So I'm trying to mod the provinces.csv file for KR. It seems pretty straight-forward- the layout and values- but none of my changes are taking in the game. I re-open the file and the updates to the IC for a few provinces are still there, but the game doesn't recognize these updates. Does the game not re-build the actual game-db from files every time you start it up?

Mister Adequate posted:Nah, just play shitloads of KR until you know what every event is. This is the correct answer. Some of them will remain obscure for a while but you'll soon have a pretty good handle on what's going on. Most of the important ones are multiple-option events and the chosen option gives you an idea of what's going on.

Still not seeing the provinces change. edit- I'll be honest though I'm probably not going to mess around w/ 2 much longer. The UI and KR's endless stream of meaningless notifications really bug me, and it's hard for me to get into a paradox game unless I can identify with the country I'm playing, let alone react to what's going on once the game starts. I feel like there are some really cool systems underneath 2 that I like more than 3- a simpler research tree, a more interesting intelligence and diplomacy system- but I don't know that all that's enough to get me really excited for 60-100 hours of play.

Bitter Mushroom posted:Can someone explain how to use HQ's in Darkest Hour for me please? I understood them in arsenal of democracy, but despite having read the manual its not clicking for me at all in DH. An HQ unit in an army led by a General or Field Marshal will give supply efficiency and combat event bonii to all your units in the province with the HQ and the provinces surrounding it. So for a front that is, say, 6 provinces wide, you only need two HQs for maximum coverage. The HQ unit itself does not need to participate in the combat, and if you're on a razor's edge you probably don't want it taking up part of the combat command limit and/or want to use it at high ORG after a battle's won to move into a province since it moves relatively quickly.

If you really want to change province stuff like IC, infrastructure etc., a quick and dirty way to do it is to edit the bases.inc scenario file. You'll probably want to first open the game and enter showid on the console (opens and closes with F12) to be able to actually see the province id for the provinces you're editing.

Bitter Mushroom posted:Thanks, this was very clear. The virtual Poles won't be thanking you though. You're welcome. Do note what McD said though (the boost to the command limit is by far the most important bonus HQs can give you), and depending on provincial set-ups you may need less HQs than in the example I gave - for instance in a 4-province-wide front maybe you own a province behind the frontlines that borders all four frontline provinces, in which case a singular HQ is enough to cover the entire front.

Have any of you successfully formed Byzantium in Victoria 2, and if so, how? I've tried several times, but I always end up at one of two points: either there isn't enough time left in the game to dismantle the Ottomans and acquire Istanbul/Thrace (this is where I'm at in my most recent game), or I run into a great power gridlock where the Ottomans have an unnatural amount of GP alliances and I can't sway anyone to back me during wars.

Last time I tried the Ottoman capital had moved to Ankara before 1860 so that was handy. Also France and Russia were my allies. Kinda felt like cheating.

Playing Kaiserreich again, since the LP made me want to again, as the Union of Britain, and I think my game is broken. Its 1938, and France and Germany went to war over the assassination of whosit. I'm trying to jump in, and the "Germany and France are at War" decision is green. I click it, and nothing happens. Like, its registering the click, but the decision doesn't disappear, the box stays green, and no event happens. I've got full interventionism and hawk lobby, I'm radical socialist, and Ireland is my puppet (but not my ally, I got lucky and they caved to my demands in that event but they still wouldn't ally with me), if any of that is important. Any ideas whats going wrong? Oh, yeah, and the Soviet Union allied with Siberia and then when the event triggered to end the war between the Russian Empire and Siberia, they made peace too. So the Soviet Union and the Russian Empire are both still around and at peace with eachother.

Huh, that version of the War of the Triple Alliance somehow went worse for Paraguay than the real one did. Get working on your navy and declare war on England to kick all non-romance language speaking people out of the continent. As long as you have cruisers and the Royal Navy hasn't already been crushed once then you should have an easy victory.

ThatBasqueGuy posted:Go for Haiti. Use the money you get from Haiti to build enough ships to take Sicily. I started a new game and went for Haiti right off the bat, but it ultimately didn't provide any noticeable bump in my income and later resulted in an international crisis when Haiti wanted its independence. I ended up going for Johore after that, which is what I usually do, and was rolling in cash afterwards (relative to before, anyway). Conquering Sicily wasn't something I'd thought of doing before, but it provided a nice boost in income once I did. We'll see where this game ends up. While dicking around in my old game, I discovered that taking apart the entire Ottoman Empire (so you can seize Istanbul) isn't necessary, as the event to move their capital to Ankara will fire once Thrace is bordered on all sides by not-Ottoman provinces. After Greece gets its Anatolian cores back, you only have to liberate Bulgaria or just swipe the province(s?) north of Thrace.
