Takanago posted:Someone please explain the reference to me because I'm dumb. Some guy I can't remember the name of posted that text a hundred or so pages back in the thread, when people were complaining about the coring/cultureflip mechanics for the first time. Apparently, it was based on a historical account of the Greeks using a fire in Thessaloniki as an excuse to settle orthodox Greeks in a formerly-Jewish city.

I hope that event only fires if you've converted Paris to Swedish by 1651, it would be a shame to ruin the amazing faux-historical text by having to contextualise it.

Puella Magissima posted:Would some generous soul mind looking at these decisions that I've made for the Modern Age Mod and figuring out why this is happening? I think I'm probably missing a bracket somewhere or something stupid. I am looking it over and Sublime Text is acting like the top-level containing brackets aren't closed, but everything looks fine to me. I can't figure out why you'd be having any problems.

However, is there any way to check if I got the regular or Digital Extreme edition? I figure Paradox deserves at least another 5 bucks for all the work they put into this, also I'm a total DLC whore. edit: Chief Savage Man posted:Search your email for the confirmation?  In my defense, I wrote that while I was still groggy from waking up. All worked out in the end, though.

The 国家今日 should probably be be the 国家新聞. Most major Japanese newspapers have shimbun (新聞), newspaper, in the title. For Chinese newspapers you should use 日报, which means daily. EDIT: Also, great work so far. The art setup is shaping up nicely. RocknRollaAyatollah fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Jul 19, 2013 |

Friend Commuter posted:Some guy I can't remember the name of I'm hurt.  But yeah, someone had said that Paris assimilating into Swedish culture is impossible. I wrote that piece as a fake textbook entry of how it could happen: basically, most of Paris burns down, the Paris population are resettled in outlying areas, and the new core of the city attracts rich people and nobles from back home in Sweden as a way for the King to keep an eye on them.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Still doesn't make sense, because the Swedish nobility would probably be more French than Swedish. Put them in Paris, and they would be 100% French within the year. It's definitely more feasible to burn Paris to the ground and resettle it than to do the same to Beijing, and it nonetheless took the Manchus several generations to assimilate!

Dibujante posted:Kind of like the Manchus in China? For comparison's sake, Paris' population at around 1500 was estimated ~500,000. Beijing's population was estimated at ~1,000,000 proper, ~3,000,000 metro. Please, go on about misunderstanding actual Chinese history.

You're all forgetting that Swedish is the One True Culture and would strongly resist any assimilation.

ExtraNoise, did you decide what you are going to do regarding the population? Are you going ahead with the massive pandemic idea or just abstracting the population? Can you use A House Divided's multiple start dates to do both options? It might be cool.

Dibujante posted:No way, man. I totally took a 200-level course in Chinese history and that makes me an expert on all facets of the topic Actually, my post was kind of douchey and I apologize  , but comparing Beijing to Paris, and the Manchus to Sweden, is only going to yield inaccurate information, and misunderstanding a ton of what was going on in China during the Ming-Qing transition. I could actually go into detail if you'd like, but I don't want to start a derail.

Unfortunately it's not my mod to dictate that kind of thing. It would be a lot of fun to take it when it's done and make an alternate mod based on it with this idea in mind.

A Buttery Pastry posted:I actually wouldn't mind, because while I do think I have some ideas of why it's not a great parallel, I doubt I really have a great grasp of it. I don't really see it turning into a major derail either, and it might spark some ideas for modding in China. Yeah ditto for me. I have a pretty poor grasp of Chinese history so I have a feeling my guesses as to why the Sweden/Paris is so drastically unlike Manchus/Beijing is probably inaccurate.

Vodos posted:Welp, New World nations look as boring as ever: Well, the Aztecs seem to actually have the massive income due to their gold mines, which I don't recall being the case in EUIII (or at least not so massive you could just ignore your force limit). Also, there are forts in the Native American provinces so a 1000 man army won't blitz your country faster than a 10,000 army. That said yeah the decisions list and the gameplay don't really suggest a whole lot has changed in the New World. Here's hoping for a NNM mod that adds in a lot of New World nations and gives them some unique decisions .

It's kind of disappointing, because if you look at a lot of the anthropological and archaeological work that's being done right now, you'd find that the New World was in just as advanced a socio/political/economic state as Eurasia was, and was just as heavily colonized and inhabited. In the game, though, it's still just a vast expanse of thinly-populated nothingness. I really recommend reading 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus. v- Yeah, that's true. edited! -v DrSunshine fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Jul 20, 2013 |

I won't get too long into the why's of these, but suffice to say I fully agree a fleshed out New World would be amazing.
