She's cucking you with him
it would be nice to have a decent grand strategy game set between the start of the 18th century to the start of vicky 2's start date that doesn't use mana points
the most cancerous thing about hearts of iron games, is that population is completely irrelevant. it doesn't even exist to begin with as a mechanic. only indirectly via the manpower pool. thus, a luxemburg with 10 factories will be able to produce way more than a china with 2 factories. now that i think of it, factories are a stat. they don't even need to be manned. you can actually have more factories than your population.
the absolute best way of simulating production, factories and population belongs to victoria 2. unless hearts of iron 4 takes some ideas from it, it is going to be their 4th cancerous game of the series
How can I encourage internal migration in Victoria 2? I'm playing as Australia and I've got huge stacks of pops not assimilating because there's no Australian pops in the province for them to assimilate to.

that's the absolute worst thing with hoi games. industry is the only stat that matters. sure, manpower is important, but without loads of industry to produce units, it's useless.
also, why training people to fight requires factories?

Hey /gsg/ so I have had a recurring issue with HOI3 that has been on and off.
The game will crash when starting up, so I delete my map cache, and it always crashes when generating between quads 2000-3000, never the same one though each time I delete the cache and start again.
Before I would do a bunch of crap to try and fix it, give up for a couple days, then try and it would randomly work. But then the issue will pop up again at some point and ill be screwed all over.
Im not running any mods. and am using podcats LAA exe for TFH.
I have an older rig so maybe thats the issue. its running windows XP 16bit sp3 with AMD athlon 64 x2 dual core processor 4200+, 2gb of ram, and a nvidia geforce gts 250 graphics card.
any thoughts would be great, google has been less than helpful for this specific issue.

Is there anywhere I can find a list of the military score that each different type of ship gives in HPM? Is it in the game files somewhere?
Is the latest version of HPM backwards compatible with the pre-update version of Victoria 2?
>>135118310
Transportation, immigration focus and I let rebels and the French do what they wanted with the countryside, I could have gotten way more Germans there but I released in 1860 to roleplay the Kaiser fleeing to Africa to preserve the absolute monarchy when I couldn't hold Berlin from socialists anymore. It was still only 20% german before I started genociding though.
I never did post the end of this game, I kept the absolute monarchy and was briefly a GP after I cut Japan down to size, otherwise just comfyness though.

lucky nations doesn't apply to combat (surprisingly enough) and I'm pretty sure portugal doesn't even get combat national ideas. you can roll like shit and lose completely against the odds, but the AI will only engage a much larger force like that if it calculates it has a chance of winning. I imagine you've checked the starting morale, discipline, and generals; these are big. another big thing is if you're choosing offensive unit types and then playing defensively.

mod it so that SA was taken by the French, and do these borders

Romania wouldn't have gotten them. One sure sign that they haven't fired is that there is no Hungarian Revolution
this isn't going well

That's how it's always worked.
In HPM do provinces that you want to core have to be neighbouring core provinces or are non-cored ones fine?
>>135129451
If you want to be a vassal, you have to release normally than save and select from the menu

That is pretty sexy.

Eh, maybe some other start. Ive got the kingdom of italy, going to grab all the dejure provinces in 17 months when the peace runs out. Then independence, hop over to Byzantine, and start eating that from the inside out.

/gsg/ I'm EUIV-ing as England, I posted here earlier trying to get ideas for how to impose some difficulty on myself, started my game this evening and I've just gotten a mission to Force Union on France. I've never seen this before and it seems like it's part of something very specific. Does it have to do with the fact that I got my prestige up? Should I take it? War of the Roses is ready to pop any second now.
>>135131290
What are your goals, exactly?
>>135131424
exist
>>135131384
I think the mission triggers by having a larger army than France. You can take the mission and complete it after the War of the Roses ends.
did hpm weaken germany or something?
>>135132057
Ah, that would explain it. Burgundy and their Low Country allies have been beating the French up for a couple years now. I think I'll wait for the Yorkists to settle down then pounce with Aragon and Brittany.
