Something weird keeps happening in my CK2 game. Haven't played much CK2 so I'm not sure what the reasoning behind this is. I'm playing Granada and took most of southern Spain and made Andalusia. Only problem is France took a strip of Spain stretching from Barcelona to Badajoz, so I kept plotting on and killing French kings to try to make everyone else rebel and they did when a female slothdwarf took the throne. Pretty much all the land France had left was 5 provinces around Paris and 5 in Tolouse and most of that was getting occupied when all of a sudden all the rebels just rejoined France without even losing any territory, and they all still had -100 relations with the queen. Then a while later even more provinces rebelled and the same thing happened. Is this normal or is something going wrong?

Eh, as long as we keep DinoUniversais under wraps it's all good.

I have no wish to get into an EU3 argument, but this is a really lovely intellectually dishonest line of reasoning on your part; unless you think Victoria 2 should have ignored everything outside of London and just had you do paperwork and royal visits as the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. Why should they represent Prussia or the finer points of industrialization? I hate to be that guy, but it is called ~ * ~ V i c t o r i a ~ * ~.

Still insisting that the name is not an excuse, and that the board game doesn't really give a poo poo about anything outside Europe.

Raenir Salazar posted:

This stopped being a legitimate excuse the moment Paradox devs began justifying game play mechanics based on a warped understanding of history. Sure every once in a while you get genuine nutters like Steppe Wolf or those various obscure Balkan nationality nationalists and Paradox is right in those instances but things like a Ming China that's more economically and military backwards than Europe at 1500 or the negligible speed bumps the American Indian nations are... Is just laughably ignorant when there are so many possible fixes within the game engine as is.

I'm just saying that you shouldn't use EU's name as an excuse to shrug your shoulders when people complain about how Divine Wind - the expansion that was billed as "the ROTW expansion" - mostly dealt with European features and made Japan and China both a lot less fun to play. There is plenty of room to argue, both about the merits both of EU3's portrayal of Asia and the merits of even attempting to do so, without resorting to that kind of intellectually dishonest reasoning.

Or, I dunno, people could not get worked up about our wallpaper? It's kinda weird.

I also heard good things about Terra Nova, and it's updated for 5.2 beta (though that will be the last version apparently) but I haven't tried it myself. I'd suggest you check that out.

quote:

basicly, right now in 12.98, there is a very rare chance of sea monster encounter events for sea going nations.

behemoth events are still rare but are much more common for nations that had historical sightings, encounters or myths of dinosaurs or dragons.

once a nation gets a behemoth encounter/myth event, then they will eventualy get the dragon quest event where they get to decide how the nation will proceed with this information. Natins can try to hunt dinosaurs/dragons, ignore them, worship them, or try to tame them. the 3 choices other than ignore all give permanent bonuses.

regardless of if you feel that living dragons/dnosaurs were true in the time period or just myth, it still plausibly aplies to the game and I will tell you why.

hunting dragons, even if they are not found, will still increase military training, tactics and exercises, thus, military tradition gain is plausible.

worshiping dragons, regardless of if they are real of myth, will still cause the nations religion to adopt them as a icon and perhaps make elaborate costumes and thus the religious culture would be more united.

taming dragons, even if its a myth, could stil raise the nations prestige if they are able to convince other nations that they have captivated dragons.

code:

dragon_tame = {
	prestige = 0.01
	icon = 3
}

dragon_hunt = {
	army_tradition = 0.01
	icon = 7
}

dragon_worship = {
	tolerance_heathen = -1 
	tolerance_heretic = -1
	tolerance_own = 1
	icon = 9
}

100% true. Turnbased should not be present in modern computer games.

I just wanted to make sure, Darkest Hour's latest patch is 1.03 RC2, and Kaisserreich's is compatible with said patch, correct?

Pretty shortly it looks like it will be changed to allow elder daughters to inherit over sons, mainly because ~Wills and Kate~ are going to have a baby: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-21119034. Still not allowing any dirty papists however.

The V2 warscore system had a few "retardations". We are redoing that a bit for HoD. I agree those screenshots are super dumb.

podcat posted:

Not to hate, but it seems to me that many of you guys are dissing Sengoku without actually playing it. Its not as deep as our other games but a few playthroughs are fun if you like war. I don't think it deserves the reputation it has on these forums.

Irrelevant court kids are actually a resource since you can get them educated by some other lord for a quick relations boost.

Ditto for unmarried courtiers and snagging skilled lowborn characters, although it's not nearly as easy as it used to be.

In EU3 didn't galleys have a massive bonus for ship battles in the Mediterranean?

NihilCredo posted:

If it's like EU3, galleys are a ship class, not a tech level; it means small light ships for less-than-oceanic (I'm sure there's a better term) navigation.

Does anyone else get hung up on Paradox's registration screen? No matter how many times I refresh, the page erases my password and then loads indefinitely, never completing my registration. I just want to look at the mods.

WeaponGradeSadness posted:

While I'm waiting, has anyone seen the whole map for MotE? I'm assuming it's roughly the same as Rome: Total War's map, since the Ottoman Empire is a playable faction and Egypt will probably be represented since that was one of Napoleon's major campaigns, which means the rest of North Africa will be there too. I'm a little bummed it's not going to be worldwide, since I've always wanted a game where I could do an alt-history of "Napoleon's fleet isn't sunk at the Battle of the Nile and he invades British India," but I know it is better from a gameplay standpoint to focus on the major powers in Europe rather than have every country in the world with its own poo poo going on, most of which won't be related to the Napoleonic Wars at all.

I was thinking of playing as Russia. Hoping it's a fun experience. Also old question but is IC building ever worth it?

PhantomZero posted:

This may have been a mod, but it is also in the latest patch. When colonizing new territory it is randomized from a set of possible trade goods. Once when playing as Russia I had like 6 Gold mines out in Siberia, another I had none.

I was gonna say "delete the installscript.vdf" in the game's folder but mine is also doing it and the file isn't in the folder. I'm pretty sure that's how it worked for CK2.

When it goes from 100% Fascist to 80% Fascist and 20% Conservative, did 20% of the MPs go "oh no, now that we've gone back to non-secret ballots, we've gone too far!"?

"courage push the bravery" was from Iron Cross, right? You know, a game not made by us. Don't let that slow down your criticism of first draft text in a beta screenshot by non-native English speakers though.

Yeah, I should just agree with everything people say here. It gets a bit tricky when you disagree with each other though, who should I side with then?

Yeah, this was changed at one point, wasn't it? I seem to remember you used to be able to have 3 of one type, which was hilariously over powered.

IIRC you need to increase literacy and let the proles get some extra cash (which means not taxing them as hard), which will translate into increased consciousness, which will further translate into increased militancy.

I don't think you'll necessarily need the rebels, though - you'll be able to implement more democratic reforms if and when your militancy gets high enough, and then you'll get hit with a "Turns into democracy" event after you've implemented enough reforms
