Paradox Interactive Megathread V1 - "Rebels, Rebels Everywhere!"

[Frayyyy]

If it keeps crashing on a specific day it likely isn't your actions that are doing it but something else with the game. Might be worth seeing if there is any reported issues like that in the HOI3 troubleshooting section

[scout1]

I grabbed the 4.02 update which fixes several CTDs related to undefined OOB locations and that seems to have fixed it

100 Years of passed since my last post it is now 1699, the New World is interesting, Texas and the UPCA broke off from the Mayan Tribal Country of Otomis.

Mexico exists as a Kingdom, under King George II Lancaster, I'm assuming it is a break away from a European Country

Holland, France, Portugal, Spain GB, Sweden and Aragon have some colonies.

Is that the game where they kicked a dude for trying to play as UK because it would be "too hard"?

No, this was the game of jolly-good cooperation and friendship.

Man I want to play Hearts of Iron 3 in MP but I don't know how.

Tomorrow, does anyone want to play with me? Please?

Oh, did they say it was a coop game?
Because if so that guy's fucking retarded.
Either way he was a pretty big dick about it. Is the game still going on or are they done for now?

The Pope won't let me join a Crusade as Scotland. Obviously he just fear William Wallace will take all the glory of the Holy Land campaign.

[yawmwen]

what the fuck the pope actually declines crusade requests?

[QUOTE=yawmwen;39603205]what the fuck the pope actually declines crusade requests?[/QUOTE]
Apparently. I thought I might not be able to because I was in the middle of besieging the Duke of the Isles, but I could still send the request. He just said "No fuck you, I don't need you meddling in my wars ya Scotch cunt". (Slightly paraphrased)

[lifehole]

[QUOTE=yawmwen;39603205]what the fuck the pope actually declines crusade requests?[/QUOTE]

Ehh, if he doesn't want certain nations expanding, people with bad investiture laws, excommunicated, low piety, etc.

Or eleven thousand armored and fanatical gifthorses lead by an amazing military ruler who has devoted his entire life as horse king to destroying Cathar Ireland.

So, after I made the USA a Puppet (which made my name skew across them, lol) I decided to disperse the power balance among our little north american alliance with changeowner cheats. I gave canada Alaska's 2 gold producing provinces, Washington, Oregon, and half of Idaho. I removed their holdings in Montana & North Dakota.

I gave the CSA California, Washington, West Virginia, and half of Pennsylvania.

Gave the USA Montana, North Dakota, and the high pop states of Missouri and Kentucky.

I added Deseret as a neutral state because Nevada stood out a bit. Funnily enough, they immediately turned into a presidential dictatorship under the reactionary "Mormon People's Party."

I think I balanced out North America well enough. CSA and USA both have about 4.5 Million, Canada has 2.5, I have 5.0. In North America anyways. In Africa I have about 17-18 million.

These pop values are ofcourse active pops/working-age male/a fourth of the "real" pop.

Here's a world map.

What mod are you using? I don't think I've ever seen Canada called 'The Kingdom of Canada'.

Decided to end me MEIOU game at 1838, here is the fucked up world, if you want to know who is where just ask.

So I found out why the UK in my game is getting prestige out of the arse, which as I stopped for today, is somewhere around 190k. It appears they're in a constant loop with this decision to release Australia that constantly fires every now and then. The odd thing is, they don't even own any of Australia whatsoever.

In other news, Great War was finally discovered much later than I anticipated, around 1908 or so. Usually it takes some country to discover about it in the 1870s in all the games I've played. Convert games can be so weird sometimes.

I modified the governments name mod. It didn't make sense for Canada to be "The Dominion of Canada" as an HMS, because they were completely independent.

Other than that I'm using APD/PDM.

I usually just force their Government type to Democracy using events if they're fully independent, although their democracy flag is the modern Canadian flag.

Event 60000 Proletarian Dictat.
Event 60010 Presidential Dictat.
Event 60020 Bourgeois Dictat.
Event 60030 Fascist Dictat.
Event 60040 Absolute Monarchy
Event 60050 Democracy
Event 60060 Prussian Constitutionalism
Event 60070 HM's Government

I just noticed, the MEIOU mod uses the Victoria 2 Map instead of the EU3 map, I didn't even notice until comparing them.

[DaysBefore]

Oh I didn't know you surrender without question when warscore hits -100. That sucks. I had finally regrouped the remnants of my army and had smashed the Duke of Lancaster when all of a sudden I surrender and my distant Spanish cousin is named King of England. Ten years later all of England and Ireland rose against him and now it's a ducal free for all.

[Frayyyy]

I don't recall surrendering instantly at -100, did you have a war leader?

[DaysBefore]

[QUOTE=Frayyyy;39610287]I don't recall surrendering instantly at -100, did you have a war leader?[/QUOTE]
Just me defending the Kingdom of England from my bastard cousin. Their original leader, the Duke of Northumberland, was killed fighting in Ireland, but I still surrendered without question.

[yawmwen]

[QUOTE=Frayyyy;39610287]I don't recall surrendering instantly at -100, did you have a war leader?[/QUOTE]

it's needed because there is no "breaking" or "annex" system like in eu3, hoi3, etc.

[editline]16th February 2013[/editline]

if you were given a choice you could just sit there with them occupying all their territory until they get into another war then hire mercs and stomp them.

[editline]16th February 2013[/editline]

at least i think you could

Ah I get it, that makes sense. I've never had -100 WS in a war that I was personally leading and assumed that since the AI has sat against me with -100 then the player probably plays by the same rules

Anyone up for a HoI3 TFH game?
