>>187403698
Yes, currently working on that. What do you believe needs to be fixed? I think that the HRE should form in AT LEAST 1 out of 100 games, while it's slightly impossible to do so in the current state, even if you're a player starting as Bohemia. This is an issue from the broken authority and I'm currently looking into it

Really? I've seen Bohemia having like 4 reforms in 1500 in my last playthrough, I thought forming HRE would rather be too easy

Last weekend I asked for some suggestions for a challenging meme run.
I got a couple of suggestions which all seemed too easy so I combined two and started as Trebizond in the Latin Empire bookmark and created a (reformed) Tengrist Roman Empire.

It was a pretty fun game although I got lucky with the Mongols so it was a bit easier than I expected and I finished with plenty of spare time despite the late start date.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for a challenging run?

>>187405056
convert whole africa and the near east to judaism

So, one of the features that I was requested to add was slavery/genocide mechanics for more thorough subjugation of the kebab, and I'm currently hashing out the former. Current plan:
>decision to enslave (culture) population IF:
>*ruler is Conqueror, Fanatic, Cruel, Greedy, Sinner, Indulgent, or Malevolent
>*owns provinces that have non-accepted culture
>*owns provinces of heathen religion (or heretic, if Fanatic)
>gives provinces that meet both of the above a hidden flag
>fires an event to choose slave policy:
>*industrial slavery increases local production efficiency, goods produced
>*export slavery changes trade goods to Slaves, increases local trade power
>*slave conscription increases local manpower, garrison growth, and supply limit
>*domestic slavery increases ??? (possibly development cost/build cost)
>province flags will throw events, including applying above bonuses over time as policy takes effect
>broadly deleterious effects on diplomatic relations with neighbors, affected culture tags, and religious group (unless pagan, muslim (and enslaving infidels) or christian (and enslaving pagans/enslaving muslims while on a crusade/enslaving heathens as the pope; reformation heresies will take catholics enslaving populations badly no matter what)
>increased unrest in culture group provinces, possibly leading to abolitionist rebels
>above has no effect on default slave provinces, because africans gonna africa

Thoughts? Genocide will probably run along a similar framework, with an end goal of converting cultures without spending birb mana/converting religions first.

>>187405397
Sounds good, i'd say implement it
Another suggestion would be to not have an unlimited ammount of slave labour. Like, development goes down progressively and it's impossible to enslave the local population once it reaches 1/1/1, or something like that.

>>187405397
Should also append that the ruler can't have Free Thinker, Just, Righteous (?), Tolerant, Benevolent, or Kind-Hearted. Consorts who do may cause trouble, extending to their home province/country.

>>187405962
It shouldn't be automatic, but something like that; events that decrease slave province productivity/development in exchange for lump sums, happening more frequently if you're greedy/indulgent. If you accidentally the entire enslaved population of a province, it'll automatically convert to your primary culture.

i'd recommend starting out with EU4 if you want to get into grand strategy, it's by far the simplest game out there.
Most of the mechanics are really simple when you look into it, and a couple videos on youtube is all you need to learn the basics.
I'd recommend https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs3acGYgI1-uWvHEhlIvx-vzsX0vhMOZj , 7 videos going over the basics and a bit more.

>>187412527
Ck2 is just what you need man, just roleplay a comfy kingdom until the end of middle ages, maybe convert that to eu4 and look at numbers going up while you blob

>>187412928
Yes i have managed to get to part 3 but the part where he started talking about tradeships was a bit hard to swallow but i did manage to transport the light ships to my node however in his game version,france is neutral to towards him and aragon is not that slightly hated but in my version Aragon DESPISES me (i think im at like -173 with them) and with France im at like -134)

So far ive followed him step by step as he goes and in the place of France ive improved relations with Britannia along with Portugal and the Pope

Again the trade system is just a big confusing with the whole ship thing

It's called planning. I'm currently brainstorming everything that'll be in the mod, before I even start working on it. It helps to have multiple people weigh in with ideas.
Planning it out beforehand will allow me to work faster since I won't have to stop coding to think about what comes next. Also means that I won't have as much trouble because I decide to change something and accidentally fuck everything up.

Oh, that's from the workshop. Yes, but in which case, you should see a .mod and a folder inside the /gsg/ mod. Pull both the folder and .mod file outside, right next to the mod_m&t folders

And for the future it is recommended to NOT install M&T from the workshop and do this instead so you don't run into any problems >>187415157

You know, EU4 was better before they they created the institutions.

With institutions, any country can catch up technologically, so Asian countries are overpowered . Also letting Indonesian countries colonize was a pretty stupid thing.

Why is the steam version different from your version?

>>187424506
It's not, it's the way the bugged workshop works that sometimes fucks up large mods like M&T. It is in general not recommended to install mods through the workshop for paradox games

It depends, but you will never have enough money to develop everything.

Some people develops capital city and a few others while others try to have a bunch of medium sized cities.

>>187424469
Read through http://hispedia.wikia.com/wiki/The_Finno-Korean_Hyperwar

I'm doing part of the bottom map you see there, except using the aforementioned finno korean borders in that earlier post instead.

I'm adding an emu pop to Australia and having them undergo a civil war, where anarcho-liberal emu pops almost always win. They also should invade Japan during the war at some point.

Currently I think that the ideologies should be fascist finland, commie korea, and anarcho liberal australia but I'm not 100% on that.

Any ideas (flavor or otherwise) are welcome I'd say I'm 30% of the way done.

>>187423965
If you're playing the /gsg/ mod do Regional capitals first until you achieve a good enough global autonomy, then singular development of highly-populated provinces or provinces with metals. Low autonomy is very important and reg. capitals give you that for all provinces around them.

>>187424650

Start as the Islamic duke of Cyprus, I make small but steady gains over the course of 10 years. The Empire loses the Armenian lands to the East to the Turks, Sicily to the Normans and the Balkans to the Serbs and Bolghars. With the recent losses I become a very powerful and prominent figure and he is forced to give me a seat on the council to keep me from rebelling. The Emperor dies and leaves his son on the throne, for some reason everyone chimps out at the new son. Over the next 20 years there are roughly 15 civil wars for to overthrow liege and to install claimant. Along with countless local rebellions. Through pure luck I managed to become best friends with another Greek duke. Through some even he owes me a favor. I use it to educated his 6 year old son and convert him to Sunni Islam. Through more pure luck the final war that takes place is for my friends claim to the throne. He solidifies the realm and has a healthy 16k troop pool. He almost immediately goes to war with the Al-Fatmi in the Levant. He gets curb stomped and captured. After 2 years in prison he dies and his Sunni sun inherits. The Emperor is now Sunni, my former ward, and my son in law. I've gotten so lucky this is absurd.

Can you add an event that triggers when you have bankruptcy and adds a level 1 plantation/farm estate to all provinces? If there's already one they'll delete at the end of the month, and if not it'll stick around.

Maybe make it add a dummy modifier like capital calculations does, and have that modifier last longer than the bankruptcy modifier.

I tend to go with reactionaries in order to build factories myself, and recent games that spring to mind are one with Serbia, where i understand why i did economically poorly, but i had some games with Brazil and Mexico where i had same fucking problem. I tend to keep army maintenance lowered to about 50 or 60 percent, while army salaries, education and administration to the max. Also how do you guys get to GP status. I like to play tall (and seem to suck at it), ussualy dont like to do ahistorical conquests, but cant get to GP status even through prioritizing prestige techs.

And thus dies the mother of my brothers and my aunt, the incestuous temptress of my lustful father. May she find peace in heaven. Now, however, begins our reconquest of Hispania.

>first establish protectorate CB cost me 12 infamy
>second one cost me 14

Well time to sit on my hands for a decade and hope the Spanish and Portuguese don't take the rest of Indonesia.

The randomness to the infamy gained is probably one of my least favorite mechanics in Victoria 2, I know that it's based on the time remaining in the fabrication, but it's still out of the player's control. At this point I might as well restart and redo all the tedium of moving my colonial armies around just to see if I get luckier in the infamy department.

While trying to retake Hispania, it seems the Vandal king has gotten a little eager. We will crush him.

For the one person interested in this, I'm back and about to go for the big prize, China.
The plan is occupy every province that garners interest, which is almost all of them; small provinces in the Western and norther edge of the empire (Just rural pops under 10) I will ignore, as traveling to them will be more trouble than it's worth.
The goal is occupation, so the plan is to go from region to region, occupying all land within it. If the Chinese army (at least 5 times the size of mine) recaptures the lands, so be it; they've already been looted
I currently sit at 111k in loot. I will not be surprised if I break 500k by the time i am done with China
Pray for me lads

memes aside, m&t vastly improves the game. The only excuse you have to not play m&t is if you have a shitty computer who can barely handle vanilla
