I left the AI for nearly 100 years alone. It gained about 5 provinces and didnt convert any of them. It picked Naval Ideas (we arent going to be colonizing so there is literally no point it taking this, take fucking trade if you want) and Diplomatic (no fucking allies but Venice, no vassals, and duelist so no marriages) Oh and the tech level was at cap hen I left it.
How can it be so incompetent. Europe and Asia coming up next.
>>166405340
Thanks for the answers man. Yeah, I can afford the costs. I make decent cash now even at full maintenance. Next question if you don't mind?
Is it worth taking the trade embargo Causus Belli? It's only on Lubeck and I'm not sure if I can get land out of it. I'm getting another Causus Belli (insult) versus a one province native guy in Venezuela or somthing.
>>166405494
They're allied and Spain has all the low countries now. I'm allied to France. Don't want to declare such a massive war before sorting out some decent colonies.

>>166405740
Try taking at least 10 provinces in the same colonial region so your colony can give you an extra merchant. It can be really useful if you can steer trade from another node back to your home node, or you can collect in another node. Also prioritize natural harbors and stuff so your colonial nation can have more trade power and help you funnel back money.
>Is it worth taking the trade embargo Causus Belli? It's only on Lubeck and I'm not sure if I can get land out of it. I'm getting another Causus Belli (insult) versus a one province native guy in Venezuela or somthing.
You mean the trade
I personally never use it, I think it costs too much money the long run. Maybe if you are really interested in fucking with the guy you have a CB on.
Is there even a point to playing CK2 or EU4 without the DLCs?
Why don't we have an archive with the DLC unlocker anymore?

Nah, it's my first game. I'm just trying to learn how to play efficiently. I'll start RPing and shit once I know some stuff lad. Cheers for the answers again.
There's a decent harbour you are talking about in Newfoundland called St Lawrence Harbour, I'm going to try and colonize the lot based on your advice (didn't know about the extra merchant).
Thanks again man.
>>166406236
Yuan just popped, and the Japan lost so that means the current Japan (about 1/4 to forming completely) can form China.
>>166404365
Uncle Joe did nothing wrong.
>>166406402
So then the question is, who should I start playing again as? The knights are boring now that I know that EU4 literally cant handle crusade type campaigns. Im between Milan, Naples, and England. All three are against France which is now big so its a challenge. Denmark can form Scandinavia now but... Dont want to colonize with it so its a no.

Everyone knows that hetero sex is 50% gay and futa on female is only 25% gay, anon. You're the homo here.
>>166409451
It's shit because they didn't allow for anything except vanilla sex and dungeon rape, and they have barely any content even for that. All the extra content is in shit submods like the fantasy one, which lets random characters become immortal raping incubi and shit. It's awful. Futa should be as far as it goes in CK2, and outside of the player it should be rare as fuck. And there needs to be more general content obviously, but especially more flavor for incest and a way to seduce same-sex characters.
Dark World is ass as it is. Needs to be remade entirely, as I see it.

Of all things done by Stalin getting rid of ethnic problems in east Europe is a good thing.

It would have to be the other way around desu, I'm shit at modding. But I have nowhere near enough free time right now to do it anyway. Maybe a project for the future.
>>166410187
If it's going to get done at all it should be a full lewd mod, with content for pretty much everything (except 100% fantasy shit, fuck that). Maybe a sub-mod for futa, since I know many people wouldn't want to play that and it's pretty much fantasy itself, but it should definitely include major content for incest, rape, seduction, teen romance (with consequences for your dynasty if bastards come out of it), ways to romance close family without seducing/straight up marrying them, etc.
It's dumb that Dark World is the only option considering how crazy limited it is.
>>166410481
I'm just eyeballing it and the steam page doesn't give much detail as to how it works. Are people in the world randomly turned into vampires? Does it only work through cheats? Stuff like that.
>>166409908
>Everyone knows that hetero sex is 50% gay and futa on female is only 25% gay, anon. You're the homo here.
Joke's on you for assuming I am hetero. I like traps more than womyn.
Finishing up assigning initial provinces in Europe and Africa. Let me know if there are any glaring flaws I should change. I made Crete a vassal to Greece and fixed the Bulgarian province that was brought up in a previous thread. I have a couple questions -
What should I do for Egypt? It was a vassal to the OE at the time, but was almost entirely controlled by the UK who then swiftly annexed it at the onset of the war. Should I make it an Ottoman puppet and have an event chain for annexing it as the British?
Second question is about African railroads - were railroads common in Africa at the time, and were they in all the provinces? If anyone has a good resource for this I'd be glad to look through it.
Next step will be figuring out the core situation in Austria-Hungary; I am not sure how to deal with Hungary's historical cores, perhaps I will have them removed in Trianon and give make their pops more fascist.

Crusading: Fun for all the family!
>>166410595
I'm not entirely sure but Vlad is the progenitor of the vampires, he can choose to sire people in his court and those that are his prisoners (the latter being unable to refuse) but other than that they shouldn't appear naturally/randomly in the world.
Lycanism spread like a fucking wildfire in my last save, other supernatural traits not so much, save for the occasional undead horde that rampaged through northern Africa before being beaten back.
If you're the powergaming type then you'll have a blast with Vlad, just keep him out of harms way and you'll have a demigod to play with. He starts out in a really shitty spot but he doesn't age and drinking the blood (killing) a imprisoned captive will raise one of his stats by 1.

>>166410824
>Crete a puppet of Greece
Nah, it should be a puppet of the Ottomans, defecting to Greece as soon as the Balkan Wars start
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretan_State
I would make Egypt a puppet of the British, being annexed as soon as the ottomans join
>>166411015
3/3
>>166411026
But Crete was de facto annexed by Greece in 1908, then fully integrated later in 1913 according to that source. Egypt was technically still an Ottoman vassal, so I don't know if a British puppet would make sense but that might be the best solution.
>>166411015
Zanzibar was a British vassal at this time, not German.
>>166411209
Egypt should probably be just in the brit sphere and annexed by events

>>166411302
Yeah, any religion that has normalized incest should see it as unexceptional (although it should obviously still have different flavor), and people of other religions who practice incest would obviously have more flavor about hiding what they were doing, and would face major consequences if knowledge of it became open. Worse still if their relationship resulted in a child. I could actually see a unique CB for cases like that, so a whole dynasty could be removed from the throne for irreligion and decadence if it were discovered.

There's a decision chain for it, you need at least data cohesion (2000 or 2020, can be gotten earlier through an event) to start it, and then the tier below it to finish IIRC.

The German Instrument of Surrender was signed just a few short months ago bringing an end to the Great Patriotic War. In the time since then we have worked on dismantling German heavy industry and hunting down those responsible for the atrocities of the war. Along with the Western Allies we have divided Germany into four zones of occupation. Brandenburg, Mecklenburg, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia are firmly under our control. Making use of the former concentration camps the NKVD have rounded up all NSDAP members, heads of Nazi organizations, people maintaining "illegal" print and broadcasting devices or weapon deposits, members of the civil administration, and journalists.
The war in the Pacific was brought to an end by the dropping of two Atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United States and our own invasion of Manchuria. The Americans have found themselves in control of the entirety of Japan and Southern Korea while aid is finding it's way to Nationalist China in their fight against the Communist Party of China. Alarmingly we have received reports of German scientists being recruited by the West to further aid their weapons development. If something is not done soon to achieve a balance of power we will find ourselves at the mercy of the Americans and their Atomic weapons.

>>In the height of summer, the heat in St. Petersburg was almost intolerable; not even during the few hours of night when the sun disappeared below the horizon did the air become really cool. For some Russians, beer was a solution. But one visit to a Russian taphouse to see how the beer was dispensed was enough to put most foreigners off Russian beer forever. As Weber described this scene:
>>The liquor stands there in an open tub or cooler to which the common people crowd, taking it out with a wooden dipper and drinking it, holding their mouths over the tub that nothing may be spilled, so that if by any chance any of it misses their mouths, it runs down their beards and falls again into the tub. If a customer happens to have no money, he leaves his old fur coat, a shirt, a pair of stockings or some other part of his wearing apparel, to pawn until the evening when he receives his wages. In the meantime, those filthy pledges [the clothing] hang on the brim round the tub, nor does it matter much whether they are pushed in and float there for some time.

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 by Germany was illegal, unjust, and that an independent and neutral republic must be restored by any means. However as we now have control of a great deal of the nation we have the opportunity to create an Austrian Democratic Republic within our occupied region, splitting the country in two. Restoring a unified independent Austria led by Karl Renner instead would increase the western allies trust in us however doing so would limit the size of our sphere of influence within Europe.
After careful deliberation of the ramifications of both options, Chairman Stalin did decide to:
>Ask Karl Renner to restore the Republic
or
>Strive for Communist Austria

In Victoria "wine" is produced from "fruit," not grapes specifically. Fruit is produced in the RGOs in grape-growing regions, but also in regions producing edible fruits of other kinds. Thus we should interpret "wine" as inclusive of all alcoholic products not made from grain or starchy plants. It's not ridiculous that it includes local beverages in Asia, although it is somewhat ridiculous that Chinese indigenous alcoholic beverages could crash the wine market in Italy and France.

According to the Potsdam Agreement all occupation forces were to withdraw from Iran by September 1945. Instead of withdrawing we have instead set up multiple Republic's out of Iranian territory, the Azerbaijan People's Republic and the Kurdish Republic of Mahabad. The Kurds, led by Qazi Muhammad, have secured the support of 60 tribal leaders and have established their armed forces - the Peshmerga. At training facilities in Azerbaijan we have trained the Peshmerga and their burgeoning armed forces now number over 1,200 men.
The occupational authorities must decide what to do with the so called Kurdish Republic.

New World Order 1 came out for AoD and then moved to DH and soon become New World Order 2. You can play from 1945 or pre-war but as far as I know alt-history events are spotty, they may have fleshed out Axis victory by now. There's also Turning Point which I think is based on World in Conflict more or less.
>>166422219
It changes your ministers and sliders unless you're a literally who nation. Canada's elections for example:

}

ai_chance = 15
command = { type = dissent value = -2 }
command = { type = set_domestic which = democratic value = 9 }
command = { type = set_domestic which = political_left value = 2 }
command = { type = headofgovernment which = 220102 } # Gordon Graydon

>>166422185
As I mentioned in the previous thread, not much happened between '04 and '10 other than the etente, annexation of Bosnia, and the first Moroccan crisis. The second Moroccan crisis had stronger implications and changes than the first. On top of this, the AI will diverge too much from history, as I've mentioned before.

Right. That will fire with this event:
persistent = yes

NOT = { ispuppet = yes }
NOT = { local_flag = general_election }
NOT = { country = USA } # POTUS cannot call general elections!!

decision_trigger = {
NOT = { dissent = 5 }
domestic = { type = free_market value = 2 }
NOT = { domestic = { type = defense_lobby value = 8 } }
}
trigger = { ai = no }
Depending on your dissent you'll either win or lose and you'll then get this event (this isn't the whole event, it's too long to post)
action = { trigger = { NOT = { dissent = 10 } local_flag = election_time }
name = 9000101wins
command = { trigger = { local_flag = election_time_left } type = domestic which = political_left value = 1 } # Left wins the election: more State intervention
command = { trigger = { local_flag = election_time_left } type = domestic which = free_market value = -1 }
command = { trigger = { local_flag = election_time_left } type = local_clrflag which = election_time_left }
command = { trigger = { local_flag = election_time_right } type = domestic which = political_left value = -1 } # Right wins the election: country rearms
command = { trigger = { local_flag = election_time_right } type = domestic which = defense_lobby value = 1 }
command = { trigger = { local_flag = election_time_right } type = local_clrflag which = election_time_right }
command = { type = local_clrflag which = election_time }
command = { type = local_clrflag which = campaign_rally }
command = { type = dissent value = -5 }
command = { type = event which = 9000102 where = -1 when = 600 }
Which will move you towards the direction chosen. It's not a big shift, but it's something.

1) Jesus titfucking Christ, what were my ancestors thinking? WHO PUTS A COUNTRY THERE?! It's like that circus trick where you stick your head in a lion's mouth, except the lion's pissed off and hungry.
2) Now what? I've sort of run out of options. Can't attack the byzantines, cause they'll push my shit in. Can't attack Carpahtia, cause the Khazars'll kick my ass. Have no claims on Bavaria or Italy and I don't want to attack them anyway, cause we're all catholic and I finally got the pope to like me. In short, I'm stuck. How the hell do you go about break a country up into manageable pieces? Cause I've tried sowing dissent and it's not doing jack shit.

If you play from 1945 does it at least have good event coverage? Alt-history from pre-war is nice, but not mandatory. I'm more interested in post-war, but I don't want to play it if it doesn't have pretty solid flavor.
>>166426858
I'd be interested in doing the mod, but I have nowhere near enough time for it right now, and it'll be months before I do. If I get free time I'd be happy to help, but maybe the best idea would be getting together some other anons with more time on their hands and polling /gsg/ as a whole about what to include.

To be honest only truly redpilled people watch blacked.com, because leftists just see it as two people, infact less than that, because they believe women are equal. Rightsists see is as women (weaker, powerless) getting assaulted by a bigger stronger nigger, and then if he inseminates her then he taints her and by extension her race's genetic line for the rest of human existence (unless she gets abortion, which again, only leftists see as okay)
So you see, watxhing blacked.com is actually "proving" how racist you are, becauze it's saying you recogniss this as different to other pornography, much more taboo, and to be able to think on that many levels actually proves how intelligent right wing people are.

Austria has been my greatest ally this whole time, they help my fight the French and I help them fight the Italians. Since the Pope is always allied to France, that gave Austria an opportunity to blob into Italy easily. Italy just now formed from Two Sicilies (who have been a GP for decades now), so together we're punitively occupying and dismantling it, along with a European coalition to maintain the balance of power.

NEW HPM WHEN
I didn't expect to be confused by EUIV, but here I am.
How the fuck does joining a war as a great power work? I was hoping on defending some NA territories against Portugal and France, both great powers, but it won't let me. I figured it might be some bug and maybe it had to have an exact equal amount of great powers, so I decided to join one fighting France. Still greyed out, still saying there had to be at least one great power at a time.
Also, sharing and stealing maps. I'm completely lost there. Somehow, my ally has maps of everywhere across the fucking globe but he can't share them because I'm not bordering any relevant territories. What's the point?
>>166432783
It's updated.
>>166432882
>>166432728
Also, and this is vital, your north eastern border should be the Zambezi.
>>166433072
hpm died fighting for isis
>>166432882
I think that changeowner plan sounds good, as I don't see the Portuguese taking Zambia et all themselves anytime soon. As for the rest of my colonies, I've beat Britain several times before, and I have no doubt I can beat them again to secure the rest of the Cape.
Namibia, on the other hand, is a big issue. Thanks to Alex's epic railroading, Germany automatically gets it by event in the 1880s before you can colonize it legit, meaning you HAVE to war them for anyone other than Germany to have Namibia. Britain I can beat, but the Krauts will be a lot tougher, and I'm sure the French would capitalize on it and attack me if I tried to attack Germany.

And what about all the English-speaking blacks and coloureds in the east?
>>166433248
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Germany only gets Namibia if the British hold Walvis Bay, and the British only get Walvis Bay if they have Cape Town, meaning you'd have a free path to your South African plans if you took the Cape when conquering Belgium.

Not historical desu
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spazio_vitale
>The territorial extent of the Italian spazio vitale was to cover the Mediterranean as a whole (Mare Nostrum) and Northern Africa from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean.[1]:47 It was to be divided into piccolo spazio ("small space"), which was to be inhabited only by Italians, and grande spazio ("large space") inhabited by other nations to be under the Italian sphere of influence.[1]:48 The nations in the grande spazio would be subjected to Italian rule and protection, but were to keep their own languages and cultures.[1]:46 Fascist ideologist Giuseppe Bottai likened this historic mission to the deeds of the ancient Romans, stating that the new Italians will "illuminate the world with their art, educate it with their knowledge, and give robust structure to their new territories with their administrative technique and ability".[1]:46
Blobbing in and killing Balkanshits is A-OK though
>In Europe, Italy's spazio vitale was to include southeastern Europe. Italy's short-term plans involved the expansion of its grande spazio in southeastern Europe that was to include several nations. In 1941, Italy defined these plans. Croatia [.... ]Serbia,[...] Bulgaria was to be incorporated into the spazio vitale in the Mediterranean once it had acquired its "rightful" outlet to the Aegean Sea[...] Hungary was of interest to be included [....]Greece was to be included, [...] Romania was a target of Italy's ambitions

Sorry sorry sorry!
Yeah poll sounds like good idea. That said, maybe we should have some core ideas.
And should we base it off of Dark World? DW was redone to be more modular, which I feel is a good strategy since that allows particular contributors to pick and choose what kind of fetishes they want, or even just cool things they want to see.
Maybe for sure, for some core ideas that should happen are,
* Succubi - the nature of which can be discussed since I don't like the Lilithian focus on it
* Demonology in general, maybe contrasting also angelic boons, etc?
* Futa - obvious why
* Tit sizes, ass sizes
* And ball sizes, butt sizes
* More traits in general
* More targeted actions and events - and better coordination, so say, if you're a futa, you should be able to be able to rape prisoners either as a man, or a woman
* A la carte...creative, torture options
* Oddball body traits that can be variously inherited, mutation, or even spells/alchemy, like hentaimod's engorged balls, knotted dick, as well as many more new ones
* Personal combat helpings, like bone armor, fleshcraft armor, holy metals, third eye, etc
Maybe one day we can even hope for portrait additions. Who knows? What do you think?

>And should we base it off of Dark World?
In terms of design principles or in terms of the content it already has? In broad terms of design principles I think that's fine, since I agree that Dark World being modular is one of its biggest strengths, but in terms of its present content I'm hesitant to agree. I think that some of the concepts it has (like being able to choose where to cum) are good, but the execution is often shoddy and the way the events are written right now tend to always force the player to make some sort of decision about what happens next, so there's no real spontaneity or just reading an event chain unfolding, which I think is good in some circumstances.
>Succubi
As women who worship Lucifer and have plausibly deniable enhancements because of it, sure. Otherwise I think it should be restricted to a submod, because it's a bit too out there for what I conceive of a good (base) lewd mod as.
>Demonology in general
This would either definitely need to be a submod element or it would need to use the new cult mechanics the next DLC is doing. Maybe hedonistic characters can join a cult where they worship Satan in return for those plausibly-deniable enhancements, but beyond that I don't think there should be any *actual* demons outside of submods.
>FutaAs much as I like it,this is definitely submod material. Traps are more iffy and might be something for the main mod. It might even be able to go along with eunuchs.
>Tit, butt, ball sizes ... more traits in general
I would disagree with adding more, honestly, unless we would use traits to decide what sort of event a character got (IE girls with smaller tits got different events than those with huge ones). I don't really like how size directly correlates to fertility in DW, nor do I like the cluttering of the character screen with traits. Although some more abstract traits having less to do with size and more to do with inheritable stuff like virility would be welcome.

>>166452325
Yes you can now embrace global trade. That was inevitable. You can probably let it spread some more before you embrace it.
Did you develop a province for the renaissance?
That's basically what you have to do if you want to get rid of it's 50% tech penalty.
>>166450948
>More targeted actions and events
Full agreement here, as this is my main problem. More choice of what to do and who to do it to, as well as more events. And I think there should be quite a lot of random events depending upon what you're doing, for example. I was just thinking that there could be a pretty long event chain where a celibate character is tempted by "Satan" (in the form of a dream) with a vision of a hedonistic town in Hell and promised pleasure if he gives in to his lust, for example. As another example, for incestuous characters in societies where incest isn't normative, there could be many events related to attempting to cover up your relationship, almost being caught, accidental pregnancies, etc.
Just more content in general is welcome, but I think focusing especially on what the player is like and who they're in relationships with is the key.
>A la carte...creative, torture options
Not my thing, but I agree it should go in, and in the base mod. I'm sure other anons can help with that.
The only thing I'd really insist on (and I know we're talking here about torture and not rape, but I figure I'll mention it) is ways to force yourself on people by pressuring them (or, with high diplo, making them willing participants) without getting violent. Kind of like a passive violation, with effects that are less negative than a violent rape.
>Oddball body traits that can be variously inherited, mutation, or even spells/alchemy
Submod material, but yeah, that sounds like something to strive for. It would help make content in the full mod a lot more varied.
>Personal combat helpings
Some of this could be included in the base, like overlarge breasts (if breast traits get included) would carry a combat malus, but for other things it would need to be put in the fantasy submod.

Final plug for the night: poll for what kind of content you think should be included in a reworked CK2 lewd mod. Not all of this is likely to make it in, so don't feel like this is indicative of the direction the mod is going to go, but it's a method of polling interest and seeing what kind of content might be appreciated.

Agreed on all your points, I think it should be as modular as possible, that way we can write events and stuff that cross between different submods without breaking anything. I meant those points all as submods but apparently lost the train of my writing somewhere.

Oh definitely there was a supreme lack of incest content in DW. And definitely liking the idea of teens in love and accidental pregnancies, and judging by the polls, apparently everyone else loves it too.
As for torture, again meant it as a submod, but maybe it can be base. The problem is don't want to break anything. And I guess while I'd be hesitant to write that pressuring into sex stuff, I guess that just goes to showcase the potential robustness of this potential project, if we can divide things a la carte that far down.

in 20 years you'll get the next institution.
Ideally you'd want a manufactory in Settsu, Kyoto and Yamato, and have them all be at 20 development or higher.
To get the highest chance of getting the institution to spawn for you.
Just getting some manufactories in or near your high dev provinces should be enough to get it to spread to you even if you don't have it spawn though.

If you blob into Korea you necessarily need to blob into China too because Korea was under Chinese protection as a matter of national pride, so you basically have to blob into all of Asia.

We sailed around Spain towards the British Isles and took Winchester before decisively defeating the English army at Hante. We then crushed a rebellion, allowing us to take the great Norman fortress of Rouen, which we established as our Capital.
To our cousin we bequeathed the Crusader Kingdom of Sicilia, and established the Catholic Duchies of Tripolitania and Barqa in North Africa.
Currently we are at war with a strong French king seeking to reconquer Normandy. They have almost twice our number, but Roi Arnold de Crepon has quickly woo'd the English lords by lavishing newly created duchies and titles upon them.

Man, I love Darkest Hour. Compare how it gives you the option to play two entirely different games to what HoI IV does.
>Darkest Hour
>"It's the year 1933 in the Weimar Republic and the German people are upset. Do you want to follow the historical route where they all vote for Hitler's regime, or do you want a historically alternate yet plausible route where they vote Communist and you work together with the USSR?"

>"But lol, pic this advisor to become a democracy"
>"Lel, and pick that advisor to become commie xDD"
>"Want to ally with Stalin? Just pick this decision with your Führermana"
The end result (choices and the ability to deviate from history) remains the same, but Darkest Hour at least remains in the realm of the plausible. There was indeed a very legitimate chance of communist parties taking over Germany in 1933, but after Hitler took over the reigns (and after the Putsch) communism was effectively eradicated.

uninstall.exe
>>166470012
I'm no HoI IV expert, but I'll help you out (unlike probably a lot of people who will just tell you to uninstall the game (they're not wrong)).
1. The AI utterly sucks at naval invasions, so you're safe on your little island. Worst comes to worst, just wait until America comes to save you.
2. You already got rid of Italy's colonies, good lad!
3. Spain is in the war, I see? They're pretty weak, so you might want to try to conquer them and hold a defensive position in the pyrenees until you feel confident pushing into France.
4. If you're going to do the above, don't forget to use very small cavalry divisions (one or two brigades, four max) with a Military Police attachment to suppress resistance (resistance damages your factories, forcing you to dedicate civilian factories to repair rather than building more shit). Cavalry because it gets an extra bonus to suppression.
5. The only worthwhile composition is having a total combat width of 20 with all infantry except for 2 artillery (you can experiment with other artillery : infantry ratios but I usually just use 2 + support artillery).
6. If you really want to knock Germany out of the war fast then figure out where their victory points are, then gain air superiority over Germany (as in their own lands, not what they occupy) and use paratroopers to quickly knock them out of the war. They've probably annexed (with a peace treaty so now it's no longer occupied land) the Soviet Union so it will be a lot more difficult as they have a lot more victory points right now.
I hope this helps you a little. But if all that fails, wait for America to cover your ass (though due to the aforementioned fail of the AI in naval invasions, you probably need to secure a foothold yourself. Like I said, Spain might be nice).
>>166469773

>>166470932
Holy shit that abysmal pop growth
>>166470708
Thanks for the tips! I appreciate it. I might try the Spain route and a daring parachute drop into the heart of the Reich sounds like fun.
I actually had a reasonably successful invasion of mainland France where I landed some paratroopers and took a few areas so a larger force could land.
Then using tanks I blitzed my way through france to Italy, where they met with a force I'd landed from North Africa. I took Rome and the rest of Italy but in the end I think I overextended and my allies were useless at holding the line. If you look closely at France you can still see the little blue patches where cut off troops are still putting up a fight.
Which leads to another question: Whenever I take areas they become land of the French Commune, even if they weren't originally French provinces (Italy for example).
Is this because I joined their faction? Is there any way to get the land for myself?
>>166470932

Looks good senpai.You should make a mini addon for NWO/Cold War Enhanced
>>166472027
There's no way an NWO addon would be at all mini. It'd have to be an entirely new pack, even perhaps bigger than the regular AFP for Vicky since, if I'm not mistaken, NWO uses more flag types than regular Vicky, doesn't it?
It'd be a gargantuan project, so I'm not going to give it much thought while I still have my pack to worry about, but I'm absolutely open to doing specific flags for it should anons request them, and who knows, maybe down the line I may make a pack for NWOhopefully after the day it's an actually decent mod :^).
>>166472192
http://www.moddb.com/mods/victoria-2-cold-war-enhancement-mod
Some guy made a very improved version of it. He also used some of your flags, like the improved UK flag's there. Haven't seen any of the other ones yet.
Also doubt it'd be that big, I'd say some of your current flags are fitting. Like the communist USA flag would fit a communist NWO USA because the CPUSA is still the 'main' communist party in the US and has been throughout the Cold War.
Religion of peace that literally preaches not harming any living beings blob.
>>166472442
>I'd say some of your current flags are fitting
Not as many as you'd think. I purposefully used the oldest instances of each flag. For NWO I'd have to use the closest to the 1950s, and I'd have to revise all of them to make sure.
For example, instead of using the Silver Legion as fascist flag for the US, I'd use some other, more modern neo-fascist or neo-nazi inspired flag.
>>166471717
>Is this because I joined their faction?
Oh, so you're in the faction with the French? That's good (I thought they left because they're commies).
In that case, I have no idea. French land becomes French again, but sometimes when you take other lands they somehow belong to your allies. I have no idea how it works and it's probably just shitty programming.
>I took Rome and the rest of Italy but in the end I think I overextended and my allies were useless at holding the line.
Yeah, expect to do everything yourself. What I usually do is try to take whatever I'm trying to achieve step-by-step. Try to find bottlenecks, positions behind rivers, on difficult terrain (like mountains etc.) and defend those until you feel confident advancing further. And even if you don't advance, simply by having a foothold you have somewhere for your retarded allies to land. They land in allied territory just fine but can't do an amphibious assault out of a paper bag.

Absolutely, the only reason Nappy didn't was because without it the Netherlands would have been an irrelevant rump state.

really made me think...
>>166477396
You can't, you're already doing what you should do, which is encouraging craftsmen and having industrial jobs in Macao and Cabinda. They won't be able to grow their RGO unless they have the decision about African and Asian farms & mines.
>>166478114
Is this a meme
>>166478114
>+50% craftsmen
>>166477626
No country, perhaps with the exception of Italy has such prime natural borders as France.
>>166478139
Pretty sure I had that event at one point for Macao, the RGO was bigger if I remember correctly.
>>166478409
Oh, I get it now. the decision only works in African and Asian colonies, HPM said he did this to tone down communists in colonies and avoid late game shortages of raw products.
This means that they had bloated farm sizes, but they reverted back to their normal sizes once you turned them into states.

Yes and no. It's "Was is den Deutsches Vaterland" but I translated it to French and added some references that made more sense for France.

Germany should never extend past the Rhine and the Elbe.

Probably. It's interesting because Port. Macaronesia is flourishing, lots of people seem to go there and ind. score is rising. It also has the farms event and that is from some time ago so it seems correct that Macao reverted back and the event modifier disappeared.
Also seems like the the majority of the Craftsman in Macao are actually Chinese.

This one. I'll be shilling it as the improved NWO version from here on. Someone should add it to OP or the archive.

That's a huge amount of pops, how did you do this? Doesn't Portugal start with less than 900k pops?

Is this the one /gsg/ regulars are working on?
Wew, at this point they may as well rename themselves to New Philippines.
>First of all, we’ve removed the Absolute Monarchy government form.
>Secondly, administrative efficiency from technology is now 10% from each tech giving it.
>Governments now have an “Absolutism” value, which ranges from 0 to 100, and this increases your administrative efficiency with up to 40% and your discipline with up to 5%, and makes foreign cores on you decay 3 times as quick at maximum absolutism.
>There is also a maximum value to absolutism a nation can have, which defaults to 65, with legitimacy increasing it up to +20, republics decreasing it by 30, religious unity increasing it by 5, great power by 5, being empire by 5, and several other factors.

It's because of things like this that I don't like playing as big nations in NWO. Any unhistorical decision breaks the game in a way.
>>166479641
It was really slow at the beginning but literally blew up once the population itself started rising like it always does due to tech and healthcare. I pissed them off, closed factories and they emigrated, since there was only one colony they all ended up in Macao.
>>166480285
Why is Sao Tome so empty? Did you turn it into a state early on? And do you plan on taking more colonies?
>>166480418
Didn't do anything with it to be honest, there is one level 2 textile factory in it. No one really goes there. Like I said, I focused completely on Macao.
There aren't really any other places to colonize and I want to stay friends with Qing, I wasn't even planning on taking Cabinda and was going to release it until I saw how quickly the migration took effect and decided to keep it.
First time playing Eu4 in a long time
Planning on converting to vicky 2 once I'm done

Play the game however you like. It's not a history simulator.

If you think it's a history simulator I hope you're on your medication every time the AI does something ahistoric.

The entire planet.

My invasion of Spain was a total failure and somehow Japan have taken Greece.
I think it was something to do with the coast of Spain being mountainous. I couldn't break out of my landing zone and all my divisions got surrounded and crushed.
America is just doing nothing except sending some volunteer forces now and again. It's 1945.
I'm having a lot of fun, however.
