COOL CORN posted:So I know that theoretically you can play a single game that spans CK2 -> EU4 -> V2 -> HOI3, but is there a game to fill the gap between 1821 (EU4) and 1836 (V2), or a game to continue after 1948 (HOI3)? No games after 1948 (rip East vs West ;_;7 ) but March of the Eagles is what you'd want for a gap filler game, assuming you only want to know what's going on in Europe, other wise just extended the EU4 end date.

EU3 can cover the 1821-1836 gap and Darkest hour can do 1948-1960's. Rome -> Steppe Wolf -> CK2 -> EU4 -> EU3 -> Vicky2 -> HoI4 -> DH

Out of curiosity, if I enjoyed the mechanics of Hearts of Iron 2 (Arsenal of Democracy specifically) but I want something with a less rigid scenario, like without WW2 and with more freedom to make allies/enemies and pick my own wars and such, does anything like that exist? Maybe as a scenario for one of the HoI games? Or something completely different? Alternatively, are there just any really fun alternate scenarios in general I should check out?

The only downside is that you need to purchase Darkest Hour to get it, but it's a good game and worth the price.

Is there a place that details out the underlying assumptions/changes made in Kaiserreich? Like I went to their wiki and see Austria and Hungary have split, which seems odd if the Central Powers had won. http://editthis.info/kaiserreich/Kaiserreich edit- like my bigger question would be do they assume Germany sent Lenin back to Russia and the revolution still happened?

It's odd that Ireland and the United Kingdom split in the 20's, I mean the Entente had won the war. As for your second question yes he went back and the Russian Civil War kicked off but after France fell to a communist revolution in 1919 Germany intervened in Russia for the White Army to prevent itself from being surrounded by syndicalist states. e:http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?504384-The-Kaiserreich-timeline-our-official-canon uPen fucked around with this message at 14:08 on Aug 5, 2014 |

A Central Power victory would only subdue the existing tensions between Austrians, Hungarians, and all the other ethnicities for a few years. Yeah not unbelievable for sure, but just nice to know the reasoning behind things.

Yeah, it's probably one of the least unbelievable things about the timeline (don't read the section on 1918-1920 and just assume the Germans used magic to win the war, it's more plausible).

Nah, it just gets delayed, partly because the Germans have much greater control over their economy than anyone OTL (Except the Reds I guess, but in the 20s they weren't yet a major economic concern) and paper over the cracks well enough to keep things going a few years longer. A global depression forms the basis of much of the tension in the game timeline and it kicks off shortly after you start playing. Pretty much every non-Syndie power on the map gets hurt to some extent by it.

What's the best way to deal with "Titles Lost on Succession" in CK2? I had a badass Norse kingdom going on until my leader died and I lost most of it I can't do Primogeniture as Norse so I'm not really sure how to deal with it.

So long as you die in the proper order this will allow your whole domain to pass on without being split by inheritance laws.

Conquer a lot of new counties and give then to your other sons, this way they wont inherit the titles you dont want to lose.

COOL CORN posted:What's the best way to deal with "Titles Lost on Succession" in CK2? I had a badass Norse kingdom going on until my leader died and I lost most of it Being forced into Gavelkind is a deliberate handicap for pagans. You have several options for dealing with it: a. Make sure you only have one living son.  b. Reform the Norse faith. c. Plan things out so your primary heir will have an easy time re-conquering any lost territories. The best way to go about this is to make your largest and richest realm your primary title and have lots of counties inside of it, and making sure you have one and only one county in each holding your other sons are set to become independent under. That way, your heir has lots of counties for gold and levies while your other sons are weaker. But if you have a kingdom title and no counties in that kingdom, then whichever son inherits that kingdom will get a county or counties inside your primary heir's inheritance, and you don't want that. After you die, your primary heir will have claims on all his brothers' titles if they became independent via gavelkind and you'll have an easier time re-conquering them.
