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 19th:
1269 – King Louis IX of France orders all Jews found in public without an identifying yellow badge to be fined ten livres of silver.
1862 – The U.S. Congress prohibits slavery in United States territories, nullifying Dred Scott v. Sandford.
1865 – Over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, slaves in Galveston, Texas, United States, are finally informed of their freedom. The anniversary is still officially celebrated in Texas and 41 other contiguous states as Juneteenth.
1944 – World War II: First day of the Battle of the Philippine Sea.

Essos is the birthplace of Dragons and Valyrians
The Continent is home of the Free Cities like Pentos, Myr, Volantis, Lys, Tyrosh and Braavos
Essos is a land of mystery as there is a city of Warlocks; Qaarth. A land of a thousand princes and a God Emperor, known as Yi Ti.
Plains of the Dothraki Sea where roaming nomads of horsemen roam.
Asshai, home to the Shadowbinders and possibly home to the oldest dragon known.
Wanna enslave people and make money? Go to Slavery's Bay. Slaver's Bay houses the three great slave trade nations; Meereen, Astrapor and Yunkai. New Ghis is a Kingdom trying to reclaim it's former glory after the destruction of its ancient Empire thousands of years ago at the hands of the Valyrians burning and enslaving everyone.
And a country island of Dwarves and fucking fish people
Mod is pretty great. Silly shit happens a lot.
I also use Colonize Valyria to rebuild the lost Freehold Empire that was destroyed after the unknown event called the Doom of Valyria.
Valyrian Freehold ruled all the land these three owned with the power of Thousands of Dragons.

I feel like one of the things that's really badly represented by HoI4 is just how hesitant countries were to go to war post-WW1. Everyone remembered the great war, and nobody was looking for more war. Having that represented would lead to much more real interactions between nations.

So how many units should that be in game?

>>145947138
I knew you'd fall back on this argument. Good thing it has absolutely zero relevance here. I'm not suggesting raising it or tweaking it or anything, I'm suggesting keeping it at the vanilla fucking value because that's the only one that makes sense here. HPM decided to lower it, so you should be asking him that question because clearly he fully understands all the abstract measurements here.
>>145946826
>>145947063
>>145947225
holy shit alex grandi btfo
>>145947225
If demand peaked in 1830, before liquor factories started popping up, wasn't that domestic demand met by pre-industrial brewing?
Why would there be large demand and profitability from something that peaked before the game starts?

>Good thing it has absolutely zero relevance here

>>145947458
Holy fuck you retard, demand shouldn't be higher, demand should be status quo. I don't know why HPM lowered the demand of liquor, it has to be for a historical reason because it's HISTORICAL project mod, so you ask him how he was able to get the whole abstract measurement thing down and translate that into the lowered the demand.
>>145947532

Because somehow paradox translated US demand numbers in the game units and that was perfect?
> so you ask him how he was able to get the whole abstract measurement thing down
I'm not the one arguing that vanilla got the thing perfect am I?
You are arguing that he made a mistake and vanilla was right, but you didn't bring anything to back it up
So explain how a single good economy makes sense?
If (only) Czechoslovakia guarantees Poland, but it capitulated, do I risk getting dragged in the Axis war if I invade?
>>145947740
You can't claim it should be status quo unless you can show that the global trend for liquor was mass undersupply, because that's what vanilla tends towards.
I don't know that HPM's changes fixed it, but the vanilla liquor behaviour was shitty.
So I told Wiz to add a Cape Town - Santa Cruz strait, and he actually did it the absolute madman!

>In the 1830s and 1840s national and state societies generated an enormous output of antiliquor tracts, and hundreds of local temperance societies were founded to press the cause, first of moderation in drink but increasingly of total abstinence from liquor. The temperance campaign proved extremely successful, particularly in New England and New York. Most New England communities became sharply divided between drinkers and non-drinkers. By the 1840s, liquor consumption had fallen to less than half its previous level, and hundreds of thousands of men had signed pledges of total abstinence. Much of this change proved more or less permanent—since the mid-nineteenth century, per capita alcohol consumption in the United States has never gone back to pre 1820 levels.

Better than HPM's faulty assumptions and poor balancing. If HPM changes the numbers based on historical data it implies he should know the abstract measurements.
Or, if we're arguing from a gameplay perspective here, lowering the demand is even worse. Liquor was a great factory to build if you were just starting out and didn't have access to wood, cotton, coal, or iron. It's not as profitable as some like to make it out to be and the whole "being dominated by the player" thing makes no sense. Any good with high demand can be monopolized by the player, including steel because the player is naturally better at building factories than the AI.
>I'm not the one arguing that vanilla got the thing perfect am I?
You are the one arguing that HPM's change makes sense somehow.
>You are arguing that he made a mistake and vanilla was right, but you didn't bring anything to back it up
Why should I? HPM's the one making the changes, and he's the one who has to back those up. HPM's word isn't fucking gospel.
>So explain how a single good economy makes sense?
The fuck?
>>145948057
>mass undersupply
I rarely see this, if at all. If this was really a problem, just increase the liquor factory's output or make some inventions.
>the vanilla liquor behavior was shitty
Better than steel being in massive demand (more than liquor at that when its demand used to be dwarfed by liquor) from the 1830s.
Does anyone here know approximately when we can expect 1) the WW1 mod and 2) Kaiserreich to be released for HoI4?

>Not just US.

>Better than HPM's faulty assumptions and poor balancing.
Prove it.

YOU are claiming it's wrong and poor balancing, prove the abstract units vanilla has somehow is more right than the abstract units HPM has
>Liquor was a great factory to build if you were just starting out and didn't have access to wood, cotton, coal, or iron.
Which is an argument pro-change on itself
No country became an industrial powerhouse by selling alcohol, the main thing behind industrialization was heavy industry
> It's not as profitable as some like to make it out to be and the whole "being dominated by the player" thing makes no sense.
Yes, it was
>Any good with high demand can be monopolized by the player, including steel because the player is naturally better at building factories than the AI.
Wrong because the AI actually build steel mills while it ignored liquor factories
>You are the one arguing that HPM's change makes sense somehow.
Because industrialization based on heavy industry makes more sense than industrialization based on liquor factories
>Why should I?
Cause you are making the claim he's wrong
>I rarely see this, if at all. If this was really a problem,
Then you are obviously trolling

>YOU are claiming it's wrong and poor balancing, prove the abstract units vanilla has somehow is more right than the abstract units HPM has
I'm claiming it's wrong for that exact fucking reason. HPM has no fucking backing as to how his changes are historical. Regarding the abstract units, THAT IS FOR HPM TO PROVE.
>Which is an argument pro-change on itself
No country became an industrial powerhouse by selling alcohol, the main thing behind industrialization was heavy industry
Stop falling back on memes you desperate retard. Clothing and textiles (the driving force behind the British industrial revolution which takes place at the start of the game) is just as profitable, if not more profitable than liquor. And heavy industry isn't everything, you seem to have this weird distorted romantic view of the Industrial Revolution being all about steel and machinery and such. Guess what - the Industrial Revolution was started by the textile industry. The Soviet Union focused on heavy infudtry a lot, look where that got them. Any factory can be profitable with access to the goods and factory efficiency techs.
>Yes, it was
No, it wasn't. And even if it was, it would make at least some sense because many Victorian governments levied a large amount if taxes from alcohol as compared to steel being a fucking mass industrial enterprise decades before it became standardized and easily mass produced.
>Wrong because the AI actually build steel mills while it ignored liquor factories
Proof?
>Because industrialization based on heavy industry makes more sense than industrialization based on liquor factories
Quit with the memes you insufferable fucking autist. A week ago you would've reported and ignored liquormemers, but now you're all over the liquor meme because suddenly Alex hates liquor.
>>145948948
>Cause you are making the claim he's wrong
Here you go, then: he has absolutely no knowledge of the conversion for the Vic 2 units so any change of that based on historical accuracy is automatically wrong.

>Yeah, steel was irrelevant for industrialization, right? What really should rise is demand for liquor

K, here's Beornia after some years. Basically, after the Plantagents sort of stayed at their French roots, their oppression of the English combined with their clear support for Catholocism in the Wars of Religion caused a decent number of Protestant Englishment to flee. One of those was to what would become Beornia, the only true English country in existence at 1836.
Lotharinga is a barely functioning ex-colony of Burgundian (predominantly more Frankish ones) ruled by a dictator and torn between democrats and people who want to bring back the Burgundian crown.
Amazonie is a more French-speaking Dual Monarchy ex-colony actually composed of two previous colonies, one extremely opposed to slavery. They have ideas of uniting the continent floating in their minds.

How to beat China
Step 1) DOW the Dutch and take their juicy rubber and oil in the South East
Step 2) Make tanks/Motorize divisions (China is actually flat as fuck until you get far south, Commies are another matter).
Step 3) Naval Invade Shandong and encircle their units defending Beijing.
Step 4) Any gaps in their line you smash through with your armour.
Once the initial resistance is destroyed they pretty much are a cakewalk. If you get bogged down by them you are pretty screwed and have to grind them down.
The best way to deal with China is to eliminate them quickly so you can start pumping out divisions.

Guys, I have a question for you.
I'm new to hoi4, so I wonder after you have built infrastructure and forts and stuff, are there much point to keeping most of the civilian factories or should I simply convert most of them to military factories?
I have limited building slots after all (and they're filled up), and I want more military factories. As far as I know there aren't anything else I can do than convert if I want more military ones?

>>145958338
First of all remember that the industrial techs concentrated industry and it's counter part both increase factory slots by 20% so you will still get free slots up 1943
Then remember that civilian factories are used for the mandatory civilian goods production which you can never get rid of AND they are used to power your trade. Remember that your resource needs grow as you advance in techs (new stuff is more expensive than older variants ) and if you modernize say move from infantry production to tank production. Resource needs also grow when you build more factories so take that into account.
Another thing is that you might need other stuff like repairs, on conquered territory, radar stations, air fields, ports and what not which all take civilian factories.
Last thing to consider is that civilian factories power the construction and conversion of civilian factories so if you overdo and convert too many of them it will take a long time to get your construction capabilities back.
If you take all of that into consideration feel free to convert some of your factories to military once all slots are filled though.

I like to think I've definitely managed to get the 'feel' of Paradox' portraits down, but the quality of the original picture is a hugely important factor.
A worry is that as I get into increasingly obscure politicians and generals it's going to get a lot harder to find images of them in decent lighting and resolution.
>>145959259
It's not THAT complicated (especially if you're experienced in Photoshop) but if there's a lot of demand I could write up a quick tutorial. I posted a reply a few threads ago about how to 'hoify' an image of yourself, I'll try and find it.

I initially didn't really like PDM integration either, but to me the great part about it is that there are more ways to arrive at essentially the "same" product, and more pops will use more products, and will use substitutes. The main thing I don't like is that it takes Steamers fucking forever to get off the ground because for some reason it takes forever to invent.

Would it be possible to give the Dutch a permanent CB on the Indonesian uncivs, similar to how Russia has a CB on Central Asian countries?
On that note, are Kunduz included in Russia's Great Game CB? They were never conquered in my recent game, but that might just be random chance.

Lad, some technologies/inventions give you a straight bonus on production output, like Food packing system invention gives you canned food production +2%, do you know does this only affect factories or are also craftsmen affected by this?
Also do you know what's the ideal army composition after tanks and airplanes come to play? Whenever I ask this I always get memed on, I never got a serious answer
>>145961535
hey you kraut fucker
see you on /pol/
>>145955584
Dont know try it on Belgium.
>>145961207
I also played over with what one anon suggested yesterday (reduce the steel cost to build factories) and I went a little further with it, I made basic factories require iron (vanilla) while cheap and common required half of the steel value. The result is a realization that the AI really loves to spam basic factories.
The AI also deals better with demand for buildings if its steel-based rather than iron-based.
>>145961327
You need to be more specific, what do you want to know?
>>145961364
No need to thank me.
>Would it be possible to give the Dutch a permanent CB on the Indonesian uncivs, similar to how Russia has a CB on Central Asian countries?
I thought about it a few times. the UK also has one for some Indian tags IIRC. I will probably do it but not anytime soon.
>On that note, are Kunduz included in Russia's Great Game CB? They were never conquered in my recent game, but that might just be random chance.
Nope, I need to do that and add decisions/events for the delimitation of the modern borders.
>>145961539
Considering that the effect is called factory_goods_output = { canned_food = 0.02 }
I'm willing to wager it's factory only. Could still affect artisans though, I never really paid attention to this.
Tanks and Airplanes are a direct replacement to units, Tanks in the front line and Airplanes on the back. So technically, a good composition is a 1:1 ration with as much as you can.

The Norman army is completely destroyed, King Robert and his commanders are lucky to escape on the fleet back to Normaundie to gather more men for the fight. As the Pope runs back to Rome the Holy Land is empty save for a couple thousand brave Kentish and Cornish soldiers besieging Medina.
Christendom is at a MA of 45%, heresies are springing up all over Europe. Alas! The Pope returns to the Holy Land with one thousand men to aid the newly landed Gallovidian army of 5 thousand men and 6 courageous Mercians.

Upon reaching homelands, King Robert jumps into a rosebush in pursuit of a Dryad and wakes up beaten and bruised hours later.
Rumour reached the king that the Kentish and Cornish armies were no match for the enormous Muslim army who marched forward to Jerusalem after defeating the Christians in Medina. The Muslims met the Pope as he besieged Arsuf and slew his army, sparing the Pope so he could tell the Christians of the strength of Islam. The Pope returns to Rome as more English armies land and are slaughtered by the Muslims.
King Robert is informed of a fair child under the rosebush, which he adopted as his own, he was unsure whether he should legitimise this child of a dryad as his own as it would displease his relatives.
As he gathers his men to board the fleet back to the Levant, a courier reaches him to tell him that the Pope has called off the Crusade. The king and his men did not know how to respond, had God forsaken them?

The issue is that his views could influence the mod's direction.
Look at the old Modern Day Warfare mod for HOI2/DH. The political shit-flinging between the modders was so autistic that it killed the mod in the end because they couldn't get anything done and spent their time trying to interpret current events and how they thought history would view them.

>>145966195
Well to be fair he doesn't just say the US had something to do with it which is a valid belief/conspiracy.

doesn't change the fact the AI is still better than in hoi3, and thats what his question was about anyway.
I've been working on a more releasable nations mod but the flags are fucked up in the unit counter for some reason.
Should I still release it despite the bug or just scrap the project? The bug only shows up with certain countries and only in the medium flag view.
Also I've tried all sort of troubleshooting and I couldn't figure out why this is happening
Lads, I'm trying to play that Divergences meme, but every time I try to click on the Decisions tab, it crashes. Everything else seems to work perfectly fine, but it's just this one tab that instantly crashes the game. Any idea why?

>>145967692
>ai better than hoi3
>he seriously believes this
>>145967963
this is because when an encirclement happens a new frontline is created and they are removed from the offensive line, so you either have to create a new offensive line or micro the divisions to attack.

>incapable of forming encirclements of more than one or two provinces

How do you figure out the populations of areas with more recent census data?

>>145968137
did you even play hoi3 and use its AI? it was garbage to the point where you might as well just micromanage every division because they would never try to breakthrough enemy lines.

>>145968274
Things get really complicated when we get to that. If the data has was produced close to the desired date (isn't older than 20 years) I use growth data to calculate the average annual growth and I use that. If there's a big war or famine, or territorial change, that becomes impossible. It's also impossible to do that for a specific region or province.
I did have to do rarely and for really close spans (data newer or older than 1836 by 5 years or so). Data for some countries is almost impossible to find or the closest thing you can find is how many people died in a certain event.
>>145968447
I can't really do anything about the first, it's a very hit or miss thing. Maybe in the future I will make a few decisions to help Prussia so they try to stop other countries from involving themselves in German affairs, kinda like Bismarck managed sometimes.
>Japan keeps inviting me to their fight against Satsuma only to accept their white peace immediately
That's curious. What country you were playing as? They white peacesd after you joined the war? What if you didn't? What was the war CB?
>>145968621
Could just be a difference in how data is displayed. IIRC data isn't calculated everyday, it pools and it's only calculated at the end of the month for processing reasons. Maybe that explains the difference.

But they do kill people, they were on par with regular bombing only because the latter was more frequent. Having nukes kill absolutely no one and leave the province intact is really dumb.

No they don't just swastikas and nazi imagery. And they DID make a special version for Germany.

Because that implies that the democratic or normal South Africa of that time wasn't Apartheid? Apartheid South Africa is what we call pre- Mandelan reforms South Africa.

The problem you have, both for ethnic and population data, is that there was a big event that kinda disrupts this shit. The war changed a lot of stuff and a lot of muslims immigrated to escape the ottoman empire.

No, literally, a single bomber raid could cause more damage and deaths than a single nuke, see Dresden. Granted it would involve 1000 bombers at once.
> Having nukes kill absolutely no one and leave the province intact is really dumb.
They damage buildings and reduce ORG of the troops in the province, besides reducing NU.

That's my point, if they did make a special version without Hitler it means they had to. Because making special versions costs money and Paradox is a commercial company.

Well, yeah, you're right, but I can't see how that was caused by their ideology and not just poor research?

I know, I realize this, and quite honestly it screws up the ethnic map with russians, but with the resettlement of armenians, greeks, and russians into the area, the population wouldn't have changed that drastically.
The wikipedia page lists it as 80,000 muslims emigrating, so even if I took that at face value in 1836 the population would be 200,000
I just wish I had the sources they used, I don't know where the hell they got 800,000 people
>>145974365
Depends on a few factors
If have a decent amount of capitalists, and a lot of excess craftsmen, lower rich taxes so they have more capital to build factories
If you've got a good industrial base that's struggling to make a profit because they're importing goods that are made too expensive due to tariffs, lower those
If you're mostly self-sufficient when it comes to goods, lower taxes

>No, literally, a single bomber raid could cause more damage and deaths than a single nuke, see Dresden. Granted it would involve 1000 bombers at once.
Why are you even arguing which one killed more? Real life history isn't the same as a game, you expect most players to use only one or two nukes?
My point is that people die when either happens and that leaving the population number the same after multiple bombings or nukings is dumb.
>They damage buildings and reduce ORG of the troops in the province, besides reducing NU.
Yes a nuke wold only demoralize troops and destroy some buildings instead of doing pic related(to a person who was far way from the actually intended bombing locations) and damaging buildings even outside of that particular province.
>That's my point, if they did make a special version without Hitler it means they had to. Because making special versions costs money and Paradox is a commercial company.

But there is no "population number" in the game. There is manpower number but the effect of a single atomic bombing would be minimal.

How big do you think the damage radius was? Besides, it already damage factories in province, not in the region.
> couldn't it be argued that allowing such mods could affect Paradox's sales too?
You mean swastika and Hitler mods? All such mods I saw go an extra mile to show they in no way support Nazism and care only about historicity, so I don't think they will affect Paradox as a company. The deleted mod had some /pol/-tier agenda pushing, and then again, I think they overreacted.
> Because there is the common belief among liberals that any kind of government with hints of racism or racial policies/racism in general is always connected to Fascism.
Yeah, but I'm pretty sure people in Paradox know the difference between different kinds of fascism, nazism, statism and stuff. The problem is, they had to group them into an abstract "Fascist" block for gameplay reasons, and apartheid is the closes thing South Africa has to abstract nazi-fascism.

What you are saying doesn't even make sense, would you call communist America Franklin's America because it's the closest thing America got to actual communism?
And the apartheid policy wasn't the closest South Africa got to Fascism, there were active .fascist parties and even a percentage of the population who wanted to integrate with Nazi Germany.

Every single province will has a base number. This can be improved through administrative means (ala development in eu4). Different modifers will "promote" difference classes; i.e the base number will get higher for a certain period of time.
Soldiers / officers won't be a pop, and will be a % of total population of a country, and will be represented as manpower.

The overall result of the battle had been alraldy decided by the Kotluban Operations, plus Stalingrad itself was not as important was Hitler and the German generals thought.

HPM, I have been observing severe scarcity of ammunition so far. It's so far been due to lack of access to iron.
Also, in the cases in which all inputs are acquired in sufficient amounts, i find the production of ammunition to be insufficient.
Perhaps ammunition factories can get an output boost via inventions?
I propose substituting iron for steel as way to help out. I believe that the game is better at handling high demand of factory goods than from RGOs. Your thoughts?
>>145978956
Being able to improve province life rating would be a good idea tho.
But yea removing soldiers and officers is the most Paradox thing to do. So this will also mean that POPs will not have preference for any political party since that was the main use of soldiers.

Hello most powerful race in the world here. I want to live out my fantasies of "what if the Philippines never had corrupt rulers" and rule the world. But every single Paradox game the Philippines is handicapped as fuck. literally no natural resources. Zero. Even with the Philippines having steel in Vicky2 now they have none in HoI4. Philippines is rich in resources but the games have none of it.
Any of the modern age mods for Vicky2 are incomplete and didn't adjust for new population sizes. They just made new borders, tech and decisions. Its damn stupid. I don't want to mod myself because it feels like cheating, done it a few times.
What hope is there for me? Will Paradox release a modern day GSG that gives opportunity to rising nations? BRICS and the Next Eleven?

There's still quite a lot to do. In the desert department the Kyzyl Kum, Thar and the Gobi deserts need to be done. Afghanistan, Persia and the ME also need to be redone, not to mention the Carpathians and Tibet.

Have you ever done any other mods?
>>145982609

>>145982740

I just realize HoI4 has theaters, army groups and armies/fronts. You just don't get bonus from them like HoI3. But you can still get bonus from making plans. It's also more flexible and easy to transfer divisions than HoI3 OBB. Pretty good.

Just wait for the 5 russians who bought the game to download the mods then re-upload them somewhere else

everytime the event pops up and it's talking about Zog, I have to remind myself that it isn't "Zionist Occupied Government"

If a new mod comes out, the Russians have to take SOME time to get the mod and upload it.

There is no layered OOB in hoi4, armies exist, but we don't have army groups, HQ divisions, divisions, corps, etc. You also do get a large combat efficiency and communication bonus to having your troops in a proper OOB.
Just a silly question. When you upgrade a unit
Going from 10 inf, to 7 inf, 3 art...the equipment of those "disbanded" infantry brigades as the manpower is returned?
Furthermore, when you upgrade your units, new -let's say infantry- equipment 1 is sent to your units and equipment 0 is sent back to your stockpile.
Is there anything you can do with that? Is it gonna be used for lower priority units?
