Please, by all means, give it a whirl as-is. I'd love to see how some people's games turn out compared to my own playthroughs. QuoProQuid posted:Baja California should probably be group with Sonora because it really does not have any population or industry to support itself in the 1800s. I like the idea of giving California cores on the territory following a Manifest Destiny style event. I will do exactly this. I think I will still include Baja California, but make it an independent movement that can be released. Otherwise I'm going to group it with Sonora as you suggest. Super-late-edit-but-I-don't-need-to-double-post Edit: I've got a new version of the mod available for download, version 0.3! http://www.mediafire.com/download/8iiad11n31ces6e/DWS03.zip DrSunshine: This version includes the mega-nation groups we discussed. No territories have had cores for them applied though; should I do this? Everyone else: I've added two new nations, Acadia in Canada and Sonora in Mexico. I've also changed Alberta. However, I'm having a strange problem with Sonora. Check out the screenshot here:  In the "Choose your nation" screen, you'll notice that Baja California is striped, even though my province files clearly state that Sonora should own and control those two provinces. And then when you jump into the actual game, they are wholly-owned and controlled by Mexico. Any ideas why this is happening? ExtraNoise fucked around with this message at 08:33 on Nov 24, 2013 |

I can't load it up and look at it in the tools for some reason, probably a bookmark issue - however, looking manually at the province files for Rosarito and Loreto, they are considered by those files to be owned and cored by Mexico. You may want to double check theres no double references elsewhere or just alter those province files.

With the Kaiserreich BETA 3 I noticed that the notifier for being able to change policy does not actually work anymore (as in, even with the checkbox checked it doesn't give me a popup each day like it used to). Anyone know what the cause of that might be?

Yeah, if you go into your message options and look for "When one of our sliders cannot be auto moved" (it's near the top, you should only need to scroll down a couple times) you'll see that it's set to not being noted. Change that to popup or popup and pause and there you go.

Hah, I stupidly forgot to check the 1861 history section even though I was aware this was 1861 - but luckily the obvious miss on my part led to the solution.

So here's a fun thing about the new Kaiserreich beta: as the USA, it's entirely possible to get a positive peacetime IC modifier. And a big one, too. I've got a game where I'm playing as Dictator MacArthur, and Syndie France beat Germany. If I'm remembering right, I got a decision in which I supported Canada in the war, for a +20 peacetime IC boost, then I got another that was pro-Entente propaganda that was (I think) +30, then I got one when France took Leipzig that was another +30, and then I got another when they took Berlin for another +30. I think right now I have about a +60% peacetime IC modifier, which means that I'm running a peacetime US economy with about 5-600 IC and declaring war on anyone actually instantly drops that by a couple hundred. I'm pretty sure this counts as a bug, but it's kind of a fun bug until I get too ridiculously overpowered.

The US has a -87% peacetime modifier, so you'd have about a 23% peacetime bonus, 35% if you took the most beneficial reconstruction option. Sounds like we need to reduce the bonuses for the fall of Leipzig and such so that the best case scenario just eliminates the peacetime penalty altogether.

Wiz, I'm not sure if as the AI programmer this falls in your area of competence or if you never touched anything but the combat AI for CK2, but I figure leaving this here is the best shot either way: There is a bug with the Become King of [Kingdom] ambition that appears pretty secondary (it's been reported three separate times in the Bug Reports forum since TOG, to no response) but can have some fairly major consequences on the evolution of the map. The main part of the bug is that an AI character can pick that ambition for a kingdom title that they cannot form due to being of the wrong culture/culture group/religion (the 2.0 patch only lifted those restrictions for human players). Then the ambition, or rather the flag ai_capital_kingdom_focus that comes with it, also prevents said characters from forming any other kingdom titles even if they actually qualify for those (I discovered this by unsuccessfully attempting to use the Titular Title Generator to provide an "out" for the AI in the form of, well, titular kingdom title for all duchies). Since the ambition is associated with pagans and especially unreformed pagans, you end up with AI conquerors who manage to heroically subjugate entire kingdoms... and then sit on their butts stuck with an impossible ambition for the rest of their lives, until they die and it all gavelkinds away. Even if this "failure to crown" and subsequent fracturing were welcome, it would be a pretty stupid way for it to happen. Assuming that (a) it's not feasible to reference every kingdom's formation restrictions in the ambition's {allow = } conditions, and that (b) you don't want to see Magyar Russia or whatever unless the player is involved, which is why you haven't removed the conditions already; then I can see the least painful solution being adding a decision to switch to the kingdom's required culture/religion, if you have the ambition to become that king. I hope this helps, it's been bothering me a fair bit.

Well I just finished up a game of Divided We Stand 0.3, the first time I played the whole way through it. I picked Empire after trying to play as Pennsylvania a few times with version .1 and .2 because I discovered that Empire has cores on Pennsylvania and New Jersey while Pennsylvania lacks the New Jersey cores. It took me a while a to get all of the cores because surprisingly upstate New York has no one population wise and changing Long Island to the Manhattanite Commune as of .3 can really mess up plans and make Manhattan harder to take on. Then I had to wait enough for get enough people and money to take Pennsylvania and then fight a war of West Virginia liberation in order to get the restore order on the now one province Westylvania in order to get all of the cores. After that there wasn't a lot I could do.  That's the map by 1935, which was about 35 years of unchanged borders for everyone. There's not much you can do either because of Victoria's mechanics or I'm too dumb to not know how to do that. There was New England which consisted of 2 of Massachusetts 3 provinces. I thought it would be cool to back them in a war for them to subdue all of New England but there's no way to do that in Single player consistently. I could invade the whole of New England and release the whole region as a puppet state but I would hit the badboy limit in no time and end up being over-run with Communists like my one PA game. I even saved and tried to do it as New England, which was allied with Empire, but there's no guarantee that Empire will assist me while I'll play as New England. Even if I switch back to Empire through a save game there's no way for me to enter the war since Empire isn't a great power. Still, I got Empire up to secondary power status, being the only state to do so. I ended up making Connecticut and Louisiana puppets because what the hell else am I going to do with a 216,000 man army and a small fleet?  Otherwise the mod is pretty fun, if anyone knows how to do what I want to do could someone let me know? EDIT: I don't know if it's possible but maybe pushing the start date from 1861 to 1850 might be a cool idea. LP97S fucked around with this message at 18:42 on Nov 26, 2013 |

Thank you so much! This is extremely insightful into changes that should be made. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you playing a game and posting a trip report here. Some thoughts: - I could increase the population numbers throughout the states, especially for soldier pops? - Increase the number of cores that are held by adjacent states. I've done some of this, but it's spotty who has cores where. DrSunshine is (I believe) working on some unions for states to try and form, and I believe we could even create "micro unions" made up of one or two states (your Georgia Republic makes me think something along those lines). - Possible additional micro-states that don't have any control but could be released or liberated? Again, thank you so much for playing a game. It means a lot. You're awesome.

That sounds pretty historically accurate. Hell, I'm pretty sure it's pretty accurate even today. According to Wikipedia, the USA comes in at 179th in the world in terms of population density. It's a huge loving country. It has less than half the population of Europe, and almost three times the land area. Canada's even emptier, though. I remember reading that over 90% of the population lives within 100 miles of the American border, and we're the second biggest country on the planet.

Oh it's accurate, but it means that the game experience is very different because you don't industrialise in the same way. Playing as Belgium for example you'll see intense Factory expansion because there's a ton of workers in a very small space. In the US you'll see shitloads of very small factories all over the place.
