This is so freaking underwhelming I can barely describe it. European history and depth is barely represented and THIS is what you come up with? Haha no, that was just a pick from the Paradox forum thread, this is awesome! Will make the whole America part of the game actually worth playing, from both sides. Color me excited. e: Especially this part: Any Chance we could get a randomized "old world" down the road with the tech you're introducing in "conquest of paradise"? or would that be reinventing the wheel in terms of coding? I think it be really enjoyable to mix up the old world as well as the new. /Johan answers: I'm pretty certain it takes a modder just a few hours to set it up though.

I'm just waiting for all the American Nationalists/Patriots to bust a gasket when they find out that the North American continent has been replaced with the West Atlantic Ocean.

I get the feeling that event is a little broken because it will refire every other day until one or the other gives in/declares war.

Speaking of Kaiserreich, has anyone else had a problem with DH 1.3 where it crashes every time you click on the technology tab? I'd really like to fix this so I can play some wacky alternate history.

Oh drat that was one of the best EU3 mods, I'm so hyped for this DLC. Also, Kaiserreich is the best videogame. In what other game can you get Baron Roman van Ungern-Sternberg to declare himself the reincarnation of Genghis Khan, proclaim himself TKZ Genghis Khan II, and do this?

They're upgrading to mechanized now, but aside from using the starting infantry to hold a couple of fronts in the first two or three wars (No advances with infantry, that is) against Xibei San Ma and Siberia, I've only used cavalry. Wait, I think I did use an infantry "Support attack" against one of the Shangqing Tianguo mountain fortresses too, actually. Even all the coastal garrisons are cavalry; saves on needing occupations force because I can respond to any uprising within a few days and get back to the beaches within a few more.

I guess it just feels right to focus on cavalry while playing Mongols.

My favorite Mongolian tidbit in KR is that if another country takes Mongolian provinces, you get an event lowering 1 IC in certain provinces, with the event saying something along the lines of "Only a deplorable madmen could ever make people work under these conditions.." You can do that as any country. Yes, including KR-styled Nazis.

I'm ashamed that I'm too spoiled by the modern game engine to play the older looking games anymore  Also, in CK2 I just had 3 kings in 2 years because of intrigue. King dies a natural death, 10 year old grandson who I had been personally grooming to become a good ruler inherits the throne with his oldest uncle as the heir. A year later the grandson is murdered in a hunting "accident" and oldest uncle becomes king, with the youngest uncle as the heir. Less than a year later the king(oldest uncle) gets blown to bits, and the youngest uncle ascends to the throne.  Crusader Kings II

Hey, give me a break, I kicked them off of the mainland so hard they gave me half their Pacific islands! And I've been a little too busy to focus on naval and air techs for that. But my submarines are currently roaming the seas and tearing the IJN to pieces so it should be doable soon enough. One thing I wish DH had was a more dynamic tech team system. I know some mods fudge things with events or the like, but I'd really like to be able to invest ~$5000 and six months later a random tech team gains a level, and to have an intermediary between absorbing no TTs and all of them, say a low % per annexed nation's TT of it being available. I also want to be able to build reactors in every province. I mean you can get nuke spam easily now by just reducing the bomb production modifier in the config file, granted, and getting a nuke every four days is  without question, but I'd like a much slower and more gradual buildup to that point.

ThatOtherGuy posted:I'm ashamed that I'm too spoiled by the modern game engine to play the older looking games anymore Same here  . The crazy alt-history stuff people do looks awesome but I am just so overwhelmed by HoI2's technology alone, much less building, deploying, and using armies, airforce, and navies that I just can't even figure out why it is I lost. Plus I can't get DH to run on my computer anymore so it kinda makes it even harder to learn  . Wish we could see mods that great for V2, EUIV, and CK2. The team behind the Kaiserreich mod are geniuses.

Well, part of it is just sheer amount of time being worked on. Kaiserreich started as a WW2 alternative history mod called "All the Russias" over 6 years ago. Germany still lost WW1, Hitler still exists, but the Whites won the Russian civil war and Poland is a superpower that can easily thwack Germany in 1939.

Try at least 8 years ago- I'm pretty sure All the Russias is almost as old as Hearts of Iron II itself. It definitely shows- Russia's the best developed country next to Brazil (Which appears to have been the work of one expert on local history going hogwild).

All the Russia's was a separate project by Sarmatia but some of it was used as foundations of Kaiserreich. I think someone was going to take up the mantle and give it so more polish at some point but I don't think they ever did. If you beat Germany as Poland there were a bunch of events that would allow you to form a central/eastern europe power bloc and choose which countries you wanted to invite. I just remember that being the best thing that it recognized that I beat Germany and I was the top power in the area and tried to put as many of those types of events as I could into KR.

I decided to get back into HoI3 and bought TFH. Something weird I've noticed is that my trade agreements get cancelled within days, sometimes hours after accepting them, for no reason that I can determine. I don't remember this being an issue in FTM. Am I doing something wrong or is it just paradox being paradox?
