first run as the USA being able to just jump into a war because I felt like it.

Well if you are serious - GPs can intervene in wars that have "Friendly" influence relations if friendly nation has no wargoals (like defending) and is losing.

I guess that's almost everything in Texas for now. Clarskville turn to Dallas, Fort Parker turn to Abilene, Llano Estacado turns to Lubbock. Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and El Paso get +5 LR to a total of 40 one the US uses the "american frontier" decision while Austin gets the same once oil is discovered there. That may change as I tie those LRs to the pacification of the Comancheria.

The Comancheria will be represented as rebels, there's actually rebel types for Apache and Sioux in the vanilla files, but their modifiers are so low they don't ever appear.
There's a few problems with that though. Having the Comanches as rebels mean Texas can pacify them by passing reforms, which really doesn't make sense.
Technically the best solution would be making them their own tag, though making a tag for about 20K people (or 5K pops) is complicated. Though to be fair, the population of texas need to be dropped to 50K (or 12.5K pops).

Though to be fair, the population of texas need to be dropped to 50K (or 12.5K pops).
Was it really that depopulated? How do you even run a country that big with that amount of people?

>In 1836 there were probably 5,000 blacks, 30,000 Anglo-Americans, 3,470 Hispanics, and 14,200 Indians in Texas.
I'm talking about historical texas only, not the full state.

Maranhao with Piaui and Rio Grande do norte, Paraiba, Pernambuco, Alagoas and Sergie.


I agree that Alagoas and Sergipe is too few in pops and dont deserve a single province but it's Historical.

>>152764881
I can't find these provinces.

Those are states, not provinces.
I already said I won't make any of these. I won't make one or two province states or states with small population. States in the game are not supposed to be 1:1 representations of historical states.

>>152765204
Greenland isn't an unciv.

>>152765316
no need to be rude about it

>>152765316
So you're telling me that Greenland should forever be Danish, regardless of how the game progresses?

>>152765316
Sorry...States.

Yet i think it should be divided.

>>152760724
More region isnt a buff you dumb monkey it's a Nerf.

And im the dumb monkey.

You could use that argument for any country. You could conquer Japan as Russia, genocide most pops, get a lot of russians to move there and demand that Japan be released with Russian primary.
You could argue the same with Uruguay, Nicaragua or any small country really.

That's why there are some "hard rules", and one of them is "no primary culture flip for civilized nations".

>>152765917
What did he meme by this?

>>152765919
HPM there's a possibility to expand slavery to states that are not slave states?

>>152766076
Yes. When aristocrats move they take slave pops with them.

>>152765919
Greenland is a colonial possession though, and has experienced a shift to native rule and from Danish to Inuit.

There should be a way to switch primary to Inuit and remove Danish from accepted, not change it to your primary culture.

Rather than your ham fisted genocide metaphor a more apt one would be removing the English from Zimbabwe and changing the primary culture to a black one.

>>152766120
>Yes. When aristocrats move they take slave pops with them.

Thank you HPM.

>>152766120
Another question!! There's a way to send you pops to you colonies?

I dont the logical of colonial migratrion in-game.

>>152765919
Greenland shouldn't even be a civilized tag, it was a colony where 90% of the population were essentially u contacted natives living as subsistence hunters until WWII, and it's move towards home rule is decolonization with the replacement of Danes and the Danish language with natives and native languages.

One head falls, two take it's place. Just in case there's some new person who doesn't have it yet...
