Well from what i understand Grand Strategy games are pretty niche so if you don't buy the games, people stop making them. Also I'm a fan of steam integration for achievements etc, it's a lot less messy than piracy.

The matter which Baudouin referred to in his meeting with Ducs Boudewijn and Honfroy comes to a head on the 1st of January 1195, the date of his birth. Baudouin V is eighteen years old; young to marry, to be sure, but as the only member of the Aleramici dynasty living in Jerusalem, and with the persistent threat of Guy de Lusignan making attempts on his life in the name of his own son's succession, it is more critical than usual that Baudouin marry quickly.
The market for brides, however, is not strong. Baudouin has two possible options: his own half-aunt, Isabelle d'Anjou, or the sister of the current Byzantine Emperor, the Kaisarissa Eirene. Unfortunately, there are problems with both. While marrying Isabelle would strengthen his own claim to the throne and eliminate a rival claimant simultaneously, even as a half-aunt only, a marriage with Isabelle would be consanguineous, an irreligious proposition which Baudouin V wishes to avoid at all costs.
On the other hand, the Kaisarissa represents her own problems, not least of which is her faith, and the age of her brother, the current Basileios. In marrying Eirene Baudouin stands to gain a strong ally, but only if the Basileia Rhomaion manages to survive a long regency under its current three-year-old Basileius, and even if it does survive it, it may well need the help of the Kingdom to do so, potential expenditures of time, money, and manpower which Baudouin V is uncertain he wishes to make in the name of preserving a schismatic state. And there is, of course, the matter of Eirene's own schismatic beliefs; Baudouin could obviously never marry anyone but a Catholic, and she would be required to convert to join hands with him.
Ultimately, Baudouin decides to take the risk with Eirene and agree to a marriage with the Basileius's Regent, the Strategos Manuel Laskaris, on the condition that Eirene convert to Catholicism on or before the date of her majority, in two years' time.

None of the three main cultures really get along with each other very well. The Tigray complain the Amhara were in power for thousands of years, the Oromo complain they never got power. The only ones that are usually happy are the Amhara.
Anyway, it's like that so they don't assimilate. Since there's no oromo tag, if they aren't accepted they will assimilate.

It seems that Princesse Isabelle did not anticipate the concern which Baudouin placed upon consanguinity; to be sure, she did not approve of his choice of a marriage with the Basileius's sister. She began to furiously scheme to end the life of Baudouin's mother to remove other claimants to the throne and pave the way for her own ascension--unfortunately, too loudly for her own good. Baudouin's spymaster, Duc Honfroy, caught her quickly, and Baudouin, now in his majority, was easily able to secure the council's support for her imprisonment.
"Let her rot there for the remainder of her days," Baudouin commanded. "I wish only that all other traitors who acted so against their King were also brought justice." Few needed to ask to whom he was referring.
>>147350051
can you decrease the MTTH of the 'disloyal regiment' event? especially if you're a colonial power, you see it practically 3 times a year by the latter half of the game.
If you want to balance things, I suppose you could increase its effects by upping the militancy it causes?

How long does it take before you jump back to 24.99 infamy in HPM?
I went over the infamy limit in 1880 and now it's 1916 and I just got an event that extended my isolation til 1936, this is ridiculous lmao.
Also beaten everyone who tried to attack me (only 2 GPs did)

Aight lets see....
Japan doesnt colonize Asia with pops when they did exacly that in Korea. Korea had 10% population of Japanese in 30 years (1905-1935).
Not sure about Formosa but id assume same things happened.
Formosa/Korea should get minor event that gives you a modifier which does nothing that expires in 30-40 years. Once it pops you should get cores.
Also nobody wants to move to Korea from anywhere like its hell on earth or something.
Now India....all provinces in India are worth basically nothing in victory score which means you cannot push Brits outside of India properly - it takes too many wars and its too costly infamy wise. India forming nations should have couple peace decisions (like one Japan has for China to get Formosa) to push Brits out of India in 3-4 wars.
Neither of these two things are anything obscure and easy to implement so well...take it into consideration.

As his wife and, to a certain extent, his ward, Eirene accompanied Baudouin most everywhere. In spite of her husband's constant presence, however--or, more accurately, because of it--she soon became bitter over his treatment of her. For so long as she refused to convert, he refused to touch her, or even to discuss anything with her save religion. It had been over eight months, and he had not consummated their marriage, and indeed had told her flatly he had no intention of doing so until she bowed to the Pope!
Every time they spoke, it was about how her faith was devoid of all truth. He went on for so long about religion that Eirene actually did pick up a great deal, but only because it was all they ever spoke about, in spite of being man and wife.

Japan can colonize Korea and Formosa with pops already with the current mechanics, there's no need to railroad that.
>Formosa/Korea should get minor event that gives you a modifier which does nothing that expires in 30-40 years. Once it pops you should get cores.
Same with that, they can get cores there with the integration mechanics without any specific event just for Japan.

Show me your game where Korea has any Japanese population.
Game is treating Korea/Formosa like some minor European colony when it was supposed to be Ireland.

>>147352107
So basically...you remember someone else did it properly (and he probably used craftsman exploit for it) few months ago? No links no pics, no anything?
Also your argument for India is -
>if you become free you should wait for last 30 years of the game before you liberate India
>you also have to do it alone so another GP doesnt take any colonies
Sure thing. It sounds very plausible that India had to invade Britain by sea for its independence.
>>147351027
>Japan doesnt colonize Asia with pops when they did exacly that in Korea. Korea had 10% population of Japanese in 30 years (1905-1935).
Pops decide to move on their own, that depends on a lot of things. Unemployment, militancy along other things factor if a pop decide for colonial migration. Then it can decide to go to any of Japan colonies.
In game terms that means that a british pop sees Calcutta or Melbourne the same way when deciding where to go, unless one has high unemployment or something.
I don't think it's specially necessary to make them go to Korea or any other place really, especially since Korea is usually one of the few colonies they get if they aren't going for Vietnam.
Even if I did something (increase in immigrant attraction) it wouldn't guarantee any result at all as the japanese could simply decide not leave.
I don't think they should get cores in these places for free, especially considering the lack of any historical ownership of ethnic claims.
>all provinces in India are worth basically nothing in victory score
I can't change how much provinces are worth in victory score. The good thing about that is that they also don't cost almost anything to demand, so you can demand almost all of india in a single war before you hit the 100 WS cap.
If you need WS and you can get ticking warscore, though that only goes to 50%. You can probably get all of India in 3 warscores if you stay under 50 VPs for your demands.
> India forming nations should have couple peace decisions (like one Japan has for China to get Formosa) to push Brits out of India in 3-4 wars.
The thing about India is that nationalism didn't really hit it until way later. During the sepoy rebelion most princes sided with the British and the independent sovereigns were really keen in staying that way, which is why the British got the land so easily.
Well I'm sure you know all that but what I mean is, India is a prized possession. I don't think they would give it out easily.

It was probably late when I wrote that, or I would have tried to make it more detailed.
Not only is this the beginning of this AAR, though, considering the broad scope and timeline of this one I'm really struggling on what deserves a post and what doesn't. Her plotting absolutely does, but does it also deserve the usual 10-15 minutes I invest into making really detailed posts for major events, or, because its impact is questionable, should I bang it out in 5 minutes to try to proceed a little faster?
It's a question neither you or I can answer at this point, it's something I'll need to figure out just by experience over the course of the AAR, but it's part of the reason why there are so many updates over such a short span of years, undoubtedly. I'm still modifying my opinion on what's post-worthy and what isn't.
>>147351987
He's not just a zealot, he's an incredibly well-read zealot. He was not only raised by the Bishop of Jerusalem, but also read the bible and other religious texts voraciously, to the extent that he's probably more qualified to be a Bishop than most in his realm are.
Also, conversion upon marrying into a royal family of a different confession is common anyway, from the Middle Ages to today. Orthodoxy applies to that convention as well.
>>147352616
There are too many provinces in India for Infamy to tank it up. You have to take even the small ones (like the Hymalayas) for it.
Also Sepoy rebbelion is a joke - i had it force its goal on GB and all it gave was basically 1 province Indian satellite.
>>147352616
HPM is there any way to change ticking warscore for certain CBs, or is that stuff hardcoded? I had a game recently where I as a European nation was occupying a Balkan state to puppet it, when it somehow got in the U.S. sphere of influence. Me occupying it gave barely nothing to warscore along with no ticking warscore since that CB didn't have any so I had to invade and occupy most of the U.S.

>>147351794
In my latest test game they have around 2.3% Japanese across Korea. I think that's pretty good considering how late they conquered.
To be fair though, all japanese there are unemployed. It seems Korea is overcrowded, which causes unemployment and pops not wanting to move there.
Taiwan frequently suffered the same problem, which a massive 300K north hand pop deciding to move tot he island and becoming unemployed, then no one would want to live there.
I fixed that for Taiwan, I can try and see if the same thing will solve the problem in Korea.
Thanks for bringing this up, by the way.
>>147351232
By the time Eirene came of age, she was a different woman than the one Baudouin had married. She had entirely abandoned her previously diplomatic nature; her polite, if haughty, manner had given way to aloof arrogance, refusing to communicate with her husband in anything but Greek (his was broken, which she went to great lengths to subtly mock) and refusing to speak on religion entirely. When he reminded her that she must convert by the terms of their marriage, she laughed in his face and told him that "you shall not have your wife's body, or an heir of it, until you disabuse yourself of the ridiculous notion that I shall ever bow and scrape before the Christ YOU call God."
That, for Baudouin, was the last straw. He left the room, ordered his Connetable, Joscelin, to confine her to the palace, and made preparations for a pilgrimage to Rome. He intended to meet with the Pontifex Maximus personally, if possible, to request an annulment from the "traitorous meretrix," as he referred to her.

I think a smaller threshold for pop migration would be helpful for solving this kind of stuff. I would try lowering the unemployment requirements for internal migration a little bit.
If we have a more constant stream of migrants the immigration attraction nf would also become a lot more useful.

I can't really forbid the US from sphering anyone. As a GP they try to sphere the same way any other GP does, though they should theoretically prioritize south america.
Even so I try to tip the scales to stop them from doing that. They start with their diplomatic influence in Afghanistan, for example, set to hostile and at -10 relations.
I will keep an eye out to see if they are still trying to do retarded shit but they will never stop sphering easy targets with high pops because it's simply too good for the AI to ignore.

Although Baudouin was not able to meet with the Pope personally, he was able to deliver a missive to the College of Cardinals for the Pontiff's eyes, detailing his situation and begging, "as a great man of faith and the bastion of Catholicism in the Orient," to be freed from his spousal requirements towards Eirene. Shortly after Baudouin returned--he did not even set foot into Eirene's chambers, nor did he ever speak to her again--he received a response from the Pope, granting him his desired annulment "with all blessing from the Church." Eirene Angelos was unceremoniously thrown on a Venetian transport, sans half her goods, and on the way to Constantinople by the end of the evening.
Unfortunately, Baudouin's misstep with Eirene had cost him. Marrying his half-aunt Isabelle was no longer an option following her traitorous attempt to have his own mother assassinated, and there was no worthy Christian power in his vicinity which could offer up an heir of any sort. Yet determined to make the minimal Greek he had learned useful and to spite the Angelos clan, Baudouin reached out to Doux Manuel Komnenos of Cyprus and recieved his blessing to marry his sister, also named Eirene. This Eirene, however, was twenty years old, old enough to agree on her own to convert upon arriving in Jerusalem, albeit at the price of sparing her brother the necessity of paying a dowry and being named the designated regent for any children the couple might have, concessions Baudouin was, albeit reluctantly, willing to make.

I won't change it from vanilla. The problem with Taiwan and Korea seems to be being overcrowded, which is a reasonable thing to stop migration. If we remove that people would just move to a place, become unemployed and the unemployment would snowball.
I already fixed that in Taiwan, I will fix it in Korea. No sense in changing colonial migration for that.

That's more then I expected. Is there any way to check if it could work for occupying territory the CB is used for? I think it would make those CBs much more worth using compared to standard territory taking CBs if so.
Related but is there a way to mod ticking war score for either fulfilling or not fulfilling a wargoal for all CBs that have it? For me ticking warscore is just a little too weak in Vicky and leads to wars taking far longer then they should even when goals are accomplished, and I wanted to mess with it personally.

For this one I defased the Ethiopian tricolour with a minor detail symbol found in the Derg coat of arms. I thought that, even though it's taken from a supposedly communist coat of arms, it was symbolically appropiate. Plus, it was a very minor detail in the original CoA, and thus I think its actual association with communism is negligible.

Joy of joys! Following a harsh increase of taxes on Muslims in Jerusalem--and, it cannot be denied, a few localized pogroms--Bishop Renaud is able to report that Catholicism has become the majority religion in the city of Jerusalem and its immediate surroundings. Baudouin, who had long desired to be the King who finally turned Jerusalem into a Christian city once again, is overjoyed. "God in heaven tasked me with expanding Christianity, and I said: let His will be done!"
Now, however, Baudouin is left with something of a predicament. While conversion will undoubtedly continue elsewhere, having already achieved the greatest feat he holds to be possible, Baudouin is less interested in personally taking a hand in further efforts. He now contemplates whether he should focus upon grooming an heir--which would, of course, require him to first sire one--or to take advantage of the momentary distraction of the French, thanks to a particularly vicious succession crisis currently occurring in England. If ever a war were to be launched with the goal of returning Jerusalemite territories to the fold, now, when King Philippe is marching through England, is undoubtedly the best of times to begin it.
His wife--"my true Eirene," as he calls her, much to her satisfaction--begs him to entertain the former. "We have tried and tried for a child," she implores him, "and yet naught has come of our efforts. Yet you are always so busy, my King, so busy... and I would so desperately like to try harder," she mumbles with a slight blush.
"We shall try once again now, my Eirene, and tomorrow, and all the more soon enough," he promised her with a kiss. "But matters of Christ Jesus must take precedence, I fear," he continued with a sigh, "and I fear the Kingdom shall not be safe until there are no more men sworn to Philippe who live within it. I detest to do so... but war with France must come first, I think.
"And then, my dear, I promise: we shall have our family."

>I won't change it from vanilla. The problem with Taiwan and Korea seems to be being overcrowded, which is a reasonable thing to stop migration. If we remove that people would just move to a place, become unemployed and the unemployment would snowball.
I should have explained myself better. I was talking about lowering the requirements for a pop to leave their home province, and not about lowering them when choosing where to go.
Right now in a normal game situation the farmers/labourers can be up to 20% unemployed before they start to move around.
Pops should migrate and change jobs with a little more ease in those situations I think. But maybe it would be too taxing for the cpu.

On the 1st of November, King Baudouin brought the matter of a war with France before his Council. Predictably, Duc Boudewijn was firmly against the proposal, mostly because his own son, Comte Philippe, was ruling his territories in France in his stead, and any conflict with King Philippe placed him at risk. Surprisingly, however, Jerusalem's Spymaster, Duc Honfroy, agreed with Boudewijn in spite of the two actually being at war against one another. "Forgive my impertinence, Your Grace," Honfroy told the King, "but a war with the Kingdom of France is foolish in the extreme. King Philippe is not only immensely powerful, he is likewise immensely rich; the vastness of the sea is not like to save us. I agree the realm must be returned to unity, but such a goal would be better undertaken with subtlety than war."
Baudouin, predictably, overrode him. "I will not plot against the lives of a good Christian lord, especially not one whose only crime was to be related to Comte Raimond!" he spat. "I respect your work, Honfroy, but so long as I rule, you are to protect me from plots, not begin them on your own. This matter can be solved without placing the lives of any of Christ's noble children at risk."
To the displeasure of Boudewijn, Honfroy, and, it must be admitted, Eirene, the majority of Baudouin's council agreed with him: subterfuge was far too underhanded and time-consuming. Jerusalem must be made whole, and quickly. The very same day the Council met, a missive was dispatched to King Philippe (and, indeed, King Baudouin counted on it taking a long time to arrive) announcing Jerusalemite seizure of his vassals' territory in the Kingdom.

I'm trying to test now, and I was wondering if anyone had noticed anything weird so far. I've been seeing lots of rebellions but that makes sense. AI has actually been peaceing out of wars before they are completely annihilated (which is what I'm looking for) but there haven't been a lot of AI declarations of war--at least, not enough for me, which is why I increased AI aggro by a metric shitton. They are now a lot more likely to go to war, and I'm going to have to test to see if that accurately balances out against their reduced military strength.

Oh, before I forget, I made a new communist Israel flag, based on the original symbol of the Israeli communist party. However I wanted to ask you something about it.
Apparently the Israeli communist party was a merger of both Arab-Palestinian and Jewish communist groups that formed that unified party, which is why the symbol has both arab and hebrew text. I was wondering if maybe communist Israel should have a decision to get whatever Palestinian culture is called as accepted, with maybe huge militancy to Ashkenazim and Sephardim or any Jewish POPs as punishment.

Haven't come up with monarchy and fascist yet, but I think you should replace the Republic flag with this one.

Yeah, I forgot that having a factory on the state evens it all out.
Anyway, I guess I'll just test some changes myself and see what works. But some tweaking is needed for sure. In provinces with a lot of pop growth like Tokyo unemployement for farmers is common because there are too many of them for the rgo size, and they don't leave or promote/demote fast enough to even it out even if you have a nf on the province continuously. Increasing the rgo size is not a realistic solution really (hundreds of thousands of farmers on a small, highly urbanized area?). This increases militancy and you end up with 100k stacks of rebels every few months by end game. Annoying.
But I'll stop bothering you with it for now.

It's a pretty flag, but I don't really agree with your suggestion.
Remember that accepted is as much as being accepted as is accepting the rule of someone. One thing that I learnt during the time I worked in Jordan is that they (Arabs also Muslims in general) really, REALLY, hate jews. You don't fully realize the extent of their hatred until you discuss politics and Israel with Muslims living in the ME.
Second thing is, it would allow Israel to blob all over the ME, possible to places like Saudi Arabia or Mecca, with accepted cultures.

Oh, I know. A few other places have that problem too (like the UK and Germany late game). Ireland is also a stark example of this.
I'm trying to solve that, I'm testing faster promotions (just a bit) and emigration during situations of high unemployment. Only natural to extend to colonial migration since they use the same parameters for unemployment affect migration chance.

Alright about the Israel thing, but then what about the amhara-oromo thing? I mean yeah I get its like that for gameplay reasons but there's gotta be a way to fix that. Same shit with afro-american being accepted in the US, there is no way you could call them an accepted culture in 19th century and early 20th century USA. But of course if they weren't accepted they would assimilate really fast.
I was struggling with the same thing for a silly mexico alt-his I was making, which featured a new criollo (white spainish-descent settler) as primary culture but a lot of mexicans just assimilated. I found some file I forgot what it was now but I think it was pop_types, and I changed something in there that made it seem like the problem was fixed (lessening assimilation chance for any pop with culture mexican) but when testing it all it did is fuck with migration arbitrarily.
