Did I just say that out loud~~?!!!
Afghanistan's mountains should be a unique terrain that's simply called "Afghanistan", and it should give like ten times the attrition. Never invade Afghanistan. Many have tried, but only the Mongols ever did it, and they came and went.

Don't give your game up. Show them what it means to mess with Afghanistan. Embroil them in a war so costly and destructive that you somehow manage to throw them out of the great powers (or at least the #1 spot). Doesn't matter if your country goes into the toilet, this is for honor.

Angered & displeased, he went to the Blessed One and, on arrival, insulted & cursed him with rude, harsh words.

When this was said, the Blessed One said to him:


"Motherfucker I will -end- you"


So! I'm a fan of alternate histories, and with HoD I'd like to jump in on alternate scenario mods. I grabbed a paintable world map and started planning out states and provinces, and this is what I've arrived at so far. I'd be interested in hearing goon opinions.
Basically britain lost most of its north american colonies in the revolution, and three states emerged. Quebec, a maritime union, and the 13 colonies. The indian wars went poorly when quebec and the US both went to war over the ohio river valley, what emerged was a native state, the Great Lakes Confederacy. West of that is the sioux confederacy. Above that the metis confederacy. I was originally going to have BC/Washington be part of the california/cascadia state, but I thought that making it another native confederacy would be interesting. With the failure of land speculation in the ohio valley, US real estate interests shifted into mexican claims, mormonism happened too. So by 1836 Texas, rio Grande, and the Deseret state have revoluted against Mexico. With the louisiana purchase Jefferson decided to create a new pacific state, and that's the california/cascadia region.

In south america, US interests have taken colombia as a colonial prospect. The bolivarian revolution was pretty successful, but on his death the republics split apart. There's a bolivian union and venezuela as seperate states. Dutch brazil remained dutch because why not, and panama joined the UCSA.

In europe, the napoleonic war went pretty poorly. Britain Won, but not a total victory. France has remained split into three states: a british friendly republican france in the dark blue, Bourbon royalist france in the pink, and a napoleonic france in the teal. Napoleonic france has kept egypt and the carribean colonies, Royalist france kept india. Because the napoleonic war is something of a cold war, britain never took ceylon or all of india. South africa is an independent boer state fighting the dutch. Norway is still danish. Turkey is a dual monarchy, a greco-turkish union. Egypt is independent, and babylon is revolting against the state because also why not.
The cisalpine republic and catalonia are napoleonic sattelite states, while spain has remained under british influence. Poland-lithuania and the Ukraine are free, but the ukraine is claimed by russia. There's also a free baltic state. Austria and hungary are split to take pressure off of the turks.

And that's what I have so far.

Alexander hellenized it. Modern Pashtuns are the descendents of Arachosia and Kapisa and related satrapies. Hell, Kapisa is still a (tiny) province in Afghanistan.

I'm trying my best to crush the last remaining problems in what I've been calling the Great Dark North. I think that, once I get some factories seeded in my Great Powers, countries will have the supplies available to militarize. Is there some way that I can just give every nation a clump of supplies to build armies with? Is that in OOB?

*edit*
Here's Great Dark North v0.1. There are still issues with militarization since small arms and artillery and wine are scarce. It incorporates NNM so no need to run it alongside another big mod.

Well, in real life you can raise tariffs on the western imperialists and thus force them to compete in a fair market. So you basically have no defense against Britain being massively more efficient than you.

Though in real life, Britain could threaten you with gunboats for raising tariffs.

I'll see if I can get something rolling. I'll revert to earlier save and see what I can do. It ALWAYS ends up happening no matter what I do from a certain point on. Inevitably, the great Afghani Republic is doomed to fail.

What's funny is I'm not even sure it's the UK causing my massive economic downturn, but the tea-sipping dogs are gonna pay regardless!

126. Fixed a bug with production AI overriding "max_factor" construction setting when "Do not start producing any new units when more then THIS percentage of the total IC is needed to supply existing units (0.0 to 1.0; 1.0 = 100%, disabled). Enabling this will encourage AI to build more IC when this ratio is exceeded." misc.txt setting is enabled even when "ic_end_year" is exceeded (incorrectly making all IC available for other constructions and convoys).

127. Changed GDE to apply to "Base chance of Land units to avoid hit if no defences left" too.

128. Fixed puppets to end all old alliance wars when leaving an alliance after the master.

129. Changed rebel units to use attack (as any other AI or player controlled countries do) instead of move order when moving to another province. Retreating rebel units no longer are allowed to change mission.

130. Fixed a rare bug with vanishing land units when participating in 2 land combats at the same time (one attacking and one defending) and losing any of those.

131. Fixed issues (missing airbase tooltip and selecting by a click on the base sprite) with air unit based in countries granting only military access.

132. Cancel (no longer valid) ongoing unit moves to neutral provinces after peace deals.

145. Fixed a bug with lagging behind or missing production queue refresh after an item priority change for clients in MP games.

146. Fixed land and coastal fort bonuses to be applied only to province controller when defending. Previously those were applied to the defender even when not controlling the province (after rebel pop-up for example).

147. Fixed incorrect strength bar for side in combat when 2 or more units participate on the same side.

148. Fixed a bug with random unit merge after redeployment. Addresses many issues including permanent change of divisions ownership.

149. Allowed AI puppets to become AI front area leaders.

150. Fixed a bug with incorrect country specific division stats (added by techs, events etc.) on upgrade if the division is in control of another country (stats form the controlling country are applied instead from the own one).

151. Fixed a bug where divisions with no ORG did not properly have a chance to be targetted in land combats (misc.txt modifier).

152. Fixed a bug with own units not upgrading when in the redeployment pool.

156. Fixed a bug with AI being able to redeploy units when Strategic Redeployment mission type is not available for the country.

157. Fixed a bug with incorrectly triggered events on game start.

158. Fixed an issue with oversea provinces and fleets stationed in foreign ports that can be given at random to ex-alliance leader when a country is made puppet of another country.

159. Fixed an issue with “Load AI files from Moddir only” misc.txt setting usage.

I've got a carbon fixation.

So when I first read the dev diaries, I thought the colonization changes were kind of neat, but basically more of the same. I had no idea how much loving fun I would have playing essentially a tiny gambling mini-game and trying to figure out how to lock both Britain and Mexico out of my colonies. :shepicide:

And how do we do that? We hurt a lot of people...

I may have skipped over this in a DD, is a crisis flaring up supposed to reset the progress of all other crises? My poor Greece will never grow if every dumb colonial fight in North America resets my progress :(

There's a general crisis cooldown so they don't pop off one after the other.

Uncivs can get research points from conquering other countries (fellow uncivs only?), there's a minimum Tactics level now so your troops aren't quite as lovely, and you can build Cav as an unciv.

The RP you gain is based on the RP produced in that area, so if you can manage it civ states are even better.

So I'm just reading the HoD manual, it states colonisation points come from naval bases and naval power..I'm assuming this is still needed even for landlocked countries colonizing the area next to them..which doesn't really make sense surely? Podcat can you confirm this is the case?

You get some points from the level1 naval base tech, so you can grab that without needing a coast.

Sure enough, my competition with the UK for Washington has led to my games first crisis, luckily everyone hates the UK.

And that's what I have so far.


I really like that concept. As I have done a similar work with the A Srb Divided scenario, here are a few things that might help you out.

-Give a one-island province nation (Hawaii/Iceland work great) a Precious Metals RGO and make sure its literacy is under 30%, and that you have an absolute monarchy. This will make sure you have the least ammount of events for running hands-off games;

-Use the Clausewitz Scenario Editor for visually editing the province and country history files. It is a really handy tool that will save you a lot of time and let you plan properly. This thing works with all Clausewitz Engine games, so I believe it should still function with Heart of Darkness;

-This is a collection of tools made by the creator of Divergences to make his job easier, and it will make yours as well. POPAdjuster is the most relevant one, as it allows you to convert cultures seamlessly as well as alter population sizes. For example, you could select the Dutch-Brazil colonies and convert all the population of those cores to Dutch, or whatever Neo-Dutch culture you invent. As usual, make sure to backup files before using any automated tool.
