Reminder that SteIIaris has its own general and discussion of the game doesn't go here. Thank you.

We don't have an official steam or discord group. If anyone posts in the thread about any "official" or not steam or discord groups, 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/?

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.
1937 – Great Purge: The Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin executes eight army leaders.

It should work for any unit. I haven't bothered doing the math on it before now, and I don't know all factors involved, but let's suppose that all units advance at 1.75% XP per day spent running exercises. As I said, I'm currently seeing a little more than that on my units right now, but that might be modified by some unknown factor.
So, if done perfectly, this requires 20% training before deplyment, deployment as soon as possible, and then exercising for the last 80% XP to become Trained.
Assuming all divisions gain exercise XP at the same speed (seems to be the case for me, testing with two different kinds of divisions), the post-deployment training will always take 46 days.

Now, I don't have the training times for all kinds of division makeups, but let's take a look at two examples as France:
A purely Motorized division takes 90 days to train. A Heavy Tank division takes 180 days to train.
In the first example, the first 20% before deployment take 18 days, followed by 46 days of exercises for a total of 64 days. Faster than regular deployment, but not a lot.
In the second example, the first 20% before deployment take 36 days, followed by 46 days of exercises for a total of 82 days. The longer the base training time of the unit is, the higher the reward of deploying at 20% and exercising until Trained.

If the division train time is less than 57 days, normal deployment is faster.

The only downside would be the equipment use.

Pic unrelated.

>>145210654
A lot of the issues with the AI is around its inertia, i.e. its inertia is too low when defending and too high when attacking so it isnt aggressive enough but keeps reevaluating the situation and moving troops around the defend this, but losing dig in bonuses in the process, it also strat-redeploys too much meaning with fast units it is very easy to intercept low org redeploying units along front lines.

None of these things can be fixed as they are to do with the AIs own utility functions.

Vicky 2. Getting the "building Quad 23" endless load.

How did this happen and how do I fix it?
>>
>>145212510
Not a bad choice since they slip into GP quite easily.

Vicky 2 is actually a really simple game. It could be more complex if it gave the player more ways to intervene in the economy and the society beyong build factories.

Just learn what population groups do and use your focuses accordingly.

Political reform in this game is a simple ladder according to Paradox.

The thing is I did that when I first got the game and I've had this problem very recently and I have no idea how it happened. Plus, there's nothing in the map/cache folder at the moment. That's for the steamapps/common/Victoria 2 folder.

But what about the directory:

This PC/Local Disk (C:)/Users?User/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria II/map/cache

Is this the one you're talking about? In this cache folder, you have several BIN files and a quad_textures folder with seemingly random numbers of quad_textures ranging from 23 to 259 in it.

It all looks pretty fishy to me. I've deleted this stuff before but after trying loading the game again and being forced to log out in the Ctrl+alt+delete menu and logging back in, and going back to the folder, I find that everything is back.

i.e. I'm really confused as to what I should do. Should I just go into Steam and uninstall/reinstall?

The start dates I've considered so far are mostly just for how interesting the scenarios are on the world stage, however; I'm not necessarily advocating playing any one ruler or even in any one region based on a start date, just in getting a world where some unusual things may happen. Where I play, when I start, if I'll play a pre-existing character or a ruler designer one, etc., will all be up to polls.

start by justifying war goal on Netherlands to take their colonial oil and rubber. They have only a few divisions in the entire area and no navy to speak of.

I've played Japan twice now. The navy you start with is great and can handle the UK fleets that will be inevitably sent against you with ease. I found having a sub and destroyer produced each month was fine. Keep the carriers outfitted with fighters and some naval bombers, maybe. Worked for me and I never even research new carrier fighters beyond the 1940 edition, and I left naval bombers at 1936.

Just put your navy into a mission where you need it. For island hopping just have a couple subs cover unprotected areas so you can utilize naval invasions quickly.

Improve the AI, Make it less likely to move troops around for slight changes in threat/danger values and make it avoid encirclement more actively.

Improve the economic scaling so blobbing into shitty countries is less profitable.

Add in fuel consumption, seriously, this is such a huge issue, or anything to represent munitions and other consumed material.
The USA's largest contribution to the war, was by no small margin, ammunition production.

Even ammunition without Fuel would be an amazing step in the right direction, if you don't want to pivot on fuel. It would allow modders to then mod fuel into the game without creating a PR nightmare for yourselves.

The German state failed in just about every way after Hitler came to power: the rebellions against Party rule were nigh-constant, the alliance with Russia fell through, the army never seriously recovered, etc.

Essentially, Hitler in the AAR was just a dreg of the Nazi party who somehow managed to seize control and to use what was left of the Party apparatus after Drexler was captured to maintain control, but he, being lazy, uneducated, and prejudiced, could do almost nothing with the beaten state that Germany had become.

the best game I ever played in multiplayer, just watching all those german divisions scatter and the French advance made me orgasm, really, I recommend rushing medium tank tech and motorised divisions (don't bother adding a light tank to those, just bring some light tank divs separately) put one medium brigade in your light tank divisions and you become god.

Still, that war was the equivalent of two retarded dogs pissing all over each other. Britain had just been disarmed (and had been fighting a multi-year war with Ireland they almost lost), and Hitler fought more rebellions at home during the course of it than he did abroad. I think he only actually blockaded Heligoland and Mosley just gave it up.
