What's the likelihood that Victoria II DLC is going to drop to 75% off in Steam Sale? I've been waiting since the start for cheap Heart of Darkness.

I might be missing something, but shouldn't the Russian Reactionary paper be Русская Беседа instead of the Dative case used? Exceptional job, by the way. [edit] Could you change "czas dzisiaj.pl" to "czas dzisiejszy.pl"? It'll sound slightly less babelfishy. Lichtenstein fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Jul 19, 2013 |

Pakled posted:Though, seeing him play, I have to wonder about at what game speed people play the game. In Paradox games, I typically play at the highest or second-highest speed and pause to give armies orders and do stuff in menus, while in Quill18's videos and the streams we've seen from Paradox, they seem to pause much more sparingly and play on a lower speed, and frequently give armies orders while the clock is running. Do lots of people play this way, or are they just playing that way because it's more entertaining to watch than pausing a lot? I'm with you; I usually set it to max speed the moment the game loads, then pause when I need to give orders. Precision work is done by unpausing for single days. Very occasionally I'll take it to the second highest speed if I have a wide front to watch, but in EU you usually don't.

The font for The Daily works so perfect for a fascist paper, I'd almost argue that the Mail Today and The Daily should switch for font alone. Also, for a Britain Communist magazine, might I suggest the Morning Star? Overall though your dedication to details is fantastic.  Can't wait to see a first release!

ExtraNoise posted:The names are (mostly) lifted straight from the same names used in the base game for each, if you're wondering. I only made a few changes here and there. Just one thing, and this is in Vic2 so it's not your fault, but it should be Gazeta Brasileira (or Gazeta do Brasil, which would be more normal). Gazeta Braziliense (which should be spelled Brasiliense!) basically means "Brasília's Gazette" as in the capital of Brazil instead of "Brazilian Gazette" as in the nationality.

As the Teutonic Order, I successfully eradicated Russian Orthodoxy by directly conquering large portions of Russia and forcing Catholicism on Muscovy, while Hungary and Venice successfully converted the Greeks. By 1500, there were no Orthodox countries remaining, and by 1600, Orthodoxy had disappeared from the map. The Teutonic Order proceeded to successfully crush their fierce rivals Poland and Lithuania, conquering large tracts of land and securing a dominant position over the Baltic. When the Protestant Reformation came along, there was chaos in Teutonic lands as Germans converted by droves to Calvinism, leading to great internal strife. Eventually, the Protestants, led by a radical Puritan named Johann Kaspar, successfully overthrew the crusader state, imposed Calvinism on the Eastern populace and set up a nominally republican government by the name of Prussia in which Kaspar ruled with practically unlimited power. Upon his death, his weak son failed to maintain the order created by his father and the land-owning upper-class Catholics reimposed their will on the government, turning it into a Noble Republic. At the same time, German refugees fled Prussia proper, settling in Poland and the north Baltic, turning much of Poland (including Warsaw), Lithuania, and Latvia German. Capitalism took off quickly in Prussia in the 17th century with the rise of overseas colonial companies which set up shop all over North Amerika, and over time the state gradually liberalised, becoming, as of 1820, one of the most democratic states in Europe. Prussian trading companies jumped at the opportunity to exploit the riches of the New World. Prussian traders came in on the coattails of Spanish conquistadors driven out by the natives and set up shop in Mexiko, effectively turning the area into a Prussian protectorate. Other Prussian traders sought their riches further north, along the west coast of Amerika, while others headed east, establishing the Great River Trading Company out of Neu Warschau at the mouth of the titular river. The Company reaped enormous profits off of a state-granted monopoly over trade with the Indians who live along the Great River. Out of all the Prussian colonial companies, the Great River Trading Company became the most powerful, buying huge tracts of land, resources, and labor off of Native Americans and employing a private army to protect its trade and enforce treaty obligations against the native population. The company, nominally under the authority of the Prussian Parliament, was effectively an independent country. In East Amerika, Prussians found land most suitable to the growth of cotton and a wonderful Amerikan leaf called tobacco. These lands were settled more extensively by planters, bringing with them a proper Prussian bureaucracy and thousands of African slaves. Along the coast further northeast, Burgundy, Spain, Britain, Austria, Genoa, and Denmark established small colonies. These colonies, not particularly profitable and thus not particularly closely monitored by the European powers, found themselves a prime destination for discontents and minorities, and were further populated by escaped slaves from the Prussian colonies. The inhabitants of these Northeastern colonies found more in common among themselves than with their colonial masters. Trade between the colonies eclipsed trade with the homelands, and the colonists eventually developed a sort of pan-European creole as a common tongue. This common identity fueled a wave of revolution against the European crowns after they cracked down on the independence streak of the colonies starting in the 1750s, and the colonies joined together to form the United States of America and beat back the European powers, becoming the first colonial state to revolt against European masters. This inspired a wave of revolution in South America, as Genoan Peru, Burgundian La Plata, Spanish Brazil, and Austrian Venezuela also declared independence. West Amerika and the Great River were largely unaffected, as its land was mostly unpopulated by colonists, with only a few cities along the coasts and rivers serving as European presence. In East Amerika, the highly profitable slave economy led to constant contact with the mother country, and no feelings of independence formed. Yet, American settlers are moving in force into the Ohio River Valley, generating tensions with the Prussian authorities. In Prussia proper, certain liberals are beginning to agitate for abolition of the slave trade, much to the dismay of the planters in East Amerika, while others are troubled with reports of atrocities committed against native populations along the Great River. And after hundreds of years living in the eastern and southern portions of Prussia, Russians, becoming more nationally conscious by the year under Prussia's democratic institutions, distrust, and are distrusted by, both the Prussian establishment and the autocratic Muscovite Czar.

"Al Qura" translates to "The World", so it definitely fits what you're aiming for. If you take this  and delete the dangly bits at the bottom right and top right, you're set.

Vivian Darkbloom posted:Can you edit it so "Anarcho-Liberal" is no longer a thing? Radicalized liberals are socialists, not libertarians (hopefully!) While it's true that Anarcho-Liberals have never really made sense in V2 and the USA does have a weird thing where the "no government only property rights" faction is an extremist wing of the conservative party, and the only extremists in the liberal party tend to be left leaning, outside the USA liberals and anarcho-liberals don't really have much to do with socialists. Outside the USA, a radicalized liberal would be someone arguing for zero government intervention in the private lives of citizens, and economic affairs, and while socialists may agree with the first part, they definitely do not agree with the second part (other than in the UK where left wing politics again enters a strange wormhole).

I'm sure someone's posted this already, but as I just pre-ordered myself, Green Man Gaming has a pre-order deal on EU4 which conains either an $8 cashback or $12 in what is effectively store credit, making it the best pre-order I've seen so far. edit: With the GMG 20% special on, this is precisely enough to pick up TOG if someone here is still without it. occipitallobe fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Jul 19, 2013 |
