>>122510945
Italians "dialects" are unintelligible between each other, they are basically languages
Cultures in each swiss canton, as in each italian region, are radically different from each other. Instead of making a culture for each province you get a blanket term for them all but that still bounds them together
>>122511461
That's what accepted pops are
Are Wiz and Johan fucking retarded?
After finishing my first complete game of EU4 (after several attempts of trudging through the horrible mana system), I have come to the conclusion that the folks at Paradox must suffer from some sort of mental handicap, which makes me wish the eugenics laws of Sweden were still in effect.
Even worst than the mana system is the fixed culture bonuses, which severely diminish replay value and strongly limits viable play styles. If you want to play as a military Hansa, forget it. Unless you invest in defensive focus and get the moral boost, you wont stand a chance against the French which can easily get +45% moral boost (French ideas + defensive focus + adviser). I understand what they are going for: a multiplayer-focused GSG, where the unique ideas would provide players with nation choices, not unlike AoE2. The main problem is that AoE2 gets random maps and players every single time. On the other hand, EU4 -- with its simulator roots -- is stuck with the good ol' map of the world, with nations starting in their accurate respective positions. That means the player is railroaded into a single build that only diverts due to external factors and RNG depending on the nation of choice. Have you chosen the Portuguese? Colonization is the only viable route for you, unless you want to be crushed by your stronger, more numerous continental rivals. It's impossible to overcome your situation through strong discipline and conscription, not unlike the Prussians. You just can't, the lack of inherent bonuses means you'll always be at a disadvantage unless you invest a lot of mana, only to catch up with others. I have seen more diversity in Vic2 and HoI/DH, where the time period is significantly shorter.
I think EU4 is stuck between wanting to become a competitive multiplayer game with a historical flavor (à la AoE) and a sandbox historical simulator that gives the players the power to shape the destiny of a nation.

#justbalkanthings
>>122511527
No, it isn't
I'm talking about making a culture for each italian region
"South Italian" is a collection of different cultures, from sicily to Lazio, where different, unintelligible language exist and culture is very different
Instead of making a new culture for each region, you use only one culture to represent them all

>Are Wiz and Johan fucking retarded?

>tfw no EU4 mods that do what AGCEEP did
I guess I'll stick to FTG or EU2 for now, those Kingdom Unification paths (Lotharingia, Germany, Italy) were so cool.
>>122511654
>I think EU4 is stuck between wanting to become a competitive multiplayer game with a historical flavor (à la AoE) and a sandbox historical simulator that gives the players the power to shape the destiny of a nation.
Exactly. EU4 was nothing more than Johan trying to get into the competitive scene with a game balanced for multiplayer.
Paradox even posted statistics showing that only 10% of all EU4 userbase plays MP. Ten percent. But fuck trying to make the game more realistic or implementing deep mechanics. No. Dumb it down as much as possible to bring in the cod kids, shit out as many half-assed DLC as possible and balance the shitty mechanics with our little office games in mind.
This is why HoI4 is shit even before being released.
>>122511654
I honestly would mind the first option, if the world maps were procedurally generated on each game. It would certainly make an interesting multiplayer game. And the El Dorado expansion certainly has worked towards that. But as it stands, EU4 is stuck in an awkward middle and its popularity is only propped up by "funny" youtubers and forced memes on reddit and the Paradox forums.
I sincerely hopes HoI4 (which is apparently cranking up this new philosophy to eleven) blows in their face. Maybe someone can mod a picture of the Prophet (PBUH) into CK2 and pass it as genuine around jihadist websites to that one of them shoots the place up.
>>122511737
It's not like they considered themselves Italian during most of the games time period
>>122512160
Well Switzerland has been around for more than 700 years and independent for 600-500, so saying their culture is the same as a french, an italian or a german and that they would all have no problems being a part of these countries is just retarded
>>122511654
All the shit you've typed is straight up wrong, other than the few countries that get major improvements (like Poland for example) national ideas are insignificant compared to idea groups. And idea groups often grant you stuff taht is simply locked to other the ones who did not pick it, like the explorers and conquistadors (inb4 Portugal).
And I'm not defending Wiz nor Johan, just pointing out that you are wrong, both of them are fucking retards indeed.

Why they are trying to turn into a competitive game is beyond me. We're talking about a game that takes 15+ hours to complete here.
If they really cared about competitiveness, they should have poured more resources into MotE, which is one of the only genuinely fun mp GSG.
>>122512472
They can silence dissent and have a sizable echo chamber.
I've never posted on the Paradox forums, but I wouldn't be surprised if they banned users for saying "fuhrer mana". Can anyone confirm?

What you are saying is certainly true to some extent. I might be exaggerating of unique ideas. I forgot to mention that this just comes on top of the railroading already done by geography. Take Aragon, your ideas (galley bonus and troop morale) essentially encourage you to become a Mediterranean power with Italian ambitions (culture conversion cost).
You could still distance yourself from that and compensate with idea groups, but I believe the encouragement is unwanted and counterproductive.
Another thing I forgot to talk about is the lack of malus. Except for some small tokens like the Patriarchal drop in tax revenue, the game essentially never forces you to make sacrifices, except in the form of ideas you could miss. Gone are the days of quality vs quantity or narrow-minded vs innovative. Instead you get RNG events. I think it's poor game design.

What you're saying is just expanding on my point, modern Paradox is crap at game design. I seriously have no idea why they abandoned the slider system from EU3 in favor of the strictly positive idea group one.
It basically all boils down to EU4 being a lazily designed game, with russian choices to expand on other than blobbing.
>>122514649
How is RNG good for balanced MP? Especially with the drastic nature some of them can have. An early English player that gets a monarch humiliating the court followed by his death for a total of -2 stability. How could he contain France?

Who cares? Realism is not a meaningful argument. He needs to git gud and stockpile mana so he can magically stabilize a fucked up country in a single day.

RNG is necessary for simulating the complex and virtually infinite number of factors found in reality that shape a result in almost any given scenario.
And that's if you subscribe to a deterministic universe, rather than the inherently RNG quantum mumbo jumbo shit universe theory.

I think the silliest thing about stability is that the higher it is the higher chance of stab hitting events, and there are 2-3x the number of stability decreasing events compared to the increasing events which are only available when <1% overextension or theocracies.
This reminds me of what I really hate about EU4 is how obfuscated the mechanics are, with advisors, idea groups, or some other mechanic opening up important events that you're not privy to without looking through the files.

It's a bit more deterministic with due to national ideas than eu3 was yeah.
You can still fill up four military idea groups, get religious ideas and get two morale policies to get your idea up, but you'll never beat similarly min/maxed france at morale.
I don't think that is heretical though. It gives some extra replayability since different nations have a unique flair to them.
I avoided eu4 at the beginning because of this, but I've come to see the appeal.
You could probably keep the replayability value from the uniqueness of different nations if you worked in some more reform nation options.
Like how Forming Persia gives you different national ideas, there could be like a few basic sets of national ideas that you could reform into by decision if you meet the criteria.
So if you're Hansa and you want to stop being a trader you could pick Offensive and Religious and now you can reform into a monastic state with monastic military ideas. I don't think they should have french morale, but maybe 10% morale and some disc in there.
Just getting military idea groups should be enough vs AI though.
beta leak when?
Also, check this stupid shit out, Commie Norway
>>122520850
This is my idea for thecomplete collapseof New England. This event is incredibly rare, but there are factors that could speed it up or slow it down. I have and idea about what it would be. These are my ideas
A. For the USA to get the most land, there should be election fraud or a scandal that causes the country to question whether it was right to secede or it's ability to govern separate from the USA.
B. For the middle choice where the country is split, I could guess the idea of a military invasionif the USA and Empire somehow like eachother?My reasoning for that is because of the border being split between the Appalachians.
C.For the British to win it would require a weaker USA, probably the results of a strong British ai or player.
I'm going to read up on some historical sources andalt hist webpages only for sources/ideas/reasoning
But of course New York City will be involved thanks to its importance. Maybe there will beFighting between the Empire and the USA that could end up in the city beingabsolutely destroyed and burned to the ground

>>122525110
It makes more sense this way. It was also the original way Napoopan did it.
I see it as making no sense for NE to be the USA and the USA to be the CSA because New England is the one that seceded, not the CSA. They shouldn't have been able to claim the title of the USA because of that. It's the same idea for the CSA. Why would you throw out your constitution and rename your country to the Confederate States of America? It made no senseit was also a cheesy way of including the CSA tag.
>>122525246
Of course there would be. Whoever keeps the city at the end can decide to rebuild itand probably rename it if the Empire owns it. But how would you go from an English name to another? I'll think about names. But what do you think of the idea? About what you said on the low pop high liferating city, I probably plan on having around 20-50% leaving or dying off. And the liferating would probably drop to 30/35/40 based on the damage.There's always the chance of no damage and this ending peacefully
Anyways, why would I completely destroy the city I live in currently?
>>122525573

You could do what "Seven Years War" mod guy wanted to do before he disappeared, create a very small province in Canada and make it the EIC capital(the EIC HQ) and make all of their provinces on India colonies.

Having to go through such a length workaround seems like bad design to me. I feel cheated when I think the old system is so much superior at a fundamental level. I'll give them the policy feature and other icings on the cake. They are nice additions. But again, it's just there to fix the inherent problems with the mana system.
If the trend is maintained, I think EU4 could very well be playable and semi-fun in 3-4 DLCs.
>>122530365
>>122531602
Probably not, I might get it independent though, Britain has a much larger navy than me and I only barely have any ships. Our armies are about the same though
>>122526193
You should add Dixie cores to the USA if New England wins the civil war, and vice versa, because as it is as soon as it's over half the new USA is able to be assimilated.
When does the UK release the rest of the Canadian territory? Playing my first Canada game in Vicky2.
>>122532856

>>122533002
Urg... What if I go to war for my independence? Do I still get cores in the rest of the territories or should I justify claims on them?
joj
>>122533308
I don't think you get cores desu, at least not in HPM. I'd just conquer them directly.
>>122533441
OK, thanks anon.

You can see a battle screen in Vic 2? I thought all that was visible was the stupid little tug of war morale thing.

>try to play tribal and then reform to merchant republic
>all existing and new tribal vassals always reform to feudal
>if i try to leave tribes alone they constantly raid me.
Am i asking too much? I just want to play republic with republic vassals. Why this game hates me?
Can Islam exist in WTWSMS?
this is fucking ridiculous
I took out the rebels as the UPCA, got my cores back, was stable for decades, then though some fuckery got shit on by colombia. 100% my fault, and I got cut down to size and lost panama. a few ranarcho libs/jacobin rebels popped up, took some provinces, and suddenly all the states from the start were declaring independence. It doesn't seem like that should happen if they weren't even _______ nationalists, and with all my cores there
on top of that, about 2 years before this happened I suddenly suffered a reactionary coup d'eta for no reason. does that happen if a reactionary party is in power too long?
HPM pls fix this bullshit. something like, if the independent countries were never ACTUALLY independent, they should lose their cores after a while. or at least get rid of them declaring independence if ANY kind of rebel takes their land
>>122533670
yes dumbass, you click on the battle bar
>>122535005
I am pretty sure there's a decision or something that removes all of the other cores from the other nations when playing as the FRCA lad. I vaguely remember that happening on my FRCA game, but I might just be retarded desu.
I puppeted Colombia early on after taking Panama so I didn't have to worry about that front at all btw. Worth a shot for next time if you wanna try again.

/his/ is great (and easy) for buttblasting people because the posters are so myopic that they view absolutely everything through a lens of whatever ideology that they believe.

Roman Republic guy here. During the war for Lesser Antilles Portugal and Britain got fucked by France, I seized an opportunity and acquired cape colony from Britain before the war ended.
Now I'm losing a shitton of money. What do?
>>122556028
Taking a Colony wasn't the wisest choice since your population Primary and Accepted populations don't seem too large. If your Italian provinces have 100% administration yuo can at least cut down those costs to like 5-10% Keep it up though, it's fun to watch.
that helped quite a bit actually, thanks.
meanwhile we're making our way towards a republic, slowly but surely

>>122556329
Nice. Watch out that Sardinia doesn't fuck you over in the late 1850s by taking most of the north.
>>122556714
Don't trip, dawg, I took care of that in the start. France helped me out.
What do I do while I wait for my infamy to go down? Tunisia is still under Ottoman control and every Italian state is sphered and allied by Austria or France
>>122556778
>wasting infamy in Italy when you'll just inherit it all anyway
Should've used that infamy to fuck up someone (either Austria or the Ottomans) with the back of France, GP'd and sphered the other people.
>>122556778
Oh. Well fuck, I don't know, sit and contemplate I guess. Hope British revanchism doesn't fuck you out of South Africa, stay France's eternal bud. Post colony map.
>>122556998
Have map.
>>122556975
Do I still get the cores if I decide to stay Papal and don't choose the Italy decisions? Because I can't be Roman Republic if I choose the decisions
>>122557448
Of course not, why would you? And then S-P would just form it with rebels.
>>122557489
because I took 3 rolls yesterday and you guys chose Roman Republic
>>122557448
personally I wouldn't go that far down into Egypt without taking that part of Libya that is black on this map. Also, try getting more of South Africa. If you can, just get into a war with Austria to suck up more of Italy.
>>122557616
oh no I was just marking ottoman lands there.
my endgame aim is all of italy (including Croaita), switzerland, the holy land, and aragon if I can.
Also I have to spread the word of God all around the world so I'll be colonizing as much as I can. Although I'm not too good at that
>>122557930
oh and I forgot to mention egypt. And if I see that it's going REALLY well I'll probably take all of the adriatic coast, and maybe Greece?
>>122558034
All I can say is make sure you have a lot of fucking Italians and are good at assimilating and converting.
