I thought the whole point of going from CK to EU was to highlight the shift from great people to the masses of people as the driving force in politics.

What bothers me about these events (and the ones from Goy Dorado) is how fucking poorly written they are. They jump all over the place, switching from first to third person, from historical background info to fluffy roleplay shit, often with broken grammar and odd punctuation. Shit is just unprofessional.

Also it's hilarious that some indian woman (>>96644167) whose main accomplishment appears to be stealing a pair of dairy cows gets a fucking essay with all manner of random info about her life crammed into it without structure, while Catherine the Great gets four sentences (>>96644395).

>>96647850
planes are the best defensive unit in the game. All plane stacks are viable. Tanks are like whatever fuck them and dont use them. Guards used to be a direct improvement to infantry but aren't after HOD and are basically useless now. Your comp should still be something like 5-6inf 1 eng 4art. The engineer isn't too necessary if you are just attacking.

They amount of engineers don't give you any better bonuses, only necessary to have one. More art is good, but all casualties need to be coming from your front line (infantry) or you will be getting fucked.
>>96648365
Engineers give you dig in cap while defending, which can give pretty good roll boosts. They also speed up occupation, my bad.

>>96648668
>Engineers give you dig in cap while defending, which can give pretty good roll boosts.
No they don't. Dig in cap is based on tach and enemy recon reduces it.

>They also speed up occupation, my bad.
Yeah, but it's not too useful once you've won the battles.
>>
>>96649191
Forts don't do anything in battle.

>>96649508
I don't think so, I haven't seen him for ages.
>>
>>96649385
The wiki says that forts deflect 10% of incoming damage per level.
>>
>>96649613
I think some mods might change it so forts give more dig in value or speed up gaining dig in but they don't do anything on their own
>>
>>96649191
You're right m8 I thought differently, you can get dig in without any engineers. I still feel like they make it faster or something. Idk. They are only useful now for seiges, just checked it in game
>>
>>96649385
Forts give +10% tactics per level. High level forts are ridiculous. And it does apply even if you are attacking the enemy standing on your territory.
>>
>>96650229
The rate at which dig in increases is in defines.lua and nothing changes it.
>>
>>96650237
Neat, is that shown anywhere in game? Time to stop building forts anywhere but defensive chokepoints
>>
>>96650237
>And it does apply even if you are attacking the enemy standing on your territory.
As in you get the advantage on offense? I've always avoided building forts since the AI usually doesn't attack unless you bait them and always just rushes into your open territory as quickly as they can.

>>96650376
Not shown anywhere or even directly moddable. But it's testable.

Do you know of any ways to control rebellions or change what they do for a specific country?

One of the problems I overlooked with the EIC minimod is rebels freeing them from the UK, during my testing it wasn't a problem since all their rebels were nationalists but now I've made them unciv they have reactionaries.
>>
>>96651958
Sure.

>>96652128
You could make it so it's impossible fore reactionary rebels to spawn in the EIC or you could make it so they are automatically inherited if they break free.

But you can control what rebels do by using the on_demands_enforced form the rebels_types.txt

Fascist Flanders has a weird black and yellow sunrise flag which makes no sense. The flag of the Vlaams Nationaal Verbond would be far, far more logical. Pic related. flag of the VNV, which is also Belgium's current Fascist flag which also makes no sense.

Also, Fascist Wallonia and Belgium should have the Rexist flag, which I've already told you about for Belgium at least.

A number of other countries will also be cut, mainly because they don't work well with the global economy. Uncivs especially, the game works in a way that sphering or conquering an unciv is actually helping them.

Because of that, the Johore sultanates are being cut and I made events for the AI to be aggressive towards some specific minors, like Sikkim, to avoid them starving to death

FWIW it works fine in vickymod. What I do is modify RELATION_INFLUENCE_MODIFIER in defines.lua, which controls the penalty/bonus to sphering from relations. As it is the penalty is almost meaningless.

I put it at 200, which means that at -200 relations you have a -100% penalty, so you are completely incapable of sphering a nation who absolutely hates you unless you use add to sphere wargoal. With this a moderate -25 to -50 opinion penalty is enough to ward off the USA from 100% control of the continent for at least the 19th century.

That's kinda what happened IRL and it happens in vanilla too. Back in AHD one tech tree even reduced RGO size to encourage emigration and industrialization.

HPMguy, I look forward to you implementing Australian states as seperate entities Because I couldn't figure out how to do the federation without railroading everything to hell
Also, Fiji and Tonga should form by event similar to Seneussi, because they are in civil war at the start but later unite and have actual foreign diplomacy in fact Tonga was never actually collonized and Fiji asked for annexation after they ran out of money, and Tahiti should exist from game start, since they were a centralized kingdom and only annexed to France directly in the 1880s
And also Australia/Queensland should get an event to colonize Papua in 1883, since they actually went ahead and did it without first getting approval from Britain
I wrote some flavor text but I doubt I'll actually go ahead with doing more... again

>>96656090
Education spending should be at max pretty much all the time

Army composition is a matter of intense debate but basically you want lots of artillery, and bear in mind artillery and engineers fight in the back while infantry and horses fight in the front and backline in frontline because of not enough frontline is BAD

high infamy isn't much of an issue but it causes passive problems, over 25 is BAD

Just the focuses and picking options that align with parties you support in events

you went over 25 infamy

Yes but it's a matter of intense debate as to which, you can't go wrong with NNM and seeing what mods do what for where to go from there. HPM is made by a guy who posts here a lot so he can help you out with issues and take suggestions.

I'm not sure, I was mainly looking towards Korea/Japan when it comes to buffs but I think I would have to buff other asian countries to compensate too.

Given some of the forces they could raise by even the end of the 16th century (150k) I'll probably try something like 50 for a unified Japan right off the bat.

Federation in Australia happened from compromise between all the states, and primarily Victoria and NSW, rather than from any central authority implementing it. But because federation only historically happens in 1898, there's a chance that some states wont actually be British puppets, and if a player controlled West Australia for example, managed to outpace NSW and Victoria or them not even existing for some reason it wouldn't make sense for the federation events to focus on them. The other option I thought about was having a crazy system of actually going around and asking every australian state about federation individually, similar to the balkan conference, but that just seems needlessly elaborate. Finally, I think the best solution would be to have any australian state that meets some requirements, like being a secondary power and having revolution n counterrevolution researched be able to just unilateraly form australia and then everybody else getting events to join it, but it still seems pretty wonky with regard to some states being british puppets and others not.

In every game communism and fascism never get a real chunk of ideology unless you get crazy revanchism.
