Goals for After the End?

Should I try an Enclave play-through in DH Fallout?

The safest route right now is to simply become a tributary of china and beta up everyone else around me, right? Playing Jianzhou with Manchu/Qing as end goal. Can tributarys even attack countries not under Mings control?

>>173343993
Does that mean that every Axis power relinquishes control of gained territories? (Hungary for example)
Or is it only Germany getting fucked over?

>>173344486
Yes, yes.

Allright, thanks. That´s all I needed to know.

Was WW2 the most aesthetic war in history?

I'm playing CK2 for the first time and my empire is all fucked. I have in Ireland the Kingdom of Eire and the Kingdom of Mide instead of one unified Irish kingdom and in Scotland, I have the Kingdom of Alba. I want to unify the British Isles and maybe take pieces off of the French coast by the end of CK2 for my EU playthrough but these kingdoms are bothering me. How do I fix it? I don't mind cheating either btw.

>>173345291
Then I will give it a try.
Any good tips?
I know they start with one hyper advanced division.
Should I secure Alaska first and then advance trough the West Coast?

German occupied allies got liberated, but Hungary quickly conquered Poland anyway and Germans rejoined Axis and became the leader again - meaning that Allies are getting really fucked this time since this time there is no russians and they will finally get to reorganize. Shitty things is that Japs attacked me once again just before this, automatically putting me to allies faction(???) while I was almost done organizing my OOB and deploying final units for explosive expansion against all factions - retaking mongolia, manchuria from ruskies, taking tibet, korea and whole indochina. Now probably only thing I'll get is rusky lands, since no way allies letting to keep me shit from Japs apart from Taiwan.

>>173346042
Firstly, I like to disable the end game events. I think the return of the chosen one, combined with the blobby nature of the mod makes for less fun gameplay.

Robo has a severe shortage of rare materials but some of the best endgame units. I like to focus on Conquerying state by to get the benefits of state unification. Neuter your rivals nearby and blob onto them when they fight each other, then snowball into world conquest.

I focused on fast units because blobbing Alaska has terrible infrastructure. I actually invested heavily in infrastructure to free up air transport ic to build more bombers instead. Once you get down to Vancouver your last hurdle is the Washington Oregon region. After that you can easily sweep through California and from there it is gravy

For the slow unit spawn period, just sit through it. It takes a while. I get autistic about it and use fullcontrol, showI'd, teleport commands to get all the grey little tumors that they don't spawn into to turn over to marauders territory

It really depends on if you send those codes though.

If you send the codes, the chosen one never returns and you have the same alignments and blob fest.

If you do nothing then the chosen one returns, everyone joins factions, and fights it out. Since you'll have northern territory, you will be on the front lines as the enclave

I'm doing a pretty much identical run as the CSA right now as well. It's with a custom version of HPM I've made for myself and one of the things I did was make a decision for the CSA that enslaves all African diaspora pops (African American, Afro Caribbean, etc.) that aren't already enslaved, at the cost of 5 infamy and 100k vickybucks. If you want, when I get home from work I can upload the decision for you both to use.

I might also make a decision to enslave Native American cultured pops for a fascist CSA at the cost of something like 20-25 infamy and around 500k vickybucks.

All you need to do is add the line " core="CSA" " (without the outer quotation marks) below each province. I assume you know how to edit the save - if you don't, I can help you.

As for the borders themselves, pic related is what I did. If you want to use the borders exactly as I did, the cores for the nations are as follows
>Oregon Country = UOR
>Dakota Republic = DAK
>Midwest Alliance = UIR
>Free States of America = FSA
>New England = NEN

Finally, here's the slave decision. There's no localization, but it really isn't that important. Just drop the text file into the decisions folder and you should be good to go. The decision is repeatable in case you conquer more territory with blacks you want to enslave. It will still have the save monetary and infamy cost, though.

It's based on the Five Civilized Tribes, who were tribes that generally sided with the Colonists and purposefully started the westernization process and interbreeding with whites. They were already settled, so they just built western-style houses, focused more on farming, learned to read and write, things like that. Things were going well for them until they all got exiled to Oklahoma by Andrew Jackson.

The main change I believe should be implemented to the system is that it should require some techs already (again, these were settled tribes, not some plains nomads), and take some time instead of being effectively instant.

>>173354994
I do agree with that, considering who it's based on.

They could go extra strict and make it only available to Cherokee, Creek, Chiksaw, Choktaw, and Seminole, but that'd be a bit unfair and limiting to players, because the only reason someone like, say, the Iroquois weren't considered such was because of diplomatic decisions on their part that lead to them getting their teeth kicked in. A player could be a colonial friendly Iroquois.

The first time you take on Ming in the latest DLC has been the most difficult war I've fought in EU4, outside from coalition wars where all the great power gang up on you. Ming just hires 70 mercs and it barely dents their economy.

Might be slightly easier to do it as a manchu nation with their 100% cav ratio, but still frustratingly difficult if you don't get good leaders or rolls.

>>173357724
Also, pro-tip for anyone wanting to become Emperor of China. DO NOT CLAIM mandate of heaven early on. Make sure to have Ming down to just a few provinces BEFORE you claim it.

Why? Because Ming still keeps all its tributaries even when you claim a mandate, which robs you of any way to get positive mandate growth. Also, Ming no longer get the maluses from having a low mandate, making them even harder to fight in future wars.

If you play as gooks, it helps a lot to conquer all the manchurian provinces and culture shift so you can raise banners which don't drain manpower and have 10% discipline. Otherwise, Ming doomstacks will rollover your low manpower and feeble economy.

I don't really know how it works yet with the new patch and CB. What do you mean last few provinces? Their provinces are worth a shitton. I think when I looked at them in another game, they were worth 3000% warscore total. That's 30 total occupation wars over the whole game timespan.

EU4 getting stuck on "creating checksum"

I'm going mad lads

>>173358187
If you're a neighboring nation to China and you're not a tributary, you automatically get a "Claim mandate of heaven" CB. Using the CB either lets you get cheaper provinces or claim mandate in the peace deal, kind of like how you can enforce union or vassalage.

How can you get a fascist coup in HPM? I dont want to wait for the rebells to pop out, can the same happen to the communist?

M&T 2.0 is going to revamp sieges too, the critical failure roll causing disease was removed, and there'll be a province modifier instead. That means siege attrition by disease will be caused together with province attriction at the end of the month, big nerf to hordes with 15 day siege periods, and buff to high defensivness, like Venice and its over 70 days siege period.
Disease is also much stronger, ranging from a slap on the wrist like the old diseases, to an almost complete wipeout, capped by attrition cap but possibly reaching over 90% casualties. In balance, sieges are now faster because rolling 1 isn't a critical failure, and the defenders gets a defensivness malus depending on how much he's outnumbered.

>>173358402
If I remember right, you just have keep the Fascists elected for long enough before it happens automatically.

From memory the coup needs an average militancy of 4 or more and for fascists to be in power.

Theres a event chain for that, you need to elect them 2 times or have 50%+ Fascists in the upper house, encourage the fascist party and support them in all the blackshirt etc events and you'll ecentually become a facist dictatorship.

>>173358331
>What do you mean last few provinces?

Exactly what it means. Don't claim it until your 2nd last war with them. The most effective way is to grab a lot of provinces with the idea of releasing/vassalizing the Chinese minors. That way you can go over the overextension limit in peace deals. Also helps to get either diplomatic/influential ideas.

>>173361994
You must always take Rome last to stop the Shadow Kingdom. Then you get the option to "Rein in Italy" which auto adds provinces to the HRE (the last provinces you won) and then you get pretty much forced into handing Rome back.

This entire game has gone against you already and you won't do anything much with Austria based on >>173361938 (you are missing many Princes from Italy alone) and also Castile now has Hainaut, Brabant, Holland and probably more than I can't quite see.

>>173362056
Stack on good military ideas, become a tributary so you can conquer Korea without Ming intervening, then refuse to pay any tribute so they revoke your tributary status and you can declare war on China. Good luck. You'll need it as Ming gets more and more powerful over time.

Or be a pussy and go peaceful colonial route.

>probably more than I can't quite see.

>>173362364

>>173362167
They've never really announced that they would release at Paradoxcon, which is around one month from now. On a dev video today, Demiansky has said that there's no release date yet, though it shouldn't take long.
They're all saying that they've stopped development and are working on bugfixing and balancing, and also compatibility with the latest DLC, though without any of the features.
Some features which were expected to be on 2.0 won't be there, estates, specially tribals and freeholders won't be complete, and revamped colonization won't be there at all, since the guy working on it disappeared.
Another thing that is still up in the air is corruption, vanilla has a "feature" where the AI won't declare war ever if its corruption is above some very low amount, like 2 or so. Since M&T is revamping corruption away from 0 being the normal and best, it fucks up the AI. Johan said that hard limit was upped, but not removed entirely. Testing is still necessary to determine what has to be done, maybe recalibrate the corruption ranges, or even scrap the entire corruption mechanic for the AI and write their own.

>>173362582

I managed to kick Bohemia's ass by attacking one of their allies, but Muscovy has no allies besides Ottomans so that's not really an option.

The only Otto enemy is Poland who is already my ally, but me and Poland will still get thrashed by an ottoman muscovy team.

>>173362364
No one would answer me when I asked if I could declare on other tributaries as a tributary, that's why I had to do this.
And because I wanted that Mexican gold.

>>173362506
You need to get a coalition thats just large enough so that Bohemia and moscovy joiin but not many others. Polish land is perfect for that. Then you can force them to break alliance with Ottomans and they wont get it back. Since they are attacking Ottomans wont join.

I'm playing Shimazu. Ashikaga(shit ideas), Uesugi or Hosokawa are probably the fastest starts. Hatakeyama starts with 10% more morale, which is pretty good.

it doesn't change religion, the religion checking feature in V2 is fucked and broken. HPM allows lebanon's religion to be changed depending on its overlord/owner, but otherwise no

>>173363005
You can become a constitutional monarchy, it still gives you migrants + the breakaway events won't happen

>>173363764
There's a Daimyo that gets 15% more movement speed, I think that's a unique bonus.

Uhh??? Why haven't I become a great power yet? Is it another tributary bug?

>>173363851
But can you go from democracy to constitutional monarchy without going absolute monarchy first? That will trigger the event

>>173363995
Are you fully independent? Tributaries count as a subject so they don't get ranked.

Lucky for me, they burned Poland to the ground while I fucked muscovy.

Unlucky for me, now denmark is cucking me instead. I'm pretty sure no matter what I do, some truce or other is going to expire and they'll go back to guaranteeing the livonians.

>>173364141
Well done. Now complete that mission and find some way to attack Saxony they are eating your Princes.

I need to kick them out already. They can't have any force projection in the area, I've just been busy elsewhere and I'm a little scared.

Well done m8. What about France and Austria? Can you get them on side? Things are heating up for you now. Maybe even get rid of Livonians if they are going to ultimately slow you down for years at a time like this.

>>173364931
Improve Relations advisor and get the largest members of any potential coalition over 50 opinion and the rest will pusy out. Judging by the state of your Empire you're going to be trying to get Princes back from the dead for 30 years so don't worry your AE will vanish.

Do you want me to post a spoiler on how to play Austria perfectly and cheese the game?

In Vicky 2, do all of the rebels die if you defeat one of their stacks?

>>173366019
No, I don't think so. They're weaker and more likely to be wiped than normal units, tho.

>>173366019
No, why would they? The only case when they disappear is if you for some reason lose a bunch of militancy, for example by passing reforms

>>173365649

>when Portugal and Britain come and colonize your spice islands
How do I deal with this? I can probably challenge them navally, but just occupying one little island and then watching for ships for 15 years seems kind of dumb.

>>173366218
How does it work then? For example, assuming you use a stack of 4 inf 4 arty 1 eng 1 hussar:
If you defeat a 3k stack, do they all die?
If you defeat a large stack, say, 40k+, do they suffer regular combat losses while the rest goes back to the pop pool?
