Vicky/Ricky's economy is fundamentally broken. There's no shame in using the console to add resources when you're a Secondary Power and can't get anything.

People meme about the older games, but every Paradox GS game from before EUIII's Divine Wind expansion is pretty much unplayable by contemporary standards.

Somehow, Ricky/Victoria 1's AI is 10x better than Victoria 2 and Eu4 AI. The UK is somehow coordinating an invasion from india, hong kong, the shandong region, and by Shanghai at once. Those are seperate naval invasions making me split my forces.

The AI also knows transport troops to the landing grounds where I attack. I was beating the UK in an 80k vs 20k battle around Hong Kong when they reinforced their troops by boat to a 80k vs 80k battle.

That doesn't mean the AI has been perfect tho. It has marched hopelessly outnumbered troops into my doomstacks in bad terrain and has been crushed. But the AI does seem to know to try to stick to rough terrain when attacked. Overall, This is pretty difficult but a winnable Opium War.

It does, no troops no reinforcements, no reinforcements no army, say hello to losing to attrition.

>"resources" in the form of mana points to magically poof troops into existence
You have clearly not played WitE or are just trolling, because this is absolutely not how production is done, every single unit is built in a factory located on the map. Every tank and plane uses up resources to be built in factories specific to that units design, a factory for tanks can't build planes etc.. bomb the factories enough or better yet, isolate the city they are located in then capture the factory before it can be relocated.

Where the Grigsby games are lacking compared to traditional GSGs is the political and trading aspect, but that is done by design, not by oversight.

Is the Extended Timeline mod for EU4 any good? If I play within the original game's timeframe will the experience basically be the same?

is it almost mandatory to colonize Africa and other places, especially if you're a small country, or can you just let it go if you aren't worried about minmaxing and being a superpower?

>>165993480
it's fun but kind of shitty. I's pretty much just playing eu4 but a lot longer and with a few wierd changes that don't mesh with eu4 mechanics (like a secular religion). I also remember coring to be dirt cheap in the later start dates (like literally a dozen or so mana, and taking a few days. This might be changed/fixed though). Also the institution window is kinda buggy

not really, but in general the more magical it is and the smaller the number of troops, the more powerful. a few blood dragon knights are equivalent to a thousand of troops or 200 artillery with proper infantry fodder can wipe out larger stacks.

Once again, possible DoD portman here, I'm looking to take some more input here on what you'd like to see in a porting out of PDM project, plus adding some things.

Obviously, I'm looking to get rid of the horses good - should it be entirely ridded of as a province/factory good, or should it be added to livestock? And should it be a building requirement for cavalry, or should it be a maintenance good, or both, or neither?

Similar look at the boots, thinking of merging that with the shoes as general footwear, but again, would like your input.

Personally speaking, I'd like to preserve as many of the expanded goods that make things interesting, while trying to cut down on goods bloat, and maybe changing ratio of what goods are needed for what.

Also, on a side note, any modders here, maybe they can explain - can you lock purchase and production of a good after a certain date or technology? I know you can activate it, but I'm looking to lock things like building clipper shipyards after a certain date, and eventually the disappearance of them as a good not too long after, to make sure capitalists don't try building them late game, while giving world navies time to adjust.

>>165999118
I don't like DoD at all and even if you ported it and made it not shit I probably still wouldn't play it. That said I hate all goods added in by PDM and think that vanilla/HPM goods are the best and should be used. The problem with goods bloat is that there's a limited amount of provinces in the world and they all can only produce 1 good so you end up with shortages for the dumb reason that you had to decide whether a provinces produces iron or horses

>>165999417
So besides the fact I really shouldn't care for your input as you've already said you're not going to play (more or less), there never, ever is a shortage of iron or steel. Even with the Great Wars, there is never a shortage since prices actually even dip down due to the increasing industrialization as the timeframe passes, because there is so much supply.

Also, a thought to bear in mind is that to have actual value and a motivation to produce goods, they need to have a price/scarcity to give people a reason to actually bother producing them (employment). Dye is a classical example, since there's such a lack of demand with the collapse of prices thanks to artificial dye factories that whole provinces dedicated to dye just vomit unemployment.

That said, for people interested, don't just restrict your thoughts to economy, if you want to see more events or scenarios play out, please say so.

>>165987820
>I can't even build a factory because it requires 2 machine parts and there's 1 unused in the whole world apparently
Well duh, it's 1842. At the start of the game the only country that produces machine parts is UK and it's going to stay that way for a while.
Industrialization doesn't kick in until 50s.

Also make capitalists. Being able to manually promote pops is a cornerstone of Vicky and the key to industrialization.

is there a way to get the cossack estate even if you're not in the eastern technology group?

And if you reform your government, you change tech group.

>>166003203
You ARE playing as the government in those games. The Soviet government didn't justify shit to anyone when they reconquered the Caucasus republics. Neither would have monarchs, unless maybe towards poweful nobility as you said, but then they would usually be part of the regime as well.

Research conducted by several Finnish and Russian historians later concluded that the shelling was carried out from the Soviet side of the border by an NKVD unit with the purpose of providing the Soviet Union with a casus belli and a pretext to withdraw from the non-aggression pact.[74][F 12]

They did. Hitler also did justify everything he did, either by Lebensraum or revenge for Treaty of Versaille etc.
You always have to justify shit ESPECIALLY if we are talking about not so centralized government as in most of Paradox games.

>>166003805
Finland isn't in the Caucasus though and we're talking about the 20's, not late 30's here
You cannot deny that countless wars have been fought out of surprise, at least due to the tactical element of surprise this provided
Blitzkrieg just being the most recent example, but also the PRC's invasion of India's Himalaya region with heavy casualties on both sides
War just didn't look like this: "hey guise, I'm planning to start a war soon, let's just wait 3 months until everybody is ok with it and the enemy will have gained intel on our plans"
It just didn't work like that

>>166003990
Those were moral justifications based on ideology or history that could be made up and fed to the press on a whim. They didn't need to be "fabricated" over the course of months.

>>166004040
>Finland isn't in the Caucasus though
And an exception doesn't make the rule.
Regardless, the motive they never justified shit for the caucasus countries is because they were reconquered as part of the russian civil war. The soviets never recognized their independence and these countries were all part of the civil war.

>fought out of surprise
Which doesn't mean they didn't have a CB.
The surprise is when and how you attack, not on your hostile intentions.

During the Crimea annexation. Did Putin first inform his press and people over the course of months that he intends to take this piece of land, or was it more of a spontaneous and surprising decision on his part? Or did he justify it after the fact, to keep the population on his side in the conflict?

All Paradox games should function like Eu4, where you can invade whenever but potentially take reputation/morale hits. Especially in a wargame like Hoi4. Don't see how you can just dismiss my examples as "exceptions".

>>166004683

Your example, a single one, isn't even a valid one because we are talking about a region declaring independence, not being recognized and not being able to force the soviets to recognize it.

The USSR did use CBs. Fuck even Hitler used them. Justifications for war are a part of basically every fucking war.

>>166004735
Putin originally moved into the area to "maintain order" to ensure the safety of russians. There are similiar CBs in paradox games.

The whole rebel-referendum shit was the cause. Using fake "Patriot" rebels is one of the oldest tactics known to men. He never even declared war, so he didn't use a CB. He supported rebels, that's it.

Paradox games only deal with open warfare, not with covert or asymmetrical warfare.

How should I design paratrooper divisions? Reddit said combat width 40 is optimal, but what about artillery and the likes?

I think the point is that forging these cb's takes way too long, which I agree with. Why shouldn't Germany just be allowed to march into the Netherlands for the sake of "protecting their fellow Germanics", or to "protect them from Allied influence" (essentially what they did in Operation Weserübung). Or why shouldn't Russia be able to launch a surprise attack against Poland to "protect the Skavic workers" or some bullshit like that?
In Hoi4, a justification at the beginning of the game takes what, 270 days? Way too long and unrealistic. Although the inital statement that wars require absolutely no justification is retarded.

>>166006750
Paratroopers are literally teleports behind you and their main job in WWII was to disrupt shit from behind or weaken (or even take) poorly defended positions behind lines before the main army slammed through and got them back

Forging a CB is, most of the time, fabricating an incident. You don't do this shit overnight. And even after the incident is done sometimes you spend weeks or months raising tensions and spewing propaganda.

>"protecting their fellow Germanics", or to "protect them from Allied influence"

That's what the Germans did while conquering Denmark and Norway. The Allies invaded Iran because they wanted a land connection to Russia. Why should innocent Iran suffer because some guys need logistics?

>>166007381
>If it's possible in real life it should be possible in the game as well.
It is possible in at least one of the games. It's not a cb you're fabricating though.

>>166007381
>How the fuck is that relevant?
Its relevant for your public image because not everything can be solved by force and Hitler failed to understand that. Like every failed ruler in history.

>>166007726

Hitler succeeded in his one true goal. The creation of Israel. He was a kike puppet.

>>166007726
Well technically you should be able to be a failed leader and I think that's what he's saying, which is possible in EU.

>>166007381
Also, you could make the argument that, unless your government is totalitarian in nature, you will literally be unable to declare war unless your NA agrees with you.

>>166006689
>In Hoi4, a justification at the beginning of the game takes what, 270 days?
Meanwhile in HoI2 it takes 0 days and you just take a dissent penalties depending on how totalitarian are your political sliders.

20 combat width is optimal, not 40. You also can't attach AA/AT/Art because you can't drop them unless they changed something in the last patch that I don't know about.

>>166008751
Yes but you said 8x Para which implies 2x some kind of art batallion, but you don't want the support art anyways and here's why: your divisions will run out of supply that much faster so you need to hold on as much as possible (thus the engineer), save as much org as possible (thus the recon to make battles go faster and lack of support art because it heavily reduces org) and you need to preserve supply (thus the logistics, maintanence and hospital). Support art is really bad for paradrops because you have a much larger chance at wasting your paratroopers with it.

There's no reason to have a combat width under 20 or 22/24 if you have the proper general and/or are using Deep Battle unless they're MP divisions. Realistically, it would make sense to have support artillery for paratroopers as in real life, but the large org hit for the soft attack increase just isn't worth it when you can extend the length of your supplies.

1. How do you navally transport an entire army from one place to another? By which I mean the entire OoB of a certain army, not every single piece individually?
2. Let's say I have infantry divisions with a certain brigade structure (for example: infantry, infantry, infantry) and I change the composition of that division in the production screen (for example: infantry, infantry, artillery, tank destroyer).

Certain brigades can upgrade only to certain others ( anti tank to tank destroyers for example ), you cant change infantry to artillery.
Once deployed, every brigade that can be changed has the small grey arrow above them, click it and there will be a list of things it can be changed to.

>>166010521

2. Ah, so I can only upgrade the brigades themselves but I'll have to change division structure manually? That sucks. Especially once you unluck Superior Firepower, then you'll manually have to add a fifth brigade to every division. That's tedium on a horrible, horrible scale.

Not really. Just produce number of those additional brigades and once they are ready to deployed you have that window where you see every not-maxed division and you can deploy them directly there.

Why are video game developers so fucking awful? Paradox Entertainment keeps pumping out only garbage. They would be absolutely curbstomped if an honest, competent developer arrived at the scene and released a grand strategy game. Literally the only reason why people purchase/pirate anything from Paradox right now is simply because of the fact that they are the only high budget developers developing any grand strategy games at the moment. There is no real alternative to speak of right now.

Why hasn't this been done yet? It's such an obvious gap in the market, yet only Paradox fills in the niche.

>>166011792

explain how you'd make it function instead

>>166012049
I don't see the meaning of institutions as such seperate entities for one, but you could simply have institutions spawn with a relatively high MTTH after the first one shows up. It's like how Moveable Type Printing Press was a thing in China and Korea for 500 years before it became a thing in Europe but it was developed seperately there; make the MTTH 30-50 years or something.

There're Ageod and Matrix games who develop and publish their own grand strat games.
Also it's because I doubt that you can create a grand strat game in an engine like Unity or Unreal and most faggots nowadays use those 2 engines + it require a shitton of work - you have to write description for all those events and shit.

Probably because of how niche GS games are. You have two big developers, Paradox and Matrix and that's it. One for casuals (Paradox) and one for grognards (Matrix). It's not a widespread genre and thus won't have the same innovations as genres that are.

Rate my proposed change to the coring system of EU4.

>Remove admin point spending to core provinces
>All provinces have a base time to be cored of 100 years, meaning if you hold a province that long it will become a core
>If the province is of your religion that gets cut in half
>If it's your culture group it also gets cut in half
>And again if it is your culture

This means that for most expansion you'd have a base time of either 50 or 25 years for something to become your core. It would also lead to situations where really only nations with similar cultures would have claims in each others land, which is what happened more historically.

Is Military/Naval Tradition very hard to get to high levels?

Even when I'm a warmongering blob machine, I seem to have trouble getting these numbers to a level that would benefit me greatly.

I don't fundamentally understand how you can go to war as often as this requires and not have 0 manpower.

>>166012703
I like it but I think there should also be events for speeding up or slowing down coring time, and also decisions to be made as to whether or not you WANT it to be a core section of your nation since sometimes you really don't consider tracts of land to be core interests.
Further, how is this going to tie into the change of culture? Are we going the MEIOU way where it happens naturally over time?

>>166012703
B-but blobs anon! What would players spend their mana on now and how would the AI decide to grossly blob?

>>166012567
Model names aren't hardcoded.

>>166012834
But likely the trigger for the Nagato is.

>>166012797
Not really sure, but it would make stuff like converting culture not useless.

Honestly I'm just tired of being able to take provinces that aren't even in my culture group, and of a different religion, and it being a fucking CORE province of my nation in 4 years.

And it's basically the EU3 system but with modifications for religion, culture, etc. I believe EU3 just had a base of 50 years no matter what.

>>166012567

I think culture shouldn't be so easy to convert and should be more of a passive thing, maybe with adjustments / policies so you can 'focus' on assimilating.

News to me. The way Johan phrased it seemed like a subsidiary, not a complete split. I'll concede it.

>>166013469
Not really, they have different market shares. Wargaming is different from grand strategy.

>>166012743
You mostly rely on ideas for army tradition.
Quality gives +1, defensive gives +1.
Aristocratic gives -1% decay.

Keep in mind that yearly army tradition is a fixed number while the decay is a percentage.

Enough forts active+Def ideas+Qual ideas+Aristo ideas and you'll have an equilibrium at 75.

>>166013628
