EU3+ I installed the newest 5.2 beta, the newest EU3+ and started a new game as Holland. When I siege something the Assault button is gone?  It's not in the feature list so I assume it's a bug. I tried reinstalling the game (deleted the EUIII folder, redownloaded it from Steam, turned off automatic updates and completely exited Steam since you can launch the game with the launcher without having Steam running, unzipped the patch into the main folder) and still getting the same thing. Any ideas? I'm also getting missions to take the Netherlands territories but that do not give me cores on those territories, is that intended?

I tried a game of EU3 MEIOU over the weekend. They added a lot more bonuses and penalties to sliders, NIs, advisors and buildings, making all that stuff more interesting at first, it just gets too much after a while. Some of the bonuses even break the tooltips when you get a sizable country (which is bound to happen since they added hundreds of provinces). For example the tooltip for government tech research can't tell me what research is coming up anymore since every tier 2 government building adds 0.3 to the research and all I can see now is a huge list of +0.3 that goes to the bottom of my screen. Same for magistrates/merchants/missionaries, I can't see how many I get per year because some trade building / monk orders add 0.1 each. Inheriting from a PU gives you cores regardless of culture or whatever, so Ive been abusing the hell out of marriages and the Fabricate Claim spy action and have been eating my way through the HRE. When I got to the point where I could colonize I was still in the "early colonization" time period , netting me "only" 7 colonists a year. So I went to discover the Caribbean and South Africa, not only does everything have 2-3 times as many provinces as vanilla (Madagascar has 8 provinces) but every single province I found has a base tax of 1. I grabbed Haiti and Cuba (11 provinces total) and everything had corn or fish... gently caress this mod.

Jakse posted:Thanks for this. I really want the second one to get AHD but I can take or leave everything else. It looks like you can't gift stuff either. Is this the cheapest way to get AHD? Any of the other games decent (save HOI3, I already have that)? HoD looks cool so I am finally thinking about breaking down and getting AHD and converting from Vicky to V2. You get separate keys for everything so you can gift it "manually" just send whomever the key. The big bundle has 36 keys!

A while back someone mentioned trying to form India as the Sikh in Vicky 2, I thought that sounded interesting so I tried it myself. You start out with a shitload of soldiers and plenty of poor people to tax as well as I think good income from exporting tea and sugar. Grabbing Afghanistan and the Baluchistan area was no problem at all, but then you're looking at the UK and its dozens of puppets. I allied with China who also border the UK's holdings and when I saw that the UK was at war with the USA I declared myself with a release puppet CB (you have tons of core CBs to add). It went great at first, smashed the british stacks guarding the border and a bunch of their puppets' armies. However for every stack I killed, 5 more eventually showed up. I'd start a battle with a numerical advantage and halfway through there'd be 5 times as many UK forces! They just kept coming and coming and coming. The Chinese were loving useless too, for some reason they kept almost all their massive forces in Eastern China (maybe the AI is "defending" against the possibility of naval invasions?) - all they did was send tiny stacks to siege provinces but they got obliterated as soon as they got there. At that point my warscore fluctuated around 20 and my wargoals were for ~10 points, but they never took the peace deal. I guess this was because they had so many more troops than my side did? I reloaded pre war and tried to get France to join, which they did eventually. That however made things even worse, my victories in India barely made a dent in the warscore while the UK sank France's ships and all of France's troops sat uselessly on the mainland. Any helpful tips? How do I get the world's greatest power to make small concessions in a war? How do I deal with the huge number of troops the UK can field? In EU3 I could use scorched earth on border provinces to make their stacks eat huge attrition, but I don't know what to do in V2. In the battle screen their front line was much wider than mine, I'm assuming that's good. Is that a tech thing or an army composition thing? I was mainly using regulars with some cav/arty. Can you even realistically get the UK out of India in the game's timeframe? It looks like even if I manage to liberate a couple of puttets and a region every war, I probably won't get there before the end of the game.

Somebody kick the hamster in the PDX forum's server, it just died. As for the Steam button not working yet, their game unlocking technology isn't that great. Most of the time it takes 20-30 minutes to really unlock a game.

I started a Kaissereich game as Japan and since I knew the Korean revolution was coming, I moved all my ground forces over there to be able to quickly deal with it. Once it happened, all my troops dropped to 0 org and just died on contact . Is that intended? Do I have to stick them all into Port Arthur and move from there?

I seem to have broken Japan's expansion event chain. I picked messing with China first when the option came up. When the railway incident happened, I picked territory and they gave it. Then nothing happened for years, so I eventually declared war manually in 42, conquered Qing and released National China through the event. I'm now up to 45 and nothing has happened. Looking at the event file, I'd need to occupy both Bejing and Guilin. The problem is that Guilin is part of the AOG and there's no more Qing to eat that territory. I remember Qing just annexing the AOG at some point from previous games but it didn't happen in this game. National China annexed the countries around the AOG but seems to ignore the AOG itself. The script says control = { province = 1247 data = -3 } while other control parameters look like control = { province = 1726 data = GER }. WTF is data = -3?

The HoI3 Collection is Steam's daily deal at 6.24$/€. I think that includes every DLC except TFH, which is also discounted by 75% to 2.49. I haven't tried the game with TFH yet, I was gonna buy it at that price but then a screenshot of the map came up in Steam reminding me there are just soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many provinces. Sigh. Edit: Ok it's not every DLC in the collection but it's only sprite packs and you should play with counters not sprites! Edit2: Just look at it! That's fom the Polish broder to Moscov, which is like 1/50th of the USSR.

I need to stop watching these streams because I spend most of the time yelling at the people playing because they keep missing important stuff. For example the movement was for minimum wage and he kept lowering working hours instead, which lead to the shitloads of rebels. Or when they kept saying how they needed to wait for 1870 and then first missed 1870, then later missed the invention they were waiting for. I know it's hard talking and playing at the same time, but drat.

New EUIV DD about Burgundy and Netherlands. No new systems to look at, only thing I noticed in the screenshot is that the advisor cost rises very steeply, 1d for a rank 1, 4d for a rank 2 and 9d for a rank 3 advisor.

Yeah Portugal is releasing most of its colonies in my game too and uuuuhhh: Is there anything I can do as Greece to speed up the crisis generation other than place the NF? It adds 0.15 but the decay and something about great powers lowers it by 0.8 + 0.6 so it's slow as gently caress.

Oh god has this always been in the vanilla game? Scramble for Africa has just started in my game and for some reason the UK is focusing on the remaining American provinces instead of Africa. They have level 3 naval bases on the ivory coast and in south Africa so they don't lack opportunity. Anyway, what's the difference between a protectorate and a "full" colony? The upgrade costs 20 points, is it worth it right away? I might have to try and create glorious byzantine Africa now, do I have to completely dismantle the Ottomans before I can take Istanbul or is it like EU3 where cutting the capital off from the other provinces is enough to be able to grab it in the next war? Ed: The crisis system is great, UK backed me every time and the Turks had to fork over state after state. My first crisis basically doubled my pop!

Uuuuh guys, Alaska isn't that great... I wanted to mess around with the dynamic dominions and used the console to grab much of Africa. The result isn't quite as expected.  Yes, that's the only nation I can release in Africa. I released Zanzibar earlier and Liberia (which didn't become a satellite, only sphered for some reason), this is all that's left now.

Hmm they have some kind of friend recruitment scheme below the stream. DLC and poo poo for recruited friends, it just doesn't say what they mean by recruited. Ok looks like you just need people to register at their site, then you get a recruitment url that others can use to sign up at the site. There's no downside to using someone else's link to sign up, so make sure you use another goon's, like mine! http://signup.europauniversalis4.com/r/1549bc951cc
