Having it be something like a peace deal would probably work, "They're willing to back down and give you X, do you accept?" Either say yes, hold out for a better offer or go to war for it all.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:I am really amused that my country's leader dying is not an event or popup or anything in the log on the bottom right. The Shah of Persia was also a commander so suddenly when gearing up for a war he died with no notification that I could see so I had a panic assigning his brigades to new/promoted generals. I can't say I've ever cared about country leaders dying, but there really need to be a popup for generals dying and all their troops going on bereavement leave.

dead gay comedy forums posted:Edit: also this reminds me when fooling around as Lanfang if there's any way to get Qing to build some coal and iron mines. The AI does seem to respond to foreign demand by the player in some way (especially if its exporting) but in that case nothing happens at all I've been doing a Lanfang game as well and the general feeling I've been getting is that if you kickstart a resource in the market the AI will suddenly realise it exists. Like there was no coal in the Qing market until I built some mines, then demand shot up as the AI started using it, so it started building it's own mines to provide for the demand.

Like, is it possible to stop my enemy from receiving troops from someone assisting in the preparation phase? You can’t stop them being sent out but once the war starts convoy raiding can attrition their troops down to bring useless.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:I downloaded a mod to increase base decay from 5 to 7 because infamy values are hosed. Its 15 infamy to take Mauritius and Mahe from England. Two poo poo islands in the Indian ocean that have like 15k people between them. Oh, England colonized a little nub of Equatoria before you finished it off and you want that last little bit? 10 infamy to take it from them. It feels like all the infamy values are assuming incorporated states and there should probably be a discount for taking someone's colonies. It'd be nice to be able to feed territory to subjects too, to make it possible to say puppet a minor on Borneo and then give them the rest of the island.

Gort posted:Looks like the next big patch has an open beta starting next Wednesday Isn't that part of autonomous construction? I think depending on your laws for the investment pool, a proportion of your construction points are taken and used autonomously instead of what you put into the queue. So you'll still be building stuff but not having to manually manage thousands of construction.

Green Wing posted:Does anybody else have an issuie where they're fighting a war as an ally, they're not losing, and then it says "The following wargoals were forced on [player nation]: blank", and then it's like you've white peaced out of the war? That's your war support hitting -100. I'm not exactly sure how it works, but it seem like nations with no wargoals against them are usually pretty easy to peace out that way. I think because they never get stuck at 0 war support because some goal isn't being enforced? It can just be a little confusing because the war icon in your case will show your ally's war support, you need to go to make peace and check the non-negotiating participants to see yours.

I do wish this could be part of diplomatic plays, being able to see how the wargoals I'm adding will affect what makes war support drop below 0 for specific people involved in the play. It feels weird that adding war reparations can sometimes let a nation fight a hellwar until their capital is occupied and I'm never sure if it will or not.

Freedom of conscience means similar religions aren't discriminated, so a Catholic country won't discriminate against Protestants but still will against completely different like Animism and I think Islam as well, so that'll be discriminating against your African pops.

Vivian Darkbloom posted:When I set my production methods to use iron, tools, or coal the autonomous investment usually develops these industries even if I don't put government construction on them. So does the AI just ignore those production methods and never invest in those basic industries? I think the problem the AI runs into is that iron is expensive, so the AI doesn't switch to iron tools, so there's not much demand for iron so the AI doesn't build iron, so iron is expensive... I've seen it late game with stuff like phones. The AI isn't building them so there's no demand for them in the marker so they don't build them until I trade some of my excess in and then there's sudden demand for like 800 phones.

Conscripts don't work at all right now since that system's changing. I tried building some artillery and I think I had it work with one army group, while for all the others it just built the barracks then didn't recruit anyone. The beta looks interesting but it's very rough around the edges to actually play - I poked around a little but I'm waiting for the second beta version to actually put some time into.

guidoanselmi posted:Mine crashed on me after a few hours last nite. Conscription doesn’t seem to work, like I don’t even see options for it. Also upgrading (at least naval) units doesn’t seem to work either. Curious what the optimal composition of infantry, artillery, and cavalry is if anyones tried any experiments? I’ve had the occasional crash in it too, though it’s stable enough to play. There’s no conscripts at the moment until they’re reworked and upgrading units should be in the next beta patch version. That’s the one that hurts right now; you’ve got to demolish and rebuild all your barracks if you want better troops, though at least the AI’s in the same boat.

Gort posted:Yeah, it definitely needs performance optimisation still. In the early game, the game runs quickly, and you have loads to do - pass worthwhile laws, industrialise, and so on. In the late game, the game runs slowly, and you don't have much to do except very occasionally pick a new tech to research and wait for your infamy to tick down so you can conquer a bit more territory. This is the big killer. My PC’s showing it’s age but the first third of the game runs well with lots to do, then it starts grinding through the second third as I run out of stuff to do and I’ve never made it far past 1900 because of the slowdown.

Has anyone else had problems with wars not ending when the other side’s at -100 war support and fully occupied? I had that in a civil war as Persia and I’m getting it conquering Sindh as Sikh Empire. In the Persia war Russia joined against me and it only ended when they gave up, they weren’t asking for a war goal. In the Sikh one Britain’s joined against me for nothing and it feels like I’m going to be stuck waiting them out too.

The trick is demand reparations + conquer some bullshit island. The AI won’t defend it so occupation should be easy and then they can tick negative. If you don’t even take the island in the peace deal you can repeat it in other wars. It’s hand if a GP keeps attacking you and you just want to punch cash out of them

I started off eating all the other Algerian minors before France got its claws into them then built up a bit to attack Morocco. The luck came in with north Germany actually forming and me spotting a unification play vs France just as it started. I was able to make my own play for all the French land at the same time and just snatch it - the French had no troops spare to send down and oppose me.

Something I’ve noticed in my last few games is the trade unions never getting above marginalised. It feels like being marginalised stops them from joining any political parties so they never gain bonus influence from votes so they never rise above marginalised and get stuck down there. Even bolstering I can’t really get their influence up enough for them to be a thing, even when they have 4x the population of all my other interest groups.
