There's a couple of problems in the province history still for the new EUIII+, Wiz. The Ikko-Ikki don't have a CoT at startup like they did in the Azerimod scenario, with a Japanese CoT instead being in Kyoto like in the standard scenario. Additionally, the french provinces in the Azeri LP scenario all have the cores from the standard scenario, which leads to some weird CBs and revolters.

Wiz, in EUIII+ did you change the building costs back to the original values? When playing as the Qin state the costs of all the military buildings were d48 instead of d24 like in azerimod.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:Maybe it should be harder for them as well. China was so deeply ingrained with its tradition and internal politics, that reform was very difficult. My point was that they should make the faction system actually fun to play in and not something that makes you go "gently caress this faction poo poo." Yeah. In theory, factions should be an interesting way to make big empires fun to play in EU since otherwise they become a steamroller with no need for cautious diplomatic activity. But the way they were implemented was really goddamn stupid and not fun to play in the least.

It would be stupid for a game based around the Cold War to not have a "US Loses" event spiral, but to make it in the same vein as those Russian talking heads predicting the balkanization of the US isn't exactly realistic. The whole "and your country splinters into breakaway ethnic republics this time, nya nya" thing doesn't really hold up to much examination– New England splitting from the USA is more analogous to Kamchatka seceding than the Ukraine seceding. A case could be made that the CSA could split off again, but even during Segregation's violent death, there wasn't much of a push for a Neoconfederate movement. Instead, in a hypothetical "US Loses the Cold War" situation, it would be more of a reverse-containment situation. An aggressive USSR foreign policy causes aligned regimes to deny natural resources to the USA in the mother of all OPEC embargoes. The lack of cheap oil forces the USA to lose its projection capabilities and focus instead on containment in only the new world. Fortress America is proclaimed, a policy of anticommunist isolationism that goes hand-in-hand with police state repression of dissent at the declining standard of living. To control a stagnant and demand-poor economy, state capitalism is instituted. The result? US loses by becoming an isolationist and nationally pessimistic version of modern China dependent on the Comecon for help.

Pakled posted:It's an issue of personal taste, but I'd prefer a game more focused on politics and diplomacy to model the Cold War. The map isn't really big enough to satisfactorily model most conflicts during that era down to the scale that I think they'd demand in a war sim, so I'd prefer it if they abstracted military matters a bit more, like in Vicky, and focused more on soft power, because right now the game's looking like AoD with a lot of downtime between conflicts. Those are the states/regions of each nation in the game, which are composed of provinces much like in Victoria II. Compared to other pictures, Indochina is going to have a hell of a lot of regions, which means a hell of a lot of provinces. DrProsek posted:One thing I always thought would be amusing in a cold war game; play as a fascist nation like Spain or start as the USA and help fascists take power in Greece, and sort of exploit the West's uneasy alliance with right wing authoritarian regimes to help start up a third fascist faction. Start as Nationalist Spain, join NATO as an eager partner, start supporting pro-west fascists in nations that are currently neutral, support communists in Portugal to get them to abandon NATO and start getting close to the USSR, use it as justification to invade, continue slowly creating a network of fascists puppets that for now support the USA and NATO while undermining current democratic nations in order to justify invading them to "restore order", eventually amassing enough power to declare you and your fascist puppets as a new faction that opposes NATO and the Warsaw Pact, begin Maximum Hitler. Sure my scenario is ridiculous, but something along those lines of starting out as an authoritarian but loyal ally to NATO, use that position to prop up other authoritarian allies to NATO, and slowly exploit this uneasy alliance to form a new superpower and threat to world stability. Personally even if this didn't result in WWIII I'd find that kind of "what if" far cooler than "what if the USA and USSR nuked eachother". Hopefully the code will allow for more than just two "NATO/Godless Commies" factions, along with the UN mechanics. If the Non-Aligned Movement acts as a third spoiler faction, then that would be pretty cool. Ditto for China as a fourth faction after the Sino-Soviet split, since the majority of the second half of the Cold War involved the two posturing over Mongolia, as well as the Cambodia/Vietnam proxy war. I checked out the code of that Communist Germany mod that was mentioned a while back, and what it does to make the 4th International a faction is that it kicks out the Axis as a possible faction and replaces it if Germany decides to go Maximum Trotsky. Hopefully in EvW it won't have to be such a loopy juggling act to have multiple factions.

Bold Robot posted:Re: the Electors issue, it could also be that there are controls on the front end that keep you from removing too many Electors. Maybe it's kind of a lovely CB, maybe you get a ton of infamy for it, maybe it causes a huge relations hit with other members of the HRE, etc. That last one would cover it pretty well. Say there are 7 electors and you want to remove/reassign 4, it could be that that process involves so many penalties to HRE relations that by the time you've revoked 4, no one left likes you very much and you've gone to all this trouble just to have to reassign the Electorship to some dudes that hate you. Maybe some kind of CB that's unlocked for "having a tyrannical emperor?" It could work like the Personal Union succession wars, where the revolters press the claim of a different Prince of the Empire to the throne. The pretender could even have his title change to Anti-Emperor until the war's over

As an American, it really feels like Kaiserreich's American Civil War Part Deux is currently being worked on by people who know nothing about American history and culture (but we have none, tee hee) aside from through hasty Wikipedia links. There was a topic on the forums about partitioning the USA if Canada intervened and won, and they wanted to use a retagged AUS as the CSA. For whatever reason, a bigwig went on a hissy fit about NO CSA BLARGH WE AGREED NONE RAAAGH  . Two things, though: 1) Neoconfederate sentiment was pretty high at the time, so it's more plausible than half the poo poo in the mod, and 2) if you're going to split up the US under regionalism rather than ideology and you don't want the CSA to exist, what the hell are you going to do when you get to the South?Also, the AUS is described in the text as being "corporatist" and wanting a unified, not federalized state. This would mean an effective end to state's rights. There's no way in hell the South would suddenly want to join them. I know they wanted to make the AUS useful, but from a historical perspective there's no good reason that the South would support a corporatist regime– maybe a KKK backed fascist group, but not a technocratic one focused on state power. Plus, half their ministers are New Englanders and businessmen. I'd just have them come to power through a dodgy electoral deal like with most fascists, By the way, if anyone here's still in contact with the Kaiserreich guys, I've heard they're going to revamp southeast asia soon, and I think I found something that might make it work a bit better: Apparently there was historically an organization called the Viet Nam Quoc Dan Dang, or "Vietnamese Kuomintang," that existed during the period and lasted until the Fall of Saigon. In history, they were laughably incompetent and never gained much power unlike the Communists, but seeing that the KMT kind of acts as a more revolutionary force in this timeline after they reestablish the Republic of China, it might be a more fitting thing to replace the Syndicalists in Vietnam with these guys (or have them in a united front together or something), so if someone could forward this to them that would be great. Plus, it lets the Chinese have a working ally against German imperialism from the get go. Spiderfist Island fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Mar 19, 2013 |

Kavak posted:Fully agreed- in fact, I'm pretty sure you're the guy I saw make those points and get threatened with the ban hammer in very bad English. I know this is kind of petty especially in regards to how legislatures in the rest of the world are presented, but I also think the modders don't know that much about the structure of the U.S. government- most of the programs that Long or Reed push would be filibustered to death if they even managed to make it out of the House, and yet they just happen anyway, at speeds unseen in legislative history. I'm not asking for a Congressional deadlock simulation, but if an ideology that radical had the seats to pass its programs pretty much unhindered, the country's not divided enough for a full-scale, multi-sided civil war. Maybe something lighter like the coup event chains in Brazil? Heh, I actually have never posted on the KR forums, though I do look at it from time to time. To be honest, since I have a mac I've never actually played KR and just live vicariously through reading the code. The amount of effort in the mod is still amazing despite its problems. And on the subject of "not much knowledge of US politics," I have found references to the parliament of the USA in the text files.  Looking over the code to the "Communists seize power instead of Nazis" mod, I would like the KR group to do something similar with how they handled the Fourth International as a new faction. Since DH can't support more than three major alliance blocs, if Germany goes Trotskyist the Fourth International replaces the Axis as one of the factions– which makes sense, since Germany was the lynchpin of the whole alliance. Since Weltkrieg II inevitably ends with at least one of the three alliance blocks completely destroyed, I think having several potential new postwar alliances able to form would be a good addition. The Syndicalist-Totalist conflict is foreshadowed in the first year of gameplay, and the Totalists would inevitably try and form their own "pure" Internationale once the reactionary pressure's off a bit. If the Qing, Republic of China, or Japan manage to fully dominate Asia in the absence of the Entente or Mitteleuropa, they could proclaim their own "East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere." For a third replacement option a Russian or nonsyndicalist US-led alliance could be a possibility, or possibly an Anticolonialist faction. It would spice the gameplay up after the war's over.

DrProsek posted:I remember in my Assyria game, I had an HM monarchy and I just placed the fascists in power and a few months later I got an event telling me the fascists are in charge now and turned into Aramea with a fascist dictatorship. I think it may be a mod thing but I am pretty sure sitting around with a communist or fascist party in control will eventually turn you into a dictatorship. It happens with any "extreme" ideology while there's high militancy in Pop Demand, I think. I was playing a game as Colombia in PDM vanilla once, and reactionaries instituted a Presidential Dictatorship after they got in power. I'm not sure if Anarcho-liberals can do the same thing, but nobody votes for Victorian Ron Paul anyways so I've never been able to confirm or deny it. Oh, speaking of which, I was feeling crazy enough to try and mod in Anarchism as an entirely new ideology with its own flag type (I'll prob make it so it can't come to power aside from in a Syndicalist or Anarchist Confederation govtype). I might get back to that after HoD comes out.

It's the cleverly named "Bourgeois Dictatorship" government type. I think the POP Demand guys had a blurb when they take over about "temporarily suspending democracy to protect property rights. Temporarily." Every mechanic and event associated with the Anarcho-Liberal ideology in V2 is both anachronistic and stupid on multiple levels. I'm pretty sure they were included just for an "extremist Liberal" ideology to mirror the Reactionaries and Communists being extremist Conservatives and Socialists, respectively.

Guildencrantz posted:Anarcho-Liberals really should be swapped to Radicals. In the 19th century the term meant specifically radical liberals rather than any extreme ideology in general, and these guys were basically the hardliners of liberalism, complete with massive hate-on for the clergy and aristocracy, relentless pursuit of democratic reforms, uncompromising republicanism, and not really giving a gently caress about helping the poor outside of land reform. Yeah, you're right about that. If any of you have read Madame Bovary, Mssr. Homais is a pretty good example of a radical liberal who isn't a philosopher (but fancies himself one). Would the Jacobin Club be considered a radical liberal group in Victoria II terms, or were they too dictatorial? The bourgeois dictatorship govtype seems a good fit for the Committee of Public Safety.

There's been a huge amount of effort that has been put into the mod, and unlike in the other HOI games WWII can really roll out in a number of different ways (Syndintern vs. Mittleuropa, Syndintern vs. the Entente, etc.).

meatbag posted:I have never heard that anyone in Europe wanted to Sionize, much less most of the intelligentsia. Do you have any sources or places I could read more? I have one from a class I took last year, though it's a paper from 1949 so I don't know how up to date it is with modern scholarship: Fan, T. C. "Chinese Fables and Anti-Walpole Journalism." The Review of English Studies, Vol. 25, No. 98 (Apr., 1949), pp. 141-151 T.C. Fan posted:The Bee was not uninterrupted in its course. It was suppressed after Number 3 for three weeks, and its title changed several times in its 118 weekly issues. Praise was lavished on an idealized commonwealth. In China, we are told, the gazettes, unlike the newspapers in Europe, are so strictly based on facts and truth that a deviation from them is a capital crime.4 In China, again, the people are never made miserable by the weakness or incapacity of their Emperor, for none but a man of parts and learning is ever suffered to mount the throne. Instead of being a despot, the Emperor accepts and even encourages loyal opposition: he answers all petitions presented to him and constantly gives an audience to the meanest subject in the Empire if he comes with an accusation of his mandarins and chief ministers.' This must have particularly interested Budgell, who had kneeled at Court in 1730 and had petitioned George II about 'the wrong and injustice done to him by Walpole'.2 The Bee printed a few other curious things from China-an earthquake, a royal wedding, kotow and van-fo, i.e. 'the Offering of Thousands of Felicities'3-and it might have printed more, had it not been 'forc'd to quit this mortal stage' in I735. Naturally it was an incredibly naive perspective on how Chinese government worked, but it's fairly telling that even in the 1700s British thinkers thought that China had a more enlightened political system than theirs.

The whole idiotic aversion to the CSA being in the game really strikes me as just the stupid side of Kaiserreich's unstated design goal of "contrariness" to actual history. Because the CSA's ghost and the KKK have loomed over the South like a nightmare for decades, the Kaiserreich devs want to completely ignore it and do something "less cliche," despite it being really something a collapsing 1930s USA would have to deal with. Unfortunately, trying to apply Opposite Day to everything in the world makes the setting full of illogical poo poo, not to mention that places like Japan, Spain and Scandinavia are almost entirely unchanged from world history anyway. Make the new CSA its own nation in the 2nd American Civil War, with a political power struggle between Huey Long's authoritarian populism which is backed up by oilmen and textile manufacturers, and the KKK's Neoconfederate white nationalism which is backed by the remnants of the Democratic machines in the independent South. South Africa already has an Apartheid chain, so it's not outside of the bounds of the mod in terms of dealing with racism (although I doubt the current dev team could handle it tastefully at all).

A Violence Gang posted:The interface also looks much more clean and straightforward in the screen shots we've seen. I forget from the dev diaries -- has much been said about the mechanics of the HRE or Papacy or such supranational concerns? The HRE mechanics are covered in this Austria preview from a few months back. The HRE looks like it'll act mostly like in HtTT onwards, but imperial authority slowly increases if there is internal peace, and slowly decreases if there are less than 7 electors. The Emperor also gets a special CB to revoke an electorship. You will get to see how each member of the diet will vote before enacting an Imperial reform. The Papacy mechanics were covered in this brief Religion overview we were given early in development. The Curia's cardinals can't be bribed to support your nation, but there are 5 cardinals outside of it that may be promoted into the Curia which you can spend influence on. Papal controllers get an extra diplomat and a lot of prestige. MOTE-style Coalitions are going to be in the game as well. A coalition is a temporary grand alliance against a single enemy. At the game's start, only the Papal Controller has access to coalitions as a diplomatic option, but they are later unlocked for everyone through improving diplomatic technology. I'm guessing that it'll be around either the Napoleonic war era or the 30 Year's War, but that's just me.

Mister Adequate posted:I suppose the germane question for EUIV is: Could a different path in the decades before European contact have any realistic chance of leading to a different fate for Native American states? I know we can game it and conquer the world with Iroqious and so forth, and I'd certainly love to see a much more fleshed out New World, but I'm not sure decisions made in 1453 would be enough to make a lot of changes, so I can forgive Paradox on this front. That said the rest of the non-European Old World will hopefully get much more attention this time around because there's no excuse for anything in Afro-Eurasia being treated in such a manner. This is why I'm going to try and put together a Sunset Renaissance 1444 start date scenario as soon as possible for EUIV, where history goes as normal until the Sunset Invasion of the 1350s. (Disclaimer: I suck at modding.)

I'm starting to think that EvW switched into a Springtime for Hitler gambit after the developers realized that they had neither the historical knowledge or the desire to actually make a game about the Cold War.
