/gsg/, help me decide something.
I need to start placing regional capitals. I have plans to put one in Venice, Genoa, Provence, Ragusa, and Naples and Palermo when I conquer them
However, I am unable to decide where my capital should go. While Milan has served me well and has grown to be the largest city on the continent (620,000 rural and 520,000 urban with 8 upper class), a capital on the water in a coastal natural harbor would be the best for CE effectiveness.
In that regard, I'm leaning towards Naples, and it's southern location would allow better travel to my Balkans provinces, especially the Greek regions once I integrate those vassals, as well as the trade cities I plan on taking on the African and Iberia coast.
However, it's also Italy, and Rome feels fitting for the capital, all tho it is only sitting at 130,000 population.
Pls /gsg/, I've been sitting here for nearly half a hour trying to determine which would be best. Someone help a lad choose

>>186825737
Rome is the rightful capital of Italy. Grow it into a city to rival Milan for grandeur.

>>186825737
That looks a bit... bloated.

Commie Korea has to be the funnest game in liqqy, you spend half a century getting memed on by the entire world, followed by 50 years of rapid industrialisation, literacisation (That's a word, the greatest word, believe me, I know words.), and being able to mobilise 15% of your populace to defend the People's revolution, mass waves of dirt poor peasants poured into combat, and the best part is the entire world is too frightened to check you because you can meme them.

A minor crusade against the Ottomans was able to restore some land to the "Romans," although they're still a fourth-rate power. Hopefully in the future a Spanish naval buildup will allow for a more timely entry into conflicts between the Byzantines and Ottomans so the Byzantines can actually recover a bit.

Eirene's father had briefly converted to Catholicism, hence the alliance with Spain, but Eirene converted back to Orthodoxy when she took the throne what the fuck is it with Eirenes and cockblocking me with Orthodoxy. She doesn't have a child, though, and there's a potential Union in the future which could result in a Catholic/Trastamara Mediterranean, with the Byzantines in control of the Balkans and Anatolia, Jerusalem the near east, and Africa/Egypt the North African coast.

>>186828771
Fair point. I was allied to Poland for a while (they broke their alliance about 30 or 40 years after the revolution because they lost a war against Russia) and I had 100 Trust with them, so I avoided attacking them to avoid the stab hit.

In hindsight, I should have just spammed insults.

real shame you can't play as the governor of w/e chinese protectorate it is

given it'd be fictional to play like a landed character apparently but it'd be fucking fun to play as a direct extension of china

there better be a means to invade off-map china as a non-mongolian non-horde.

what's better to make a colony a state? encouraging bureaucrats or inmigration?

>>186831667
Check the bureacrats of the colony in question. If they're native then do NOT encourage them, as you'll just make more native bureacrats, if they're solely European then encourage them. No matter how long it takes they will eventually become a state.

Schlomo is going to continue doing in Italy with what he did to the entire Island of Sardinia: genociding Christians slowly by not letting them marry and importing hundreds of Ashkenazi Khazars.

>>186832796
Don't go Tsarist or Communist. Since a lot of nations are going to flip Syndicalist (the US almost always flips) try to remain the beacon of liberty in the world. Go democratic, or at the very least constitutional monarchy.

You aren't going to be able to do anything the first one-and-a-half years, but after those you should expand asap into the Caucasus for the oil. If Finland hasn't been conquered by the reds you should probably give them some freedom.

Take Ukraine and Belarus, vassalize everything else until the Carpathians. In the East you can aim for Vladivostok, and parts of Manchuria.

After that try to keep a healthy power balance in the world by cutting down either the Syndicalists or Germans.

Portugal has been fully annexed, and the Kingdom of Africa now exists, with its base in Carthage and with control over some small coastal ports throughout Tunisia. In addition, Spain has gained control of some ports in the Maghreb with an eye to preventing further Islamic incursions into Iberia. They'll also serve admirably as staging grounds for future incursions into Africa, as plans are already in readiness to expand the Kingdom of Africa to ensure a full land connection between all of its territories, although currently small ports are serving as Carthage's only means of communication to its isolated enclaves, and the King of Africa's writ does not even truly run within his own city.

The integration of Navarre has begun, and after it is finalized a Crusade will be called against the Mamluks to reconquer the Kingdom of Jerusalem. It's hoped that the still-childless Eirene Palaiologos will die in the interim, thereby securing a Catholic Empire of the Romans.

Why do reddit fucks keep clambering for V3? How can they look at the abject failure that was their last two games, HoI4 and Stellaris and think; "Yes, this is what we need. These are the people I want to make a sequel to Victoria 2.", hell, even their own shit memes (pic related) say goy4 and stellaris are trash, so why would they want them to make V3? Is it all paid shills from Parakikes or are they so naïve they genuinely think Paradox could make it well?

>>186855793
Well it was broke, from 2.0. The changes to stability modifiers and the like made it so that there were no idea trees or national ideas which actually reduced the stability timer, for example, and the default ideas for France (both their national ideas and the ideas they picked) resulted in France getting destroyed every game, because their estates were always too powerful and they could never rein in their vassals in time. The changes were necessary, they were just done poorly. I'm waiting for a few beta patches to hit before I switch over.

How

>>186860097
The pope receives extra income through indulgences after every succession (about 500-800, depending on how many rulers are Catholic). Every batch of income I got out of it I immediately dumped into Rome, along with the good income in general I was receiving. Soon enough after about a century Rome reached 10 urban pops. The next century it was about 45. Next one, 70, and so on until 150. I kept dumping most of my income into there as soon as possible until it was maxed out, but I did also get quite lucky and didn't get hit by a serious plague. Also got lucky and had my Burgher estate build two 10k+ buildings in it (the last two)

I've fully integrated Nevarre now, and am building the final forts in the region. The estates should soon remove all their local forts, which will leave me with greatly improved autonomy throughout the nation. The last of the Portuguese provinces have also been integrated, and I should have significantly improved forcelimits in the next decade or so.

I also gave the Kingdom of Africa some unique ideas which will make it more focused on conversion. Negative tolerance for heretics and heathens, missionary strength, and extra missionaries and papal influence are the highlights. Also some manpower and land forcelimit modifiers.

Far more importantly, though, Eirene did indeed die childless, and I've secured control over the Empire of the Romans. Now I can do something about making it live up to its name.

First order of business is linking Constantinople to Thessalonika, because the Empire's estates are currently in a spiral which is driving the country into the ground. After that the goal will just be to keep it as stable as possible and hope that religious conversion will eventually follow. The Empire will probably be more unstable than the Kingdom of Africa or Jerusalem will be, just because it's got so many accumulated estate privileges and so much land it's about to reclaim that I don't think it'll ever fully recover from the corruption it's suffering now (about 35%).

Was able to secure an excellent peace, especially since Byzantium had a lot of the provinces flip to them thanks to dynamism. I was even able to return a province in Cyprus to the Lusignan rulers there. Even though I've trisected the Ottomans I would've probably taken more, but their fleet was too powerful for mine to overcome. Naval programs I'm beginning now will ensure I can breach the strait during my next war, which will probably be after a stabilization campaign to strengthen the Kingdom of Africa.

Things have been moving slowly over the finishing touches, which usually take the longest. Most of the work is in under the hood stuff or stuff I had marked down to do some time ago.
I integrated the EIC minimod and re-did all organize/reorganize decisions for the colonial nations in Africa. A few decisions were missing (for Ghana and Burkina-Faso, for example). Both decisions will also now try to spread cores to historical regions and remove native tag cores.
That doesn't mean the dynamic spread of cores can't happen. It still does, but it will create conflicts between post colonial nations more often than not, rather than leaving places without cores.

Kokand and Kyrgyzstan are the same colour. One should be changed.

The end of the Tutankhamun's Tomb chain has a pop up for all countries, telling you who discovered the tomb, even if it wasn't you. The source of the Nile chain, Aegean civilisations and South Pole ones should have one as well so that you can see who won and change your sliders accordingly. It's just nice to know.

The only exception for this rule is South Africa, as it will be the only post-colonial nation that doesn't have all of the main cultures in their cores as accepted cultures. Therefore they will need cores there to keep the natives from assimilating, so a few native tags will have to remain.

I might re-do how assimilation work for natives in the future and replace the overarching ban to assimilation to a "segregations status" decision for the relevant countries. They would start segregated by default but you would be able to revoke that and replace it with an acceptance policy (segregated cultures added as accepted) or an assimilation policy (segregated cultures can assimilate into the main culture, but this would require that at least the majority of the country is of the main culture).

This would allow to dynamically create SAF-like scenarios in more colonial countries.

>>186868305
I will take a look, but I don't usually expect both countries to exist at the same time.

>The source of the Nile chain, Aegean civilisations and South Pole ones should have one as well so that you can see who won and change your sliders accordingly. It's just nice to know.

That exact thing happened in my last game. I don't have a screenshot unfortunately but it did happen.

My issue with this is that I don't really read them and they are just full of so much irrelevant crap. Having it be a global pop up like Tutankhamun's Tomb or The Communist Manifesto discovery is much more fitting.

Finally, and I almost forgot to mention, I redid all parties for post-colonial countries. Some used the generic "empire faction/royal faction/liberal faction". Angola and Mozambique used portuguese parties, which didn't make sense. I also added tags for Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu and Samoa. They extend through more provinces than their modern borders, but they mostly exist to stop natives from quickly assimilating in these places. Papua New Guinea covers all of New Guinea, but Indonesia remove the cores from the western parts as its cores spread.

Mercenaries. The Ottomans spam them to no fucking end, they double their armies with mercs after their manpower is exhausted. It's crazy and needs fixing.
Quantity ideas also have that effect, if the country is big enough.

This makes me wonder - when taking over Europe and setting up Napoleonic-style puppets to create tidy borders and not look like a horrendous blob, what's the correct number of puppets, and what should they own?

This Revolutionary Germany looks like it has France, Italy, Yugoslavia, Greece, the Netherlands, a very tiny Russia, Brittany and I think some kind of brown OPM in Sweden?

Personally, if I were Germany, I'd have just one client controlling both Brittany and France, directly annex most of the Netherlands (mostly the part north of the Rhine) and give the rest to France, and partition Hungary/Bohemia/PLC between direct annexation (Vienna, Sudetenland, Greater Poland and Lithuania), a west-Slavic puppet (Lesser Poland, Galicia-Lodomeria, the rest of Bohemia, Moldova and Slovakia), a Russian puppet (the Russian culture-group lands, mostly) and Yugoslavia (Hungary, Transylvania, Wallachia). Assuming I had all of Europe under my thumb, I'd also directly annex Switzerland, give all of Scandinavia to a Scandinavian puppet like the one there and set up a single puppet in Iberia for both Portugal and Spain's lands. Maybe have a Turkish puppet in Anatolia too (or maybe that could just be given straight to the Greek puppet and that renamed the Eastern Roman Republic or something). If I didn't set up the Turkish puppet, that'd give me 8 puppets total. Probably wouldn't want too many more than that given the limit on diplomatic reputations and the mana that'd burn through.

The segregation stuff isn't only for South Africa, it's more of a general mechanic for new world nations and Native American/Neo-African cultures and the colonial tags in Africa.
This way Mexico could go for native assimilation if they wished, but only in their own cores, and any nation in colonial africa could try to keep a minority rule without anyone assimilating, even without native cores.

Not really, just create a Jewish count with high stewardship and intrigue, give him one or two provinces in Sardinia and go to town.

Once you've conquered the entire island you probably want to submit to the ruling power in Italy at the moment, be it the Holy Roman Emperor or the King of Lombardy, unless you want to be Holy War'ed by everyone. Either by paying ducats or inviting Khazars get a million Jews in your court, who all will want to kill any non-Jew. Cleanse the island from all the Christians and scheme to ruin the Europeans from within.

Sicily is often a good second step to get.

I believe it's even more, actually. I think you can have Chiapas diplomatically annexed but you'd get a single province, so I took the entire state through the normal acquire state CB and just used the generic core integration events, which worked wonders since I somehow got Mayan as an accepted culture when Yucantan petitioned for annexation.
I wanted to get Hawaii too, but the British annexed before I became a GP.

Now that almost every single province is converted to Zoroastrian majority, it's time to expel the leftover minorities so they don't grow and convert the province back to Sunni

>>186877091
Went for the +3% State Religion idea and thought that I'd leave Khiva for later because I really need to expand into the Jalayirids before the Ottomans do so. If I manage to do it before them (I currently am and most likely will) I'll be able to establish an unconquarable fort line where they'll lose ~300k manpower with every war they declare on me. Once that line is set up I'll instantly conquer Khiva

Fun fact: When the Boers stablish Natalia, you have 2 options: initiating the Battle of the Blood River or just letting them take your land and make their little country there.
The later, which the AI never takes, makes Natalia independent, with no British influence and, on top of all, doesn't revoke your cores.

Xhosa is pretty useless, OPMs Basotho and Suazi are both more useful since they have about the same amount of pops but are entirely accepted.
Either way, I'm not blobbing at all until the Boer states spawn, the British are raising their influence in me like there's no tomorrow so I have a good feeling about this.

HPM you still there? I finished the Uganda and Antillean flags you wanted, want me to dump them here? Also I had a question regarding the Zimbabwe ones you wanted.

I needed to ask this to see how I make the flags and make sure I don't use Rhodesian flags instead or something.

I need some help with HoI III. A while ago I tried playing as the British. My strategy was to help France defend its northern border in Belgium by strategically setting up my troops along river provinces (giving the Germans significant attacking penalties) while trusting the French to take care of the Maginot line and the Alps themselves. I tried it, but my troops deployed in Belgium (and some in the Netherlands) were turned into mincemeat.

After ragequitting I'm planning to try yet another game as the British with the same strategy. This time I want to know what went wrong, or at least what are possible explanations for what went wrong. I imagine it was supply. What should I pay attention to when trying to supply my troops in the Low Lands as the British? Do my supplies automatically go towards troops deployed in allied territory, or do I need to do something extra (like maybe building a supply convoy or supply trains?).

>>186881643
Should Rhodesian be it's own culture, like Australian and Anglo-Canadian?

>>186881790
I've been asked that in the past and honestly I'm not quite sure. However, I can tell that one of the countries for which I had the most fun making flags and I like looking back to those flags would be Taiping, specially the Republican flag.

>>186882572
For Vicky? That sounds kinda complex, and lately I haven't had too much time to make flags (sorry HRE anon), but maybe if you tell me somewhat what you'd like to see in it I could make it soon.

Lad, don't tell me you used infantry there? That's exactly what the men of the age did, expected a WW1 style conflict, what actually happened was German tanks shot them to shit and drove straight over the trenches.

You want to do defensive strategies against Germany like that you need anti tank, optimal division is two infantry (to hold the line), 1 artillery (to bomb any motorised/mechanised they have with it) and 1 anti tank, to destroy the tanks.

G*rmans should be exterminated for the sake of mankind.

> I assume what you are trying to do is a tag for Zimbabwe which, unlike Rhodesia, is African primary instead of British, right?
Precisely. They will also serve as the generic tag for the area, with Rhodesia only being releasable by the british.

Also, if you have the time, I'd like to ask for flags for Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea and Samoa.

>>186883042
I see. Yeah, also happens to be what I'm doing right now (though admittedly mostly because that means I can have 1 corps with 10 front line units to maximally exploit frontage. The anti-tank units were an afterthought, though it seems more important than expected). Last time my infantry brigades were 3 INF 1 ART. Maybe going with 2 INF 1 ART 1 AT will change things for the better. Thanks for the heads-up.

But should I also be worrying about supply in allied territory or will the game fix itself in that regard?

>>186883467
Kek, maybe later. What I want is to hold a steady front in France/Belgium with one or two tank corps' in reserve to aid in containing any breakthroughs and/or pushing through themselves once the time is ripe. With that on lockdown, I then want to start creating an offensive force that can open up another front, maybe take Hamburg through Denmark or something (I'll try to hold the line there too if and only if I can spare the troops to do so).

The fact that his career survived him going full retard and he's now respected as a hero despite his grave misdeeds for the sake of glory is incredible. He's like a mirror image of Pétain: the noble hero turned to depravity by necessity, as opposed to the villain turned paragon by circumstance.

What does this white men shit even mean? Why is it "white men" plural and not "white man", to whom is it referring? The general? The site? Certain posters on either of these mediums? When did it originate?
