We don't have an official steamgroup. If anyone posts in the thread about any "official" or not steamgroup, promising MP or not, be sure it's a shitposter group known for organizing raids and shitposting in the thread. They are known for false-flagging.
Report and ignore it

How fares your empire, /gsg/?

Immigration isn't really needed. Most countries have life ratings of 35 in their provinces, that's a +0,05% population growth bonus. If you go for the Chemistry and Electricity techs, that's another +0,08%. The healthcare social reforms are good too, the last stage gives you +0,08%.

That's a +0,21% growth rate for each province, which is definitely going to pay off if the starting pops of these provinces were big enough already.

If I turn Poland into a rich great power that stays neutral in some great war in which germany is assblasted into oblivion, I want to see fucking frankfurter cleaning slav toilets in Lodz
If my Romania becomes a military power routinely steamrolling pannonia, I want to see pests leaving their capital for the sunny vistas of neighboring slovenia or whatever the fuck, not going through my romanian dalmatia and buying my romanian tickets and taking my romanian ships to the new world

There's a mod like that for darkest hour called Fatherland. It's a "believable" axis victory scenario beginning in 1948 where the Germans manage to defeat the soviets in 1942. As a result, operation Husky is a total failure and facing catastrophic losses in men and ships the Americans decide to drag the British to the negotiating table with the Nazis, where where they agree to recognize Axis domination of Europe in exchange for Germany revoking their support for Japan, which gets nuked into submission like what happened historically. Pretty good, but I found it a bit buggy.

Ugh, yes, it's a valid argument but expect to be spammed with "Respectfully Disagree" to the next stone age because the drones for Paradox games now consider it a moot point for irrational reasons mostly relating to Paradox unwilling NOT to be lazy around their mechanics and game design and using their position to push out reasoning that means nothing and having the drones taking their word as final and authoritative.

I'm starting to think that the post-CK2 Paradox fanbase isn't casuals, but AH fags that only discovered Paradox after CK2 came out and are now trying to enforce their autistic world view on the games. That's the only explanation I can come up with for why the new fanbase is so militantly against not having bullshit in their map painters. Any normies playing the new Paradox games who are otherwise ignorant of world history would be too indifferent towards accuracy to produce a 5 agree 32 disagree vote.

No, it's the singular pop literacy that counts for promotion. The one you see on the right in the population screen.
You can often see clerks in 1836 in Russia because Jews have high literacy.

>>135626425
How can you have a singular pop literacy? I mean, either somebody is literate or they're not, I don't see how it can be that you need to be 50% literate to become a clerk

A good example of what the game models are black people in modern day USA. They're only like 50% literate while your average white person is 100% literate making the country 90% literate.

My country is at 16% literacy (persia) and I designated a region for war industry, and all the factories in it are doing shitty despite having proper RGOs in the region and good dependency factories and decent population. I don't know what the he'll I'm doing wrong, I have some countries in my sphere but I guess they're so shit and poor they don't buy anything I produce.
My economy is dying because of the subsidies, if I take them all off I'll surely slip out of GP, and besides they're all factories I want anyway that seem like they would be very profitable.
But yeah somehow I just can't get clerks and I'm thinking that's my problem.
Is the only thing to do get militancy raised somehow and pass school reform?
>>
>>135626681
...
every pop has a different literacy level. if in a country of 100 pops, 50 have 25% literacy and 50 have 75% literacy, your average literacy will be 50%. however, only the ones with the 75% literacy can be promoted to clerks. your average literacy is just a guideline and it's mainly there to show your research speed.

As for fixing literacy problems. Have you researched Biologism yet? What's your clergy/intellectual percentage at?
As for factory profitability. What factories are you building? Liquor may be a meme, but it's a meme for a reason.

Hell if I know, the alliances here are a bit weird. Makes ending a war a pain, at least none of them are land locked. I think. Random countries make random alliances. The biggest strongest country started out with 150k troops. Luckily it was in China and it couldnt sustain that for long 100k is its limit.

How much territory can I reasonably hope to turn into states as Japan in HPM? For example, if I take Outer Manchuria, Korea, Taiwan, Alaska, Micronesia and Polynesia (not including New Zealand), could I turn them all into states by the end of the game? What if I also took the rest of Manchuria?

When building a factory, check the trade screen and the supply/demand for the product the factory will produce.
