I'm glad we're getting more oil and rubber, but before they drastically change the map they really need the fix the very basics of the AI so they actually build those things. Then again they're also not building the things that consume those products either so its a wash.

To be honest more oil and rubber is probably a good thing - even taking Borneo and Persia and fully developing their oil fields wasn't enough to properly feed my late-game economy. If the AI was better about exploiting their existing resources yes, they'd produce more, but they'd consume more as well and act as competition for oil. I don't know if there's really enough oil in the game right now to sustain a full-bore late-game great power economy without weird shenanigans like personally conquering every single oil-producing province you can find. Which, I mean, to some extent furious competitive imperialism to secure rare industrial goods is in the spirit of the period but "You must conquer Borneo in every game" makes for less interesting and varied gameplay. Not to mention the raw bordergore.

There's a mod to fix that (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2883846968). It seems to work pretty well for me, and as a bonus, it also fixes the overflow bug for your treasury where your maximum gold reserves become 1,000 because your economy has become too large. Granted, all it really does is reduce the amount of political power each pop gets and also gives a scaling debuff to your maximum gold reserves so that the number doesn't get too large.

Cool, thanks. Turns out it's one of those issues like states being stuck at low market access where exiting/reloading clears the issue. Frozen conflicts are still a thing though, Oman has had a frozen war against its breakaway African provinces for almost the entire game stuck at 0-0 war exhaustion.

Treaty ports in general are in a weird place.

I feel like it needs some sort of overhaul with a diplomatic play that lets you shut off the port for low/no infamy cost. Also, on a different note, I am very irritated by the revolution diplomatic play not allowing the addition of other war goals. I should be able to tell France/Great Britain to gently caress off by tossing out a conquer/transfer subject/whatever when they interfere in a revolution of mine. As it stands it's just a great way for them to reset their truce without the possibility of losing anything in the war. I've also been incredibly annoyed that as China with an absurd number of divisions fully kitted out with armor, air support, and chemical weapons, that nobody has actually stuck around to get into a war with me. It makes sense - getting into a war with me would be suicide. I just really wanted to pay Great Britain back for the Opium War by getting their pops dependent on mustard gas.

As Russia, I supported a Polish Secession movement in Prussia. Everything's going great, winning battles, etc. Then the second war support on the Prussian side drops below 0% (while over 40% on the Polish side), they suddenly force a peace deal and crush the secession?! The gently caress?

I may not have understood the diplomatic play mechanic entirely, maybe others can correct me. Say I'm the Ottomans. I want the various states Egypt has taken from me back. I make a "return state" diplomatic play against Egypt, targeting one of the six states, Adana. Then I can modify the diplomatic play, adding other states I want back to the play, up to a limit called "maneuvers", and costing me infamy for each additional state I add to the play. Then, if Egypt goes to war and capitulates, I get everything in the diplomatic play - Adana and the other states I added. However, if Egypt capitulates before we go to war, I just get one state, Adana. I'm still stuck with all the infamy from demanding the other states though. Is all that accurate? It seems wild that you can demand so much and be given so little. Or is there some other way to get all the states back in one go if Egypt doesn't want to fight?

Gort posted:I may not have understood the diplomatic play mechanic entirely, maybe others can correct me. I don't think you get the infamy from the additional war goals if they back down? Or if you do that seems like a bug. But yeah if they back down before you go to war you only get the initial war goal. You're meant to like delay mobilising or something to make it more likely that they'll go to war. But it feels like a system that needs work. The craziest counter-intuitive diplomacy thing to me is that you have to make vassals angry before you can annex them. I think this is because they want annexation to happen via a diplomatic play so that other powers can potentially get involved, but the whole diplomatic play system assumes the two sides are antagonists. Ideally for a situation like that you would be able to launch diplomatic plays against "the international community" as some abstract thing. Like "hey neighbours, I'm about to annex a puppet, that's cool right?" and then powers can intervene if they want. fuf fucked around with this message at 12:22 on Nov 18, 2022 |

But then leave the "annex subject" option there for when you're willing to start a war to speed things along. If it's a player being integrated then they can halt the process by expelling diplomats and forcing a diplomatic play for annexation.

All that said, I wonder if the treaty port status is really correct for Goa and Pondicherry in the game. Obviously that was their original status, but I doubt by the 19th century they still had the same kind of access to Indian goods.

I jumped on colonizing Kenya before anyone else as Japan and had skirmish troops and mobile artillery. My general had over 40 battalions in his name. So I deployed my troops when I had a native uprising and we ended up having a gruelling 5 year war with the natives. For whatever reason “Native Warbands” gives +400% to defence there and my modernized troops couldn’t press the offensive because they only had like 60-57 attack and the natives have 63 defence. So id attack these natives and they’d basically wound and slaughter all my troops. It’s like that movie last samurai but instead of samurai it’s African natives. Really don’t understand why this is a thing. I also don’t understand what mechanic determines how a general commanding 40 battalions only attacks the front with 4 of them while the enemy gets to defend with 7. I had the advantage in numbers but I lost 50 battles because the defenders always outnumber me.

Would be nice if there was some way to find out besides hovering over the war support tooltip, where I presume they would have been in the red for cash reserves. On a similar note, I can't figure out what determines the number of radicals in political movements. Every game I've played there have been people on the cusp of revolting against Propertied Women or higher women's rights. I know IG leaders can vary in their opinions, but on the other extreme, as Russia I've already passed universal suffrage and proportional taxation, pissing off the gentry and church. They're at around 7% clout each. However, if I try to change from monarchy even to presidential republic, they flip the gently caress out and immediately 5M+ radicals join the movement to Preserve Monarchy. I can slow down revolution progress to ~1% per month but not stop it entirely. Then when I look at the tooltip it says almost the entire country will side with the gentry (and they do if I let the bar go to 100%). But... why? I mean I don't think deposing the tsar should be easy (I haven't yet been bold enough to click the option to execute him as I figured it would be a guaranteed revolt) but I don't understand how marginal IGs can get the entire country to side with them.

I suspect it's a combination of a bug/bad design, but also accidentally being one of the few things stopping the player from painting the entire map their colour with any medium-sized country or above. I haven't seen any good suggestions as to how to get around it. Better generals help (keep hiring and firing new ones as long as you can afford the penalties). The internet suggests to open more fronts if you can, which in landlocked countries you can't. As Russia against the Ottomans I should have done some naval invasions because otherwise the game considers the Caucasus + Dobrudja/Bulgaria as one unified front (  ) so you can't just march down both sides of the Black Sea.Precambrian Video Games fucked around with this message at 18:16 on Nov 18, 2022 |

I'm pretty sure it's not you being raided during peacetime, but rather it's the Brits you're under that are getting raided in one of their many wars, which is affecting the British market as a whole. I've seen it happen extremely frequently in my games where I turn up AI aggression and I'm playing an overseas junior member of a GP's market. It's probably the one major drawback to being in the British market (which otherwise is basically a no-brainer for any developing country).

It's that they get access to my market without tariffs that's the problem (and you can't embargo them). If I forcibly take a treaty port and, you know, establish a treaty where I get unfettered access to their market, then yeah, that should apply. If I conquer territory that has a treaty port, I should be able to tell their merchants to go pound sand and pay the tariffs. Hell, it should arguably be easier to enforce because there's just one tiny port rather than an entire land border.

Maybe something like treaty ports only giving access to markets of unrecognized powers would work. Anyway, I've sunk far to much time into this game, so here are my thoughts: It's a good game that is almost completely unfinished. It feels like they had an okay proof of concept, a skeleton of ideas for features, and then spackled on enough duct tape and spit to make the first 10 or so in game years mostly work, and punted it out the door. The UI is pretty poo poo* and unintuitive, esp. coming from EUIV, I find it deeply implausible that no one knew about the multiple backbreaking integer overflow errors. Some of the other bugs are more corner case-y, I can see those being deprioritized a bit. That said, it pushes all my buttons and I want more. I'll probably play a few more games with different tags, just with the knowledge that some weird poo poo might crop up and force me to drop the campaign. Hoping for patches, I think in 3-4 patches and a DLC it has the potencial to be my favorite PDX game. *particularly bad is stuff like dominion/puppet/vassal/whatever. It's super cool that the game has a lot of granularity in how one power dominates the other. Also, the only good UI improvement over EUIV is the nested tooltip. Why the hell dont the nested tooltip actually explain what the difference between a puppet and a dominion is? Other times key poo poo that should be in the main UI (like a green yes will accept, yellow will accept for obligation, red wont accept) are for some reason hidden behind a hover over in a nested tooltip after you tick a box. It is maddening. I'm a lot more forgiving on the performance issues and such, I imagine that's harder to do.

In, "Rebels really need to be interactable with once the rebellion is over" updates, as Japan Hawaii broke free briefly, and was retaken, but it seems they colonised a tiny piece of South Island, which is now "Hawaii rebels" and can't be Played. I'm not at war with them at all though.

Finished my first game with Austria Hungary, I had a good time but there's definitely a lot to clean up here. I saw a lot of revolutions/rebellions that would peter out because neither side would try to advance the front, plus the rebellions would face immediate rebellions of their own. At one point there were 5 Italy's in my game. I'll probably wait on the next patch before my next game, which will be either Qing or Japan.
