The Narrator posted: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.

Seemed fun enough. I'm about to play some more in a moment.

In NNM is there no assimilation in europe? I'm not sure if I'm reading the tool-tip right but what I interpreted is that assimilation just doesn't happen in euroland. I also conquered egypt very early and despite having an attract immigrant focus on it the whole drat game none of my people have moved there. I colonized some poo poo chunk of africa and I got an initial small rush of a few hundred people then it stopped. I want to see pops in Europe assimilate, albeit slower than in the new world. I also want to see actual immigration to my African holdings, my people have a burden to civilize these people but they seem too lazy. Can I change this? If so how? And will if effect an existing game?

Rasmussen posted:Has anyone played this yet? It looks great, but I can't find anyone talking much about it. Gave it a go myself. The fact that the game is divided up into ten-second phases means there's a couple of bits early in the campaign where you spend a fair amount of time just pootering around, and the campaign itself ramps up difficulty fast (anyone else stymied by the Gargantuan?) Seems a fairly competently-made game, though, so if you like boats and battleships and don't want to play super-grognardy simulations of such it's a decent purchase, I think.

ZearothK posted:NNM and PDM do actually use them, an event (from The Disunited States of America file) adds their cores if the USA stops being a democracy. Turns out I got a really lucky anarcho-liberal uprising turning the US into a bourgeois dictatorship moments before I released New England. It was a really awesome game. As New England, the CSA and I were locked in a really involved sphere battle over all the newly independent states. Like some kind of Prussia/Austria situation or something. I wish I'd finished the game though, as a war between the two camps for domination of the continent was all but inevitable, and I wasn't sure my industry and technology alone could compete with their manpower. In contrast, playing New England isn't all that fun if your neighbor is an angry unstoppable US who's out for blood. Somewhat more fun was the time that New England revolted by itself... then the Manhattan Commune did... and then the Free States of America rebelled, consisting of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York... and then some time later the CSA rebelled, including all of the West, as I'd made them all slave states. The "United States" was Maryland, Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan. They had Missouri and New Jersey a time too, but the CSA and FSA each took one. The fun was up when the UK sphered the US though. With hoards of UK troops down from Canada, the US managed to quickly annex the FSA in a single "restore order" war, and I was next on the list as New England. And so that game ended.

On the subject of The Imperialist Adventures of Srbja, I'm pretty satisfied with the mod as it is now, though I still have some stuff I want to add (like unique newspapers and renaming parties/provinces). But if I were to add any other events or decisions it would be based on input or on actually doing the LP to set the official history. Back when I first worked on this I planned to do a conventional LP, as V2 didn't seem to enjoy a player base large enough to support the Succession style of the original, but now that HoD has significantly increased the interest in the game, I wonder... The mod includes events to determine a Prime Minister or President, that happens after elections or roughly every ten years for nations without elections, which would be the basis for switching players, so if there is interest The Official Imperialist Adventures of Srbja & Friends would happen as a succession LP. I am confident we can get a pass on the Three Month Rule, as HoD doesn't add the kind of content that calls for it, but I still want to wait for an official patch or two to smooth some of the rougher edges in the game.

PrinceRandom posted:Should I use Prince and Thane or CK2+? Has anyone tried the new Elder Scrolls mod? I like Prince and Thane much more than Ck2+, though my main dislike is army size and how poorly supply limits increase. Mercs sizes are ~18k later in the game and most provinces will still be around 6-8k supply limit. You'll lose 2-3k moving through a single province.

Just to clarify: I'm pretty sure that Dictatorship Thaw event is in vanilla, but you need to pass the law relating to allowing other political parties as well as a voting law for it to fire. I may be mistaken, though.

Russia will be empty save for its NNM states. European colonies will be handed over to their nearest sensible native counterpart. I might do some smashing up afterwards but I dunno. I still have to remove practically all the POPs in Europe. You simply cannot release this soon enough.

Back when I first worked on this I planned to do a conventional LP, as V2 didn't seem to enjoy a player base large enough to support the Succession style of the original, but now that HoD has significantly increased the interest in the game, I wonder... After playing for about a decade (Occitain), here's a trip report. Good: - It seems like there's a great variety of viable nations to play - the world isn't polarized between superpowers (GB, US) and unviables (India, Africa) like vanilla is. A nice change! - The menu music is hilarious. - Likewise, Louis le Beau, and the rest of the Romance of France. Bad: - It seems like you have two or three sets of election events - vanilla HoD, pre-expansions vanilla, and another set which I assume are from NNM. Actually, I assume all of this is from NNM but... it's really really awful! One set of election events is entirely bad enough. - Someone mentioned this the last time you uploaded a version of this mod, but the economy is completely broken. There are almost no manufacturers of machine parts at the start of the game - in the late 1840s, I checked, and the only country producing non-fractional amounts of machine parts was Korea, which was making 15 or so. I'm the second-most-prestigious nation in the game right now, and I have literally never been able to buy a single machine part. Capitalists and foreign investors have roughly twenty factories queued up for construction, and none of them have any machine parts stockpiled. Judging by the industry scores, the same is true of the rest of the world. This is ridiculous. The previous time someone mentioned the problem, you suggested you were going to add machine parts to North Africa. It looks like you didn't get around to that, though? Weird: - When at war with Vasconia for two of my cores, the entire northern half of Vasconia (all of my cores), suddenly flipped to my control, and the wargoal changed to 'cut Vasconia down to size'. Bug? Feature? Event that the default message settings didn't display? It was perplexing. (Then Vasconia fell to Carlist rebels and became Carlist Spain, which Spain promptly conquered, before itself falling to Carlist rebels (but remaining Spain). It was really an experience.) In conclusion: I like your mod, but the machine parts shortage is a really major issue! Please fix your mod.

Another issue I found in my TIMAS game is that with the great powers spread across so many continents most of the time crises ended with the 'nobody has taken any interest' outcome. Not only was this rather boring (A crisis in the Yoruba states! Wait nevermind no one cares...) but the crisis being so short meant that other crises didn't 'cool down' and you'd end up getting spammed with 3-4 crisis a year. Is there anyway you could up AI aggressiveness in willing to take sides in crisis that aren't on their continent? The Srbian world is so much more interconnected it would make sense that the great powers would be even further reaching.

I'm playing a normal NNM game and like clockwork there's some stupid crisis in China which either no one is interested in or it's instantly peacefully resolved with white peace/status quo. It's now the only crisis that ever triggers. But seriously can anyone tell me how to get my europeans to immigrate to my african colonies so I can build factories and poo poo there? The focus seems to do gently caress all.

Late 1800's generally. I'm sure someone can give you an exact date but I'm guessing around 1870-80. Then depending on events they start to ramp up pressure. poo poo starts to go down once red-guards and such show up and try to other-throw various governments. Sometimes they catch a country off guard and the next thing you know, they have a rad flag.

After around 1880 you'll notice it happening a lot in countries that lose wars, and lose them badly. Not unusual to see a revolution in the country or countries on the losing side of a Great War.

I think it was Yunnan that kept starting poo poo in my game, wanting independence, but after like three days of not finding a sponsor it fizzles out (which seems really weird, is it supposed to give up that quickly?) Then as soon as the cooldown's up, Yunnan's all "I want my independence, bitches  ...oh no one wants me, never mind  " Over and over and over again.

NNM kinda fixes this by adding Rupert's Land, which the British AI frees pretty quickly, but it tends to release Columbia first anyway so Columbia ends up independent as soon as the war with Xhosa is over.
