Darkrenown posted:It's scaled by the % of your army in the battle, so since you are not actually using much of it it generates less score. It's a minor battle for you. Aaahhh. I see. So there's the disadvantage with having an army of 4 million men.

That's rather unfair to the forum really. The stream commenters were terrible though, I bailed as soon as my game as done. From the amount of "What game is this?" and "When does bannermen come out?" questions it seemed like most of them weren't forumites.

There are a lot of nationalistic posters on the Paradox forums, but usually you can avoid the threads (anything with Balkans/Byzantine in the name pretty much). I think the stream chat just collected all of them into one spot, which is why it looks so bad.

Cowcatcher posted:If China is a democracy and bad poo poo happens leading them to conclude the people lost the Mandate, do they switch to a Dictatorship...? You would think that logically democracy would be well suited for Mandate of Heaven thinking, especially if its a Parliamentary system. Lost the mandate? Dissolve the government and elect a new one! The problem with civilized china is that the economic model in victoria doesn't realistically respond to changing circumstances, its meant to allow 2-3 nations industrialize while the rest provide resources. RGO's need* to naturally expand and become more productive as demand increases to simulate the opening of new mines/farms/whatever as demand goes up. Right now prices don't really move, I've seen fish shortages in some games and the price stayed as it was for like 10 years and no one moved to the perpetually empty RGO's. *Or to solve the empty rgo problem if demand is greater than supply put a +100% bonus to immigration and labourer/farmer conversion in those provinces so they fill up.

Me and a friend of mine were trying to play CK2 together but we ran into a problem where our soldiers would spend forever moving, and the date they would arrive kept increasing by 1 each day. We can play single player fine independently but together it didn't work. My friend tried two different computers, we played before a few months ago and it was fine, but this time he had that strange problem. We're playing with CK2+, and the no de jure drift, gender equality and divided Muslims modules if it makes a difference.

Hey I just picked up Darkest Hour and was wondering what the best way to go about learning how to play it is. I've seen the recommendations for starter nations but it seems pretty overwhelming to have to manage the land, sea and air forces, is there a tutorial LP or something that tells me what to do with the sliders and such?

Speaking of nationalism on the Paradox forums, was titling the DD about the Ottomans "EUIV: The Heir of Rome" intentionally meant to stir them up? With very little exaggeration, every other post in that thread was " I read the title and thought it was going to be about the Byzantines! I want the Byzantines! " I'm really hoping that was an intentional jab, because that was hilarious.

Beamed posted:This makes sense - I always am sad when I see an oddly weak Persia in EU3. It's probably, because for some god-forsaken reason, shiites get a - 10 % tax penalty and in return get a measly morale bonus of 0.05 or something, Sunnis are just stronger. Also, maybe it's just my miscmod, but Japan is constanly attacking Persia and the Arabian peninsula and even taking land there, no idea.

I like the system because it means that if you go revolutionary (like France), you'd probably lose the Aristocratic ideas and have the opportunity to take plutocratic ideas instead.

Thrace would be at 100% siege progress, being occupied the next day. Let them play the Byzantine Empire, but 2 days into the game they'll be annexed.

Yeah, it's pretty cool if that's the intended case. Hopefully the French national ideas that were showcased a while back take that into account, and Liberte, Égalité, Fraternité is only available if the French Revolution happens. By the way, I'm kind of hoping that Paradox includes the Azerimod setup for Victoria II as a bonus scenario for HoD since Wiz is working on it, though I know that probably isn't going to be the case.

The next expansion for Victoria 2, Heart of Darkness, is coming out on April 16th, there will certainly be a sale for A House Divided then, so you should wait. Might as well grab the whole package then.

Remember these are ideas, you don't mix and match the two tracks, you take one of the two tracks and unlock the ideas in order. If you can go both aristocracy and plutocracy by end game you will have all the ideas in both tracks. Spiderfist Island posted:Yeah, it's pretty cool if that's the intended case.

Huh. Watching the Paradox stream and they asked if there was any chance Paradox would do a fantasy or sci-fi game based on their engine and Johan declined to answer and then laughed while rubbing his hands together. Could this be the 'super-secret project' they've referred to occasionally? I'm just going to pretend it's Paradox Presents: Master of Magic until I am (inevitably) disillusioned.

It's gonna be EUIV, except reskinned so that it's basically EU in space, with a map of the galaxy instead of Europe. The "E" in this case stands for "Earth". EDIT: If you're playing an Alien race, the more Earthlike you are, the faster your tech progresses and the better your economy. Playing as the crystalline race sucks.

I mean, I get that my society with Serfdom but also Humanist Tolerance might make little sense but this also seems to make there no point in not going max plutocracy or max aristocracy. I mean I get that this isn't like exactly like sliders in EUIII, but I always felt max plutocracy or aristocracy should be an unquestioning good thing.
