I had no problem giving Paradox money for the game or when they made real expansions eg. Heir to the throne and Art of war. But i'm not going to support a company nickle and diming consumers.

The expansions in pre CK2 games were extremely expansive refining and re balancing major structures in the game. Now they charge 2 bucks to add the ability to tell your allies in a war to not be retarded and actually give you you're own war goals.

I was watching the dude who makes the Meou and taxes mod and while I've never played it the amount of work and dedication I saw in the 20 minutes of that stream is more than in all the dev diaries and work I've seen paradox do in half a decade.

Instead of adding more and more bloat into their games, why in the fuck is India in CK2?, they need to go back to the drawing board and seriously work out how best to actually make fun yet historical simulations that capture the spirit of guiding a nation through the ages. Instead I'm sure they'll put out more meme expansions like Monk's and Mystics to let us summon Satan and make more halfhearted poorly planned games like stellaris while squeezing their customers for as much cash as possible.

>not uniting the arabs and becoming a secular republic

>>175532392
Coptic is christian you know.

So I'll say it a third time, unless you have an interest in befriending/vassalizing the electors to become emperor and revoke the priviligea, then no, the HRE existing just gives you double AE and always calls in the emperor to defend whoever you're attacking.

Even if it's just Austria you're fighting being emperor gives them like double forcelimit and the income to back it up.

Besides, dismantling gives 100 prestige so why not

So guys. I am a pleb at HOI 3 I would love to be good at the game but the tutorials don't really help me. I got all the dlc's. Have tried to play as Chile so I would be safe from axis allies and communists when the war breaks out but eventually my resources went red again I think for oil and I had a tough time trying to understand how it works.


What is the best place to learn HOI 3 and would it be possible to play multiplayer with someone where I play as like Italy and he as Germany so he could give me instructions and just like the real war help me out

>Buying anything

>>175533475
basically. would be harder to do on byz since there's no easy way to their land

when you force vassalize someone in a peace deal you get called into their wars, but you stay the defender so you can call in your allies

full annexing just peaces them out

You should look up a guide before you get to deep in, the difference between Great Powers and Secondary is huge and Uncivs are borderline unplayable unless you are very good.

IT'S
HAPPENING

The Austro-Hungarians have begun to prepare "Case Maria"
Operation Maria will see the invasion of Italy proper. The two goliaths of Europe are going to war. Intelligence puts the ratio of military at 2:1 in favour of Italy but nothing makes sense in this strange world anymore.

Colored HQ's, Model graphics, new events for countries, added basic route for Manchuria to go independent by backstabbing the Japanese and joining the united front, you can subvert the Japanese anti-insurgent operations and later get some help from militia, try to get White Russian support, lots of other things I had ideas for but haven't gotten around to.

Other random shit like France having options to partition Germany if they manage to beat them.

I was working on making the SCW way more in depth with politics, for example the longer the war dragged on and the more Soviet help you received the stronger Stalinist party influence would be later. Among other things you could have in fighting later with the Basques or Catalonians. It's all very buggy and unfinished and I usually play a game with it to see what breaks next.

Maybe. We'll see, I haven't tried this before and I'm only OK at HoI3. Perhaps spamming transport planes would have been better.

Got my war invite, most of my armor is concentrated around Mongolia since it's flatter than Eastern Russia, obviously. Lucky for me the border is basically undefended and Vladivostok should fall quick and easy. More minus modifiers for the Germans should make their life easier.

Just as the Guderian's First Panzerkorps shocks America by storming through Florida, FDR makes the decision to drop a nuclear bomb, a weapon of never-before-seen power...on Venezuela. Venezuela had entered the war barely a year prior after the German Seebattalion took British Guyana.
The South American front grew astonishingly, and unexpectedly, fierce as the United States, Canada, and what remained of the British pulled off a lighting-fast landing of nearly 40 divisions into Venezuela. The next few months saw intense jungle fighting with the Venezuelans and Germans (along with a Bulgarian and two Greek divisions) desperately fighting the allies and the elements.

Perhaps the annihilation of Caracas by nuclear fire was one last spiteful blow from the only major democracy in the world before its inevitable fall?

The 1928 US General Election saw Huey Long win a majority vote and sweep the electoral college.

During his victory speech with his new cabinet he vowed to Make Every Man a King. The Vice President-Elect, Gereld K. Smith, vowed that America would once again be a nation of white, Christian nationalists while claiming that Leftists would receive harsh punishment.

Foreign Minister Coughlin then took the stage and vowed to "fight international Jewry and Communism wherever it is found. Also fuck Liberals and the Federal Reserve"

In a strange, poetic turn of events the bleeding heart Communist Party has allowed a group of Far-Right Populists to seize power using their voting base.

The game applied a "Great Depression" modifier on me when I started. It sets my army unit build times to 3000, but doesn't modify the build time for my airforce or navy.
The first levels of Strategic bombers (STRAT-14 through STRAT-21) have a build time of only 74 days as opposed to the rest, which have a build time of 300 days. Clearly the best course of action is to pump out hundreds of strategic bombers and then upgrade them into B-25s.

>Friedman was born Wolf Friedman (Yiddish: װאָלףֿ פֿרידמאַן, Russian: Boльф Ф. Фpидмaн), in Kishinev, Bessarabia, the son of Frederick Friedman, a Jew from Bucharest who worked as a translator and linguist for the Russian Postal Service, and the daughter of a well-to-do wine merchant. Friedman's family fled Russia in 1892 to escape the virulent anti-Semitism there, ending up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[1] Three years later, his first name was changed to William.

The Presidential Cabinet met this Saturday to discuss the Mexican question. As the day wore on it became increasingly clear that the meeting was getting no where. Admiral Halsey suggested that the Cabinet meet again on Sunday.
"I cannot," said Head of Intelligence Friedman, "tomorrow is the Sabbath."
Upon hearing this, Patton, Coughlin, Smith, and Ford became enraged.
"How dare a JEW defile this esteemed office" was heard among the commotion as they chased Friedman out of the White House.

Col. William K. Naylor has been appointed Head of Intelligence in his wake.

Apparently - according to the top experts on economics - buying Stocks using borrowed money when you have no collateral is a bad move. Who knew right?

The stock market has crashed, banks are defaulting, and thousands are killing themselves in despair across the nation. Father Coughlin is adamant the Jews are in some way, shape, or form responsible. Patton agrees.

Something needs to be done about the economy.

Should the Invisible Hand guide the way, or is it time for some careful regulations?

If they wanted to actually model china well it should probably work like this.
The capital and the areas around it are governed by you. Other areas are divided into regions that are governed by appointed governors. You can replace these governors at will if they are taking to much cut of the taxes or refusing to provide troops but it costs legitamacy. There's also a court faction that will demand certain areas revoked or vassals aressted, if you don't give into their demands then they could plot a coup, create a pretedner, or otherwise undermine your legitimacy. Areas farther from your capital gain autonomy faster and are more likely to stop sending taxes or providing troops. You can create a secondary capital with a strong enough ruler but it will have a large start up cost and take a chunk out of your mana.

Hopefully then you'd have a more realistic scenario where under a strong emperor China is an absolute behemoth that can effectively level it's huge population, wealth, and learning to dominate. But under weaker emperors the periphery will begin splitting off, tributaries will stop paying up, and hordes will feel comfortable encroaching further into your heartlands. Eventually leading to a complete collapse while everyone tries and restore the throne.

>>175545605
Yeah these really should be in the game for all nations, but especially in China a flood at the wrong time could mean doom for a Dynasty

Honestly some things that I said in this post should also apply to basically every Empire in the game. It's way to easy to blob ahistorically. In real life managing an empire as large as say the Ottomans was completely impossible without giving a very large amount of autonomy to the local rulers.

Do vassals in CK2 learn from the mistakes of others?
I mean, if a faction of vassals rises up to declare independence and I curb stomp them with ease, then mutilate every single person who contributed to the rebellion, will other vassals go "holy shit, I do not want to fuck with that guy"?

No. I can't remember if that's in a mod but there's a 'quelled rebellion' modifier that increases their opinion, but the AI won't adjust their behavior because they don't notice a trend of you crushing all civil wars, they only wage their levy size against yours and checks for opinions, loyalty etc

Sikh isn't all that powerful. They get a bonus to military tech speed, some extra army morale, and that's it.

There's also the Gurus who give their various bonuses, but those are historically-fixed and might not always be what you need.

The only other noteworthy thing about them is the Save the Burning World decision that gives extra missionary strength.

Overall, I'd say that Hinduism is far more potent a religion. Combined with a republic, you can swap out whatever god-modifiers you need every four years.

It's too random. Your greatest ally yesterday might become your worst enemy tomorrow. Even worst, you will end up with Ming as your rival even tho your merchants and sailors never set a feet onto any Asian region. Not to mention you need to have rival or you wouldn't get Power Projection buff. And having rival system tied with PP doesn't make any sense now since Paradox already put Great Power and influence system in EUIV.

Been thinking a while of going for a max(high) tax build.
Max would be custom nation or papal states.


But something like Bengal would be fine.

I'd want to be
>Muslim
>>Lack of Piety: 20% Tax
>>Province Owned By Dhimmi: 33% Tax
>Theocracy
>>Devotion: 25% Tax

I'd need Religious and Influence ideas unless I'm a custom nation.
Probably Humanist since as many provinces as possible should be heathens.

All stated provinces must be of accepted culture, so might have to convert a bit, then have the province flip back in religion.
Bengal>Hindustan with india and mostly hindu would probably work fine.
Probably econ+quantity for dev'ing for more tax.

Was about to declare war on Russia/Soviets for independence, since they had been fucked by rebels for about 20 years, lost probably 5M pops, but THE EXACT SECOND I was about to declare war, Sweden declared war against Russia and I was called in.
I wiped out the Swedish army in one battle, but the Norweigans fucked my provinces up, and I didn't attack them because I wanted to wait for Russia to help, but the war took ages and eventually white peaced
Then as soon as the war ends I get an event which basically makes me independent because Russia turned gommie, there was a risk of war but Russia pussied out, and eventually went back to a republic couple years after screenshot

Also, how come when I demand unlawful territory and they refuse I can't make them give it back or release it? I have to take it myself, eat the AE, then release it myself, costing 10 prestige.

I've always wanted to make an EU4 mod and now I have a few months of free time. Idea is to center it around christians vs. zoroastrians, pic related, as well as eastern vs. western roman empire. Western uses the HRE mechanics and is located in the non-british dark purple areas (spain/france/italy). Eastern is just regular byzantium with some breakaway christian states it has to deal with, as well as turkic zoroastrian invader remnants in anatolia.

I'm not sure who to put in the light purple areas (Arian christianity). The idea is that the roman empire held back the germanic hordes and then later fell apart into Romanized governances. I could just stick the Franks/Burgundians/Lombards/etc a bit further north & east than they historically settled and do the same for the slavs, but that's a bit boring.

Client states are generally used to reduce aggressive expansion somewhat and reduce the burden of overextension when conquering huge swathes of territory all at once - they can be diplomatically annexed like other vassals.

Extremely useful if you're producing more bird mana than paper mana. Also great for roleplaying or for when you want to keep your neighbourd in check while "playing tall."

The Caribbean's good, as is the US east coast. You'll also want control over just a few territories in Africa - the Ivory Coast, the Cape and Zanzibar - for the purposes of trade steering.

From there, you'll also want some of Ceylon/India and Malacca as well as Ternate, Tidore and the Philippines.

With all thosd, you'll be able to steer trade all the way from the Moluccas into South Asia, around Africa via the Cape, then up the coast to Ivory, across the sea to Chesapeake, th en back into Europe.

I managed to fix the Balkan for good, stupid hungarians better stop now. It's the 4th punitive war against them in 50 years. But as you can see Poland is a fucking mess but I had no option to force their cores back.

Nope, France has 6 relations and that gives them a -150 modifier. The modifier first appears with -50 modifier at full capacity. Half of the countries with the modifier have a -100 modifier or greater.

>>175573506
Happens, maybe they got in a situation where this occured. But usually they'll go for their limit and stick to it. IMO it's more realistic than when the AI just waited for your proposal.

Sure, the AI not waiting for a proposal from the player is more realistic but I still think that. That doesn't change the fact that the French AI is going over the limit in order to ally minors like Friesland and East Frisia.

Serious question now, what is the most advance reformed passed by an AI in all your games ?

I think I've seen them up to 5 once but never more. I think it's lame as most of the time they'll struggle to get one or maybe two but then collapse into a -0.20 routine. Could be fun to see Austria kick in time to time

Not out of the question, but I was trying to think of a natural way to inspire that. the least cheaty way i can think of is tagswitching to germany and demanding franche comte in a war i'd abandon them in and then ally with again later, the germs revanchism is higher than the french's somehow

I don't know if this is already common knowledge, but it seems that trust in EU4 is kind of bugged and will always reset to 30 on loading if you go under it as a tributary.SDo you can become Ming's tributary, annex their other tributaries, refuse to pay tribute, save, load and continue blobbing until you're bigger than them.

So is this primarily meant to be played a lan multiplayer game or something?

This is my first time ever playing a HoI game and It feels dick easy even though I have no idea what I'm doing.

I created my own faction but no one wants to join it.

I released korea and I'm trying to make them fascist now. I turned Siam Fascist, but they gave me a modifier saying "I'd rather join the Axis".

I'm assuming I can't fight the commies by myself.

instead of this happening through events, maybe european nations should be able to outright buy provinces from trade company regions without the nation consenting to it, if the province is devastated, has high autonomy and/or the nation is unstable.

imo the trade good province bonuses should be tied to the goods produced.

So while improving base production in a grain province won't earn you that much more money, it will give you more and more force limits.
