Vodos posted:I didn't get it either, turns out my "Receive email from admins" in the forum control panel was unchecked. I'm no really sure whether I ever touched that setting but apparently that's the reason. If I didn't have the "receive email from admins" option checked (it is now, just in case), is there anything I can do to still get my key for EU3 Chronicles? I'd love to be able to gift it to someone.

Has anyone still got a code left to PM to me? I played around with a friends' copy a bit like three expansions ago and would really like trying it again (since HoI3 has lost its appeal quite quickly)

I've been playing a spot of HoI 3 tonight and the thing that's been bugging me the most (and this isn't a complaint specific to HoI 3, so please don't get probated, Darkrenown  ) was managing my sliders, especially during peacetime. I know I could just let the AI manage the whole thing, but wouldn't it be great if you could, say, middle-click a slider and it would automatically go to the exact amount of IC required (if you're over the limit; if you're under the limit it would go as close to the required amount of IC without making any unlocked sliders go under theirs)? Would that be possible in the current engine? It would seriously make any and all HoI games twice as enjoyable to me.

Playing the Srbja mod as the Maya, it looks promising, but it's kinda crash-happy, also the rebuild Mayan Empire decision seems to not actually do anything. Looking forward to further developments on it, the vanilla scenarios in Paradox games get old kinda quick.

The Consumer Goods slider eventually adjusts to stop losing money, but I'd love a "Balanced Budget" option where I could lock enough IC to it so that I'm making money at a decent rate, while still letting the other sliders manage themselves.

Pretty sure you can click the number the game is telling you the slider needs to be at to automatically set it for that number. For DH play around with the checkboxes a bit I've found they work for nearly everything I need wrt to slider settings.

Having said that, I only really mess with the sliders for Leadership. I feel that the AI does a good enough job managing the Production sliders, even if you do unit production manually. Raskolnikov38 posted:Pretty sure you can click the number the game is telling you the slider needs to be at to automatically set it for that number. Anyway, the checkbox to the left of the (-) sign of the slider tells the AI whether or not it can allocate any amount of IC to that slider, period. The checkbox above the (-) sign of the slider tells the AI whether to prioritize that slider's requirements. For the very start of the game, I only activate Consumer Goods and Supplies. The AI will fill up Supplies to the minimum, then put the rest into Consumer Goods, burning off your dissent Later, I turn on Production and Upgrades. If it's DH-Full, I leave Reinforcements turned off until war is declared and I get mobilization, otherwise it's just wasting your peacetime amounts of manpower. After that, it's just a matter of using the Prioritize checkboxes to juggle between Production, Upgrades and Reinforcements.

Random question of the SJRB mod; did the Aztec Empire somehow stay Pagan and take over most of North America, or did it convert to something? America looks like an amazing clusterfuck in that mod  . I know religion doesn't matter in V2 but I'm curious and don't have a computer with V2 in front of me.

Fun mod by the way.

^^ Thanks! I considered adding Teotl as a faith in the game, but since V2 doesn't really care about religions that was really low in priorities. ArchRanger posted:Playing the Srbja mod as the Maya, it looks promising, but it's kinda crash-happy, also the rebuild Mayan Empire decision seems to not actually do anything. Hmmm... That must be a legacy decision from NNM, it was not supposed to exist since the Mayans already exist and they were the only nation to go democratic after the collapse of the continent-spanning Aztec Empire. That'll be cleared in the next version, thanks. Are any of the crashes repeateable?

Positioning is pretty much just what percentage of the cannons in your fleet are pointed at the enemy. If you've got 100 cannons in your fleet and 30% positioning, your effective firepower is only 30 cannons.

Galleys are supposed to be better in shallow waters like coasts and the Mediterranean but that's either bugged or the naval combat calculations are wrong because they're straight up worse. Only good thing about them is the they're dirt cheap.

telcontar posted:If you're talking about the light ships (not galleys), they're cheaper, faster, and count as big ships for purposes of tariffs. Not as good in combat but that doesn't matter much if you already have the world's largest fleet. Galleys in seas are better than galleys out of seas but still not better than big ships, its not a bug. It might actually be more effective to use galleys in seas vs the same cost in big ships but it also might not, I haven't actually tested this.

The advantage of galleys is that a Mediterranean or Baltic power with say 50 naval force limits can probably run around their backyard with like 120 galleys and 20 transports and still spend less on naval maintenance than the ocean-faring guy with 50 naval force limits who has 30 big ships and 20 transports. You won't win with galleys against big ships at a 1:1 or even 2:1 ratio but there comes a point where you can overwhelm them, and you can do it pretty cheaply. If you need to leave the seas for any reason, you should probably avoid them. Don't try to maintain even a single big ship if you try to use the strategy of going way over your force limits, though. That one big ship will cost a fortune in maintenance if you're way over your limits. Kersch fucked around with this message at 18:45 on Jan 23, 2013 |

My strategy that has worked pretty well so far; make the biggest boats you can until you hit the force limit. When the colonial phase/the overseas warfare phase starts, have a transport fleet of 20 ships at least.

The interface for handling large fleets isn't exactly good either, oh you want to replace those 15 carracks you still have with galleons? Have fun picking them out of the 70 big ships you have! Wish there was a button to move every ship of the same type and one to move every ship of the same class (Big/med/light/transport). Not to mention that annoying bug where sometimes navies don't engage each other in war. It's fun to realize Crete is being sieged by Scotland, even tough you have a 60 navy stack sitting in the sea of Gibraltar. drat those Scottish cloaking ships

Well, it's a bit silly they can do it in the strait of Gibraltar, but you don't have RADAR on your manowars. Sea zones are mostly large enough it's a non trivial challenge to spot and engage an enemy fleet.

Is that a feature or a bug? It sounds like a bug. While it might make a little sense from a realism point of view, there's no stat for it in game, and no way for the player to impact. It just means that there's a random chance that fleets wont engage, and that's just no fun from a gameplay point of view. Randomly having your strategies thwarted by impossible to influence random dice rolls is not what you want out of a strategy game, especially if there aren't any ways to compensate that (say, as a small island nation who relies on naval power).

I am sure it's a bug, I've seen it before where I had to chase down fleets, my fleet arrives in the sea province before theirs leaves. You have to chase them till they try to unload their armies, that usually forces a fight. Mostly wondering if it's a vanilla thing or a Miscmod thing.

It's not really something anyone can influence, you can't order ships not to miss fleets sailing by outside of their visual range. Oceans are big places even ignoring poor weather conditions/night. However, fleets unloading troops are always spotted so you can avoid missing them by keeping your own fleet near what you want to protect rather than out at sea.

Obviously one galley is not going to beat one carrack, but five galleys possibly could (especially if you're fighting in the Mediterranean). Generally what I do when I'm building up my navy is build galleys up to my force limit and then start building carracks to replace them.

Ships will always engage if both are still, i.e. one is trying to unload troops while your fleet is sitting in the same water province. I believe the patch notes said that the faster the navy is, the better the chances, but since it's unreliable it's mostly just annoying.

Is Croatian culture supposed to be localized as noculture in Sjrbyzantium? The Philippines have their cores set incorrectly, they are in the province history as PHL but the country history has them as PHI so they show up as a rebel flag with no name.

Oceans are big places even ignoring poor weather conditions/night. However, fleets unloading troops are always spotted so you can avoid missing them by keeping your own fleet near what you want to protect rather than out at sea. Yeah, that was kind of my point. This line of reasoning makes for really unfun gameplay. Your stratagems and tactics should not be completely thwarted by random rolls of the dice. On land, the failures of your campaigns are influenced by the dice but ultimately you are the final decider for whether or not your strategies work or fail. You can plan for a failed battle or two. On the water, having the enemy just stroll past your fleet on a stroke of luck and completely siege your home land is just kind of frustrating bullshit. If armies couldn't disembark while their transports were in combat, you would be able to have a backup navy to stop landings, but that isn't possible. This little bit of realism for the sake of realism really hampers the gameplay, and is completely inconsistent with the entire rest of the game, which always sacrifices realism for better gameplay (such as being unable to stop disembarking troops).
