I hate it when a perfectly healthy king age 51 dies of a natural death while attempting to murder my non heir sons during gravel kind. Does anyone know how health traits work? Do they only help with illness and wounds or can it actually extend your life before old age claims you? I never see a character go above 100 yet.

I love how the War exhaustion for the rebels is 653 while he gained none. Drone posted:All this Victoria 2 talk makes me want to boot it up, but I'm not going to invest a massive amount of time into the game only to have the next expansion drop really soon and make me start over. Any idea when V2: Heart of Darkness is being released besides sometime this month/next month? I heard HOD was aimed for a March release but got delayed not long after, i reckon a April release is very likely. BillBear fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Mar 13, 2013 |

And is "New Nations" a suitable mod for a beginner? This may sound like a joke but Haiti is a very fine choice for beginners.

Wolfgang Pauli posted:They were never the same after I wrecked their poo poo in India. I honestly don't know what the gently caress is going on with their navy. They still have like 90 ships out there somewhere, but I'll be hosed if I know where they are. If they can get them together then they can probably wreck the allied fleet (we have something like 200 ships put together, but only maybe 100 of them are near England and they're probably pretty old). Hopefully Wiz's AI changes to HoD are carried over to the navy, because they're not even trying.

 What mods are you running, NEVER seen a rebellion that big even in 1.02 days. You should try stomping that stack with some gas attacks ( if you have it researched).

MM's budget was the size of CK II's at some point right? What the absolute gently caress did they spend the money on? It still has mostly EU 3 sounds and the map looks like something from 1999.

However i suffered far more losses then the allies and I was too slow in conquering France, it took me until early 1941. Also Italy never offered to join me.

Vivian Darkbloom posted:I know this question comes up from time to time, but what are some fun starts in HoD? I'm finding that late game Japan doesn't have much to do, I'm too isolated to start a real world war and whenever I get involved in a crisis I never see any action. If you want world wars nothing beats Prussia > Germany. Enjoy conquering the rest of Europe or die trying.

Noreaus posted:Is it me or are Great Wars a little underwhelming? I like how they tend to graduate from crises, but since it's just a Cut Down To Size CB really (and one with a really low warscore requirement) - It doesn't even include the initial crisis requirement, so the end of the war doesn't have the world-changing dismantling that the First World War had at its end. I at least expected a nation to be forced to dismantle its colonial empire if it lost. There is a Great War mod that greatly increases it. I believe at the end of the war the losers have to give up all colonies, release some countries and dismantle their army. No idea if its being ported to HoD though.

Littlefinger posted:So, how does MotE multiplayer shape up? How long does a campaign take? How does it compare to other Paradox GCs? Could it be used as a middle ground to bring together a bunch of HoI2 and EU3 vets to a common game, or is it a different beast entirely? I really wouldn't call it a grand campaign, its extremely short even on 3 arrows you'll find yourself finishing the game in a few hours.

Kersch posted:I focused on breaking up and putting parts of China into my sphere earlier in the game. Whenever one would break from my sphere or something, the others would declare unification wars on it. Eventually an event fired that reunified the entire country and it shot into great power status. I had already sunk 40+ infamy into China and didn't have anything left to show for it, and I didn't feel like starting over. Granted, I started to ignore infamy near the end, but ehhh. Ah, that sucks dude. I like the Japanese California though, when ever I tried taking it off them I usually got my rear end handed to me very quickly, even during the ACW.
