You can also raise fascist support via events in NNM/PDM (such as the Freikorps, or fascist soup kitchens), NFs (it only makes people vote for fascists in presidential elections and not for determining the upper house composition, but NNM/PDM have events that cause fascist dictatorships to trigger if your fascist is in power long enough and has a certain % of the upper house), make lots of soldiers (as I recall soldiers go fascist easier than most other pops), keep lower class CON and MIL low while raising upper class CON and MIL (pissing off poor people often just triggers communist rebellions, rich classes will almost never become communist so pissing them off tends to create jacobins and fascists), and I think high war exhaustion may also affect it. Gamey solution is to just keep raising MIL until EVERYONE starts revolting, massacre all communist and jacobin rebels while ignoring fascist ones, and just let them take the capital. I played a game as the Ethiopian empire, I had every single one of my cores owned and I had conquered much of the Middle East and Persia, and yet I still got fascists to take over.

 I cloned a man Seriously though, I'm playing as Ethiopia and split my army, which of course had a general. This resulted in each army being led by a general with the same name and portrait, though with different stats. Anyone had this happen? I'm not complaining, the clone clearly inherited all the dominant genes, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Is the game even long enough to really have such sweeping re-population and colonization? That's one thing I love about EU, it's huge time-frame. It's a time frame you can really build an empire, change the course of history, see the rise and fall of entire religions and peoples. V2 is rad but the time frame is so short you don't really have the ability to make these sweeping changes to the world. Which is why I kinda wished V2 was more of just an addon to EU. God I'd love it so much if they just made a single super good base EU game and then sold an expantion that adds middle-ages stuff. Not as detailed as CK2, but ok. Then an expansion that adds in victorian stuff. Not as detailed as v2, but still pretty good. Basically I want to play a game that's a mix of civilizations history-spanning scope and paradox's focus on detail, history and realism. And isn't stepp wolf.

Awesome, thanks a lot! Unrelated, does anyone know if there's an effortpost I can find somewhere describing the significance behind all the flag changes based on government in V2? A lot of them are just stuff like a hammer and sickle replacing some existing part of the flag if they go communist, like Texas. But some of them aren't quite as obvious and have historical/cultural significance behind them. To name a few examples from the more obvious ones, Persia as a republic gets the Republic of Iran's flag, fascist CSA gets the Confederate battle flag, and so on. If someone on the Paradox forums or somewhere had a writeup of what all those mean, I'd really like to see it. Punished Chuck fucked around with this message at 00:37 on May 1, 2013 |

Then an expansion that adds in victorian stuff. Not as detailed as v2, but still pretty good. Eh, I completely disagree. The strength of Paradox games is that they have systems to model and evoke the era they deal with, which Civ must abstract heavily by necessity. CK2 deals with the medieval era very well in that the lines on the map are transient and unstable, but the gist of How Things Are Done is stagnant. You don't need a detailed social model because gently caress it, only the opinions of a tiny elite group of people even matter at all. EU is about the rise of nations and empires in a long era of sweeping and lasting geopolitical change because that's what happened in the time period. V2, however, is about the transformation of these nations and empires once they've developed - some might rise, some might decline, but the stage in general is already set. Sure, the time period is short, but you can really feel the change happening. In 1836, the typical country is an absolute monarchy, liberalism is a dissenting minority, most people work in fields, democracy is a newfangled and subversive idea, and warfare still consists of people standing in a line and firing in unison. By the endgame, you have vast factory complexes churning out thousands of cars, radios, tanks and airplanes in a struggle between democracy, fascism and communism. Sure, the map might not be redrawn as radically, but I love the flavor where the winds of history are blowing harder than ever and you either ride them or fall over. I don't think any game that tried to cover both, say, the religious conflict of the Reformation and the ideological conflict of the Industrial Revolution with the same mechanics could quite evoke the feel of either. (not that I don't love Civ, but really, there's a good reason why Pdox games don't try to copy its scale)

Then an expansion that adds in victorian stuff. Not as detailed as v2, but still pretty good. That said, I wish the Americas had gotten more love in terms of alternate history. such as an American conquest of Canada, how this would affect the issue of slavery, and the possibility of Mexico managing to stop the Americans and putting a stop to the idea of Manifest Destiny. Not to mention the kind of stuff that could happen if a South American GP sprung up. Brazil dominating it all, or the old Spanish colonies joining together as one, a counterweight to the Americans in the north? More interesting at least than what usually happens, which is Paraguay being kicked around a bit, and every state south of the Rio Grande going through every type of government available. I agree with Guildencrantz about things largely being set in stone, but for the Americas I think there should be a possibility for more radical change, due to the age of the states and the low population densities. I feel that better captures the fact that while Europe was redrawing states along ethnic lines, in the Americas states were redrawing ethnic lines.

On V2 mods, I found this fairly small "quick fix" mod with a couple of good ideas: * State-scope election events can be removed in favor of country-wide election events, so you don't get spammed by decisions as much. The downside is that you lose the election decision interface, * State-scope RGO improvement events can be replaced by country-wide events, so you only get a single event for Tractors or Mechanized Mining for your entire nation. * POPs are more likely to promote into Capitalists, a minimum number are guaranteed to stay Capis, and they can produce goods like Artisans so the very first Capis are never completely reliant on player investment.

PrinceRandom posted:Should I use Prince and Thane or CK2+? Has anyone tried the new Elder Scrolls mod? I think The Prince and The Thane is a more radical change than CK2+, adds provinces and stuff, and I think it makes slightly bigger mechanics changes but I've not played it enough to really say for sure. You'll probably have to play both to see which you prefer. I'm playing EK 1.1 as I type this and it's a lot of fun just having the different map and being able to be a loving lich and all, but if you're not a TES fan it's probably one you want to wait a bit on, because it's still very unpolished and many features are either unimplemented or barebones. For you and anyone else interested, two other mods I've tried recently that bear mentioning: Britannia 467 The Winter King, and Lux Invicta. The former is just the British Isles and the northmost coast of France but yeah you can be Arthur Pendragon or play as Saxon invaders or what have you. The latter is an insane reworking of vanilla which adds like 100 cultures and 150 religions and pretty much every power on the map starts out with just a few provinces so you can have a whale of a time conquering. Also the buildings are redone totally and instead of going up to 5 or 6 stages some go up to 21. More importantly I have a game there where I, Rix Cambo I of Kernow, am bringing the darkness of Angra Mainyu to the world. The fires shall be extinguished, be they the fires of Zoroaster or of Sol Invcitus.

 I started painting North America for Plague Rat. I still need to change New York's color more so you can see Washington D.C.-as-Byzantium. It's also really hard to get nice-looking borders out of the pointy states. I haven't done jack to Mexico or Canada (that's what my homebrew Canada looks like). I'm thinking of emptying Mexico so that North America is more than just a race to British Columbia. Canada will mostly be a Quebec and St Lawrence River affair. *e* ^^^^ NNM has a bunch of disunited state files and all the state flags, it just doesn't use them.

Is NNM for HoD worth a shot? How significant are the changes to Great Wars? The other things in the changelog all sound pretty good (mostly involved with some political fuckery to make communism more popular, some events regarded weird colonisation etc), so I'm starting to think of giving it a try. On a related note, is there a mod-management style for Vicky 2 in the same way as CK2 or EU3? Or will I have to backup my game and copy all the mod files over?
