EU3 stuff is really hard to find, at least for me. Anything on Google mainly brings up EU4 results and most EU3 results are old forum stuff I can't access. It doesn't seem like a big mod that the maker would upload to various places aside from the forums

>>161511629
Why would he upload to gamefront anyway?

Sorry but there was only that link. He did say people could use it wherever they wanted so maybe it's in another mod?

>>161511716
Wasn't there an effort by some company go upload all files to a site some time ago

>>161511364
The problem doesn't lay with the mod, it lays with the engine itself.

What's a fun nation in EU4? Preferably something small.

>>161511915
Watch some paracucks apologists sperg out on how using multiple cores on gaming is literally impossible even if that was proven wrong long ago.

>>161511915
It lays with the mod, if you stuff your mod full of random shit there's no game that can handle it.

>>161511716
mediafire and mega are really the only sites I find that retain links for a decent amount of time.

If some other mod has it integrated into it then I wouldn't know what exactly it changed by itself, which is what I was hoping to find. Comparing the modded files and the vanilla files to see what really changed. I can't really do that as well with another mod that has it integrated.

The Clausewitz engine has been around forever, surely it's time they developed a new one for their games going forward. AFAIK they're not working on any new GS games super seriously right now, what with HOI4 just being released and having explicitly said there'll be at least a few more DLC for EU4 and CK2 yet. This is a good opportunity to develop a more modern game engine.

>>161512109
You are fucked then.
Maybe you can beg Wiz in the forums. It's kinda sad how we already see information getting lost in the internet.

>>161512298
HIP/SWMH is based, M&T is based, any mod that adds more provinces is based

the more the merrier

>>161512362
Doesn't sound very profitable

>>161512360
Just proved my point.
Doesn't understand multicoring at all.

>>161512467
You are going to love the next ck2 dlc then

>>161512584
okay, i admit that i wasn't specific enough

"Any mod that adds more provinces my splitting up existing provinces to allow for more smaller divisions is based."

>>161512707
All these mods just add more province though, it's the same fucking thing as basically adding China to the game.

>>161512517
The only reason this would be the case is if they felt that the current engine is sufficient for their needs going forward.

>>161512760
This.

>>161512779
Constantly developing a new engine isn't profitable at all. Best way is do what they do, to make specific improvements for new games.

>>161512865
That's not true, long-term investments can pay off. The only reason they wouldn't make one is if the investment isn't sound; ie if the new engine is not a significant improvement over the old one.

>>161510420
This thread is pretty good tho
Summer was horrible but this one specifically is comfy as fuck

>>161513016
Don't jinx it.

>>161512458
Yeah it's a shame. I suppose I can figure something out. Is there at least a descriptor of what he changed or what the mod does? Like how it goes about making smarter wars? If you or whomever can take a screen of the OP post I would appreciate it

>>161513015
A game is a long term investment, an engine is just a base.
Their engine handle their games just fine, only case they don't handle it is when modders bloat their shit to death and there's literally no reason to do new engines because of retarded modders.

Gimme someone fun to play as in HPM. I love events and reading.

You're probably right though, the investment won't be worth it for a few more years yet. There aren't any super major flaws in the engine other than its lack of optimisation.

Reload any save from the last 10 years of any Paradox game, put it on full speed, and watch the clock tick by.

Then start a new game and do the same thing.

It always shocks me when I finish an old campaign and start a new one and I'm playing at double speed.

>>161514183
HOI4 runs a bit better because it doesn't have to keep track of very much, it only runs for a max of 14 years. But even HOI4 slows down a lot lategame. EU4 and CK2 do the same thing.

immigration is based on primary culture. It has one of the "immigrant cultures" so it does

This means that HPM could fix the problem of first world European countries not getting any immigrants by simply making German/English/French immigrant cultures.

Tragedy has struck our ocean-bound country

Ioannes was one of many to perish in the tuberculosis how the fuck do you pronounce phthisis outbreak.

His son was crowned Baslieus Konstantinos XI at sea

Now he faces his first major decision, already bigger than those faced by his father: perhaps God has abandoned us, like we are abandoning our homeland. A courtier suggests worshiping the gods our ancesters worshiped, but other think the idea is preposterous and utter heresy

That might be a better option when you have your whole army with you, but for normal colonization I've always gone with the pacifist policy.

>>161537875
Yeah its an alt history mod.

Byzantine refugees fleeing to the new world. There is also Albanians that come later on. iirc the creator plans on adding a Zoroastrian one too.

It lasts fucking 20 years though. Wasn't it supposed to go away once you're below the infamy limit?

>>161543049
Don't think so. If you go over the threshold you need to wait.

>>161543135
Okay, time for editing the save it is.

>>161543196
If you are in for cheating why didn't you just changeowner the provinces?

>>161542945
>allowing rebels to sit on a province

whew

>>161543230
I'm in for cheating if the decisions don't make sense. Why would that modifier remain if I go below the infamy threshold?

>>161543292
Because everyone still remembers when you were a dick?

>>161543292
Because they still remember what you did, going 24.99 infamy doesn't make them forget?

>>161543384
>>161543398
If the infamy isn't the dick'o'meter then what is? Seems pretty fucking arbitrary to me.

>>161543583
Infamy is but I guess the whole point of the thing is to have a more lasting effect when you go really high infamy than one you can remove by winning an easy war.

>>161543645
This comes off as the same kind of reasoning as "the AI should cheat because otherwise it would have no chance against the player".

>>161543751
No it doesn't.
What the fuck are you talking about.

>>161540668
In one of my games as Japan, I went reverse colonialism on the British by taking Malta and that one state that Liverpool was in and used changeowner to give them everything other than Liverpool (my "treaty port") back.

>>161543793
It's a really arbitrary mechanic that renders the concept of infamy and the threshold irrelevant, for me it's about on the same playing field.

I was playing as Persia and the UK put me in their sphere and my economy just tanked massively. What the fuck happened?

>>161543973
It doesn't tho, it just adds more thresholds to the infamy threshold.

The AI isn't cheating, the AI is subject to the same rules. Inf act the only one trying to cheat here is you.

>>161544016
Instead of selling all your exports on the world market for good prices, you have to sell to Perfidious Albion for pennies.

>It doesn't tho, it just adds more thresholds to the infamy threshold.
Arbitrary ones, hence the "rules that apply to the player but not the AI" argument.

>>161544016
The elites in your government sold out to the albion, all your people's labor is being squandered for british industry

Time for a revolution to clean slate

>>161544138
Do I get any benefit for this?

>>161544189
You can call the Brits if another Great Power attacks you, and if they themselves want to invade they have to take a small prestige and infamy hit to unsphere you.

>>161544189
Faster westernization, maybe.

>>161544180
Every threshold is an arbitrary number nigga. This shit applies to the AI too.

Whatever, it's your game, cheat what you want. You don't need to try and put a up a logic for us.

>>161544189
Don't you get their techs when you westernize?

And by the way some of the aspects of it are completely asinine, such as every pop having their income reduced. Or the -100% ruling party support.

Why though? There's nothing there and it's not worth any victory points. Controlling the canal is handy but you're better off rushing for Yugoslavia and Greece before WT gets too high.

>>161547876
>There's nothing there and it's not worth any victory points. Controlling the canal is handy but you're better off rushing for Yugoslavia and Greece before WT gets too high.
I meant when the actual war breaks out. You can bully Greece and Yugoslavia before then if you want.
I just don't recommend pushing into France until later since it's all mountainous and fortified. You could try a push along the coast for Nice and then flank behind the mountains I guess.

>>161548056
It's pretty easy to just naval invade behind their line and trap their army in the Alps if you send horsies and trucks.

If it's his first game though dicking around in African isn't bad.

I have an entirely roleplay related question: in HoI 4 I'm playing a France game and one of my strategies is to use my colonial troops to take Libya and then launch a naval invasion against Southern Italy. They're all Cavalry troops (for mobility) led by Charles de Gaulle. I know Tanks would be better. My question: would it be historically fitting/appropriate for French colonail troops to have acces to tanks and the training to use them? Or am I better off converting them to marines or simply keeping them cavalry/infantry?

>1459
>28 mil tradition
>rolls a general
>6 shock

Reminder that Rome lasted for 2,674 years.

>>161550959
Thematically they would probably just be cavalry. The French in WW2 were tactically backwards and adamant that tanks should be used only for supporting infantry so having entire tank divisions wouldn't make sense for them.

Speaking from a metagame point of view you should convert them into marines if you are going to invade. But the French probably would have invaded with just the cavalry.

>>161551183
Of course I'm roleplaying a France with a more sensible approach to tanks (ie. one where De Gaulle was actually listened to for some reason) so I'm keeping my separate tank divisions in the mainland to encircle enemy troops quickly. Assuming that's a given, would it make sense for colonial troops to have access to tanks, or would they simply be considered too backwards/uncivilized/whatever to have proper tank education and access to these advanced machines?

If that's the case I'll just use cavalry for my colonial campaigns and maybe convert them to marines later. Maybe not.

>>161550837
they tried

it's just really difficult and time consuming

>>161551392
Colonial troops were French. They're weren't drafted natives.

>>161551526
Alright, I was under the impression that they would indeed be drafted natives (or native levies/auxiliaries or something), thanks for debunking that myth.

What role did the natives play in the French military then? I know a lot of Africans were used during WW1 for example.

>>161551606
Cannon fodder, flanking units.
Depends from the unit.

>>161549858
I mean in the new Kaiserreich
With HoI 4 naval invasion rules it looks close to impossible

Even in darkest hour I never managed to do it without attacking Ireland first, Iceland is too far from scotland

>>161551606
They were there to add additional targets for the enemy to shoot at to reduce the chance of the properly trained troops being shot.
