I have you know it is called Tagalog in Hegemonia, where it actually happens to be a British colonised state.

Riso posted:I have you know it is called Tagalog in Hegemonia, where it actually happens to be a British colonised state. Really Westminster, you'd have plenty of leeway when naming the country if you decide not to name it after a monarch again as a little historical joke. In Riso's example, Tagalog would work if the Brits decided to base their colonial capital around Manila again since that's Tagalog territory, and likewise Cebu would work as the people cover a lot of ground in both Visayas and Mindanao. Here, another bit of info from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Philippine_ethnic_groups_per_province.PNG Your best bet will either be Tagalog, Cebu, or Sulu depending on how the colonization began, but there's plenty of ways it can go depending on how you want. Sky's the limit duder, enjoy.

Thanks for that information. With it likely the revolter would be chinese based and then claim the larger, japanese dominated areas, I went with the Ma-i historical option. Here's the slightly tweaked Aussieland. As you can see, the pops are now changed and a touch larger. And by touch larger I mean Sydney has like 100k people in it but I approve of such madness.

Excellent. So far, I've made the custom pops that were needed for NA/SA and Lotharingia and the BYZ and changed a few localizations, but not many yet. Here's progress so far, Picture spam time, huzzah! Here's the first idea of deblobbing the sinoblob.   The Middle Kingdom is China as it was. The recent claiming of the Mandate of Heaven by the Emperor's own brother, backed up by the majority of the Manchu populace, struck the Middle Kingdom at a bad time. Capitalizing on dissent, the pretender even lured a lion's share of the normally restive Korean's to his banner. With the loss of the Capital and the shattering of imperial authority, Tibet, largely unconcerned, came to administer itself, whilst in the north - the mongols, never ones to lay quiet, have risen up against the Mandate and all who claim it. With the Middle Kingdom rocked by war, those who favoured a compromise or a more diplomatic approach find a charismatic leader, and european backing. In southern China, the Republic of China is born. The final straw that may break the back of the Middle Kingdom is the Heavenly Kingdom, those who seek to restore the mandate to a new ruler guided by the hand of the heavens - and clearly not one of Manchu descent. A new kingdom is born, they too, find european aid is easy to find when the potential gains are boundless. Sound reasonable? In terms of cultures, and also to see I'm taking your localization feedback on board, heres some, but of course not all, of my pretty pie charts.     Note: If Nouvelle France goes democratic/moves away from French control, it becomes Augustine, the culture probably needs a little tweak in naming cause of that. Maybe not? Further to that, it feeds into me taking things far too seriously.  Oh my god I'm localizing party names, quick, I need to do a thing!  Oh gently caress I did a thing.  I'm one of those people now

The Narrator posted:Australia's well set up. I've always wanted, but unfortunately never really seen, a divided Australia. The continent doesn't really lend itself to division, unfortunately.   Most, nearly all, of the arable is concentrated in the east, and, since in the pre-industrial era people generally lived where the food was, that's where the population is going to be in 1836. Westminster System's setup basically gives Canada to the Malaysians, Nevada/Utah to the Caliphate and New England/Dixie/Texas/California to Lotharingia.

There should be no weird events (though some that are still in may be badly recoded / refer to countries or cultures or events that don't make sense.) My main thing now is OOB's and setting up wars/alliances etc. This is essentially the first basic playable version, but many countries don't have armies/have armies where they no longer control things, etc, but if people want to head over and grab the mod and run it a bit to see if there's any glaring errors or issues or bugs I've missed, that would be absolutely fantastic. After that will come events and custom decisions and then finally FLAGS oh pretty flags  . If any of you are good at any of that, that'd be an immense help as well. My problem isn't knowing what I want to put in or what would be cool, but essentially writing the events and decisions themselves is still just a touch beyond me. Event text/localization is something I'm understanding, though.

Ofaloaf posted:It tends to be treated as a proper first name in the history books, though-- see Tetricus I of the Gallic Empire for an example of that. If it pops up a lot, I'll see if I can find it in the literally >massive< blob of latin nomina I have in the culture file (so much that anything new has to come before it, or it breaks anything after it) and fix it. Obviously there's no easy way to model that in nearly any game, so I thought the cultures can be there, and the idea can be explained. If I can figure out how to do it a bit of justice, it could factor into internal BYZ dissent and receive some events. Its largely a hybrid Greco-Roman culture, really, but given that Rome has been in Byzantine control for, god knows how long now, and the mini-renaissance that sparked, Roman culture is basically the best of italian, old roman, old greek and new greek blending together. As for localization, it'll get fixed eventually :p. the "The's" in localization are omitted on the map, just not when you click on someone, IIRC.

Some quick input: I feel like Commonwealth of Delaware is a bit weird for a country in which Delaware is just a minor part. Why not Commonwealth of America? It sounds alt-history enough, and has a nice ring to it. Why not beef Persia up vis-a-vis the Romans and give them Mesopotamia? For virtually all history, Rome never conquered Iraq, and it gives them a stronger counterweight on their eastern border - at the same time, it makes Persia more viable as a country. China looks great!  Giving Poland Lithuania might be a decent idea, for a stronger East against Germany - since I remember you wanted them to have strong competition by being bordered on all sides by enemies. Britain should probably stay unified - Ireland or no - if it lacks India, since it's about on par with France without the rest of its Empire. An interesting wild card power that would be too weak if split up more I think. If this alterhistory mod does what I hope and make a ton of solid middle powers all competing for top spot, it looks astounding!

Beamed posted:Some quick input: North America was named after the Delaware tribe whom had successful, peaceful contact with the Europeans for most of the colonial period and ultimately assimilated into the modern "US" culture. When you think America, think Delaware. When you think the of the modern state of Delaware, think something crazy and Spanish, because that's who named that region. BYZ has four primary enemies, five or six if you count the others and when I add the cores. 1/2) Lesser Enemies: Germany - shortly before the EU3 game ended, Germany and its Balkan allies, such as Hungary, invaded the Byzantine Empire. Whilst the Byzantine Army held Rome pretty admirably, Constantinople was damaged and most of Greece was lost. Only the French/Lotharingian counter invasion of Germany meant the peace was largely the status quo. 3) The Empire of the Nile/Alexandria - constant, nonstop bickering over the Levant. Religious brothers in name only these days, though a real poo poo storm for the BYZ might bring Alexandria back on board. 4) Russia. It has that whole Third Rome thing going on and really wants the Crimea. 5) Arabia. Speaks for itself. Should be allied with Persia 6) Persia should be quite powerful, especially when it westernizes (and it has access to primitives in India, so very likely). If things don't work out that way, obviously I'll consider some territorial changes. I'm glad China is looking good. Whilst Tibet might be pointless except for the uberpro's amongst us (whom we should cater for a little), I think everyone else has their own little or big chances for fun. In regards to Poland. the Commonwealth cores are there and I want a reason for the Polish player to be able to do a little bit of maneuvering and have something to work for. I believe most of the PLC cores in Germany should be obtainable in the resulting inevitable war Germany is involved in, or the civil war i'd like to occur. As for Britain, I agree, its at #5 in the Great Power positions, and needs its military sorted out, where it will probably go to 6/7 maybe. The current position is obviously with other majors lacking the right armies and mostly from its industrial score. I did hope to make a fair few appealing middle powers or, where not possible, challenges for the blobs or ideas for how the blobs can be shaken up. India, and without saying Africa, is the only regions I consider to have "throwaway" nations there to provide fun, or a challenge for the very best. Even where a nation might look silly, like the two Carribbean powers or the Hansa, they are there to do something different where the goal isn't necessarily to expand your borders through conflict. In this I can only hope people approve.

On the other hand, I certainly agree tests should be done - Byz might indeed be too weak with all its enemies otherwise.

Fair enough, I was just throwing ideas at the wall since Germany will obviously be an ascendant power. Like I said before, though, all in all this looks like an amazing game! I look forward to it, and would even be willing to contribute some events later on if necessary. (I'm pretty terrible at modding the AI, though)

I'm playing Japan in V2 and in my campaign to throw the Netherlands out of SE-Asia I made a little mistake. Instead of making a coastal attack they decided to walk through Germany and Russia to attack one of my small border patrols in Afghanistan. 76k Dutch vs 27k Japanese and no with armies in range to help it looked bad for my forces, but.. With a defensive bonus in the mountains, a better general and gas attack it looked a bit better. Then the Dutch rolled four zeros in a row..

Somehow between updates there came to be an invalid ruling party in Japan (I still don't know how in the Christfuck, since I haven't touched any of Japan's files in ages) at the start, which would crash the game when events would call for it. I guess it all means that I should stop drinking before more inexplicable errors show up. I also fixed some other stuff, mainly related to said legacy events and decisions, as well as files that had to be updated to HoD. It was all very silly and a fine example of my lack of work ethic. There was also an error introduced with mixing Age of Politics in in the last update, but that's in the past. But at least it's working now!

What's the preferred way to fight wars in Victoria2? Do I want an HoI-style frontline, supported by reserves for when contact is made with the enemy, or should I still be relying on EU-style doomstacks? The AI seems to favor the latter, but I made a good show with the former during the Franco-Prussian war: I placed a network of 2inf/2arty armies in provinces bordering France and Russia, then supported the East with a mobilized reserve and backed up the West with two armies built on the model Kersch described a few days ago (6 inf, 4 art, 2 eng, 2 hussar). I spent the first month on the defensive, letting them waste their soldiers on my dug-in critters (still no Pickelhauben!!!) and then moved forward and got favorable terms real quick. Was that the optimal way to play it? If the general distribution is alright, should my composition be different? I've been thinking about switching out some arty for engineers on my border guards, for one. Soup du Journey fucked around with this message at 16:10 on Jul 3, 2013 |

Battles heavily favour defenders, and that only increases as the game goes on, so you want to form a frontline for defense, reinforcing as necessary with reserves or fellow defenders, with armies similar to Kersch's model used for your own offenses. The only problem with this is that, unless you are severely outclassed, the AI really can't touch you, so most wars will be a walk in the park. Edit: Yeah, engineers are very good at defense as well, but artillery should remain relevant if you research their tech-tree.

To remedy this lack of observation mode, I've taken a cue from the Manifold Creations guy linked a page or two ago and created a new country in the middle of northern Canada that can't be accessed by anyone else. It seems to be working so far, but of course any provinces I discover spread to everyone else in my tech group, thus letting people into the New World early.
