Reminder that SteIIaris has its own general and discussion of the game doesn't go here. Thank you.

We don't have an official steam or discord group. If anyone posts in the thread about any "official" or not steam or discord groups, promising MP or not, be sure it's a shitposter group known for organizing raids and shitposting in the thread. They are known for false-flagging.
Report and ignore it.

How fares your empire, /gsg/?

This day in history, July 14th:
1789 – French Revolution: Citizens of Paris storm the Bastille.
1790 – French Revolution: Citizens of Paris celebrate the unity of the French people and the national reconciliation in the Fête de la Fédération.
1933 – The Nazi eugenics begins with the proclamation of the Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring that calls for the compulsory sterilization of any citizen who suffers from alleged genetic disorders.

honestly why are we having such a spergout over Darkest Hour not being in the top part of the info pic? I agree that it's probably more popular than EU Rome (who even plays that dead game?) but even in the info pics without it they still include Kaiserreich in the mods area which, lets be honest, is 80% why people still even play with the other 20% being other mods.

True, but if we're being honest vanilla Darkest Hour shouldn't be included either. Why don't we just prune the bottom two game positions and put them in Misc + Oddities, Distant Worlds isn't posted much here anymore (pretty sure the stellaris/civ/4x thread is where they mostly post now) and Darkest Hour only gets veteran players wanting to try a different grand strat game or through watching someone else playing anymore. That and I can't ever recall seeing someone posting EU Rome here any time I've browsed gsg. Would nullify this stupid argument while still keeping info on all three games in the pic.

Personally I'd agree with you, although I do think Darkest Hour is definitely fading away as your new gamers first WW2 grand strat choice and you only really see people post DH here if they're playing mods.

HOI3 yes, but HoI4 is even easier for a newcomer to access. Darkest Hour has remained popular until now because HOI3 was so complex and because it has some fantastic mods. With the advent of HOI4 it's lost one of its big advantages and only has mods going for it.
>>148481485
while I personally agree 100% I also recognize that the game is getting old and is losing much of its reasoning for staying relatively popular. In general I think it's going to become a game mainly still played because of mods like midieval total war.
you're right about totally updating the infopic though, I'm pretty sure not a single one of the EU4 mods in there is up to date

HoI4 isnt better than DH, even if both had same quality of mods. This shit happened once EU4 came out and we wont let Paracucks take out DH from OP.

I make the DH threads, and I'm not part of these fucking groups. Not everything is just black and white, some people like me are tired of both these fucking autists who want to control the thread and the steamgroup shitposters who just want to destroy it. Both are equally fucking bad.

>>148482632
HoI4 is way better than DH.

He's completely right, DH only has mods going for it. This will soon change that as the KR devs already moved to HoI4.

And furthermore, that looks like, what, 7 guys? Yeah what a huge threat.
If it truly were only a few people shitting this place up, there would be no problem because they would have gone away by now. This is just all so bizarre.

if you bothered to read my posts you would notice I wanted to place Distant Worlds, Darkest Hour, and EU Rome into the Other section of the infopic and cut out the buttom row of major games because all three are more rarely posted. Darkest Hour is one of my personal favorites but its definitely being eclipsed particularly due to HoI undercutting one of its major selling points being easier to play than HoI3, in addition if you notice almost anytime someone posts a DH game playthrough here its with a mod.
I'd also add I would like the infopic to have an overall in general since portions of it are highly outdated. As I noted I'm pretty sure not a single EU4 mod on there is up to date.

I tested the cb_types file uploaded by an anon in the last thread, and while it has successfully modified holy wars (although not crusades) so that Messalians can declare them on any Christian group and all Christian groups can likewise declare them on Messalians, I'm experiencing some weird behavior where rulers who should be able to call holy wars on Messalian leaders don't have the CB available, although I'm not sure if that's just me missing something.

Anyway, for those who aren't aware I've been trying to modify the HIP versions of the Holy War and Crusade CBs so all Christian sects and heresies can declare them against Messalians and vice-versa, to help make the AAR more challenging. I've been having serious trouble, though, as have the anons who have been trying to help me, and I could use any help I can get.

Here's a .rar with the files I have right now. The first is an anon's modified (basegame) cb_types files, which allowed Messalians to declare holy wars and crusades and vice-versa with other Christians; the only issue with this file is that other Christians also called Crusades on each other, which I didn't like, but the file couldn't be used anyway because HIP makes major changes to the cb_types file. The second file is the second anon's work patching in the first anon's conditions (to the religious CB *ONLY*), which seems to have worked plus/minus the odd behavior with declarations I've been seeing. The third file is an unedited version of my HIP cb_types file, in case it's needed:

https://mega.nz/#!FIJyDTAA!Hs9B09d-Kzl0nICmJ07fS7sb2q9Kg3asQTztMPlx078

It goes without saying I really need help and I'd appreciate any that I get with the Crusade CB. I just need for all Christians to be able to call Crusades on all Messalian targets WITHOUT being able to call Crusades on any other Christians, and for Messalians to be able to call Crusades on all other Christians.

Alright, so I'm thinking of starting a new run in CK2Plus. I've narrowed it down to three ideas.

1) Play as the Khanty steppe people, migrate my tribe to Europe and settle Hungarian-style
2) Play as a Coptic tribe in Abyssinia/Nubia, reform into a Republic and conquer East Africa and the Levant
3) Play as a minor Muslim sheikh or emir in Persia, convert to Nestorianism and make a Christian Persian empire

Which sounds best?
>>
>>148487060
There were more exclaves at different times. It's pretty bad in CK2, but they shouldn't be outright removed.

Maybe it should depend on the government types, where you need to be a more civilized government type (feudal, republic, imperial, theocracy) to function with disconnected territory whereas tribes and nomads need to be more consistently connected. (nomads especially needing a land connection)
>>
>>148487554
1) though all involved Christianity and sound boring as fuck because of that
>>
>>148486770
The file data or the CB tinkering updates? I could for either, I suppose, but I was hoping this would be the final time I'd need help.

>>148486886
It would, yes, but it would also give a wider opinion malus and would prevent intermarriage without an additional file edit. While that's not a big deal, I think there are also hardcoded harsher maluses to interfaith marriage even if it's enabled, and if that's the case it's absolutely a no-go.

I want it to be possible for Christians and Messalians to work together, I just also want it to be possible for them to hate each other. Some rulers will view it like a noble heresy, like Orthodoxy is to Catholicism, while others (such as the Pope) will view it as literal Satanism and try to wipe it out.
>>
>>148487554
I would do 1, but only if you'd be willing to keep a faith that isn't Christian, or if you'd be converting to a Catholic heresy as soon as you're settled and stable. Otherwise that campaign would get boring the moment you went feudal.

Otherwise do 3.

what I like from EU4 is that you have a lot of buildings to choose, while in Vicky 2 you only have four types of buildings, the forts, naval bases, railroads and factories.

Also Victoria 2 lacks some of the trade mechanics that EU4 has.

I'd like Victoria 2 to give you more options regarding your economy, like having trade partners(you already can do that if you are a GP or are sphered, but I'd like it to be more specific)

Also it'd be nice if you could decide what your RGOs produce, based on a list of possible productions

I remember a game as China in Vicky 2 where I defeated all the rebellions and crap, and by 1910 I had like 90% literacy. I was getting close to the 1 billion pops too. It totally fucked up the game economy, and I was having emigration in the 20k mark. I had like 15k industrial score, so everything was cheap because because there was too much supply. At the end I invaded Latin America because they had too much empty arable land, which my people really needed.

I guess it was the most interesting Vicky 2 game I had.

Imagine if every province had a soil fertility value, and a mineral resource value. And you could have two separate RGOs for that province, one for agriculture and other for mining. And you could encourage different crops based on the fertility of that soil.

I don't think it's even that difficult to do, but Paraducks would have to do some research, and they are too lazy for that.
