Apparently there was a historical French Louisiana flag. They used the Royal Standard according to >wikipedia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_(New_France)#/media/File:Royal_Standard_of_King_Louis_XIV.svg
The flag you use is the flag of New Orleans, which is also a fine choice.

However, for republican Louisiana why not use the historical flag of Louisiana during the Civil War? You could perhaps switch the golden star for a white fleur de lis. Or I can do it myself.

>>161598483
Can you add a swastika or similar cool symbol to the fascist Afghanistan flag?

>>161598607
Well, I can do it in a non serious way just for you if you wish me to. But if you mean do it for the flag in the pack, I would, but I haven't been able to find a "fascist Afghan" symbol, if there even is one, so for now I'll leave the flag as is.

Intervening in the U.S.
I am guessing Muzzle+Breachloaders?

I wish I had more soldiers, but with new updates I am getting super slow soldiers and education it seems like even when I got rid of slavery ASAP. By this time last game, I had 60 and this one I am barely scraping by with 30.

I'd like to keep the CSA alive, long enough to gobble up my previous colonies from the U.S. Hoping the Peru event fires for the cheap puppet. Question is, Humiliate, or spend the infamy for a Cut-Down to Size on the U.S?

HPM, if you're here, I'd like to make a proposition to add some Kafiristani pops to Jalalabad province in Afghanistan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafiristan
If we assume that the population distribution in Afghanistan is relatively the same today as it was in 1836, it would not be unreasonable to add around 1000 Hindu farmer pops.
Though I'm not entirely sure what their culture would be. According to wikipedia, it could be anything from Greek to Tamil, but I think that Hindustani or something would be the safest choice.

It's a problem in the CB, acquire_all_cores. AMM set a war to start with that CB but the CB seems a bit wrong. Either that or its a problem on how fast cores are issues.

I will take a look at it later. For now you could copy the can_use of acquire_any_state to the CB, I think that should do it.

Two requests:
>Tweak Carlism events to be more interesting
Republican spain has a couple chains that affect, where they lose accepted cultures. Carlist spain has.. reclaiming colonies?
>CSA starts as a substate for six months
CSA gets swamped in war before they can even mobilize by the U.S. Letting them start as a substate, would allow them to build up an army to atleast distract before they can mobilize so the war isn't resolved by christmas when it fires.

>>161600920

Hey HPM. Surely you can create some sort of system where France either doesn't start the 10th French liberation of Alsace-Lorraine every game or they lose their cores or something, right?

They're absolutely suicidal when it comes to getting that strip of land back and it triggers my autism.

Friendly reminder that ships used fuel as coal until after WW1. Especially battleships and dreadnoughts.

>>161602505

>>161602421
Thats historically accurate.
Great War will wipe the cores.

Im more sad HPM doesnt provide any way to improve population growth in France or Napoleonic border cores.

The black sun is a specifically European symbol. As for the Zoroastrian one, I'm not too sure Zoroastrianism was any close to being a thing in Afghanistan by the time fascism rolled around.

>>161612984
well i looked into it and I have no idea where I read it. Basically Hitler had a kind of hatred/fear/admiration for the "American Union" at various times on various aspects. As a population he believed they were all controlled by the Jewry, at the same time he believed the aryan immigrants were the master of America. he felt that America would eventually overtake european powers if they remained as they were in the 30s. But he definitely didn't have a good view of the experiment in multiculralism considering the slavs, jews, and other undesirables

HPM is it possible to annex only part of a state? I did the grob-Iran decision as Persia and got cores on only part of the states of Georgia and North Caucasia. Russia fully owns both of those states yet I can't take just my part from the without taking the full state.

>It is revolting to think how much damage is indirectly done to German prestige today through the fact that the German patois of the Jews when they enter the United States enables them to be classed as Germans, because many Americans are quite ignorant of German conditions. Among us, nobody would think of taking these unhygienic immigrants from the East for members of the German race and nation merely because they mostly speak German
>Jews control the financial forces of America on the stock exchange. Year after year the Jew increases his hold on Labor in a nation of 120 million souls.

Well we are assuming the CSA starts to revolt because of an election. Release them a substate that starts expanding from an epicenter that causes the amount of states ready to break off.

All the while, they are building up their military followed by a fort sumter-like event that kicks off the war. Maybe even give them some free resources to make sure they can supply the army building?

Perhaps even include things like mid-war liberation of their cores?

It's not really my favorite solution because it gives GPs the time to start influencing the CSA before the start. They will probably spawn in the US's sphere with full relation and influence so they can ban other countries but the problem will still be there. It's also a big warning that the ACW is about to happen, but it's the only way to give the CSA a bite when fighting.
They already get some free resources IIRC. If they get free before I don't believe they will anymore though.

As you know, there is a large Pashto community in Pakistan already.

Actually it should be removed from battleships only, since the pre-dreadnoughts really didn't use it. But dreadnoughts do use it, even in vanilla and besides it would make fuel useless if no ships would use it.

Tanks and planes use fuel as maintenace goods don't they? And besides can't you make so that units start requiring a different maintenance good past a certain date? And no ship should require fuel for being built anyway if you ask me.

>>161624623

Could the influence thing be solved by an event that gives -600 influence and then +300 to normalize it? Or would that break something?
I wasn't sure if the CSA had resource issues, but then I never get to see them build artillery since they get swamped in the first war. Once they have build up they preform decently against the US.
>Mid-war liberation of cores
Those states like Maryland that were slave states, but were on the fence and didn't have a loud vocal plurality throwing behind the CSA. If they were to liberate those states, it would have been a boon somehow to the confederacy since those were areas with sizable populations favoring them.

>>161625175
When Pakistan was being formed, there was a sizable(although obviously not successful) movement for Afghanistan to join, and Afghanistan already had a country at the time. As I said before, if the Pashtuns were deprived of a country, they would likely rally behind a united front against the British and non-Muslims rather than fight alone for Afghanistan.

For example, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khan_Abdul_Ghaffar_Khan was a prominent Pashtun nationalist who advocated for Afghanistan to join Pakistan.

Yes they do require oil.

good idea. they need something to marinate their cement with after all

>>161625406
Actually they consume fuel.

>Between the 1860s and the 1880s the wages of average US workers grew by a third, making us three times more expensive than your typical Norwegian seaman. Whales aren't national resources. They're supranational resources. They belong to whomever can hunt them most efficiently. With all the benefits of modern whaling technology and workers at a third the price, Norway and other countries snagged a greater share of the world's whales.

>As the costs of whaling grew, capitalists funneled their cash into other domestic industries: notably railroads, oil, and steel.

>>161625698
you know I was about to say I liked it but then I remembered those are very ancient indo-european homelands and that turkics were a mistake of god

ahh yes nothing washes down a hot plate of cement like oil

>>161625406
They try to get fuel as luxury needs for their cars but the bulk of the population, being in the poor strata, rarely earns enough to buy cars or fuel.

>>161625357
Yeah but making it require luxury clothes would mean only rich countries would be able to keep these units supplied and would detract from the regular clothes market.

>>161625480
>Tanks and planes use fuel as maintenace goods don't they?
And the problem exists, fuel is usually oversupplied by late game. Taking off dreadnoughts would just make it worse.

>can't you make so that units start requiring a different maintenance good past a certain date?
No, I can't.

>And no ship should require fuel for being built anyway if you ask me.
It's in since vanilla and it kinda makes sense, they start being able to move out, they need fuel.

>>161625487
>Could the influence thing be solved by an event that gives -600 influence and then +300 to normalize it? Or would that break something?
It would still happen. If you brought the influence to -200 from -300, for example, when you gave it +300 to normalize the net gain would be +100 for you.
Better not even mess with that.

>but then I never get to see them build artillery since they get swamped in the first war.
They get artillery too, but they don't have the time to build it.

>Those states like Maryland that were slave states, but were on the fence and didn't have a loud vocal plurality throwing behind the CSA. If they were to liberate those states, it would have been a boon somehow to the confederacy since those were areas with sizable populations favoring them.
Well if they have cores in a location they can always add a wargoal, though starting with non liberated cores will just fuck them in the long run since they won't be able to remove US cores from their land.

>After partition, Badshah Khan pledged allegiance to Pakistan and demanded an autonomous "Pashtunistan" administrative unit within the country,
I think he was advocating for an autonomous province in Pakistan pashtun area, not to Pakistan to absorb Afghanistan.

And?

How? Isn't most regular clothes demand from pops?

ohhh boy nothing like eating planes on a friday

>>161625937

Wait, hold on I am retarded here my bad
>Force a hostile
>Push relations to normal
>dow on the U.S
Would the system just fuck up all that influence juggling?

Also, what i mean is that slave owners in Maryland that didn't join the confederacy when it first formed up could switch mid-war if the confederates took it over. For example, Virginia joined the confederacy at the last second, which most of the slave states were waiting to see the results since it was by far the biggest and most influential.

Cant you add superficial good demand per country? Like hidden things that chug out oil based on your total pop that triggers with specific tech.

>turkics were a mistake of god
Actually turks are a deliberate creation of Zeus ("tengri") cast upon the world to punish Europeans for worshipping a kike on a stick instead of the real gods

>>161626078
>And?
And I don't want that.

>How? Isn't most regular clothes demand from pops?
Yes, it is. It's more because of the first problem anyway.

>>161626132
Yeah it would, it's what you suggested before. You can't even check how much influence a country has on another.

>Also, what i mean is that slave owners in Maryland that didn't join the confederacy when it first formed up could switch mid-war if the confederates took it over. For example, Virginia joined the confederacy at the last second, which most of the slave states were waiting to see the results since it was by far the biggest and most influential.
Like a decision that flips a state to them mid-war if they have cores there? That could work.


>>161626151
No.

>>161626013
I think what you should since we are dealing in hypotheticals is: if Britain (or another power) controls all Pakistan cores along with Afghanistan, then:
Pakistan gets cores on Afghanistan while Afghanistan gets cores on all Pashtun areas (basically Greater Afghanistan decision). If the the countries are released by dismantlement, then Afghanistan will take precedence and get all of its cores first before Pakistan is released, which will just leave it with Punjab, Kashmir, Sindh, and Baluchistan.

>>161626274
>that feel when Byzantines let Turks settle down to mold them into a buffer zone vs Rum and after couple centuries it totally backfired.

>>161626365

I'm not sure you even need to flip it in hindsight
Maybe a boost to their armies organization/morale - war exhaustion?

>>161625937
How about this?
Battleships don't require fuel at all, they're completely coal fired.
Cruisers require both fuel and coal as maintenance good, but don't require fuel for being built. Why? Because in 1880 nobody produces fuel in meaningful quantities, if at all. That makes so that it takes a lot of time for producing those ships.

Also ships should require machine parts and steel as maintenance good. Keep the final cost the same by reducing the amount of steamer convoys.

because British fleet stronk

>adamantly sticking to standard cores
I get where he is going,since historical cores were done by "divide and conquer" principles.

Real shame we dont have another HPM guy who does alt history additions in a submod.

>>161626365
>supply and demand
>uncivs still getting shilled out for clippers
>Zulu buying Victorian era vessels from Brits

Hypothetically, if the best /gsg/ AAR could be written, what game would it be for and what would be going on in it?

>>161626602
Yeah I don't get why he so stubbornly refuses to add reasonable alt-history additions. Victoria 2 is innately ahistorical, since the moment the game starts history diverges. I would think as a mod that wants to retain historical accuracy while still leaving a game to play (i.e. not railroading) would add plausible alternate scenarios, even if they are far different from what actually happened in our timeline.

>>161625937
How come French cannot invest into population growth HPM? Reactionary/Conservative governments would put out measures for it and it was obvious France was lagging behind.
