>First off, we have adopted the “shattered retreat” from EU4, meaning when an army is defeated it will run back to somewhere relatively safe so that the enemy can’t keep ping-ponging it until it is annihilated.

At the same time, you should be able to attack a retreating army if you meet them in the same province. When I think of eu4's shattered retreat, I think of Napoleon hilariously running back to Paris from Russia taking absolutely no casualties from harassing pursuers.
Finished my first game of V2 as Belgium and I want something new. Doesn't have to be out of Europe just not Belgium or a primitive naive country. Any suggestions lads?

Guys, I need help
I bought this meme and apparently it comes with a game. Anyone know how to mod it out or is it hard coded in.
>>124031413
wot
>>124031253
How do you fuck up that badly?
>>124031413
You can mod it out once you purchase the Cossacks™ DLC® for the low, low price of $39.99 paracuxbux™
They fucked up map modes.
4 Things to scroll through is not more efficient than the full list of options over the map.
Development map mode is nice, but they didn't have to remove Base Tax map mode jesus fuck.
Should have at least 4, 1 for each dev type and one with full development.
>>124030203

Belgium was pretty boring. I got GP 5 in the end and in the last Great War, after I spent 40 years building up my army, it got smashed within 3 months by the British and French. Luckily Germany and Russia came to help before I got totally fucked. But damn it was bad.

>>124032173
>You can't carpet siege with the new forts anyway.
oh right.. well, come to think of it, maybe paracocks should go back once in a while and rethink how new features interact with the old ones.
Because frankly, simply having the fort system and no shattered retreat is probably a better approximation of how things worked, while also making wars less about pure manpower fights.

Do those events other than the core ones even have any outcome at all? Your consciousness and militancy skyrockets anyway. It's a drop in a bucket.
So i was dinking around with some culture colors in the new HPM to fix some complaints other people and I have had, what do you all think?
first, i changed Greek back to its old color, and put its new color in the place of Kashmiri, which looked wildly out of place
new Hazara looked like African Minor, so I switched old Hazara with Pashtun so Pashtun and Turkmen didn't look too close anymore
I switched Tarascan and Dagestani to prevent Dagestani from looking like Armenian, and now I think it has a nice similarity to Circassian
finally I changed Kru and Chechen to prevent Kru from looking like Mande and Chechen from looking like Russian

They seem daunting honestly. I've been kinda afraid to play any bigger countries because they seem so easy to fuck up with so much land and being all big and shit. That's why Belgium felt nice and I finished a game, because it was small and easy to contain. Am I being irrational in my thinking?

So, is the EU4 in the archive supposed to work with the latest update?
Because I put it all in the dlc folder, run the activator many times and it just says there is no dlc available.

If you really just want that dirty satisfaction of getting what you want, try out Russia. You can beat up Prussia early on and stop your only potential challenge from getting off the ground. After they're taken care of, do everything to get in the way of England. You'll always be able to beat them on land, but it'll be a while before the Czar's flag (or the Hammer and Sickle) fly over London.

Is there a list of specifics for Estates bonuses?
Seems like non euros have basically Clergy and nobility by other names, but the bonuses aren't always the same.
Thought it was tied to influence but that doesn't seem right.
Merchant Guilds(Burghers) have 15% Trade Efficiency at 40 influence as Vijyanjagar, but I think it was at like 5-10% with some other nations.
Increasing does raise the value though.
I know hardly anyone plays EU3 anymore, but I deeply love this game, and am in the long tedious process of making a pseudo-map-mod to create a (hopefully) balanced world. No terra incognita from day 0, every nation is 4 provinces with a relatively centralized capital province. Also, remapping cultures and trade goods.
Thoughts?

How do you diplo vassalize now?

You're probably better off discussing this in /civ4x/, /gsg/ is for historical and ahistorical discussion.
What's going on here?
Everything south of Denmark and Northern Russia I have randomly inherited. I was going to secure the Baltic for my borders but these new Black Sea territories are fucking with that
HOI4 BETA LEAK WHERE?!

How long have you worked on it?
If you're starting I'd say don't.

just land every county with one ruler and grant independence to him
the surrounding nations should gobble him up within ten years

After /gsg/ was coalitioned by the steam groups and completely taken over any discussion of games was banned and shitposting was crowned king.
>>124046997
I have spreadsheets for fictitious nation names, ethnic groups, religions, etc. Basically completely ahistorical/pseudo-fantasy with EU3 mechanics and default province layout. I already have a lot of replacement .txt files for each new nation with slider positions set and such. Lots more to go and then probably even more debugging when the game will inevitably crash when I try to run it, but this is a bit of a passion project that I like to dote on in my spare time.
>>124046263
I've been thinking about going EU3 because it is a lot better then EU4 in some aspects, but the thought of having to deal with magistrates again just makes me lose all interest.
>>124047125
They're just memeing on you. This is the place to discuss modding GSGs.

Korea's and Ming's forts block me so that I can't move anywhere except these three provinces. I can't even retreat back into my own provinces.
Bravo Paradox.
>this CTD bullshit is apparently intentional
lmao
good game you got here
thanks Yohan.

Ohh I see, my LAND movement is blocked. If only I could sail my ships through the ground, I could load my troops on and get away from this chink force field preventing me from walking back to my own fucking capital.

Truly it is lucky for the Han that Daqin established peaceful relations rather than seeking to invade.
Huh.
So Nobility and Cossacks give +50% manpower modifier to the province.
But if an Estate controls the province they have a minimum of 25% autonomy.
Autonomy is not additive with the other modifier so the increase in manpower is actually only 12.5%.
>>124032059
>>124036804
Fixed it.
Skidrow Cossacks with the crack from Skidrow Common Sense keeps it from crashing every time I exit to menu.
>>124049387
And it gets worse when you factor in buildings which are additive with Nobility. With Barracks you break even on manpower (.75 * 2 vs. 1 * 1.5) and just suck up the 25% penalty to everything else.
Not sure the world gen has been improved to be honest
so after a bullshit peace deal where the Uesugi some how had enough points to full annex the date and take my capital province, which happened in no small part thanks to an AI that thinks its best to focus on me rather than primary war leaders, I decided to break a truce and take most of their shit. this is the result

All the islands are WAY too fucking tiny
>>124050470
it looks like a Pollock painting
>>124050281
>>124049387
what, so the overall addition of estates is nothing but penalties?
>>124050604
>bad at game
>get mad game is hard
>>124050716
isn't that actually a good thing, because it reflects the lack of centralisation of early modern era states?
>>124050281
>And it gets worse when you factor in buildings which are additive with Nobility. With Barracks you break even on manpower
Oh damn right.
93% of manpower with the second manpower building.
Estuaries and CoTs to burghers could still be good at least
>>124050772
desu my rage is more at the dlc/patch in general. I just took it out on the Uesugi
only 80 years till the ae wears off
>>124050716
National modifiers are still good.
But you might wanna be careful with giving up all your land to cossacks for increased manpower.
Keeping them happy for Cav Combat is still a good idea imo.
>>124050953
the best strategy as a Japanese minor is to get strong enough to beat all of Japan by the time you get a coalition, then just fucking beat all of Japan. Nobody can touch you on your magical kawaii island.
>>124051101
I've done the chrysanthemum throne play through a few times before (got the achievement with the takeda actually)
but the new diplomacy system has fucked a few of the start strategies. My experience is the Takeda, despite being an opm are actually a really good start choice if you can grow quickly. Or I should say were
lmao they made this fucking game more of a meme than it used to be ming is severtal times more aggressive than it used to be and they've made it so that china never gets ebin rebels
>>124050837
sort of, its rather hamfisted though. plus shouldn't the powers of the estates and penalties/bonuses they bring get weaker as the game goes on?
>>124051514
>shouldn't the powers of the estates and penalties/bonuses they bring get weaker as the game goes on?
Hey there now, I think that amount of work would require a new DLC :^)
HPM here?
>>124051514

Doesn't the relative land requirements vary with government form? Or at least I believed it did.

He only speaks romance languages when he's undercover.
I know this gets asked all the fucking time, but if I get a steam copy of Vicky/EUIV/CKII and use the DLC in the archive, can I play them and get cheevos and do multiplayer?
>>124050894
If you only want trade power, yeah since autonomy only does half to it (even still you're probably worse off overall with the decreased tax/production/manpower/forcelimits). And keep in mind that estates stack poorly with EVERYTHING else. Quantity or Russian ideas? Less manpower. Any +income ideas? Worse now.
So far the only use I've seen for Estates is as the hordes, where if you really want to blob at hyperspeed by burning things for mana, you give out estates because you don't have time for the autonomy to drop. Just blob->burn->raise autonomy to prevent rebels->give to estates.
>>124050716
Hilariously, pretty much. The thing is that if you actually try to balance them and get the bonuses you'll eventually get hit by events that screw up the balance and you have civil war-tier disasters happening to your country.
