How fares your empire, /gsg/?
This day in history, June 11th:
1184 BC – Trojan War: Troy is sacked and burned, according to calculations by Eratosthenes.
173 – Marcomannic Wars: The Roman army in Moravia is encircled by the Quadi, who have broken the peace treaty (171). In a violent thunderstorm emperor Marcus Aurelius defeats and subdues them in the so-called "miracle of the rain".
786 – A Hasanid Alid uprising in Mecca is crushed by the Abbasids at the Battle of Fakhkh. Idris ibn Abdallah flees to the Maghreb, where he later founds the Idrisid dynasty.

Reposting from last thread:
In prep for the CK2 AAR, I've looked over all the bookmarks and picked a few scenarios I think might create some interesting outcomes, or would have solid potential for an AAR which begins in a specific place (like England during the Anarchy, etc.) but would expand out from there.
Keep in mind that, for most of these scenarios, I'm not specifically suggesting a particular ruler or even area to play in, merely that an interesting situation exists somewhere in the world--oftentimes multiple places--which would lend early flavor to the AAR and might lead to some unorthodox outcomes. After a start date is finally decided on (which isn't happening right now; this is just the introduction of what I've got so far) I'll start polls on where in the world I should be playing, whether I'll be playing with a custom or historical character, etc.
I'm mostly posting this to see if any of you anon have any feedback on it, or additional suggestions for possible start dates. Since I'm using mini-SWMH keep in mind that I've already seen all the start dates featured in it (which are almost all from Sniggles' Bookmarks) and have dismissed using anything but what I've featured here, and that there is no India in mini-SWMH.
Possible start dates so far:

Yeah, it does work. After restricting it again the biggest number I got was 486 pops. Mexico gets pops from Spain and Austria too while I basically only get from the british.
>>145180809
Yes, they start with 60%. The irish don't and they are the bulk of the people leaving the UK.
>>145180679
Isn't better to make a decision where they go back to the UK?
>>145180679
One of the immigration policies are literacy quotas. You need to prove that you are literate to enter. In game a pop need at least 60% literacy.
we need a new archive, the old one is outdated

Here's a late game test with the latest test game. Left is open borders, right is quota.
The quota basically excludes all the Chinese from moving in because no one has over 60% literacy.
>>145181135
Wait, if you need 60% literacy to enter a state and the irish don't, how are they emigrating?

Is it possible to have this as a policy for a political party, instead of being a reform?
That way, you're likely to see much more fluidity in immigration as the game progresses.
>>145181373
Make one that only allows your religion and 75%+ literacy and another more leniant one that allows 50%+ literacy.
>>145181458
Not doing anything before 1066, it would take far too long (and 867 is the only option anyway). Zoroastrianism will be an option based on whether I play a real character or a ruler designer one.

I've had moderate success posting RoTK here before, so I think I'll ask here.
Do I try to scout out free officer Cao Cao and recruit him? He'd be an incredible asset and, left at large with other forces to join instead, is a huge potential danger. But I just know doing so would end up with him becoming my liege in one way or another, possibly backstabbing me in the process.
>>145181350
They are already in. I talked about it here >>145155672
>>145181376
Because they can still go to Mexico. The people immigrant tot he US are British - over 60% literacy. The people moving to mexico are mostly Irish.
>>145181443
Well, you will burn infamy slower. That's the trade off for the restriction. Turning in a democratic government will also change the reform. Constitutional rights give you the right to come and go and all that.
>>145181558
That's actually one of the few things I'm almost sure won't work out. I can test it, but the game usually interprets "religion = THIS" as if the target has the religion called THIS instead if the target has the same religion. That and it will fuck the aesthetics of the whole screen.
>>145181837
Until they learn to read and write, that is.
>>145181957
The game purposefully only represents large scale immigration. Technically, you can have immigration as any nation, pops just prefer the new world much more.
>>145182184
I think so.
It's bot a bad idea, but I'd need to redesign the party policies party of this screen and there isn't enough space. I also need to add another party policy to add min-max social spending so there's one thing on the line for this.
That and prohibiting anyone from leaving your country isn't exactly something that changes dynamically.

HPM first of all I want to say thank you for your work. The dedication you've put into this mod rivals a sizeable DLC.
I've got a few questions about immigration:
Will this have any effect on uncivs? Historically China sent thousands of immigrants to the US, but there isn't an easy way of currently representing that in the game besides the clumsy move_pop command. Is there any way of granting them one of these immigration reforms without fucking up the game's economy?
I'm assuming a Fascist/Communist dictatorship will impose closed borders, but what effect will an anarcho liberal/jacobin/reactionary coup have?
When an unciv Westernises will the default immigration policy be closed borders?
is the /gsg/ mod guy here?
I can't get this focus to work probably because he changed the name of vicky France to French state

I did an Italy game a week ago, and I have 2 questions
When France got dismantled, they lose their cores on Savoy. They then claimed Savoy. Is that a one time thing? If I were to dismantle them again, would they lose those cores again and not be able to reclaim it again?
When France got dismantled, I also got the border provinces. I had no need of them as Savoy and Nice were top line forts. Just a suggestion, but maybe instead of just giving Italy and Spain France's border provinces, have events fire for them so they can choose to take those or not. Maybe an option to take and giving mil and con to the french pops in the provinces, and an option not to and lose like 1 infamy or something
>>145183485
I regularly post his mod there for karma so I can shitpost more.
>>145182552
I'll justify infamy burning thing as, the infamy you burn if you don't have open borders is the actual one and you burn more infamy if you have open borders as you take care of people that flee from wars, oppressive countries etc. Because I agree with >>145182898 that not accepting the refugees wouldn't give infamy in 19th century
But that won't make much sense with countries that don't get immigrants in the first place, so countries that don't get immigrants shouldn't have the infamy burning of others even though they have open borders though I have no idea how would you do this
>>145183424
Can't you just surrender?
>>145183401
Yes i'm here, I'm almost certain that the national focus trees use the country tags rather than names, so changing the name has no effect at all

>>145183896
so it's just hoi4 that is broken
>>145183896

I'm pretty sure your mod makes my game crash
I'm not the guy that was trolling you the last time, really it keeps fucking crashing
>>145184384
It's probably the beta patch
>>145182659
I've thought about it and there's a good precedent in Australia. Problem is, it fucks up the symmetry of the screen. I know it sounds petty but it's one of the main problems. The aesthetics will go to shit if I add another level.
So the quota could be either literacy or European only. I could make a decision that adds an additional layer though, like literacy+region, but the effect present in the reform is the most important and will be the base restriction.
>>145182898
There are no refugees in V2. Closing your borders is people not getting in or out. The wallonian stuff has nothing to do with this.
>>145183485
Yes I try to simulate historical trends. French people didn't breed so much, Ireland was overcrowded and people were leaving en masse and Russians had serious restrictions on moving out. There are plenty of mods out there, or even vanilla, that don't try to do these things, so it shouldn't bother you if people like what you don't.
>>145183259
That implies the existence of a few things, like nativist movements. It's complicated.
>>145183351
Thank you for the kind words.
China also had serious restrictions to movement. The thing had a few exceptions, like Coolies. I don't see an easy solution for that problem as the Chinese will probably bleed out so many immigrants that they will flood the new world.
>I'm assuming a Fascist/Communist dictatorship will impose closed borders,
Not necessarily, it doesn't impose anything. The AI only changes to closed borders if they adopt a totalitarian policy. The player can do it if they want, but don't need to be totalitarian.
>anarcho liberal/jacobin/reactionary
Right now only, the only one that has an effect are jacobins. They force it open. I guess anarcho liberals should also open it.
>When an unciv Westernises will the default immigration policy be closed borders?
Default for all countries right now is open. Closed borders don't change much for most uncivs as they already don't migrate much.
Started playing CK2 yesterday, and quite honestly, I am disapointed...
Game was great and very fun, but it just does not make any fucking sense at all!
I was playing with chales magno, waged war against the saxons, I had clear numerical superiority having over 6k soldiers while they had 4k, was easy to defeat them...
However, not even 1 month after my victory they simply rebelled and spawned nothing less than 12k soldier! That is 3 times what they originally had in the war we just fought!
Like...what the fuck is up with that shit? How did their soldiers grow 3x the original number while I still don't have my 6k soldiers back?
This just feels very broken and unbalanced, makes me feel like this game is a massive waste of time since no matter what I do the game will fuck it up with some random ass shit like this...
>>145184564
did it ever get to your mind that they may not be the same soldiers? people revolt and get to arms all the time
anyone please >>145183104
>>145184505
European only wouldn't work though, because if I'm playing Japan I won't want a bunch of cumskins coming in when there are plenty of nearby Chinks or Gooks.
>>145183558
I agree with you, I will change that.
>>145183648
>They then claimed Savoy. Is that a one time thing?
I'm fairly sure it's a one time thing. It's a NNM decision so it shouldn't be repeatable.
>would they lose those cores again and not be able to reclaim it again?
Yes.
>fire for them so they can choose to take those or no
Someone brought this up, don't worry, I will do something like that when I redo the dismantlement stuff.
>>145183796
It's not about letting people in, it's about letting people out. Freedom of movement. Victoria 2 doesn't have refugees and letting people in is a moot point since European countries getting immigrants is extremely rare.
>>145184653
>did it ever get to your mind that they may not be the same soldiers? people revolt and get to arms all the time

Haven't played the game yet. Can you remove the 3d models and just have nato counter or not ? Haven't really followed development lately.
Seriously, what the fuck is even up with the flags in EU4? Here I've spent several hours forming Arabia and then I end up with this low-res ugly piece of shit. Why can't Paradox just make them a bit more high res so they don't look quite as dogshit? Even the flags for the main countries look like crap. Fucking unplayable
In HOIIV, what influences amount of factories possible in a state?

>>145184929
You "massacred" their soldiers, not the population which rose up against you.
Local nobles and merchants can afford foregn mercenaries to fight the oppressor.
And so on
>how the fuck am I supposed to fight it?
you don't fight a crushing rebellion, you avoid it
strip the local nobles of their power and give their land to loyal men so they won't rebel, you need the right laws to do that but it shouldn't be difficult if they're foreign and/or of different religion
>>145184505
Wow sorry, next time I won't express my opinion and just keep watching you and your fanboys fuck up Railroading: the mod even more. Fucking prick.

>>145184957
I never denied the nativists existence. I know they exist.
The problem is that it implies they always exist and exist everywhere, and that people are always supportive of them. You can already change the reform normally, but adding a modifier called "populist administration" that improves ruling party support implies a bit too much about pops.
>>145185326
And I'm justifying my design choices, because I have read your opinion and took it into consideration even if I suspect you aren't trying to help.

Portrait anon here. I made a portrait of Georgios Tsolakoglou, the Axis-installed puppet leader of Greece, to appease that autist who keeps asking for him.
Usual rules apply. Anyone can use him and the dds has been added to the mega folder, etc etc

Shit, someone needs to rework the axis. Whenever I play as democratic America I don't have to do jack shit because by 1939 Germany has declared War on half the world and by 1941 Berlin has fallen. Maybe make them a bit less aggresive, I don't know

A list of the kingdoms would have been enough, but that's pretty cool. I assume those are the same people as always, right? Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce/Sun Jian, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, etc. In this game everything seems to be very static, 207 and it's all pretty much like the start.

>>145186908
they are just failed attacks though
i'm in a NAP with the Soviets
i knew the germans couldn't do anything
by doing that though, it split off into a different war which saved the world
>>145186829

Did you pre order goy?
Cavalry too strong.
>>145185893
I just loaded the game and got even more confused, it wont let me take their titles away because it says I need title removal law to be able to do it, but when i check laws i already have that law active...
What the heck? is this a bug?
>>145186829
I use Photoshop with a couple of plugins - one to save/view dds files and another to give it an oil paint look.
Then I create two custom colour layers; one for the clothes and one for the face. After that I'll spend some time tweaking around with the levels to make sure it matches the style of the original.

the germans tried that, but lost every single ship and plane they sent there
also, the ai has a habit of creating invasions with one division

Can you annex any African nation you have sphered after scramble for Africa pops through event or is it exclusive to certain ones in hpm?

Or better. I had Germany pull soldiers off the front like to invade Switzerland. I took Berlin like a month later as SR. The AI needs helps.

Guess I will just start over and apply all I learned from this failed game on my next one, see if i do better this time.
>>145187317
Cavalry is just faster infantry. So encircle and destroy. AI is currently pretty passive so you can do whatever you want. Mass your troops on encirclement battles and leave other parts of the front lightly defended.

so the reason Hirohito's portrait in Hoi4 is so unnatural looking is because they literally copied it from a TIME magazine cover.

do you have it active or is it being voted on?
depending on your council laws you may need approval before your laws become effective

The UK AI seriously need to STOP doing shitty naval invasions in Italy and START putting fucking soldiers in North Africa and other regions where the enemy is amassing soldiers.
I managed to take Egypt with 4 divisions of Mot-Inf as Italy. I felt empty inside.

I'll drop it if the upcoming DD doesn't mention marriageI was really hyped for playing in Ethiopia with conclave and have been unable to do so thanks to the aggression tweaks and holy fuck I observed the mongols lately they're weird as hell declaring invasions on people they don't border thanks to fucking seazones, hell they subjugated an arabian empire that had done a few wars across the caspian without borders of their own which was border gorey enough on its own
I assume prosperity is mostly to stop people from pouring into the steppes and East Africa so I REALLY want an open beta patch for that alone.

okay imagine this
you're a peasant. your tending your land and providing food for your family. that's what you do. you know of a person who is in the army, that's what he does
now a foreign army comes in, destroys your nation's army, burns your villages, rapes your women, and then they have the nerve to claim they rule over you now.
well you might just put being a lowly peasant on hold to take up arms against these foreign invaders now wouldn't you?
