How fares your empire, /gsg/?

This day in history, 24th of August:
79 AD – Mount Vesuvius erupts. The cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Stabiae are buried in volcanic ash.
455 – The Vandals, led by king Genseric, begin to plunder Rome. Pope Leo I requests Genseric not destroy the ancient city or murder its citizens. He agrees and the gates of Rome are opened. However, the Vandals loot a great amount of treasure.
1349 – Six thousand Jews are killed in Mainz after being blamed for the bubonic plague.
1941 – Adolf Hitler orders the cessation of Nazi Germany's systematic T4 euthanasia program of the mentally ill and the handicapped due to protests, although killings continue for the remainder of the war.

Alright, I'm sorry about that. I was out for a couple of hours and didn't look at the old thread. I played as Hyderabad. I westernized in 1870 and used my position as a satellite to rush the RP, education and Government techs as I got them for roughly 70% off thanks to years beyond the tech date along with being under the UK. I didn't go to war with the UK until 1890~ when I had enough military tech to fight them. The first war was to get me free from their rule and seize Bombay, Central India and one other province then the next war was me carpet claiming everything in wars of unification. The Sepoys had two rebellions after I destroyed the UK's Indian army and were able to remove most of the uncivs from being an English puppet. The other unciv nations that came about from the Sepoy rebellion, I puppeted. As for Goa and Pondicherry, I got lucky on that, as the UK seized them from Portugal and France in a single war. Then from 1991 to 1929 I spent my time making all these states that were deemed colonial into actual states, building industry and fixing my literacy which was fucked up by constant seizure of lands that had upwards of 2 Million pops each in them.

Russia promptly annexed Persia in 1912. I responded by taking over Afghanistan just before Russia's own claim to establish a protectorate came up in 1914. Japan is my only ally.

Also the Americas are an utter fucking mess.

Didn't genocide anything. This is the first time I've tried to form India so I don't know if I did this as well as I could have. If I should have 125M by now, then I fucked up for sure. My next game I think is to play as Oman and keep their African territory and take over more of Africa.

T'is a story ofhow a mere handful of whites went to rule an entire subcontinent of hundreds of millions of people, through intrigue, subterfuge, divide and conquer, and most importantly, the mission to civilise.

Nice game, paradox.
After a 150 year alliance, Ottomans suddenly get -200 to relations because they suddenly view 4 of my provinces as strategic interest. They do not have claims on them. They do not have mission on them. Then they break the alliance. Of course, they can't even rival me, because they have 100 fucking trust with me.

No? Divide and conquer by playing the Muslims off against the Hindus, and both of them off against the Sikhs when need be, not to mention giving nominal honorific titles to some jumped up wog who believes himself to be a chief in their inane caste system, thereby legitimising your conquest of the areas as all the respected chieftains bow to you.

When I'm walking through my college campus and I pass the smokers, coughing it up with one another I stop and ask them if I can "bum" a cig. They usually oblige, and I take the little white stick from them and snap it in half like a twig and throw the pieces on the ground.

They look at me, dumbfounded, usually spouting a "bro, what the fuck?" and I tell them I just saved them 5 minutes of their life and they should be thanking me.

They never than me. It's a thankless job, but one that needs to be done.

Anon is so visibly upset, that he needs to create a post on our glorious thread in an attempt to raise his self worth.

Come at me Anon. I am the fucking pinnacle of man, both body and mind. My family tree is a hundred percent complete up to early 1700s (how's yours, by the way?), I have 3,7% Neanderthal DNA, and I attend an Ivy league university, completely payed off by scholarships, with the leftover money used to buy myself a luxury vehicle. My grade point average is perfect point O. After I finish my dual bachelors I will be accepted straight away into the doctorate program. I will have two doctorate degree's by age twenty-five, owe zero debts, and make more money a year than you will in a lifetime. The funny thing is, this is the average South Brazilian /gsg/ browser. There are many who far surpass me.

Of course, knowing this, you figure the only way to attack me is the only way you know how, using words of which the meaning escapes you, insult with some dank memes than no one uses since 2006, and using our own image macros to mock yourself.

You forgot your greentext and "My face when" by the way, the text suits you perfectly.

I got an unlucky roll on revoking a privilege from the Greater Nobles despite a level 4 court (really should've waited for level 5, I could've funded it to that level safely within 3-4 years) and got massively negative stability. Low manpower from fort and road projects, not to mention my continuous campaigns elsewhere, ensured that I would get this Peasant's War. Legitimacy is stable for now but my prestige has been tanked into the ground due to the need to disinherit no less than 3 horrible heirs (less than 4 points total for all 3), so this is really going to hurt my economy on every level now that I've lost the prestige benefits to trade. There is an upside to this, however.

Although I lost out on getting the dynasty onto the Danish-Norwegian throne, which almost happened thanks to the 67 year old childless King there, I was able to secure a marriage with the Duke of Holland (and even defend him from being deposed in a civil war) long enough for him to pass the throne to me peacefully. I was even in a truce with Flanders at the time, which was to be the contesting power, and was able to secure Holland without a fight. So in addition to a pan-Mediterranean Trastamara Catholicism, there will also be the historical Spanish Netherlands.

Or more properly a rump version of it, I suppose. The French have already encroached, but I've clearly marked the territory I'm interested in, which will hopefully keep them off of it. Once the Peasant's War is done and my nation stabilized, I feel I'll likely make a beeline here. Being inside the HRE makes any wars to secure these borders challenging already, and I'll need to begin quickly if I'm to succeed in any reasonable amount of time.

The Peasant's War is finally over. The benefit is that I've been able to accumulate quite a bit of manpower for my upcoming wars, but France has gotten itself into a war with Austria which will be draining those same reserves, and my coffers have been depleted as well. Not sure where I want to attack next, but a long truce with Flanders means I'll probably attack the Venetians and Naples. Naples in particular is an extreme threat that I need to partition and defeat, mostly because their land is highly defensible.

I went for Venice/Naples. The war was extremely difficult, most likely because the French were still dealing with overextension and Naples's army (plus the armies of all their allies) was able to access France directly through their Provencal territories. I took a defensive chunk of Naples and restored Byzantium's territories to it, both of which will be critical for future wars. Even with my strong galley fleet and vast ship numbers it was almost impossible to break Venice and Naples both (navally speaking) this war, and removing Venice's islands from her will pretty much guarantee that the combined Spanish-Byzantine fleet can outclass whatever the now second-rate Naples and third-rate Venice can send out.

An unfortunate downside of all the annexations, however, is that my AE is extremely high now, with penalties up to -70 with some countries. I need to be careful with my next steps, because a large enough coalition (and the Ottomans currently have enough negative opinion to join) will undoubtedly fire against me, and France very much got the worst of that war. I'm not doing so great either, since the plague spawned in Toledo.

My probable next move is against Africa, which will give minimal AE impact but expand the vassal which I've given the least attention to since the Byzantine union. I won't make a move in that direction until the plague modifiers dissipate, however.

Between the Byzantines and the Kingdom of Africa there's even been a bit of religious conversion. Byzantines are still dealing with powerful estates (which isn't being helped by the acquisition of so much island territory without direct links to the mainland), but they're much more culturally homogeneous than either the Kingdom of Africa or Jerusalem, which I suppose is helping them.

The first phase of the expansion of the Spanish Low Countries. The wars were surprisingly easy, as a very weak Milan is the Emperor.

I was able to expand Jerusalem by quite a bit and the Kingdom of Africa very slightly in a war against the Mamluks. Unfortunately the Ottomans declared war at the same time and took most of the northern provinces I had wanted to give to Jerusalem, however. I'm not exactly sure what to do about the Ottomans, because while I can certainly beat them in wars, I don't think I can ever truly bottle them up.

I think I'll try to take every coastal province in the Balkans from them, to ruin their interior CE and cause major rebellions--ideally. If that doesn't happen, though, they'll either get nothing from those provinces and they'll become incredibly cheap, or they'll build regional capitals and the Byzantines will benefit from it later.

I do want to take what they've just taken from the Mamluks. Closing the route for as much eastern expansion as possible is going to be critical. But Jerusalem is too destabilized to take more right now, so it'll have to be a war to improve the Byzantines first. Probably rotate Byzantines->Sicily (for Naples)->finish the Low Countries expansion->Jerusalem->Africa->Byzantium, but we'll see what happens. My vassals are starting to become large enough that population is becoming a concern for liberty desire, but that should reduce itself once I'm able to integrate Sicily and Holland. I just need to finish expanding them first.

>>
>>187175570
Any medium-sized nation that's relatively safe is a good base for 2.0, because your main danger will probably be estates on top of trying to learn everything else. I would recommend England. You can try winning the Hundred Years' War (it's absolutely possible, although still difficult) but if you wanted to you could also decline to do so. As long as you have a strong navy you'll be protected and you can learn the mechanics in relative safety, until colonialism hits and you can become a more active participant.

>>
>>187175852
No, it's very railroaded. That's one of the worst parts of M&T honestly, but thankfully that stops after about 100 years. The problem is that Burgundy sometimes get inheritance events (I don't know the triggers) that give them control over almost all the Low Countries, even if the nations in question have rulers or are vassals/in a different union. It's something I've been meaning to complain about for a long time but I've never gotten around to it.

Anyway a Netherlands game is really fun and I've seen someone else here try it, but it's definitely not a beginner prospect. The safest countries, if you want some other options, are England, Portugal, Spain (probably start as Trastamara and ally France), Naples and the Ottomans. Naples is really restricted in its expansion, though. The Ottomans are worse actually because they thrive on rapid expansion that will put you into conflict with your estates more rapidly, but they're also very easy to win as in the early game, and they've got a strong economy.
>>
>>187176034
I definitely want to do an England game just because of how much fun it is in vanilla and Naples could be fun not starting under Aragon and conquering North Africa.
Thanks for the advice!
>>
>>187175051
vassals are cheating in victoria as they can never rebel, no matter what. you just puppet/release lombardia as puppet and they're yours no matter what for the rest of the game.

what you're doing is removing on of the few mechanics out there than prevent it.
>>
>>187176225
No problem. If you do decide to do England, keep in mind I don't think you can enforce the union in the first war. You'll get Aquitaine as a union-march (which I don't think you can presently integrate in any way; they're looking into it) and if you win I think you can also get Brittany as an ally temporarily, but you need to fight the French again in order to get the PU. Before you declare on the French for the second time (if you want to go for the PU), if you decide to fight some of the Irish counts in the meantime, don't conquer too much. Overextension in M&T directly effects how much taxes you make and how large your manpower pool is, so be cautious with expansion in critical periods like that.

>early modern
>late modern
>highly developed
>enlightened

So the first issue I noticed while playing this is that the White Horde starts with all those irrelevant OPM vassals that result in a -2 diplomatic mana per month due to being over relation limit which is retarded. I'll remove all of those as vassals in the mod because the strategy of this country is to build up 20 prestige and break vassalization with them one by one for -20 prestige, which is dumb and pointless and certainly doesn't reflect how the real world functions. Oh, by the way you can't annex those OPM vassals for 400 years for some reason so you're pretty much stuck with them forever.

>>187183068
In a way yes but I'll do it because I dislike the concept of nation-specific ideas. Every flavor for a nation can come out of events or its position/population/starting government, while the national ideas are simply pointless. In turn of the national ideas possibly getting removed I buffed all regular ideas so you can in a way choose your own national ideas - you get a bonus by unlocking an idea that you'd have unlocked anyway, why not just add the bonus to the idea itself?

I ran into a file of 1k+ lines for the Castilian civil war alone so I'm not going to bother with that anymore.

Anyway, I think that expulsions are slightly broken. I'll change the mana request from 200 mil to 75 mil and add 50 adm to it, increase the ducats gained by 100%, increase war exhaustion from +2 to +3 and increase the local unrest that the event gives for 5 years from +10 to +15. Instead of being worried if you're going to waste too much mana on this you'll be worried if you can handle the revolts coming out of it, which is better in my opinion

If that is possible: What laws and party do I need in order to do so? Currently got some disgusting liberals running the country.

So you welcome their culture and allow them to govern and access the organs of government as Russians would, and they use that access to pave the way for Polish separatism because they're not happy being part of Russia.

The way M&T works is that each province calculates the ducats invested in it, and based on that calculates the "building saturation" of the city - the more buildings there are the harder it becomes to build even more, so build cost for that province starts rising exponentially. It can reach upwards of 1600% increased price cost for the most developed cities

Now here comes the problem - the flat build cost reduction from vanilla doesn't work. It says "-10%" but that -10% doesn't scale with the rising development cost and you end up with 1600%-10% build cost for developed cities - absolutely useless and pointless. The compounding cost reduction fixes that. What you see in pic related is 550% provincial cost modifier being reduced by 10% from a single -2% compounding cost idea. Once I build more and rise it to 1000%, the flexible cost will turn into 20%, and that's calculated for every province separately.

And again, that's just one idea that gives -2%. I have put a total of 3 ideas that give a combined -10% compounding build cost reduction, which means that if I was to have all those ideas right now, the effect you see would be five times greater - the build cost would be 550%-50%=500% for that province. If I developed it to 1600%, the build cost would become 1600%-160%=1440%

No, the way the buildings work is far different than in vanilla. There is "urban gravity" which essentially translates into how many urban pops will there be in your city of the province. Urban pops can make a barren resourceless province quite profitable if it reached 30 urban pops, so to prevent people mass-urbanizing their entire land there are those exponential costs - you can either dump thousands of ducats in a single province to develop it to 50 urban pops, or you can spread them evenly between many provinces for 50 urban pops shared between them for about the same cost as the single province. If they didn't put that scaling cost then everyone would have 90% urbanization by the end of the game

Why do I have Finnish as an accepted culture and cores on Finland? Also why is there a decision to specifically "Abandon the Finnish", which I did not take? How can I abandon them if I never had them in the first place? Do I have to conquer them state by state now?
>>
>>187193150
Accepted cultures have two functions - they expand the pool of pops available for national focuses and don't suffer from increased militancy. Both of these effects stem from the idea that the pops in question are both integrated into the governance of the state and happy to be part of it, something much more true for Ukrainians than Poles. While you could make the argument that a state policy of acceptance would be enough to give the national focus bonus, if the pops in question aren't happy being part of the state then adding them as accepted and removing the militancy makes no sense.

>poles have been a subservient people with shit tier """rebellions""" that amounted to nothing for all time
Russia is never threatened by Polish rebellions in V2, accepted or not. The fact they even existed is enough to make your argument for accepted cultures moot.

You can make a decision to accept all the slavs in one huge federation if you want, just stop trying to justify it as a realistic and historically reasonable change.
>>
>>187193984
They won't become a cultural union that way either.

>>187194007
>Why do I have Finnish as an accepted culture and cores on Finland?
Because Sweden claimed the place and because of their historical association with Scandinavia.

>Also why is there a decision to specifically "Abandon the Finnish", which I did not take?
You can only form Scandinavia if you abandon the Finnish.

> How can I abandon them if I never had them in the first place?
The decision only shows up if you have them as accepted. So you have them.

Yes.

Even after the increase they're getting -5 unrest there, which I'll leave because it is justified since the province is right next to the capital.

That's the new mechanic that they're trying to create where your trade power is far weaker in nodes you don't control. The trade power is probably added back to owned provinces through other means

Other than that I personally have had very profitable campaigns when it comes to trade so that means that this thing doesn't actually work or something else happens on the side
>>
>>187204592

The best strategy is to invest on both of them to keep it stable. Do not over invest since it is very expensive, specially the education budget.

As the game flows and you start having some big money start upgrading it.

Do note that you want to keep a good enough court to have nice diplomatic bonuses (alliance slots and stuff).
>>
>>187204592
If you don't have money, you do not invest in education while you invest in court only to keep it at level 3. When you get a better income you invest in court to get it to level 4-5. From then on invest in both education and court as you become more developed and start earning more ducats

Holy fuck, is this an England game? Anyway the trade ideas are nerfed (total merchants reduced by 1) and also nerfed in the way that everything around them is now more overpowered so you'll have to think really hard whether you'll want to waste your idea slot with a trade idea. Aristocratic, Culture, Diplomatic and Espionage all have their special overpowered flavor which is supposed to really make you think before choosing an idea. Additionally, the trade ideas are better stabilized about specializing in something - mercantilism is deeply specialized into provincial trade power and embargoes, while free trade is specialized into privateering and global trade. Merchant marine, as a neutral idea, is based around making your fleets specialize in trade with +1 maneuver and things like that

Ignore the other idiots, early game fund them both so court stays at least level 3 and education level 4
When you are rolling in dosh later feel free to increase spending to upgrade both, I'd say court first then education as court level does effect estate interactions
Also education spending is more efficient if your education buildings throughout your nation is good compared to the number of upper class pops.

>but I chained capitals to the point it had better CE than Dublin at the start date
And that's exactly what I intend to fix since I did something similar as well and had my entire blob turn into green autonomy. Regional capitals now cost 500 ducats more and the upgrade cost is close to doubled. If that's not enough I'll increase their maintenance by a third. Here's the changelog >>187181563 in case you're interested and feel free to add something else to the list if you feel like it needs to be adjusted/fixed

>>187207158
I'm interested to see if that fixes it, I'd think the tax and production bonuses would outweigh the costs in a decent-sized developed nation, especially if there's a lot of liquid wealth floating around.

Otherwise, I think art corporations might need a bit of a look-over. There's an event somewhere that fires occasionally in provinces with art corporations that feeds you either 10 prestige or 5 prestige and some small fraction of your income, but it seems to fire independently for every province that has one. I ended up being able to basically pour prestige into expansive colonial vassals to keep them pacified because the event was firing once or twice a year.

Probably really late again but I forgot to suggest yesterday, perhaps the increased provincial building cost for building bureaucracy should also be removed, because I don't quite understand why it exists in the first place. Building a capital (at least in 2.007) increases build cost in the province it's constructed in, which punishes you for saving up that much money and really doesn't make any sense at all. Building time might increase if you wanted to simulate red tape (although I don't think you can modify that on a provincial level), but if anything cost should reduce itself.

>perhaps the increased provincial building cost for building bureaucracy should also be removed
Actually I significantly improved the bureaucracy's (if you're talking about the regional capital which is named like that in the mod files) effect on the local province to meet up with the increased cost and increased provincial build cost. You will actually WANT to build it now, if it isn't for the +20% local modifiers that it gives then surely for the massive urban gravity boost (+3 compared to the normal one)

But other than that I can't remove the scaling cost because I tried nerfing it by a third and the change was massive - I could urbanize my country far too rapidly for it to be considered even remotely balanced
>>
>>187212925
eu4 is the most straightforward
ck2 is easy if you content to roleplay some count Bumfuck in the middle of HRE. But can be very challenging and RNG depended otherwise and get the more annoying the bigger you get unlike other gsg.

It's even worse since he knows you can't make pops from certain cultures/religions have different needs, so Muslim pops still demand liquor as an everyday need and wine as a luxury need, yet he thinks he's thinking anything by making artisans (that are 100% independent from the government and might as well be Jewish, Christian or whatever) unable to produce them.

Since I saw you took a look at Serbia earlier and fixed some of its problems, a look at France might also be warranted. Not only do I see them typically get excommunicated constantly every single game (which you might not be able to do anything about), they also get positively destroyed by their estates. Lacking any route to the south because of all their vassals makes their estates so powerful that after a few decades France can't really resist anyone anymore and gets completely balkanized.

I don't know if it's feasible but slightly nerfing one French idea or other in exchange for giving them direct control of a line of provinces that lead to the south (for the Aquitaine independence borders) would help make them a non-negligible threat. The only danger there is that they'd strike the HRE too hard, but that happens every game anyway and I'm not sure how to go about fixing that. Restrictions on HRE declarations from 2.01 might be sufficient for that, I don't know if it worked well.

Hmm, and that's with a land route to the south as well. I've seen them fail to take that from Aquitaine before, and with max autonomy that would be so much worse than it is even then. With your autonomy unrest changes the south might even rebel en masse if they fail to get a sufficient land route there.

I agree it would be better to let France succeed or fail on its own merits than giving it a direct land route there, retrospectively, but without a direct land route I'm a bit worried that they'll just collapse if they can't take on Aquitaine quickly enough. When I start using your mod I'll keep my eye on it.

>>187215118
Hey, if you want an ez time uniting Italy, take low-level pop provinces in Italy Region; everything North of Naples, and try to get to 30 provinces in the Italy region, doesn't matter how highly developed they are, but low pops ones don't generate that much AE. Getting to 30 allows you to ask for the crown of Italy, and even if the Emperor refuses, you can still take it anyway. Getting it lets you take other Italian provinces for 1/4 of the cost and AE; with it you can unite the rest of Italy within a generation

Yeah, -.2 is far too much. -.05 would be better, but then that runs the risk of the south being entirely destabilized if France can't retake it.

Honestly what there needs to be is an event which releases all French-held southern provinces as a singular vassal (maybe a Occitania or Toulouse tag) if France isn't able to retake a direct land route within 30 years. That would keep the south strong (so it isn't so easily blobbed into by Spain) while also realistically representing France's demise as the Hundred Years' War saps central authority in Paris.

One other thing I thought of about CE is how it's going to effect colonizers. Any new colony automatically has no communication to the homeland, and can't get any until they build a fishing port, town hall and trade port at minimum; for the player that would take a decade at least, and for the AI it will take much longer. The unrest in new colonies, even settler territories like the Azores with no previous population or religion, might become a problem that constantly distracts colonial nations. It's another thing to keep your eye on.
>>
>>187222793
I haven't tested my mod with a colonial nation so far and was planning to do so soon, because I've made zero changes to colonial ideas, colonial provinces and colonizing in general, yet there are way too many things that need to be changed to make it work correctly. I will check the CE for colonies and see what I can do

The turks don't build regional capitals, they're pre-placed there by Gigau to make their blobbing easier. There's 3 more regional capitals placed in such strategic positions for the Turks.

As for Spain, they probably conquered someone's capital

Not that anyone will actually help them, the leftist have made the entire subject so fucking toxic that we won't even think for a moment to help them, because any action would be voluntarily interpreted erroneously.
