Here's the less snekky version with just Asia Minor. Personally, I prefer the former because it includes the Greeks in Trebizond. With them, most of the Anatolian Greeks would be united under Greece (with the exception of the landlocked Cappadocian Greeks).
>>135556403

Yeah, sorry, I went to sleep. The whole point of the Megali Idea was to unite all Greeks under on state, and taking all of the extra land you suggested would just be adding a ton more Turks to Greece and a negligible amount of Greeks. Sure, you would be free to take that land yourself in game. But cores wise, "Megali Full" would the extent of core provinces.

Also, change the Syrian states so one is the coastal provinces, Antioch and Latakia and the other is all the irrelevant shit to the east like darz Al whatever and Damascus.

See >>135557125. At that point, you are just pointlessly blobbing with no historical precedence or realism whatsoever.
>>135557237
Not too much to explain really. The borders were inspired by pic related, as they would roughly encapsulate a majority of Anatolian Greeks. As stated before, the only Greeks that would be excluded would be Cappadocian Greeks and extremely tiny Greek communities scattered around inner Anatolia. Those could be handled through population transfers.
In regards to population transfers, I was thinking it should be possible, just have some set conditions. Given that the Turks would not willingly accept a population transfer of Turks from Thrace and Asia Minor, it would probably require that Greece occupies Turkey or controls them as a puppet. At the very least it would require Greece have Turkey in their sphere. With all the Turks being moved, you could spread them out among inland Anatolia. As for the small amount of Greeks in Turkey being moved to Greece, you could move most, if not all, to Constantinople, given that it would be very depopulated following the ejection of Turks from the area.

>>135557937
I'm aware of Crimean Greeks, but cores are up to MCG. In my opinion, I don't think Greece would want to anger Russia, given that Greece would find Russia to be a major ally (shared religion, history, and common enemy). Not to mention, there were never any historical claims (that I know of) during the time period towards Crimea, whereas the Anatolian coast was frequently claimed by Greek nationalist.

Province positions are edited, names are not. They don't really need to be edited though. It's up to you.

It'll add a goal for Greece to move towards/achieve. The hope would be that you would have a relatively homogenous, medium-sized empire (assuming you only expanded in the Balkans and Anatolia, which is unlikely).

>you've partially convinced me. I'll add a decision to get a core on the single trebizond province if you own all your megali cores.
Why just Trebizond? The Greek majority in the area wasn't just in Trebizond, it was in the entire Pontus region (the teal, grey, and blue provinces in pic related).
Also, given that Greece would have to be in a very powerful position to even be able to take these lands, I don't see why they wouldn't push to take the rest of the Black Sea Anatolian coast (the pink and red provinces), which still had some Greeks in it, so that all lands are interconnected. I'd imagine it wouldn't exactly be fun to have to travel through Turkish territory to get to your exclave on land, and going by sea has its own problems.
>Can you also upload your province map?
Yeah sure, I'll put it in a dropbox due to filesize. Ignore province changes outside of Anatolia.

I doubt the international community would view it as rightfully Greek, and Greece already gets a ton of cores out of decisions. With the Trebizond core they can take the entire state, but will still only have one core territory there.

I mean, that's up for debate, but for Greece to be in the advantageous position to demand it would warrant it. Not to mention Greece would have some level of international prestige and sway, since it has to be a Great Power anyways to take the Megali decision.

Lad, it isn't just about Greece. If it was, I'd reshape all the provinces and states to the old Byzantine themes.

That's especially why I haven't changed any state borders because they conform to the Ottoman (who in most games as well as at the game start control Anatolia) vilayets.

Oh I just figured out how it got this way. I set the game to flat provinces. But the prices are the same, so they got all those 10 development places for 3-5 points each.
>>135569685
Random nations, vanilla. Normal got boring. You get to see stuff like this every game.

Is that seriously the only provinces in the game? I haven't paid much attention to the development diaries so Idk what's up with the mechanics.
I probably won't upgrade anyway HOI3 is the shit.
why can't we get rid of the rats in HoI?
>>135569781
HPM fixed that shit in the newest version, he gave the liberals and conservatives so much loyalty that no other party can be voted in, which is good because fuck the commies.

Back in the day there were two groups, the rich and the poor, the rich felt naturally better than the poor and the poor just didn't cause too much off a stink.
Then the middle class emerged, people with enough money to go to university, study politics and generally be students, they still resented being looked down on by the rich and so through this they associate themselves with the poor, even thoughif I see any of those poofs round my fucking estate I'll smash their heads in

>>135570423
Not him, but it's more rewarding than doing autistic OOB micro. HoI is supposed to be a grand strategy game not logistics officer and army planner simulator.
You do exactly as much strategy in HoI3 as you do in HoI2, but now spend like 90% of the time moving around little counters and building hierarchies like an autist. They didn't improve the strategy at all. Just went all in on fucking army planning for no reason.
If you prefer that shit, more power to you, but it makes a horrible strategy game.
>>135570883
Funny thing is these take up an idea slot. So by making your nation have women with more power you make your nation weaker then all others.
>>135571430
HoI3 plays faster and more smoothly than HoI2, speaking as someone who is good at both.
OOB is entirely optional and its not that hard to manage armies well.

"Grand"
"Strategy"
Perhaps Civ is more your scene, laddo.
>>135571194
but seriously lads hoi4 will be a good game please preorder
>>135571639
Civ 4 can get crazy autistic on the micro lad
>>135571468
As long as they are optional you can just ignore them. I agree it's a dumb idea though. Leave it to a swede to be cucked.
>>135571774
the earlier games are always more autistic. I'm pretty sure civ 2 had a proper government system that actually effected how you play, eg Congress blocking you from declaring war. I usually went fundamentalist tbqh
>>135571639
>implying civilization isn't far more complex than "Grand Strategy" games

How does one lad genocide in new world order?
>>135571526
I don't agree. I played thousands of hours of HoI2, but HoI3 is torture unless you use AI to manage your troops and just forget about them. That's not good, it takes away any and all ability to actually control your army and the AI does really stupid shit.
I didn't say it was "hard" either. It's just so mind numbingly boring and time consuming. Takes fucking HOURS to set up the OOB, specially if you're like me and want to have proper armeekorps names and shit.
This doesn't improve the game as a game.
It just simulates something that has very narrow appeal and in the end the game as a whole suffers for it. Like I said, you're welcome to play HoI3, but by God am I glad that OOB shit is gone. It was an interesting experiment that failed.
>>135572632
>acts autistic
>surprised when it becomes slow
I literally don't make an OOB in 95% of games, and I've never renamed a unit because who gives a fuck. Turns out the game plays fine if you don't intentionally try to screw it up.

Find a tall building and ride up its elevator to get accustomed to the DH game mechanics.

Why do you even care about that feature if your suggestion is "don't use it"?
>>135572632

Paradox must be releasing soon, their PR people always crawl out of the woodwork around this time.

I mean, it's a better game, but only slightly less autistic

>>135573213
You are kind of replying to me after I made a point that the defining feature of HoI3 is bad.
Why wouldn't you just play HoI2 or DH or whatever? HoI3 doesn't really improve in any key areas over those. So the only thing it has is the OOB autism.
