Lads I need help.

Playing as Mexico, managed to take back all my cores from the US and force them to release the Cherokee, New England, and Columbia.

They still have a way bigger population than mine, and their army buildup is scaring me. They currently have ~80 brigades to my 55, and I'm pretty sure they'll have 200+ to my ~130 when we both mobilize. I know they're going to try to take back their cores soon. Do the US get specific immigration events or something?

It's actually pretty good tbf, lad. The 6 stars represent the 6 points of the people's charter.

>The People's Charter called for six reforms to make the political system more democratic:

>A vote for every man twenty-one years of age, of sound mind, and not undergoing punishment for a crime.
>The Secret Ballot – To protect the elector in the exercise of his vote.
>No Property Qualification for Members of Parliament – thus enabling the constituencies to return the man of their choice, be he rich or poor.
>Payment of Members, thus enabling an honest trades-man, working man, or other person, to serve a constituency; when taken from his business to attend to the interests of the country.
>Equal Constituencies, securing the same amount of representation for the same number of electors, instead of allowing small constituencies to swamp the votes of large ones.
>Annual Parliament Elections, thus presenting the most effectual check to bribery and intimidation, since as the constituency might be bought once in seven years (even with the ballot), no purse could buy a constituency (under a system of universal suffrage) in each ensuing twelvemonth; and since members, when elected for a year only, would not be able to defy and betray their constituents as now.

I'm playing Austria in Victoria 2 (HPM) and I'm planning on forming Germany (and therefore on releasing all of my non-core territories). Is it worth building factories in these territories early on?
>>
>>121263443
The starting dukes are sort of all ass in Ireland. That will happen a lot. Generally speaking factions won't bother you much as a small country, so focus on getting kids and allies to ward off the scot
>>
>>121262314
After beating up Russia I often see Sweden retaking it's cores and freeing and then annexing Finland only to abandon claims. Shouldn't there be some check so they can't do it when they own Finnish cores? Further, Åland shouldn't be affected by the abandon decision at all and should instead be based around https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%85land_crisis where you can press or give up claims.

>>
>>121263686
Faction members can be dissuaded by using your Spymaster on the, iirc, Scheme mission in thier capital. A good spymaster will keep everyone out, though once you get big enough it's best to focus on superdukes and other such big vassals.

Ireland IS tutorial island, in the sense that it's typically hard to get completely facerolled. Most people don't bother Ireland much, so it's a good place to get grips on the mechanics of the game and make your first kingdom. You'll get the hand of it.

>>
>>121263976
I've found you'll usually get a revolt early game, and generally one every new ruler you go on as the New Ruler opinion malus pisses everyone off.

Fighting a less than fun war can also cause vassal revolts, especially with factions. A good part of their decision making is based on comparisons of their cumulative levy vs yours. If your whole levy is destroyed, expect trouble.

>>121264060
When having Austria in your sphere when you form Germany there's an event for them where they can join you with their entire empire for 40 infamy. The chance of them taking that option is very low though. There's an event for you as Austria or KuK that triggers if you are in a position to form Germany and still have non-cores. I haven't done it but I imagine it would be similar to the first.
>>
>>121264261
Indeed, Thermopylae can be repeated with modern weaponry.
>>
>>121264060
Why would you? Building no factories would leave thousands of educated, unemployed craftsmen and clerks on Hungary and other uncored provinces. This will force them to migrate to Austria propper, which means you'll have a far more industrialized Österreich, capable of competing industrially with the rest of the German states. Overall, by doing this, Austria will be more densely populated and educated.
>>
>>121264351
Unfortunately a lot of it can boil down to this. It depends a lot on how strong your neighbours are. Make sure to pay attention to when they're fighting wars, and if they can win them.
If you haven't seen it already, the character screen will show you their levy, and a breakdown of how much is theirs and how much is their vassals. Picking on new rulers can be useful since they get less troops, especially if they have low martial. Lots of things to consider.

People need to recognize one thing about HoI3's Black Ice mod.

It's not completely shit. It's mostly shit, but there are some very interesting unique mechanics that should be Incorporated a mod like HPP.

1. The unique divisional build system that allows for more varied, interesting divisional units that more closely resemble their real life counterparts.

2. A more comprehensive tech and unit makeup, albeit with a need for some greater trade offs built in that force players to make real choices.

These things above should be incorporated into HPP, as well as updated versions of Francesco's models.

Then all we would need is additional strategic military, economic, and political decisions tailored to major and semi-major nations with potential for branching, dynamic paths. Keep in mind by this I do not mean utter sandbox, but paths that have been considered and discussed and formulated through well-researched histories and analyses.

With this, we would have the ultimate hearts of iron game.

what are you? fucking autistic?
1) turkey is fucking stronger than greece
2) there is no kurdish genocide unless you believe that pkk communist propaganda, there has been 2 kurdish PMs in turkish history
3) "turkey is not recognized as islamic religion by arabs" even though it was the last legitimate caliphate for the last decades
4) greece never destroyed the ottoman empire (uk, russia and france did) and turkey won much more wars against greece than is mentioned in that autistic video (greco-turkish war of 1897, turkish war of independence (even though the video says it was a "turkish defeat"))
5) the video says turkey always attacks at greece's weakest moments even though in 1919 greece invaded turkey (who was getting divided by colonial powers, had a terrible food crisis, was fighting armenia, france and various revolts at the same time) and still got their ass handed to them
6) greece would never push that far into turkey! have any of you autists ever been to turkey? an army like greece's pushing into central anatolia will just be like anyone attacking siberia in the fucking winter
7) "the turkish police wear the double-head eangle". the idiots didn't even spell eagle right but the double-headed eagle the turkish police use is the seljuk eagle.
i can't stand watching the rest of that autistic video without fucking cringing but you autists need to realize something. BYZANTINES WILL NEVER RETURN! greece is running by fucking communists and can't even pay fucking debts. so get leave your autistic dreams to your games and stop crying over a shitty empire that has been dead for ages now

It was a great power Sar. who held Lombardy and fired the decision that gave them that one northern state from the Pope, Tuscany, and that one state divided by 2 Austrian spherelings, Emily I think. They then took a few years to sphere Two Sicilies and the Pope. The entire time Tuscany's cores remained. I think it was an event fired from Itaty uniting that deleted the cores, but it fired immediately, not letting an outside power use the free people CB they get.

>>121270812
Explain why it's a shit flag.

These are the specifications for a good flag:

>Keep It Simple. The flag should be so simple that a child can draw it from memory…
[]

>Use Meaningful Symbolism. The flag’s images, colors, or patterns should relate to what it symbolizes…
[]

>Use 2 or 3 Basic Colors. Limit the number of colors on the flag to three which contrast well and come from the standard color set…
[]

>No Lettering or Seals. Never use writing on any kind or an organization’s seal…
[]

>Be Distinctive or Be Related. Avoid duplicating other flags, but use similarities to show connections…
[]


Please explain to me what is bad about this flag. It's not meant to be a union jack, it's meant to be a new flag of a new government that has nothing to do with the old one.
>>
>>121271216
It's not meant to look English, if it looked English it would look like the old order's flag, that is exactly what chartists wanted an end to. The six points represent the six points of the charter, the colours were used by the chartists, it's a good flag.

By the way, I thought of a way you can make a two party system, at least in the US.

Make all the states that historically voted republican (the north) start with a shit tonne of loyalty to them and make all the states that historically voted democrat (the south) start with a shit tonne of loyalty to them.

Also, the South should get events that massively increase reactionary loyalty (Southern Democrats) from 1850 onwards.

The problem with this is that it'll cause the Civil War political structure to look vastly different than it should unless additional events are added in.

I agree it should be done, but you'll need to do an event for the '40s which knocks up jingoism (either that or add a 5% increase to jingoism for Yankees and a 10% increase to jingoism for Dixies when the M-A war starts) and probably an event for the early '50s which starts turning most Dixie and Texan POPs strongly reactionary, as the other anon suggested. The South was so reactionary before the Union collapsed it was ludicrous, and already that's not well-represented.

>>121275426
I don't think they should have party loyalty after the start. The loyalty should fade gradually and should shift to voting based on ideology, as is usual for the Vicky engine. If it's kept based on loyalty throughout the entire game, it's much less subject to any partial divergence.

The only thing that would really need to be done to keep America in a state of flux and uncertainty--which is what the political situation was from '44-'60--is the general increase in expansionist (especially Southern expansionist) tendencies and the push to keep slavery. National jingoism bonuses in the '40s and huge reactionary boosts to Dixie pops in the '50s can simulate that fine, and then after that POP ideologies can be left to circumstance again.
>>
>>121275619
I don't think a single event in the '40s and a single event in the '50s related to ideology is quite equivalent to the current event spam that is Wickedness, anon.

It's just party loyalty. Wouldn't affect ideology much.
About the issues, I know it's something complicated. The way paradox does it to avoid a fixed date for the ACW is the event spam. It also regulates and distributes moralism. It works, but it's spammy. The only thing keeping me from scrapping the current system and doing a new one is that I didn't come up with a satisfactory solution for all these problems that don't involve event spam or a bomb of moralism/jingoism in one event.

I don't think there is another way, unless you just set it by date and let the ideology be damned. Hell, even the ideology-bombs have their own issues, as their firing, at least, will be set by date. And since it'd all come in one clump, it'd probably interfere with a "natural" Civil War anyway.

I don't know. It's a difficult question. The best way to do it, especially considering the eventual 1815 start, would likely be a combination of situation AND ideology. The Civil War started for a variety of reasons, but the most important was the perception that the South was being "hemmed in," both territorially and politically. Whether the Mexican-American war happened, and whether those states were made slave states, would have a major bearing on tensions in the South. So too would the outcome of the Missouri Compromise, the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska act. and the victory or failure of the Republican party.

Perhaps a moderate solution could be made, and ideological changes could be bound alongside major policy decisions/events in America. Passage of the Missouri Compromise would reduce militancy in the South but increase Dixie conservative/reactionary support simultaneously. Annexation of the Mexican territories would reduce militancy and make reactionary Dixies more conservative (reduce their extremism). Hmm. I don't know how ideal that would be, either, but it would reduce the total number of events and reduce ideological changes which could precipitate the war to actual historical events which affected the tenor of the times.

Since I have that puppet Rhineland, the NGF couldn't form. So German Patriots have been rising up for years now. Baden and the other S. German state had been under rebel occupation for nearly a decade, so I sphered all three, gave the land to Bavaria, then let Austria-Hungary and Prussia fight over it. I reasoned that since there was no German federation to become a part of, the rebels might have wanted a southern one with Bavaria.

>1. The unique divisional build system that allows for more varied, interesting divisional units that more closely resemble their real life counterparts.

No this is retarded, because the Combined Arms system forces you to make stupid shit just because it gives combined arms. e.g. putting fucking marines in every division, even ones that aren't going to be doing anything near rivers or water, just because it boosts the stats of EVERYTHING in the division by 15% or something.

>2. A more comprehensive tech and unit makeup, albeit with a need for some greater trade offs built in that force players to make real choices.

I recently came back to CK2 after not playing it for years but I can't help but notice that the game runs absolutely awful now. It always slowed down after playing for a few hundred years but that stuttery slowdown is already here at the start of the game now. I dread to think what it would be like later.

Are there any settings or mods that help with this or is my only option getting a better computer?

I don't like it but also don't hate it. But by far the most diverse, realistic and immersive portrait mod is CPR+. Even the Tocharians get their own portraits and skin color.

So it's signed by him? Yeah, that's a really big achievement. Except it fucking isn't, his entire life was whining about being fuhrer, he had lots of time to scribble.

Alright, I will take a look.

Maybe I will use major events like Brown's last raid to set up a thermometer. As time passes and the situation evolves, they fire until after the last one fires they are on the tipping point, only waiting for the war to break out.

In any case, here are some games I already have:

System Shock 2
NALS7*1A5CFBB3341L

Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena
HPMA781A*CFBB334GK

Both asterisks are a single number. Both games are on GOG.
