Even after considering this mechanic and that they're fully occupied, Mamluks are up 8.5k manpower while the Ottomans are hiring free Mercs. Once peace is signed they both will have maxed manpower in about a decade or two because the AI has insane hidden bonuses to compensate for attrition. It's not that "gamey" because there's no much use in it but slowing down the Ottomans a little while making sure that the Mamluks will have a civil war so you conquer them easier next war

Really? When and how?
>>
>>184239713
Austria blobbed pretty hard into Slavland. So did Russian in Central Asia. That's why the missions, decisions and events represent this and makes you expand into these regions.

That's why there should be some sort of even harsher penalty if you are blobbing outside of your "Greater X" territory. However, that would mean a whole new level of abstraction and shit like trade networks and diplomatic agreements represented just by a rebellion modifier.

>>184239491
in my opinion they should just make a game were you can't blob ahistorically not because of railroading, but because of the historical consequences it would have.

why didn't greece colonize johore at 1840? because the mainland was unstable and poor, they had no ships that could safely travel all around africa and asia, they had no officials who knew how to manage a colony, they had no political support to send thousands of soldiers across the world for a campaign that could fail, they couldn't spare the soldiers as they were needed for a potential war with the ottomans and they would be intercepted by the great powers who wouldn't accept a shithole getting those gold mines.

if those things can be well modeled, then there shouldn't be artificial limitations on what to do, as everything is a relatively accurate depiction of reality.

So now the occupied provinces are getting re-occupied by rebels, which is great, but it also seems that the game gave the Ottomans cores in Syria and they just got the provinces through the War Dynamism mechanic anyway, which is bad and shouldn't have happened because now I can't annex them.

Since the house of Bdin and the emperor of Byzanz are bound by marriage ties, Bdin could inherit some of the Byzantines recently conquered land in moldavia, as the emperor died. Bdins luck ran out as a marauding group of wallacheians took charge of the recent powershift and attacked the city of moldavia. Before our troops could engage, the damage was already done. The rebels took the city and declared independence.

But as the glorius king of bdin came back from his (re)conquest he had to realize that his worst fears have come true. The battered and declining Byzantine empire got completely devoured by the muslim hordes. Constantinople glorius gem of the east got captured in a shoking blitz campaign of engyptian plunderers.

Would it be possible to mod in a decision or something in EU4 that'd let you turn certain terrain types into grassland or farmland - sacrificing defensiveness (and some money or mana) for cheaper development and more building slots?

Like, let's say you're Britain and you've conquered Ireland. It's mostly woodland. Could you mod in a decision like, "Enact land clearing in Ireland", with the requirements of controlling Ireland, having certain tech, some mana and money, and the effect of changing all Irish woodland terrain provinces into grassland provinces? Or is terrain hard-coded?

I like some of the new resources, and as far as I know, it's more thoroughly developed. I have both now, but I always used the variations of Pop Demand Mod, when it was basically the only mod. HPM has alot of africa as "african minor" where as PDM has a bunch of different groups. Not that it really matters, a nigger is a nigger.

One thing I do recognize now though, since re-installing, is elections are very easy to control in PDM as opposed to HPM. So there's that.

>>184251997
I haven't played enough of HPM to know everything that it has. I'm basically assuming it is because it has been a mod in development since Victoria 2's release, with many versions, and lots of submods. It's what I always used.

How about some of these HPMophiles tell us what it has, and why we should use HPM over PDM. I don't want to invest my weekend playing a game only to find it's shit and the other one is better.

PDM is just bloat at this point. There are way too many RGOs and the economy is even more broken than HPM. It doesn't help that each province can only produce 1 RGO at a time so you either end up with way too much useless RGOs or nowhere near enough of the important RGOs.

HPM has a better treatment of pops, assimilation and the New World than any other V2 mod. The economy is not nearly as easy-mode as PDM. Cheesy strategies like rushing healthcare have been accounted for where possible.

And it runs noticeably faster than PDM.

>>184252652
The Quota immigration is something really interesting since it actually works and attracts immigrants with high literacy.

That's the only good thing about PDM. It was THE mod before since it had stuff like Great Wars and Scramble for Africa, however, these are now part of the expansion.

PDM and HPM are pretty much the same now, except for the huge bloat that PDM has, which the AI doesn't know how to use. I prefer HPM than PDM.

Soon. When the whole border is fortified with multiple 4 level forts I'll bait them into a war and let them try to siege them all, as most of them are in a mountain. The weak spot of the Ottomans is that they waste too much manpower on attrition and they only have 250k of it before their stacks start melting down. 250k is very easy to melt with forts if its easy in the desert without them >>184239210

Anyway, here's how the AI will think in this invasion if I'm unlucky, or even worse if I'm lucky. The red circles are current level 4 forts in mountains while the blue circles are future forts that will be built soon. By the time their army reach the green lines, they'd already have upwards of 300k in attrition. It's quite easy to win after that

I'm also going to wait until I have a massive stockpile of manpower and cash, along with 3 more military tech so I can upgrade all those forts to level 6. There's no way I can lose this war. Once I wear them down from the attrition they automatically lose every future war with me

Fuck this game. Playing as Serbia is hell. I never got to claim Greater Serbia. I got that decision that turned Serbia into Yugoslavia. The AH never fell and Russia, my only ally who could do stuff like actually helping me in war imploded and is now shit.

I let the fascist win and went full Hitler (got into massive debts and spent everything on tanks) since I was bored. The frenchies lost the Great War so Germany is now even more powerful.

Someone pls give me some tips on how to properly play as Serbia.

There are over 100k Circassian pops at game start, or 400k people, and a majority of them are killed off by Russia by event. Russia gets no infamy or militancy to their main culture pops from it. Meanwhile, there are only around 20k Patagonian pops, so there really shouldn't be much militancy or consciousness gain from it at all. I might tweak it though when I make it so that its more like 90% of the Patagonian pops rather than a full 100%.

Here you go. I color coded provinces based on how much immigration I think they would get. Green is the capital, so it would get the most immigration. Red are the flatlands, which would get just a little bit less than the capital. Yellow are the mountains and hills, so they would get slightly less than the flatlands. Finally, blue is Tierra del Fuego, which should get little to no immigration, at least until later on in the century.

Also, if its possible, I need to find a way to split up immigration from large countries like Russia so that they don't flood a single province. In this run, I'm counteracting that by adding a large immigration push modifier to the province that they all migrated to - that may be the only way to do so other than making events specifically for Russia to handle Jewish immigration from them.

Here's the modifier in question. I'm wondering if maybe the best way to handle immigration is to just have every single Jewish immigrant go to New Jerusalem, and then just have them migrate naturally to the rest of Israel. After, say, 50 years, the modifier could be removed.

Your nation has nothing to do with relations, they are random at each start anyway, just like resources, take what you like

At dealing with the AI
Sometimes they are dicks and gang up on you, just keep in mind that diplomacy in koh is retarded. You can white peace any nation you are at war with in about 2 minutes with a bribe exept when they realy fucking hate you

Or you break the game by abusing the shitty balance. The tactican ability of an marshal gives them the ability to build ridiculously overpowered forts which shoot salves at enemies at the strategic map and on top of that have an defense multiplier up to 250%(!) AND is stackable with other generals talent giving you FUCKING 500% DEF BONUS(!!!!) WHICH IS STACKABLE WITH OTHER TALENTS LIKE FEAR.
Enemies litteraly disband immediately after they touch your fort, fuck cities, FORTS are the way to defend your lands

Yeah, I changed the capital because I didn't like the placement of the red dot representing the capital on the map. If I find out how to move it, I'll change it back to the default IsraelMod capital of 2396.

As for pop movement, they won't actually do it by themselves. Due to the Jewish Farmlands modifier, it's impossible for any farmers to become unemployed and thus want to move.

With the modifier I added, it's started to really spread out the population, and in just a couple of years. I'm really starting to like the idea of just having all Jewish pops come to New Jerusalem, and then naturally migrating to the rest of Israel. It spreads them out pretty evenly among the terrains, with the flatlands getting the bulk of the migrants while Tierra del Fuego gets barely any.

It's a bit rng-based, but usually you want to take a bunch of states from Austria in one fell swoop, rather than one province at a time. The time to do this should be when Italy forms and tries to liberate north italy.

I had to start this run again since I wanted to put in CanOmer's map, but it would keep crashing my original save game.

For several years the Wallachians took their time building up an alliance to defeat the Ottoman with - envoys were sent from Tirgoviste to the great kings of Europe, most of whom were sent back with nothing in either hand for the Wallachian duke. Each of the great lords made their excuses, each were too wary of their neighbours to send soldiers so far away, each were too greedy to fight for the cause of another. Each, that is, except for the Italians. With Mohammedans lurking beyond their seas to the south they and their eastern possessions under the threat of an expansionistic Ottoman they saw that it was definitely in their interests to give aid to the Wallachians.

Genoa, Napoli, and Venetia headed sent their own envoys with gold and promises of soldiers. Then for four years Duke Mircea Basarab waited, watching to the north as the Moldavians were taught to fear again the masters of the steppe, watching to the south as the Ottomans, with their Balkan allies, poured more and more soldiers against the Timurid meat-grinder.

In 1403 he perceived it was time and declared his crusade against the Mohammedan menace. Venetia and Genoa joined without hesistation, but Napoli sent only silence - war with France had turned their gaze away.

The war lasted for four years. Wallachia had been devastated, but the money that came in from the rich Italian merchants allowed Duke Mircea to hire a large force of Hungarian and Greek mercenaries to persecute the conflict. The Duke's timing had been perfect for the powerful Ottoman Sultan died from a wasting disease in the east, leaving his four year old son, Mehmet the first of his name, to take the throne. Even though at the end it was only the Genoans and the Wallachians who were willing to fight the Turk sought peace at any cost, even though they still had armies in the field and untouched territories.

Duke Mircea demanded they recognise his control over the castles and towns he had taken, hand back those they had taken from him, and pay an indemnity of fifty pounds of gold. On top of it all he demanded they recognise the independence of the Greeks who were in armed insurrection in their lands.

Mircea was completely astonished when they agreed. The decision cut in half their possessions and even forced them to move the young Mehmet to the old capital in Anatolia. Meanwhile their Balkan possessions were under threat from a Bulgarian uprising, though the Wallachian Duke was uncertain if this was a good or bad thing for his people.

Nonetheless, this was a much better outcome than he could have ever expected. Now he turned his gaze back home. The people must be fed, clothed, and armed for the next war to come. And taught the meaning of obedience and fortitude. Too many had surrendered too quickly when the Ottomans had first come.

The next six years of Duke Mircea Basarab's reign saw fighting against the Mongols and the full scale revolt of the Bulgarians against their Ottoman masters. For a while the Wallachians looked on, then they decided to secure a number of the Bulgarian cities to protect them against the anger of the tiny Sultan.

With the truce ended with the Ottomans the Duke considered how he could safeguard the rest of the Bulgarian people from the Mohammedan's wrath.

They're relatively fine economically but that doesn't matter. What matters is that if they ever declared war on me they'd instantly melt their small army on my level 6 forts which now surround them. Once that tiny 40k army is gone they're gone as well, and even 100k manpower in reserves cant help them either

If they get in a war with Europe I'm attacking them instantly

That's true but I don't have the money to fight such a war yet (need 1k stockpiled minimum) while I'm still working on upgrading the forts and each costs like 300 ducats.

I'm just taking a quick moment to post this mess.

Since I've been fighting near constant wars against countries that every decent christian hates I've somehow managed to come out on top. I'm not even save scumming to help this along. All the merchant republics except the Hansa and most of the big kingdoms in the area have been throwing war subsidies at me to thank me for fighting their enemies so I'm not even losing money from all this. In fact I'm able to recruit mercenaries any time my manpower drops below being able to replace my losses in the field.

Newfriend here.

I've been playing ck2 as my first grand strategy game for the past couple of days. I decided to give myself a challenge and chose to start as a young count with 1 county in the Kingdom of Lombardy. A few years later I have 2 counties and I'm rebelling against my liege, the duchess, for independence when out of nowhere I'm elected king of Lombardy.

Is the election system just random or something or does it heavily favour the player?

how do I get the AI to understand that it can't win this revolt war based on occupation alone? the revolters have had the manpower to wrap the war up for 10 years, they've been at 98% for at least 5 years, their warscore doesn't increase from further occupation and all my lands are occupied so I literally can't do shit but fast forward and watch the dumbass fucking piece of shit AI ballet around itself year after year after year after year after year

seriously how do you make a game this bad?

is there any AI mod that could save me or is this game actually completely fucking terrible?

No, biggest detriment to prolonged warfare is the cost of raised levies (unless you have a strong economy you will bleed money every month) negative vassal opinion (feudal vassals don't like having their levies raised for long periods) and attrition (only nomads have manpower pools, so with the exception of retinues regular levies don't reinforce throughout the war)

So a while back, I saw someone use cultural conversion in EU4 to completely transplant the Cherokee into Texas.

I'm thinking of doing a USA run and doing something similar, but instead of just moving the culture, I'll move it somewhere, then release it as a vassal or client state.

What would be a good native culture to move, and where should I put it? Give a couple Midwest states to the Fox or Illini? Plant the Chickasaw over in Salt Lake City?
>>

Alright then, I'll make a puppet out of whatever Midwestern native is strongest and give them Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. I'll culturally convert all the provinces to their culture, give them to the vassal, turn them into a March and they can be my buffer against whatever the hell is in Canada.

Finally have enough money to buy a new Grand Strategy game. Which one should I get?

EUIV I thought I've been missing out a lot on recently, lots of people seem to love it. And as for HOI4, I feel like I've had enough of HOI3 for now and want to see what's different about it.

EU4

It's really the best. The only reason /gsg/ hates it because it's mainstream. A few years ago when no one played EU3 or EU4, /gsg/ loved it. Now that it's the main grand strategy game being played, they hate it. 4chan has always been contrarian.

It has the easiest learning curve too.
>>
>>184329314
>a few years ago when no one played EU3 or EU4
>or EU4
EU3 dropped off, but EU4 wasn't exactly well-received on launch and it's not gotten better since.

Besides, if it was all contrarian bullshit we wouldn't have CK2 here at all.
>>
>>184329314
Cheers, I'll download it for now and give it a go. Never got the chance to fully play EU3 either so it's nice to have a fresh time period.

EU4 may have not be well received, but it's the most popular and has been for well over a year or so.

CK2 isn't played by half as many.

What sort of an actual retard makes argument by popularity? Gas yourself.
>>
>>184329724
I'm going to be the good guy for once and not meme on you. Don't listen to the faggots telling you to play V2 because its outdated garbage and has one cookie cutter build that applies for every nation - once you learn it you learn every nation. The "pops" are irrelevant and you have no control over them. The reason they tell you V2 is because they're redditors trying to fit in and still haven't played that shit game to death

As for which you should play, I'd go with EU4 as well but I saw that you want to buy it. Don't, it costs about $200 total and you can't play without the latest DLCs. Do this instead https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=63384&hilit=europa+universalis (download Whole Game section + 1.22.1 update)

That's not contrarianism, it's just the population of the thread having a different opinion. Actual contrarianism would be a sudden dip in opinion with EU4's spike in popularity.

Having played most Paradox games to death, V2 has the least amount of sitting around waiting for something to happen when you're not trying to blob everywhere.
>>
>>184330532
>>184330453
Go to any theme specific board on 4chan. They will almost always hate the mainstream topic from that genre.
>>
>>184330739
>V2 has the least amount of sitting around waiting
That's true, because it has the least amount of overall gameplay for a campaign. Compare one of those campaigns that the EU4/CK2 lads are posting for days to a V2 one that finishes in 4 hours. It's a very shallow game with no gameplay and the only reason its liked is because of contrarianism

>>
>>184330874
You made it too obvious with the last sentence. Almost got me too.
>>
>>184331013
But it's true? Even an unmodded CK2 has about 3 times more depth than the modded V2. You can't build about 80% of the factories because they're unprofitable and not a part of the cookie cutter build and you can't really research different techs with every new game because its inefficient. Moreover, if you start as an irrelevant nation you'll stay as an irrelevant nation until the end because no matter how much pops you encourage your demographics will always be shit and your gameplay impaired. The combat is also fucking trash and so is the artificial "economy" that doesn't function as intended

Not good.
>>
>>184331424
You don't have to be the best when you start of an irrelevant little nation, you can just make the best shithole possible.

>Can't build about 80% of factories
That's an outright lie, especially if you're a shitty country that needs to secure some basic manufactured goods so the AI fucking around with spheres doesn't cripple you.

>can't really research different techs
You can though. There are techs that are universally good at any time, but you can have situations where you want to tech something else instead because of more immediate concerns like your economy collapsing or a likely war or a rush to grab a few colonies as a secondary power. Naval is the only tab that offers almost nothing.

Paradox's other games are also worse for this, if you hadn't noticed.

>combat is also fucking trash
It's functional, the AI is just stupid (which is, again, true for every Paradox game - and almost every game).

>artificial "economy" that doesn't function as intended

It seems that they got it from an event by becoming the emperor or something. It's temporary and will slowly melt down to their original cap, which is 270k, and 270k is very easy to defeat because all my forts on that side are level 6 as well as in mountains

My liege got invaded by muslims and they took my primary title (Kingdom of France). I had a county outside the de jure kingdom, County of Agen. I want to join the duchy of Aquitaine and politik my way up to that kingdom title and abandon France which is now run by muslims.

tl;dr: how do i get rid of my primary title (kingdom of france) to become a count again.

That was an excellent war - I got a very good province that will turn into a fort for the next war while the Turks are cut in half due to Sinai, but also while they're heavily indebted and manpower-starved, sprinkled with a very high War Exhaustion from their losses which means a lot of rebels quite soon

The best part - truce runs out in 10 years after which I'll repeat exactly the same thing but better

In order to make it split up properly you need to hold an equal number of kingdoms to sons and have land within each kingdom, otherwise it just disperses it randomly.

I tried to do "A Sun God" -achievement in EU4, went pretty good initially. I blobbed as fast as reasonably possible in both directions and managed to reform/westernise with the help of French colony but then French started fighting me. Managed to beat them of twice but then they came with 50k troops and 6-3-2-1 general.

How bad are Aristocratic ideas since I took them also was it overkill to take both Exploration and Expansion ideas? Economic would've been really great with all the gold mines. Also I probably had opportunity to build navy that would've stopped frogs from landing to my shores but I didn't since I got used to idea of being outmatched at sea. Also should I have colonised my imminent area instead of trying to grab all the coastal provinces? When war prevented me colonising contested areas I sent colonist to empty province near my central regions and it turned out to have gold in it.

Yes, a lot, and I'm forced to use mercs because of my terrible manpower, and I have a terrible manpower because my estates are too powerful and leech my provinces, and that happens because I'm constantly having to expand or declare wars and use my mana on purging/coring/stabilizing instead of getting the ideas I need to reduce estate autonomy

EU4 used to be decent it's not anymore. I defended the game until they put institutions in is to make the Kongo have higher tech than France by 1650. They still haven't fixed this because the main fanbase is reddit. Look at the game start scenarios to see how bad they fucked up with the last 4-5 patches. Also, the blobbing was bad before, but it's even worse now.

Jesus christ, there are still peoples nowadays who use that shitty retort? ''If you don't like something, its because its popular hurr durr'' like honestly, what the fuck?

But in the end it doesn't matter because the battle mechanism and algorithm suck ass in this game and make victory only attainable by pure luck or overwhelming number of troops that allow you to compensate the shitty rng, just as worst as 4x battles of rock, paper and scissor.

Also wasn't there a lot of bias when it came to political choices and events in EU4? Like multi-culti options having little to no downside, the ottomans being OP and shit like that? Never actually played, just seeing the maps made me sickly so I never bothered to look deeper into it.
