Is there ever a reason to do a Dominion play over a Puppet play? They're the same infamy, one is just more income from your vassal and they'll aid you in war. Seems strictly better.

The target is probably more likely to back down on a dominion play.

Seems strictly better. Having them assist you in war isn't always preferable. Their troops probably aren't going to be as good as yours since they're AI, and if they get chosen to lead a battle on a front you're trying to contest, they might lose it. They can sometimes be a good distraction, though.

Yeah, I've run into this as Britain when a trivial revolt in India takes forever to put down because the EIC's crap troops are crowding out my space marines. Finally got Caretaker now that the game isn't chugging past 1890. The slowdown improvements are really nice, hopefully Paradox gets the other big bugs/issues sooner rather than later.

On the other hand, you can annex puppets (and if you make a country a vassal while you're unrecognized, they become a puppet when you get recognition), so it's a great way to eat multi-state countries in two wars

Now that I learned, that I can use mods and still get achievements (thanks guys!), I found some really good ones. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2883323135 Is a UI mod that expands the state buildings UI and adds buttons for auto expansion and subsidies to the main screen. Very useful if you're doing a lot of conquering. Sadly I've not found one that manages to add mini buttons for production methods. At this point I kinda wish you could assign factories to manual groups and change production methods for all buildings in a group. With logging camps for example, I want some but not all to produce hardwood. Maybe we should curate a list of useful mods for the OP?

There should be a diplomatic boost if you help an uprising. I just helped you throw off the yoke of your oppressors and now you're wary of me? I don't know if it's a bug, but I didn't realize until I was in it that if I turn on a subsidy in a command economy, I can never turn it off. Are they ALL supposed to automatically be subsidized, or is this on purpose?

It'll give you a list of trade routes. The one you started should have a little x next to it that lets you cancel

Are they ALL supposed to automatically be subsidized, or is this on purpose? To be honest, I think the bug is that you have to turn it on to begin with - if you look over the tooltip for Command Economy, you'll notice that it says "Subsidies Mandated: Yes." Everything SHOULD be automatically subsidized without the option to turn it off, and if anything's buggy it's the fact that not everything automatically gets subsidized. Whether that's a good design decision or not is a separate issue, but yeah, working as intended.

Is there any chance that while your market balance for a basic material like Iron or Coal is -500 (mostly due to trade routes) that your market will prioritize buying these items over exporting them if you actually plan to use them?

I think that the amount transported is determined by how profitable the goods you sell are in the exported market. So either prices for them in your market increase enough that the exports are no longer profitable or you export enough that the demand is satisfied and selling in your own market becomes more profitable.

Tomn posted:To be honest this is something that bugs me a little bit about the game - in most countries your leaders will be wearing the exact same style of dress in 1936 as they did in 1836. Tiny clothing thing that bugs me unduly is that they actually made a specific hanbok outfit with wealth variations and everything for Koreans but have most of them wearing Chinese dress anyway, I guess since they get umbrella’d under the East Asian clothing tag. Mixed dress is helpful for some regions for variation, but Koreans pretty much uniformly wore hanbok. It’s a tiny change but I feel like it’s gonna completely fall off the radar unless I’m a bit noisy about it.

The funny thing about synthetic rubber, if it ever gets added, is that it should require shitloads of oil and sulfur. It is nice to see that they've added small deposits here and there for more oil because the historic oil fields were very tiny in this time period and limited to about six places on Earth if you're talking about an amount for an industrial economy and modern navy. I like the changes so far.

Laying out arbitrary points of SoL was necessary to begin with, since it's of course an arbitrary measure; rubber demand = how far the AIs are falling short in clothing + radios from expected (or how much the algorithm needed to be juiced to produce planned amounts) + the amount needed to produce the same GC target with fewer buildings + expected radio demand from regulars. Oil's messier, as it's also a way to make electricity more BC-efficient. Related to this, I'd really like a way to be able to tweak barracks/conscription center PMs in individual generals' panes (or ideally, to have an HQ layer in the popup on the right and put this there, and ideally from that, be able to define or at least influence HQs.) Especially if you're playing China, or someone expected to eat big parts of China, you end up with a long list of state names that are still all in the same language and it's a lot of work to go through and go "well I'm chill with Dai Nam and don't want to gently caress with the EIC's daddy, those guys can stay skirmish if not irregular, but I really want the borderlands with Russia to have new kit."

Mixed dress is helpful for some regions for variation, but Koreans pretty much uniformly wore hanbok. Despite that, China, Korea and Japan are probably the most lavished cultures in terms of pop clothing. All of Europe and the former colonies dress the same way, as does all of subsaharan Africa. There is one clothing tag for all of India and SEA, which is most noticeably crazy when you play Vietnam

Yeah I for sure wasn’t expecting unique clothing for Korea (2 in fact, their king gets a special outfit too), but it’s upsetting that we have it and then also don’t actually get to see it properly.

Finished my first game as Persia last night. Got to #1 in the late 1920s with over 12K prestige. Took over states to the east, Iraq, Arabia, and Cairo, but didn't push as hard as I could have with the Ottomans. Looking at some YT play, I guess I can deal with more AE. Colonized Borneo and a little bit of Ethiopia/Somalia. Completely controlled the world oil economy, most of the rubber. Hell, was #1 producer of most goods. Did a reverse Iran-Iraq War and used chemical weapons on the world. Got involved in every French-related war near endgame to constantly whittle away at their economy. Some funny/frustrating issues: - A law event where you're supposed to lose 10% taxation for two years and it's like 100% depending on your tax law. - Naval invasion is OP, make sure there's less battalions than ships - A few wars/rebellions that never end. Had to swap countries just to end one I was involved in where war score didn't tick down. - Ottomans kept involving themselves in my wars one after another, only to be repeatedly wiped out. Definitely needs a tweak to AI joining wars they will absolutely lose - In general, big trading partners kept trying to fight me in small conflicts only to lose their major source of X import - weighting there should probably change a bit. Also, right after the war we're back to being friends even if I used chemical weapons on their troops. So very forgiving. - Ended the game as a shahdom ran by communists. guidoanselmi fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Nov 18, 2022 |

Unfortunately that did not help. I know other people have reported bugs of getting convoy raided during peace time but I haven't gotten any notifications about any convoy raids after the war finished.
