If the new lewdmod actually takes off I'd contemplate doing an AAR with it enabled. Mostly for the romance and fluffy stuff, but I was considering doing an earlier start for the next CK2 AAR so a solid slave system wouldn't be terrible either.

Posting again, need to take input,

Yet to be named lewdmod guy here, I've started work, albeit slowly and with very little so far, on the structure for the mod.

Reminder to vote in the poll what you'd like to see
http://www.strawpoll.me/12184942

And if something isn't listed as a poll option be sure to reply.

Another thing I'd like to ask is - should there be priority on male player characters, or female? Obviously there would eventually be content for both, but what do most people play? I personally lean towards female, especially as being a futa can give you much of the male content too, but I want to know. Or would the mod effect your playstyle?

is there ANY mod that fixes EU4s retarded institutions and tech?

>>167058967
>You're obviously going to play as a female right?
It would be the same basic structure as last time, starting with a historical character and going from there. Although my autism would force me to disable matrilineal marriages, so I probably wouldn't be playing as a woman much if at all, unless the kingdom went seniority/elective for whatever reason.

Most of the reason I'd be using the lewdmod is just for the extra romantic events and whatnot, to help contextualize my relationships. It'd still be a historical game (no fantasy content), just one with a bit more possibility thrown into the mix.

>Also what happened to the Hoy AAR?
Nothing, I mentioned when I was starting that work might get heavy (it has) and that I might be forced to delay the actual release by several months (I have been). I haven't started writing it yet, but the game is done and all the various images are already edited and organized. I just need to sit down and put the narrative together, although that's the most time-consuming part.

what does this casus belli do?

>>167059459
>Just do a meme AAR
Meme AARs are literally beyond me. If an AAR isn't serious or at least has some plausible deniability for what's going on I can't get into it. And generally speaking the more historical it is the more entertained by everything that's happening I am (largely because the more historical the rules are the more difficult the game is).

Although it did just occur to me that I can marry distant branches of my dynasty to play as a female without getting a game over even if I disable matrilineal marriages, so reasonably I probably would have a few female rulers in the course of the AAR. Provided my succession is Agnatic-Cognatic.

Not a problem. I'll be preoccupied for months yet, then I have to release the DH AAR, then I'm at least doing one Vic2 AAR before I proceed to anything else. My guess is it'll be until July at the earliest before a new CK2 AAR would even be on the table.

>>167060117
I don't know what one of those is, but they didn't have them in real life, so no.

>>167060015
It can't be built as an add-on initially. Part of the reason this project is being done is because the guy doing it ran the core as his project, and it will not really be maintained since he's sort of tired and bored of it. That, and as far as content goes, we can host things that all of the people doing DW content are doing refuse to touch, and remove (albeit now optional) stuff we don't want. But again the core reason is it's a collaborative project.

These all could have been Dark World addons, but then we wouldn't ultimately be the final arbiters. If I/we fail at this core skeleton, at least we can fall back on Dark World and maintain our modules over here.

well right yeah, and I think I'm going to remove them somehow or make the revolts less xboxhueg but it does sort of make sense I need to wait until mass politics for the brainwashing bit.

It's just I would think the people are so exausted by now of years of containment wars and the shitty international isolation modifier which doesn't let war exhaustion go down (I've been at 50% for 10 years) and a whole lot of other shit like factories being more expensive, people not getting their needs, etc, and then multiple bloody revolts, I just think people by now would be happy to calm down until things straighten out again

Some people still manage to fuck it up.
I don't think I'm very experienced, but I find it incredibly easy to deal with institutions outside of europe now.

I like the idea of a more dynamic tech system but it really needs work.
A further problem I have even before the institutions was that the ahead of time penalties are so huge so you can't even be that far ahead. Like 1 tech.

Hello, I'm new to this genre, currently trying to figure victoria 2 out and there are a few questions that came up for me:
1. I notice when I attack an enemy province my army tends to shrink right as they enter. Is there any way to avoid those losses or do I just have to replace them?
2. What exactly happens when an army is greater than the supply limit of their province? Do they just start dying and having to be replaced?
3. When I'm a junior in a warring coalition in the sense that I can not negotiate peace, how do I know what the peacedeal actually was when it happens? Did I just accidently skip a window that told me?

They replace automatically at the game end of each month if they're on controlled territory, you have techs like medicine that helps you lose less proper soldiers and less pops when sieging though, as well as other techs that help to increase the reinforcements.

The soldier pops die en masse, if the soldier pop is less than 1k then you'll have trouble reinforcing them since technically there's no more people to replace them. Check the pops tab, select only soldiers and sort by numbers to see this better.

No problem.

base 12 is better tho

>>167067339
metric is best

>>167068885
The number 10 implies the number equivalent to the base of your system. The four basic operations are thus rendered trivial and consistent.
Orders of Magnitude refer, roughly, to the number of digits in a value, and the difference in magnitude between two numbers is approximated by how many digits are between them. More specifically, it's a log base [arbitrary base] operation (we use 10 normally).

>>167069029
The base number (12, in this case) in base twelve would still be written 10. The decimal system makes sense because we commonly use base 10 for everyday calculations. And just as importantly, the metric system is internally consistent. The difference is always ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times. Not three times, then twelve times, then a thousand seven hundred eighty times.

No anon, he's actually right. Twelve is far more special as a number than is ten, but since we use base 10 for everyday speech and calculations, it makes more sense to use base 10 for our measurements.
In fact, 2, 6, 12, and 60 are all far superior to 10, but we don't use any of those so...

Are you literally fucking retarded?
1, 12, 144, 1728 would be written as 1, 10, 100, 1000 in base 12. For reference, the decimal number 10 would be written as A, 11 as B, and 12 as 10, 13 as 11.

Go back to fucking school or shut up about things you understand nothing about. I'm not advocating actually using base 12 units because nobody uses base 12 numbers in normal speech.

>>167069929
This is how number systems work
In decimal, 352 is the same as 3*10*10+5*10+2.
In hexadecimal, 352 is the same as 3*16*16 + 5*16 + 2 (which is 850 in decimal notation).

>why 12 is better than 10
Same post. It's a number with more unique mathematical properties. Now obviously I'm not saying that this makes a difference but people were originally complaining about 10 being arbitrary so I noted that 10 isn't arbitrary at all, but there were better choices from a mathematical point of view like 12 or 60 (Babylonian).

This. There's a reason 12 hours/60 minutes is still in use, despite the French having tried 10hours of 100 minutes each.

The concept of number systems should be unless you're American.

>>167070150
It's also good for physics. Very few numbers involve 10, but there's a lot that involve 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 due to how differentials, integrals, and factorials work.

>>167070220
Oh my fucking god you dumb shit, if we actually used base 12 on a regular basis we'd have two more numerical symbols. Letters are just symbols the same way numbers are, they're just used a specific way because that's what we're used to.

You weren't thought hexadecimal? We spent most of 9th grade CS learning number systems (binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal) and converting between them.

>>167070371
>your number system somehow has an equation equaling 850 equal 352 instead.
No it doesn't. It has 850 in decimal equal 352 in hexademical. This isn't 'my' system, it's the system used by computer scientists and mathematicians worldwide.
For reference the full equation is:

8 * 10 * 10 + 5 * 10 + 0 = 3 * 16 * 16 + 5 * 16 + 2.

>>167070452
In computer science it's because computers are constructed to use only 1s and 0s, the presence or lack of electricity. This means computers operate in binary.
But binary is long as fuck and is annoying to write out or do calculations with, so we use hexadecimal instead. 16 has the property of being 2*2*2*2, which means that for every four-digit binary, there's a one-digit hexadecimal. Therefore 0xFF is 1111 1111, 0xF0 is 1111 0000, 0x16 is 0001 0110, and so on. It's easier to use this, just like it's easier to substitute extra variables in to solve certain algebra problems than to fuck around trying to untangle huge messes manually.

That or literally go back to senior high school and start from the ground up because you evidently are too American to participate in discussion that requires merely primitive levels of thinking.

>>167070626
12 is divisible by more numbers than 10 (12, 6, 4, 2, 1 vs 10, 5, 2, 1) so it makes more sense to use it in everyday life for calculations of time. That way you can have half hour, quarter hour, half day, quarter day etc.

bout-face in Moscow

After the signing of the pact between the two countries' foreign ministers in Moscow, Stalin raised a glass to the health of the "Führer." Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov praised Hitler's "peaceful intentions" at a meeting of the Supreme Soviet, the country's highest legislative body. He called the now-ongoing war by the Western allies against Hitler "senseless and criminal." Later, in Berlin, he was received warmly by Hitler, senior military official Hermann Göring and Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess.

During the 22 months the alliance held, the Soviet press no longer attacked Nazi policies. Anti-fascist films were banned from cinemas. Theaters no longer performed dramas with anti-Nazi content. Just before the pact was signed, Maxim Litvinov, the Soviet people's comissar for foreign affairs and himself a Jew, was dismissed. He had advocated an alliance with Western democracies and no longer fit within Moscow's new strategy.

Basically Britain. See the Crimean War, and any other amounts of double crosses. For """"reasons"""". We're on "what's good for business". Sometimes a hero. Sometimes a villain. Sometimes both. Sometimes neither.

One could say Ireland or America is Stephanie.

Hello lads.

I've never played a Grand Strategy game before but played the shit out of Civ V and some RTS games

I have EU III and CK II somehow (humble bundle or something)

Which do I start with and are there any must have mods or tutorial videos/things of that nature I should do before I start?

>>167075047
Are you attacking an enemy fort? What's the terrain you're attacking? Check the enemy ideas and ambitions as well as any ruler traits.

>>167075249
>must have mods
nope

>tutorial videos
nope, well there are but probably not any you should watch before you start playing.

When it comes to eu4 at least a lot of people have a poor grasp on the mechanics and makes videos anyway, even if they are experiences they tend to be wrong on a number of topics so you don't want to be taught wrong.

>>167075350
Yeah, they do have a fort.
I'm new as shit to this game and my brightest idea was to play Cyprus and try to snag Jerusalem.

>>167075350
>>167075454
Nevermind, i'm retarded, they don't have a fort, but it is their capital.

>>167075535
Capitals always have forts.

>>167048413
I'm here, I was quite busy yesterday so I couldn't come here.

Also, anon who wanted the Russian flags, I got some ideas while I was away so expect them to be done today. I'm sorry for such delay.

So what was the terrain in the province?

>>167075671
Drylands.
Whatever, I just gave up for now.

All I can really do is declare war on all these miniscule mudslime states and keep their ports blockaded, but at no point can I take any land.

Maybe if ottocunts stop eyeing my shitty island and let me mil access, but i'm shit out of luck.

>>167075640
wait till next patch lad
China expansion including manchu buffs

>>167075640
You barely have any neighbours how can you get dogpiled?
Eat the manchu horde neighbours and korea fast, then buryatia and then you should only have like Ming+2 neighbours

Samoa and Burgundy for the various types of V2 regimes (if you think it relevant). I'm using the Carlist one right now but it's limited.

>>167076230
Are we talking about this Samoa?

Has anyone invaded Europe as an american tribe? I've been wanting to do that, but I wanted to learn some methods to do so without fucking up too badly.

I've finally retaken all of China's territory but is there any way I can form China or am I stuck as Guangdong?

Also anything else I should take? Okinawa? Vietnam? Vladivostok?

>>167076642

If you're big enough that you are that threatening, then who cares

Just hire mercs if you need them until you wipe their stacks then fire them

America is more of Seth Rollins, but maybe India fits better. 'Didn't sell out, bought in' is something the Indian Princely States would say.

Entente is probably Evolution and the Anglo-Portuguese Alliance is DX. League of Nations was the Authority

Well, I got some old Burgundy flags lying around, maybe you'll like them.

First the monarchy one, the traditional Cross of Burgundy.

>>167076795
>>167076973
For communist Burgundy I decided to use a de-thorned Cross, to represent a mockery of the old monarchy, deposed of its power, with a red star of communism towering over it, as a show of the supremacy of the proletariat over the old regime.

>>167076973
Hey AFPG lad, reactionary UK playthrough here. How the heck did we miss the Royal Oak symbol of Toryism?

>>167076795
For fascist what would make the most sense honestly would be to use this, which in my pack is used as a flag for fascist Wallonia. It's the standard of the Wallonian Legion, but it's also a callback to the Burgundian Cross due to the traditional link of Wallonia to Burgundy in the region.

>>167077137
Hmm, I didn't think to add party symbolism since I was just thinking of a generic reactionary UK, not specifically Tory. It's a pretty symbol, but it would be hard to implement on a flag. I'd have to change the whole design of it, and I'm not too sure what to change it to.
Still, if you want to I could try to come up with something, though I'd have to do it after doing all the flags I've been requested already.

>>167077310
Its fine, I like the current one (though not sure why you apparently use the Brabant Lion, some anon pointed it out not sure if you did or if its just a yellow lion) so no need to rush.

Also for that fascist Burgundy flag I'd drop the arm but keep the sword.

>>167077437
Oh, it's not actually the Brabant Lion, but design decisions made me make it golden instead of silver, so by coincidence it ended up looking exactly the same. I just used the lion since it was such a traditional symbol of British Imperialism, and very common in English, Scottish and by proxy British history.

Why trade zone borders don't match borders of areas in eu4? Same with colonial zones. This triggers my autism so much.

>>167077567
Based AFPG clearing it up, anyway I like the flag.

But I still think that fascist Burgundy would look good only with the sword

>>167077770
I'll wait till the anon who requested them tells me what he thinks. Glad you like the flag though.

>>167076795
Finally, for Republican Burgundy all I seem to have is the commie one without the star. It may work though, symbolically, but tell me if you'd want me to look for something better.

what's the point of going to war if it isn't:
1: to grab land
2: to protect an ally
3: to protect yourself

why fight a war just to steal some cash?

>>167077983
>What is the point of war
To kill other people

>>167077983
because cash is good
