I liked how Quill18 shrugs off being at war with France then as soon as he realizes he is also at war with Austria he shits himself.

NNM has all the events and decisions and countries and all that nice stuff, without changing any of the the core mechanics. I've played games with it as Japan, Prussia, and the USA, and it's been pretty great.

rhazes posted:Quill18 may be a youtube hero, but for someone making videos on EU4, it's almost like he played 5 hours of EU2/3 because he is completely clueless to old mechanics like culture shifting and knowing about things like why you can't forge a claim on the enemy capital province, why a 20% production efficiency mod is RIDICULOUS early, doubling or tripling your production early on, Ethopia being Orthodox, the Timurids going into India and becoming the Mughals, etc. I can't wait to play the drat game. Isn't Ethopia's "Orthodox Church" really Coptic Christian? Coptics are their own distinct branch of Christianity seperate from the Orthodox Church of Constantinople and Catholic Church. Really, every time they did a Council, Nicea, Chalcdeon they made a new branch of people who rejected new doctrine. Nestorian if I recall was the first. Under those circumstances I could understand why he was confused it was Orthodox. Even in the 21st century Ethopia still has a large traditional uh.. pagan heritage which gets more focus on it than the Christian society. Any time an American watches documentary on Africa it's people banging on drums and painting their face. YouTuber fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Jul 28, 2013 |

Okay! I mentioned earlier that a friend and I were working on this, but it finally exists and works so I wanted to show it off: It's a Victoria 2 population generator. Just input the culture, religion, and total population (then decide if it's 'urban' or 'rural') and copy/paste the results into the pop file for that territory. You can add as many entries as you want. I don't have permission to release this yet, but I'm hoping that will come soon. Any suggestions/comments I should make before then?

Maybe it's really a question of splitters vs. lumpers, and Paradox is on the side of the lumpers? I know some modders in EU3 were very much splitters, creating national churches like the Anglican and the Gallian, with seemingly no care for whether that had gameplay implications, which I think is a bit silly.

Watching quill's part 11 of the England LP, I'm confused about cascading alliances. I thought there was supposed to be some changes to the system to prevent the type of clusterfucks he ended up in. Here's what his call to arms looks like: However when he clicked accept, Austria was already the alliance leader (they were his allies but also the HRE so the Hansa probably pulled them in) and then France joined somehow but I'm fairly sure they weren't allied with any of the countries listed in the call to arms nor Austria. He ended up at war with something like 25 countries from that one call to arms.

Trujillo posted:People over at CD Projekt do. I know how much time it takes up but it doesn't seem that strange. And Josh Sawyer, the lead designer on New Vegas, made a pretty exhaustive gameplay mod for that. That was more of a "I wanted to make the game more hardcore but it would alienate FO3 fans, instead here it is in mod form." Stuff like that tends to happen with developers who have a lot of passion for their projects and aren't allowed to do exactly what they want when developing it. Hopefully Wiz is allowed to add a bit of plus mod flavor to the base games.

Yeah Obsidian and CD Projekt titles still have to factor in mass appeal so sometimes they have to streamline or make mechanics easier for people. I think Paradox is still such a niche company they can sort of do as they please on the first go.

Vodos posted:Watching quill's part 11 of the England LP, I'm confused about cascading alliances. I thought there was supposed to be some changes to the system to prevent the type of clusterfucks he ended up in. December 13: Call to arms banner from Denmark begins dropping in the UI (2:32). So by this point Oldenburg and Finland had joined The Hansa, which we know because it's called the Danish Conquest of Lubeck. December 17: quill18 joins the war. By this time Austria has intervened on behalf of Hansa & Oldenburg. January 2: Thurungia joins war. quill18 checks the war screen. Current opponents: Austria, Bohemia, Finland, Livonian Order, Oldenburg, Saxony, The Hansa, Thurungia. January 28: France+vassals join war (their color goes red at 3:24). February 1: quill18 checks war screen again. In addition to France+vassals, Baden has joined, although they might also be a vassal. Much much later: quill18 finally realizes he's fighting Austria. Hasn't happened yet: quill18 learns to wait a few days and check the status of wars before joining them. What's confusing me here is that quill18 was notified of Thurungia's intervention in the war, but not France's. Why? Are his notifications screwed up? Did France intervene outside the alliance chain in some way, perhaps some mechanic that allows rivals to intervene in each others' wars? If it's the latter, that might suggest that the cascade is in check and only war leaders can call in allies.

GrossMurpel posted:I thought that only worked to get foreign immigrants into your country. Actually it doesn't do that at all! What it actually does is shift migration to that state. It won't increase your immigration at all, it just means that when people do move that they're slightly more likely to choose that state instead of your other states. It's very odd.

Friend Commuter posted:Shut all your factories down, some of the migrants will probably go to Africa. Maybe even before you go bankrupt or a communist revolution takes Washington! I did that and not a single goddamn guy went to Africa. Looking at the wiki, South Angola fulfills none of these conditions which should mean it's at 0% and then the 20% from the NF kicks in and I should see SOME migration I think, but nope. EDIT: Nevermind, I was looking at the wrong table, this is the correct one, which makes it even more puzzling. Yankees from New York fulfill all of these except "Colonial State", "NOT Primary Culture" and "State has Factories". They should have at least some colonial migration but if I hover over an individual POP group's colonial migration it just says "no colonial migration" without telling me why.

Hopefully Wiz is allowed to add a bit of plus mod flavor to the base games. A big difference here is that the combat mod for Witcher 2 and Josh Sawyer's rebalance of Fallout NV both came out after those games were done being actively patched, so they don't have to worry about the mod constantly being broken. If CK2's DLC model is anything to go by, a EU4 mod is going to require a lot of upkeep just to keep it working through all the patches.

Maybe something there is stealing the show since it would be a colonial state with the same primary culture. Yeah I actually still have North Dakota and New Mexico as colonies. These aren't being targeted by the unemployed guys, however (I'm also pretty sure it would show up as "colonial migration" even if it is connected and on the same continent).
