>So benefits of plurality for pop chance to join a rebel organization should be higher, if plurality is high, for more "Liberal" rebels and if plurality is low, the chances would be higher for more autocratic rebels.
Yes, as I see it that represents what I think plurality broadly should, which is social openness and willingness to compromise. POPs in societies with high plurality but low opportunity for expression or support will rebel in favor of those things (liberals, socialists, to an extent an-libs), whereas POPs in societies with low plurality--which I think can broadly be referred to as a sate of democratic crisis--will favor restoration of order or glory through the use of a "strong man," IE dictator.

>But in the event I do these changes and plurality falls in autocracies. Wouldn't that make rebels there worthless? The country is already autocratic and has low plurality.
I don't think pluralism should fall in autocracies or dictatorships as much as it should be tempered, with a very slow rise. In nations which are absolutist and have the autocracy NV the growth should be almost negligible even with decent CON, but I don't think it should ever be entirely stopped. The goal for absolutist states should simply be to fight against the rising as best they can.

Similarly, as I see it, it's not the dictatorship's job to reduce plurality through further decisions/events after they've taken power, but to KEEP it down. Dictatorships should almost invariably already be apluralistic from the moment they come to power, because the conditions which precipitate their rise are almost invariably going to be a state which experienced democratic crisis and a loss of pluralism prior to resorting to an authoritarian solution (in in-game terms: events, decisions, revanchism, war losses, etc., which reduce the value). In order to retain order, then, the goal is merely to keep that apluralism, not to pull it down from a high.

>>183178336
I like your thinking, but in that case there should be a way for democracies to lose their pluralism, facilitating democratic crises and subsequent dictatorships. Currently, there's no way for that to happen unless very specific random events fire far more regularly than is really possible. Also, how do communist dictatorships play into it? Are they pluralistic?

At full mobilization I have 100-125k, and it's only enough to stave off the inevitable for up to two years. I'm 100% open to someone stepping in and playing as Mexico/the CSA for me as a learning experience. I've been playing for years and I'm fully willing to admit that I'm no pro.

Anyway, the states look like this right now. I need to check pops and decide on istria, but they will probably be left in, at least for now.

>>183178336
The problem is, I can't affect growth. I can only take chunks out of it.

>Dictatorships should almost invariably already be apluralistic from the moment they come to power, because the conditions which precipitate their rise are almost invariably going to be a state which experienced democratic crisis and a loss of pluralism prior to resorting to an authoritarian solution
That's the thing, while I agree a rebellion should lower plurality, it shouldn't kill it all. It should reduce it by 50% (though I can't do that, so it will always be a fixed number, probably -30 or -35) and the rest would be brought down by an increase in autocracy. It if starts too low, the initial instability becomes too irrelevant. maybe.

>POPs in societies with high plurality but low opportunity for expression or support will rebel in favor of those things (liberals, socialists, to an extent an-libs), whereas POPs in societies with low plurality--which I think can broadly be referred to as a sate of democratic crisis--will favor restoration of order or glory through the use of a "strong man," IE dictator.
It makes perfect sense, thank you very much for your input in this. I will make it so low plurality (less than 35%) affects autocracy-seeking rebels by making them more likely while high plurality (more than 70%) makes liberal rebels more likely. Between 35 and 70 it would be a neutral zone.
>>
>>183178863
>in that case there should be a way for democracies to lose their pluralism, facilitating democratic crises and subsequent dictatorships.
Right, which is my concern with this. Democracies should lose pluralism through revanchism certainly, and if they have the Autocracy NV they should gain it more slowly, but the other situations where pluralism should be lost are probably either difficult or potentially even impossible to implement (obviously HPM would know more about it than I do). Labor unrest should be a major one, to represent draws to both fascism and communism, but how could that be modeled? Lost wars should of course also factor in, but that could be abused by players to keep a state's plurality artificially low, which directly impacts their research points. Plurality loss on scandals, party scandals, dismantlement, and yellow journalism would also need to be implemented or their values increased, as well. And that's not even considering other factors which I'm invariably missing.

>Also, how do communist dictatorships play into it? Are they pluralistic?
All dictatorships should be apluralistic, but I think communist and anarcho-liberal rebels should have a slight benefit to rising chance from high plurality (or say rather that it doesn't dissipate entirely). All extremist ideologies should have their greatest support at very low levels of plurality, however, with fascists and reactionaries gaining a larger boost than communists, who should still have their largest draw at minimum plurality, but less total added benefit than fascists/reactionaries, based simply upon communism's ostensible internationalism, brotherly unity, etc. It's difficult to advocate that easily in apluralistic conditions, and so the main risk for a nation to fall to communism should remain conditions in the nation itself, although since communism has benefits to rising chance at higher plurality than other extremist ideologies do, it's still a threat at all pluralities.

>The problem is, I can't affect growth. I can only take chunks out of it.
Ah, now that is a problem. So you wouldn't be able to include passive reductions scaled to revanchism? If so I truly wonder how extensive and perhaps even process-intensive a rework on this scale would need to be. Probably too much to bother with, even though I think it is more realistic.

>That's the thing, while I agree a rebellion should lower plurality, it shouldn't kill it all.
I don't mean it like that, I mean that, for rebels to rise in sufficient numbers to be successful, the dictatorship should have already been undergoing a crisis of democracy when it was a democracy, and should already have low plurality from beforehand. A dictatorship which is formed in conditions of high plurality should be just as unstable as if a republic is formed in conditions of low plurality.

That said, since you can only take chunks out, I suppose that's something of a moot point. Although I think that plurality should perhaps not be the currency required for totalitarian decisions, but instead a reduction of plurality is the reward for increasing totalitarianism; plurality should still be a threat to the dictatorship and shouldn't be very easily wiped away. Apluralism should be a pre-coup prerequisite for a dictatorship which is stable from the moment it's established, otherwise it will need to go through a long period of struggle on the path to totalitarianism.

>It makes perfect sense, thank you very much for your input in this.
Very welcome. See >>183179625 for further thoughts if you're interested, although to be fair now I think it's probably impossible to model plurality as I think would really need to be modeled to pull off everything perfectly.

It's being difficult to be a great power in this campaign. But as I got a neat flag, it boosts the morale of chink hordes to achieve pic related for Chinksraum

I don't know if it is about coding of the game, Viets became like %30 of the population in the states that I didn't own at the begininng of the game. I even managed to get 1% bureaucrat to make that part of Guanxi a state. I don't observe such behaviour with European pops, I wonder if it is hardcoded somehow.

>>183179876
Well the most obvious would be those who enact the islamic law decision or whatever it is. Historically and within the timeframe of the game conversion to the islamic state religion allowed less taxes and was thus encouraged, I also think a level of militancy and perhaps an associated event that decreases non-state religion pops by a little bit can be used to simulate pogroms associated with this anti-heretic environment. An encourage pogrom decision for all absolute monarchies should act against a specific religion like the genocide decision and then cause a decrease in pops, small level of conversion and immigration push in effected regions due to the religious violence

I'd also like to see a decision or maybe a slider or something to pay to encourage christian missionaries in colonial states, with higher efficiency on animists, then buddhists, then hindus. Jews and muslims would be exempt from this. I know missionaries can be encouraged but just in foreign countries and it doesn't have the same effect.
Within the timeframe of the game entire ethnic groups have had significant christian minorities develop through foreign occupation and missionary work

Hello, HPM, as you know in the game by the end the pops are 10% conservative, 40% liberal, 40% sofialist, and 10% other, I respectfully request you make farmer pops much more inherently conservative so this doesn't happen, it's frankly unbelievable traditional conservatism is dead by 1936.

Also, aristocrats liberal and socialist tendencies should be ENTIRELY removed, for one because the appointed upper house reform rests upon these pops being more conservative/reactionary than their counterparts, but more importantly because it simply does not make sense to have commie aristocrats.

And I don't just mean change 0.9 to 0.8, I mean change it to 0.5, if not lower.

Please don't fight me over this, laddo, I've not been well.

Okay, I didn't actually mean entirely, and yes, I know there were handfuls of socially and politically "revolutionaries" such as Barnardo, but I would argue this is better represented by the capitalist pop.

The islamic law decision doesn't exist anymore, and the whole thing was a mistake. Especially considering the Dhimmi have protection, though it wasn't always enforced.

In any case, moralism provides a bonus to conversion, so you can pick a party with that.

Only animists can be trully converted if there's not a pop of the same culture in the same province.

For some bizarre reason Paradox never implemented the functionality for it to work like a modifier, hence why it will be taken out in chunks.

I do agree with you, the problem is how to wipe it. Events? Decisions? Probably events.

I can't do everything perfectly since it can't work like a modifier, but plurality will still play a big role when differentiating democratic from autocratic regimes, hopefully.

Anyhow I'm back in burgerland now, although it'll be another week or so before I'm actually home again. In the meantime I don't have much to do, so I've been playing HIP (although my laptop runs it like trash) to try to get a feel for what rules I'd like to use in my run. Obviously a lot of this is subject to change and I'll need to do another test run before any potential AAR could begin, but this is giving me some ideas about what to do and how the game performs under certain conditions. Lowered demesne value, for example, doesn't actually seem to make realms weaker; if anything, it's kept everything far more stable, at least seemingly.

In this game I've personally killed 4 Caliphs, there have been 5 Caliphate regencies for underage heirs, the current Caliph is 1000 in debt with 4 loans, and I've beaten him in both an offensive and defensive war, yet he has no serious rebellions. I suspect this is because the AI is giving out land to fewer rulers but creating higher-level titles for them, since land can't so easily be concentrated in individuals, leading to a loyal base of rulers who never feel the need to rebel. This is just assumption on my part, but as historical as a 50% demesne value would be, it seems like it behaves poorly with the game's mechanics.

Another example is the Byzantine Empire, which at one point had a Muslim heir that was underage. That heir not only successfully took control of the Empire despite major rebellions, but he held it together and converted most of it besides. I was forced to place a Armenian Paulician claimant on the throne in order to finally end the Islamic push into Europe, and now the Empire is about 50% Islamic, 20% Orthodox, 20% Iconoclast, and 10% Paulician, yet is still holding together just fine. Entirely unreasonable, and I have to hope that it's the demesne setting which is responsible for it.

It's not actually that hard. All you need to do is (as qing) only build soldiers in pops that have Taiping cores. Then, when the rebellion hits, Qing will have no army.
You still shouldn't do it tho, china is fucking boring.

When would you start going for full combat width with artillery in eu4?

Here's a list what single regiments of each type deal in damage for each tech level.

Tech 25 and 26 artillery regiments from backrow deal more damage than cavalry regiments.

The art also has the added benefit of protecting the units in front of them as well.
Thinking a minimum of artillery for full siege bonus at least.
Then full combat width of artillery since at least tech 25, but probably earlier than that.

Literally any unciv that doesn't have a Chinese primary culture. For some reason rpoints via conquest were turned off for china in HPM, which means that you literally just sit around and wait a million years until you finally get to press the china wins button.

If you don't like it, make an AAR of your own, or just don't read mine. It's a struggle to even get the motivation to finish an AAR sometimes, and I'm certainly not going to disable an option that I enjoy which helps keep me focused and interested in the game simply because you don't like it.

Victoria 2 won't be up for another AAR for some time, I think, but it's possible I could try that in the future.

Typically I can actually make Austria and even Russia's literacy quite strong, but the problem is as always just one of tedium. Still, Planned Economy is in itself tedious, so I've already experienced some of that. It's not outside the realm of possibility, but there's still other things on the table first. I'm really very set on CK2 as the next AAR, at least.
>>
Like this >>183198819 but with Pomerania added and with the Polish corridor also added, but no Posen. If Napoleon was Prussian then they'd still want a Peace with Honor thing so Prussia isn't too weak. I'd argue even give it Silesia.

Nah dude, you do you. This is your mod, keeping it different means keeping it fun. This is, in my opinion, the most aesthetic incarnation of Brandenburg-Prussia we've had, after the acquisitions under the Great Elector, but that was in the mid to late 17th century so after your point of divergence. I'd maybe put in decisions that lets this happen. The Hohenzollern/Brandenburg had a claim on Pomerania for a long time before that, so maybe giving a decision that adds cores to Pomerania Anterior might be a fun idea.

If I were to go anywhere else it would be too simple and too typical. The reason I'm so interested in the Baltic (outside of Scandinavia) is precisely because of how poor it is, how surrounded you are at the start of the game, and how unusual it is to play in the region. There's a great deal of dynamism there, and it's not somewhere where you typically see a kingdom rise up.

That said, as I said I'm also considering a more traditional Norse game, potentially as a migrant. But I dislike that idea compared to a Lithuanian run.

I wasn't talking about Fascism my dude. You have absolutely not a fucking clue what socialism is.

Furthermore, Mussolini didn't give a fuck about economic policy, his economist advisor instituted radical liberal reforms after the Fascists gained power and only later was corporatism (a right-wing class-conciliatory economic structure under strong state guidance, so basically the exact opposite of Marxism) instituted when the new, free-trade, low regulations policy lead the country to the brink of economic collapse.

You're also talking about Mussolini like he was some fucking ideological scholar, when history shows us that he was the most inconsistent motherfucker around on nearly all topics, flip-flopping on almost everything at least once. The man didn't come up with an ideology, he made up shit as he went along to fool gullible discontents like you.

"Fascism entirely agrees with Mr. Maynard Keynes, despite the latter's prominent position as a Liberal.

There is scarcely anything to object to in it and there is much to applaud." Benito Mussolini

>Socialism is the "social good" above individual liberty.

Nope. That's wrong.

Also, Fascism doesn't really have a single axiom. Scholars have been arguing about the exact nature of fascism for decades and there are several different views on the issue.

Griffin (1991) described Fascism as having three core tenets:
>the rebirth myth
>populist ultranationalism
>the myth of decadence

Britt (2003) actually found a much larger number (14) of fascist characteristics by comparing historical fascist regimes, though they are more political realities and less ideological tenets. Check it out if you're actually interested.

Except Mussolini changed what fascism is multiple times. It used to just be authoritarian, irredentist nationalism with liberal economic policy and no racial or anti-semitic components, then became corporatist and heavily influenced and supported by the Catholic church, then became very anti-clerical, then added a new racial component when Hitler, who Mossulini publically slammed, demonised and denounced before the Italian invasion of Ethiopia, became his best buddy.

Mussolini himself didn't even fucking know what Fascism was. Italian Fascism was just extremely populist realpolitik with which Mussolini tried to build an ideological base for his hungry powergrabs. Hitler was the first fascist who first built an ideology upon a previous world view, then implemented it accordingly. Mussolini was just slinging slogans like a little kid for the majority of his political career.

As you can read in my post, yeah, Mussolini deviated extremely far away from his original conception of fascism and just flip-flopped around a lot.
The more concise definitions of fascist theory actually come later, by people like the Strasser brothers and other fascist thinkers around the world.

If you feel like actually reading up on the topic instead of being a salty manbaby, you can read up on the controversy between different thinkers' definitions of fascism, both from fascists adn otherwise, here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_fascism#Benito_Mussolini

Which work of literature? There's several, ranging from the really early national socialists who were literally just nationalists who thought the word socialist looked trendy, to the strasserist revolutionaries. They all contradict each other because surprise: as in Spain and Italy, the important bit is getting into power, not what you say to get there.

>De Stefani was appointed by Mussolini in 1922 as the finance minister. He was a liberal economist and so favoured policies such as free-trade, lowering taxes without too much government interference and privatisation of businesses such as the communications industry.[1] He also undertook a thorough reform of the taxation system in Italy which was adjudged a success at the time, although it has been noted that the reforms he enacted had been laid out by his predecessor Filippo Meda but not enacted.[2] De Stefani took advantage of the dictatorial powers afforded to Mussolini's regime to enact these reforms, which had previously been blocked by parliament.[3]

>The economy prospered under de Stefani's direction, as part of a Europe-wide growth, although wages also fell under his direction.[1] He accomplished his goal of a balanced budget for the financial year 1924-25.[4] By mid-1925, however, the economy was heading towards crisis and Mussolini dismissed de Stefani, replacing him with the corporatist Giuseppe Volpi.[5]

Mussolini was also the leader of the Socialist party before he realised that he won't be able to grab power as effectively with them.

Started comparing artillery based on how many casualties they deny by giving half their defensive pips to the unit in front of them.
If you add that to the damage of artillery and compare that value with inf and cav they look a bit more appealing.
Start outperforming infantry at mil tech 22, go down a bit for two techs and then outperform them again.

Not sure when I'd start going for full artillery.
Depends so much on the money situation, you may go for full art much earlier if you have teh cash for it, but I think in most cases I'd just pay for a seperate army with just enough artillery for siegeing.

Need to have some art number to work with for each tech to compare leader fire and leader shock though.

At mil tech 16 Artillery perform at 70% of infantry.
Stay at 70% until 19, go down to 67% at tech 20, then 57% at tech 21, and then at 22 they're better.
Before tech 16 they don't even operate at half the power level of infantry.

Is Corporatism similar to Syndicalism?

"By September of 1943, Mussolini was heading a Nazi puppet state called the Italian Social Republic (RSI) in which he proposed additional "economic socialization." He began to display a renewed interest in his earlier radicalism. Claiming that he had never abandoned his left-wing ideals,32 "he returned to a type of socialism which once again attacked capitalism," in an effort to "annihilate the parasitic plutocracies."33 In February 1944, Mussolini's government devised a "socialization law" that called for more nationalization of industry and under which workers would participate in managing factories and businesses, along with land reform.34 The Italian Social Republic "obsessively emphasized" commitments to socialization and a "variety of fascist equalitarianism and an amplified fascist welfare state."35"

Insofar as they both invest power in the unions. But syndicalism actually makes the unions the government, whereas in corporatism usually the unions and employer associations are seen as subject to, and coordinated by, the government as a seperate, higher entity, and syndicalism usually involves the removal of the bourgeois class by appropriating the means of production from them and giving them into the hands of the workers that work there.

Fascist leaders deemed Italian corporations as "revolutionary," and claimed that the corporative state would "guarantee economic progress and social justice."15 Italian Fascist theories of corporatism arose out of revolutionary and national syndicalism that often paralleled the activities of the trade unions, craft guilds and professional societies. Mussolini acknowledged Fascism's socialist roots and influences. Among those whom he acknowledged as influencing Fascism were French Marxist Georges Sorel and French Revolutionary Unionist Hubert Lagardelle.16 Moreover, Mussolini was a union man: he decreed mandatory unionism for all Italian workers. It is true that Mussolini banned strikes, but Lenin had done the same in the Soviet Union.

They are almost the definition of classical liberalism. Which is primarily an economic theory. Mussolini himself said that classical liberalism has opposite values to his ideology. Then he implements classical liberalism almost by the book. Ergo, Mussolini implemented an economic policy that is, in his previous words, diametrically opposed to his ideology.

And anyone's supposed to believe that he's an ideologically consistent guy?

>>183216331
Except an authoritarian, ultranationalist capitalist welfare state is not socialist at all. Regardless of how much he said he hates capitalism, if he just exchanges his capitalist system for a state-capitalist system, then it's still capitalism. Which you would know if you knew anything about socialism. Maybe by reading Marx. You may wanna start with "The German Ideology", "Wage Labour and Capital" or just jump into "Capital Vol. 1" itself. I actually had quite a bit of fun starting off with the latter, though it is quite a thick read.

Except it doesn't say that, because it's called "Capital" and is about explaining capitalism. Marx was a scholar of capitalism, mostly what he did was examine.

Dictatorship of the proletariat doesn't mean what you think it means either. Marx framed it as the idea of one class imposing its will on another "dictating" society. For him the bourgeoisie were doing this to the proletariat as the feudal class had done to the bourgeoisie, so the next step was the proletariat imposing its will on society.

Not true at all. Most relevant classical liberals, such as Smith and Ricardo, actually emphasised the role of the state.

>this is going to need explanation

We are talking about socialist theory here, aren't we? That's >>183216331 this post indicates.
In Marxist theory (ignoring anal discharge tier ideology like late Leninism, Marxism-Leninism (Stalinism) and all the other disgusting tumors that grew out of that like Maoism), socialism can be described as a stateless, classless, moneyless society based on free association. So in theory, which I'm not saying I think represents a possible scenario, since I am not a socialist, once the revolution is over, authoritarianism is no longer possible in a socialist society.

>>183217550
>which explicitly calls for a dictartorship of the proletariat and the forceful abolition of private property

Well I think "Critique of the Gotha Programme" calls for that, but that's not socialism in Marxist theory yet. That's still part of the revolution itself, which Marx admits and Engels emphasises, is inherently authoritarian. After all, the working class is violently abolishing itself by abolishing the bourgeoisie, the state, etc. The revolution being authoritarian is not something that's denied by any orthodox Marxist worth their salt. But it's not socialism yet. Socialism is the state of affairs which has come about when the revolution ends, and until socialism is reached, the revolution is ongoing. Or so Marx says.

It's fucking stupid though, you get the treaty post modifier for RGO size but at the end of the day it's completely irrelevant. There doesn't seem to be any way of creating your own Hong Kong/Shanghai/Macau. In fact I tried Portugal quite some time ago and focused entirely on Macau, put every last dude in there and they all fucked off after I turned it into a state. In turn I colonized some African state and got massive colonial migration, after I turned it into a state the RGO was massive due to the Asia/African mines and farms and everyone just kept going/staying there instead of leaving.

Which suggests that the abolition of private ownership of capital is authoritarian while the maintenance of it is not, and misinterprets what a dictatorship of the proletariat is. I didn't realize the position of the other anon was an anarchist one.

>Not true at all. Most relevant classical liberals, such as Smith and Ricardo, actually emphasised the role of the state.

The state in classical liberalism has roles, and none of them give the state the power to confiscate your property at will like Mussolini did.

>We are talking about socialist theory here, aren't we? That's >>183216331 (You) this post indicates.

So in theory, which I'm not saying I think represents a possible scenario, since I am not a socialist, once the revolution is over, authoritarianism is no longer possible in a socialist society.

That's why it's a pipe-dream.Does anyone believe that after a revolution all the land and means of production will be distributed naturally in such a perfect way that a stateless-classless-moneyless society will happen without any conflicts whatsover?

Oh ok, so you don't need to abide by the ideology of socialism when the loosely-defined point where "the revolution ends" hasn't come yet.Based.

Why not take the regions and changeowner non-coastal provinces to Turkey? You have legitimate control over the territory at that point, so you're really just making up for poor game mechanics.

Once this game with France as an ally they won a war against Germany. Not Prussia, but Germany. Also Germany ended up losing East Prussia to Russia and Alsace-Lorraine to France, but ended up getting it back. In my experience Austria is much more competent than Russia, so it would have been nice fighting alongside Austrians than Russians who do more to lose us the war than actual Germans by losing literally every single battle.

Decided Austria was a lost cause and changed course to attempt to unite Yugoslavia. Apparently I need a province just above Serbia for that though. most likely gonna go beyond 1936 just because I want to see Germany dismantled. fight me.
