These past few days have been quite productive for me and I think I'll release the minimod with in the coming days.

I've also added a decision and event for the Annexation of Santo Domingo which very nearly happened.
But aside from small flavor events I've finished renaming and fixing the positions for every province that I've changed in the minimod.
>>121643319
Yes it's possible, but it lasts a very long time. IIRC HPM has mentioned changing the way units form from soldier pops so smaller nations like these can have something to fight with in a war.

Is there a better way to do it now? I remember a while ago through controlling North and South America alone Spain could bring in thousands a month in trade income.

>>121646679
I'm assuming it was done for balance purposes (each state has a limit of civilian, naval and military factories it can have so having one state instead of six reduces the number of factories especially as New England isn't overly populous) and the in-game states don't actually respond to real world states in their purpose or creation or anything anyway aside from being equivalent hierarchical markers so I don't actually give a shit that some states were merged (desu didn't even notice WV was missing) but BUT THE FUCK are some states outlines red and others blue, green, yellow or orange? What the fuck is the point of that, to make already visually non-appealing game look as ugly as it possibly can?
>>121653338
I don't know anon. Maybe I'm missing something here but the massive mana and monetary investments required to take and maintain India don't really seem worth it without that trade monies.
It seems ridiculous that one could control such vast amounts of trade and not be rolling in ducats.

There's usually an awful lot of russians over there, why would they?
I'm having trouble understanding army composition in CK2. When I started, the friend that recommended the game told me to just stack LI/Archer retinues and pay attention to defensive bonuses. However I just lost a fight with superior numbers, 3 20-23 leaders, and being on the defensive by a landslide. After that I did more research into how army composition works, but everyone seems to have a wildly different opinion on it. Given that I'm Norse with Housecarl cultural building, am I correct in assuming a mix of skirmish and housecarl retinues would work best for me?
Also, something I couldn't find a recent/relevant answer on, is there any way to convert an enemy character/country's religion? I want to conquer the Christians, but I want to make Ireland into my own pet nation, and keep them around. This would make a lot more sense thematically if I could somehow convert them to Germanic Paganism.

>>121653968
I just tested it and yes you are correct. Is that a new thing? My GB was four or five months ago and I remember paying admin mana out the nose for those provinces.
>>121654303
Like the post says, I just lost a battle with everything in my favor by quite a bit, aside from army composition. At least I assume, because that's the factor in combat I was told to ignore. I get that losing battles happens, but when battles like these happen more than once, you have to assume something's incorrect about the way you're playing. The Battle of Cannae should not be an often reproduction.

I think it is. IIRC it used to be the other way around with oversees provinces more expensive to core than provinces on your continent, which makes total sense. Why they changed it is beyond me.

Peru's immigration is fucking garbage for like the entire game even if you get democracy early, dunno why. And securing a port in range of Africa and upgrading it before the entire continent is already gone from that position is impossible. Basically you're just fucked.

>>121656934

>>121657881
gateway to harbour is a generic province boost in game it shows up as gateway to a new land, the only thing off the top of my head its used for is valparaiso harbour in chile.
gateway to america to a province boost for new york
province boosts don't actually draw more immigrants, just dictate where they go. the homestead act and statue of liberty are pretty strong though.
>>121656750
Yeah, but other south american countries tend to do much better immigration. Colombia for example gets a fucking ton at least in hpm (easily 15k+ a day by the end of the game)
>>121657881
Don't know how to feel about the modifiers. I guess I think they might be a case of negative railroading? Historically people came to the USA the most because of the massive and constantly expanding industry, better salaries than in Europe, and promise of all the land they could ever want/need without any feudal obligations (Austria, Russia, Ottomans all remained psuedo feudal and landed aristocracy remained important in all other countries as well).
I feel like modeling all those and then, for those that are fulfilled, giving US immigrant attraction events/decisions would be a better thing than going backwards from the initial position being "well the US will receive the most immigrants)
So how do you actually get in colonial range of Africa before it's all gone from South America, if you're not playing Brazil or maybe Venezuela?
By the time I can get a port upgraded enough, the only provinces left are only still there because the dark continent isn't researchable yet.

Yeah, I didn't know about what exactly those first two did, thanks.
I myself don't like how immigration works to the americas, so I was fiddlingwith the modifiers and whatnot so I tried to make German and Italian unification actually give an immigration push, also doing the same with great wars and retroactively nerfing these modifiers for the US, wanna test this shit and see what exactly happens.
>>121658526
Biggest problem as a player I find in playing in SA is that you'll mostly have negative mil and con, so you're never passing reforms and the USA pretty much suck them all up. Uruguay usually tends to get a lot of immigrants though, as does Argentina at some points, Canada, but the never get close enough to their historical demographics

It's a long story as to any I can't access poal.me but can somebody tell me who won? RF when?
HPM, I puppeted a proletariat dictatorship as a constitutional monarchy and they became a democracy rather than a CM, is this intentional?
Also, add events for a sphere master who reigns over a much weaker sphere member to puppet them, with the chance of it going wrong and you losing them as sphere ofc.
>>121655782
overseas provinces can't go below something like 75% autonomy, so paying 200 mana to core a single province that will give you no tax, production or manpower is silly
>>121659042
The trick to democratising a country in the Americas is never pass any reforms, eventually people will get pissed off enough to form Jacobins and then you'll get the vast majority of the reforms at once, plus you'll be a democracy, plus your pops will still be angry from the revolution so you'll be able to enact the last few reforms. It's well worth the prestige hit for all those sweet poles.
>>121655782
Cores in EU4 are not like cores in every other game, you need cores or you get OE, get 100 OE and you autodie, meaning that shitty little island off the coast of Alaska isn't cored? Boy, you'd better repent.

I swear though that game's combat is fucked as all hell, I was defending Memel as Prussia, equal units numbers, had 3 military ideas completed and a two star general, still fucking lost even with the -1 river penalty to the opponents, it's really fucking stupid. Not to mention manpower is bullshit.
>>121662672
You seem overly protective of such a shitty mechanic.
>>121662283
Don't worry senpai, changed it back
>>121662672
I think you might need to calm down bud
>>121662672HE'S GUNNA GET IN THE RING AND PUT BOOTS TO ASSES
>>121662765
The combat can be somewhat arcane at times, I'll give you that.
That sounds like it was a while ago though, nowdays your situation would probably be even worse because while Prussian ideas make their military almost unbeatable in normal situations the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth has become a divine incarnation of distilled Fuck You.
Do you remember if you were lagging up on tech? The biggest flaw of the game is that tech system has this anti-synergy where investing in idea groups leads to you inevitably lagging behind in the actual tech progression. That means investing heavily in military idea groups inevitably lead to your military becoming outdated unless you know what you're doing.

>>121663223
That's the thing, I was way ahead in tech all game because I wasn't annexing territory like a madman, I just got nice Prussian claw borders and left it so Ididn't need to spend ADM/dip/mil on expansion
>>121663348
The new core system is just a clusterfuck from start to finish, EUIII was fine and they tried to fix what wasn't broken and broke it into a such tiny pieces they aren't even sure how to begin putting it back together.
>>121663438
Yeah, alright then, that was the combat system being goddamn obtuse.
I never really quite liked the idea of dice rolls being used to decide combat.

Are you kidding me m8? There's geheimnisnacht for CK2. It's pretty baller.
Playing as a Tzeentchian made me discover all those new fetishes.
>>121663776
It's fine in Vicky when the majority of combat is based on the modifiers but in EU4 it's absolute trash.
Like, the enemy can routinely defeat double of your units but if you even think of entering a battle with less than them you're fucking dead, it seems arbitrarily skewed towards the AI, that may be confirmation bias on my part though, I haven't played much of it because every time I do it's a big pile of steaming cancerous bull shit.
>>121664110
I mean a Slaaneshi.
>>121663959
No, fuck your son instead, he wants you, you can see how affectionate he is towards you but you never reciprocate, are you afraid you might start feeling something too?
>>121664187
I too have the distinct feel that player troops are woefully underpowered, at least in the early game. But for whatever it is worth, Wiz ~swears~ that the AI does not cheat in combat.
But then again I once started a Hansa game and was just stackwiping literally everything I touched within 50 or so years of game start because the amount of morale modifiers you could stack was absolutely ridiculous, so what do I know.
>>121663959
>>121664314
Lad...
>>121664419
Moral is also total bullshit, how do you get it? Also, a stack of 5k shouldn't be able to beat 10k just because the 10k ain't had pussy in a while, I don't even know why moral is a thing.
>>121664521
Shove him back up, it was his dying wish.
>>121664419
>Wiz ~swears~ that the AI does not cheat in combat.
Well except for the OP generals, which are impossible for the player to get once you hit miltech 14 and sieging all those obsolete forts bring you no military trad at all.
>>121640658
Things are going well enough here. The Persian Empire got roflstomped by Seljuk and friends, and broke up rather quickly while the Abbasids are starting to get their shit together in Egypt and the Levant.
>Not shown: Karling England, Sweden and Norway finally converting to Catholicism
On a side note, it is clear this Empire is no longer Norse. What should I call it now?
>>121664617
Basically by being a Reformed Merchant Republic with Plutocratic Ideas [I believe], which leads to you causing the opposing forces to melt as if they were paper.
Don't get me wrong, it DIDN'T allow a 5k force to beat back 10k [at least as far as I recall], but even being able to consistently win battles without crippling losses was already something I saw as an accomplishment.
>>121664981
Lucky Nations receiving free general pips is just ridiculous.
>>121665102
The concept of lucky nations is just ridiculous. It is just straight up saying their games are too fucked to grow anything like the real world without giving a push to what should already be overpowered nations.
>>121664521
Since Scotland has the best retinues in the game i'm just going to make an army of them
>>121664756
Is everything alright over there lad?
>>121665102
Also another thing I really hate about EU4 combat (I should write a book) is that too many generals cost mana, what? So you're telling me that having more generals than you arbitrarily say I should means I should tech up slower? Yeah, who remembers how shit Prussia's troops were due to so many generals?
And what's the deal with airline food?
>>121665347
s-shut up, y-you don't know me!
Il est pour la France de gouverner le monde !
>>121665339
That said, playing with that setting turned to Off still allows said nations to perform more or less like you'd expect them to. Haven't turned it on in months and I feel no difference.
Not to worry though, Revanchism is coming to ruin everything by allowing the Ottomans to enjoy ludicrous combat and economy bonuses after you bleed yourself dry in a war trying to wrestle Greece from them.
>>121665439
This is a hold up from EUIII's days, general recruitment mechanics in truth never quite made sense. Generals shouldn't be "recruitable", you should just always have a constant number of generals available whole quality is largely dependent on things such as military tradition. Not pay a fee [either in money or whatever points you might choose] and have a fully formed military officer magically appear.
>>121665754
I wish there was a slider for it, >le bring back slider army represent, so you could just put the slider where you wanted for good generals who'd shit out every so often, the more you spend the better and more frequently you get generals, the less you spend the fewer and less frequent they'd be.
It's have to cost a bomb so people didn't just 100% it at all times though, this sort of system would fix shit tier nations from having demi gods.

You should make Quebec one state, not 2. There's no rationale for North Quebec being a thing
>>121642857
Far too late desu lad but did you ever make the British border in Canada look less right angley? I know you fixed it so the border starts where the forts were but it had a massive valley in western Alberta.

It's a very seperate place from southern Quebec and only a part of Quebec because of political jockeying, IMO it should be merged with Northern Ontario as Rupert's Land.
>>121669030
>>121668294
It's fine the way it is, yah idiots. Combining both would make the state too big, just like combining the North with Ontario would make the state too big.

What's going on with the SGF here? They've existed for 20 years or so yet they've never made a single soldier.

What even is that? I once did a Zoro game and blobbed across all ancient Persian clay and not once did I get a great holy war. I had to do it duchy by fucking duchy.
>>121672580
Switch to them and see if their market is completely dry.

I'll clean the border up when my Infamy is down, senpai.
>>121672849
>maybe there is a huge war going on and the 18 powers ahead are suck them all dry? It happens sometimes
They haven't made a single soldier for 20 whole years though. Poznan (the red cunt in Poland) is in the same position.
It's not because of Austria-Hungary's sphere either, they've been out of the sphere a few times and they still haven't made any.
>>121672901
You get great holy wars (aka crusades for everyone else) after crusades unlock. Every 20 years and new ruler you can declare for a kingdom.
>>121673038
Looks like their stockpile is completely fucked, but that doesn't make much sense either. They're at #23, surely they'd be able to get at least something within 20 years.
>>121673067
You can't clean those horrible borders faggot. The Rhine is not French. Neither are the low counties.
You are no better than Germany blobbers.

It is weird that their government has military needs being supplied. Maybe something fucked up during unification and it thinks that there are still troops from pre unification? Have they been in a war?
>>121673238

Nope
All of Europe is rightful French clay

France looks like shit with the Rhine, Hexagone or bust.
I'm currently working on converting my CK2 game to EU4. I'm done fixing up the borders for the most part (I need to convert some of the Muslim and Indian countries to their vanilla tags), now I am just finishing up religions and cultures. However, I've run into a problem while using the Clausewitz Scenario Editor. I hadn't had any problems until now, after which whenever I try to change religion of a province it becomes noreligion. I've checked spelling and spacing and they are the exact same as any other provinces that are fine, yet for some reason they are coming up as noreligion. Any fixes?
>>121673783
That Prussia is straight up disgusting
So I fucked around a bit and found out that they've had these 28 regiments under construction for decades because for some reason the AI for their automatic stockpile purchases thought that they didn't need anything at all so their AI never bought anything.
I manually set the stockpile purchases and it worked just fine.
The worst thing is that this isn't just affecting the SGF. Several other countries are fucked too, including the CSA.
It seems like something is breaking anytime a country gets released or is formed, but it only happens sometimes because the NGF is working fine.
What's breaking and how do I fix it? Using HPM to clarify.
>>121674073
The only thing that isn't disgusting there is the UK

>>121674438
Yeah fair enough. The UK and Portugal then.
>>121674049
Here are the cultures in Europe. Still some minor fixes here and there to do. Also, it appears that not only are religions messing up, but any other change I make as well (cores, cultures, etc.)
Was Switzerland actually a part of France at this time?
