If you want to take Hainan you might as well take Vietnam. I think those would be really comfy borders that would still give you some real power. You are going to have to take a fair amount of land from the British though, so good luck with that. Maybe Japan will ally you when you civilize and get GP.

I guess most close heresy to satanism is messalianism:
"The Messalians, or Euchites ("Those who Pray"), are a heretical Christian sect that originated in Mesopotamia, influenced by dualistic faiths like Zoroastrianism. Messalians believe that God can be perceived by the carnal senses, and that this perception is necessary to reach perfection. Each person is born with an inner demon, and only intense prayer can drive it out. They also believe that Lucifer is the elder son of God and a force for good, and that incest is sacred since it was practised by the children of Adam and Eve. They have no formal rites and no strict church hierarchy."

I'm starting my first game ever in CK2. I'm not looking for help to make the game easier, just more fun.

I decided to go with a custom character (78% very hard though I do not care about "winning). I'm looking through the options right now and there's a few I'm wondering over and I'd appreaciate it if someone with more experience could answer.

Interfaith marriages: I want to set this to Open. Seems like it'd open up more options. If I enable this will the game completely ignore the faith in questions of marriage or does it simply allow them, even if unlikely?

Vassal Republics: Should this be restricted or unlimited? Does the game get too easy/hard with if they're unlimited or is it just to simplify the experience?

Vassal Theocracies: Same as above

Invitation to Court: Default or Open?

Diplomatic Range: Unrestricted or Default?

Grant Independence: Restricted or Unrestricted?

Other than these everthing seems fine on Default. The ones I pointed out are ones where the non-default seems like something I'd prefer but I don't want to break the game.

Sorry for the long post and thanks to anyone who can help.

Interfaith marriages: ignores the faith of both parties completely
Vassal republics and theocracies: make the game stupidly easy as both would be incredibly weak while providing lots of tax income (republics produce mainly light infantry which get mowed down and theocracies produce less levies overall)

Invitation to court: completely up to you

Diplomatic range: use in combination with open marriage if you want Hindus ruling Europe within a century.

Grant independence: not sure desu, I'm not sure what it changes.

Which version of NWO is the one to play though? I've heard the newest one, which is 1.12 I guess, breaks the game balance by having badly defined states. If you've been researching V2 mods, do you have an opinion about it? I see I can download both 1.06 and 1.07 from that github, and I've seen both of those versions mentioned around here.

Are all the other mods you linked up to date and compatible with HoD 3.04? For some reason I thought Napoopan was unplayable on recent versions of the base game.

Grant independence unrestricted lets you grant independence to de jure vassals. Normally the King of England would not be able to grant independence to the Count of Essex.

>>171021978

I have not played any of the mods besides HPM, in the last year. I want to make sure everything is up to date and/or 3.04 compatible first. So as far as NWO goes, I have no clue on quality of the mod.

RE: Napoleon's legacy, the pastebin says "0.3.1.7 Download (ONLY 3.04):"
so I am fairly confident both that and all the other mods I linked are 3.04 compatible

I grabbed persia with the help of perfidious albion. They were at 95% westernization for like 5 years before the war I had to pull them out of UK's sphere and then America's

>>171021561
Thanks I disabled the Aztec invasion. Sounds retarded now that I googled it.
Combination sounds nice.
What's wrong with defensive pacts? They sound good and realistic in theory.
Setting gender equality to historical seems to just limit the available actions, does it not?
>>171021851
Too bad. Should I keep it restricted then? Interfaith marriages did happen a lot, though and again it sounds like it'd just limit my options. Does it break the game balance if religions have no effect on marriages?
Good to know I'll keep Vassals and range at default.

>>171023489
Well, the way the base game deals with states isn't perfect either. It has never made sense to me that annexing a one province state has the same infamy cost as a state with like ten provinces.

It seems like one could use the same mechanics used to compute population density, i.e. the area of the state, to determine things like number of available NFs. The # of NF calculation system is probably hardcoded (limited by tech and by accepted pops/400K) though.

Any mod that nullifies the discrepancies in state sizes by accounting for them in other ways would be quite a boon. Maybe it could be made compatible with other mods so that you can use it to fix vanilla, HPM, NWO, etc. at your leisure.

I'm thinking I'll grab the Panama Canal next and possibly the Falklands to cut the US Navy in half, then the Alaskan campaign will begin in the spring.

The main problem with Greece is that there just aren't enough Greek pops in the world, so you can't get enough NFs. You'll never get more than like two or three.

Well if all those little states including Silesia were put together into one Poland, it would be god tier borders overall.

No, it looks like you are playing as a random combination of Southeast Asian states.

About to take Siamese Laos so I can move my troops to the coast after I've dealt with the reactionaries in Aceh. I have half as many irregulars as them but I'm winning.

Extremely silly question incoming - if I used the DLCActivator stuff and poked around the files to get all the DLC for CK2 (because it's a shitton of money), would I get in trouble and get my ass banned? I'm scared ;_;

But I'm AngloSaxon and believe the women's place is at the home rearing children, as well as Catholic, and so to give her a pagan title would be a dishonour to her and her father. Then again I'm mad king Ironside so why not!!

no

thank you

>>171037841
They probably already VAC banned you, it just takes a couple days to get through until you have the email and everything

Better make a new account right now and abandon the old one

Is there a mod for eu4 that fixes the late game balance? I'm sick of sub saharan africans being at the same tech level as europeans because the fucking swedes want them to be viable in multiplayer.
