That's a vanilla event. Play brazil for a few years and it keeps popping up between the majority population and "african minor".

No, he's referring to the changed flags/nation colors.
No i mean. The colors are different and the nations flag is rectangular vs circular.
Here’s my quick guide for the USA from a Hearts of Iron 3 playthrough
[b]Fighting in Europe[/b] – If you can sneak your transport ships around to the north of England, you can dock them near cornwall. Bring along marine infantry, since they have an immediate bonus on sea invasions. Start a D-Day around Caen, by thrusting a spearhead of marines in from the north. The British will quickly seize the opportunity to dump a ton of troops through the lines. After that, France will hopefully be liberated, and you can rely on the Brits and French to finish the job. If France isn’t liberated, send normal infantry and make a defensive line around your landing zones. There, you will be able to let the British pass through your own lines and do the brunt of the fighting, where you will be able to slip some brigades into the fights as well. The Soviets will hopefully distract the Germans enough for you to swing in to Italy. The Italians have most of their troops stationed in southern France, so if you can get behind them, it’s a straight shot to Rome. Puppet Italy and use them as a refueling station to finish off the Germans.
It worked for me relatively well, so I guess it should work for you.
Do you need Legacy of Rome to reestablish the Pentarchy? I don't have the DLC, but things like factions, standing armies (none I can make, but plenty of AI ones), factional Patriarchies and self-improvement ambitions work, but I can't seem to fuck over Catholicism despite owning all the Pentarchy cities.
There aren't standing armies if you don't have LoR, nor are the AI allowed any if you don't have it either.

The armies look way different from the normal levy armies, though. Not that standing armies were my problem, anyway.
Heh, there is a bug right now in the MCP, there is an event or what ever that allows countries to apply for America Statehood if they border the states, but the restrictions are not working properly at the moment, so sometimes you can have Spain, Mexico or even then UK apply since they border America (Spain owning Cuba counts as bordering the US)

The CSA won the war, goal was Status Quo so it looks like what it does in the image, and as soon as the war ended, the Netherlands and Liberia became US states, and both the CSA and USA declared war on Mexico to take Utah and Nevada.
[b]Fighting The Soviet Union as Germany[/b] – Well this fight was quite obvious. Your initial intentions will [i]not[/i] be ‘Drach Nach Osten’, since you will have a larger tactical advantage if you conquer them instead. Hopefully you will be quite stable in west Europe. Set all forces to a blitzing stance on the eastern front. You will break a large portion of their forces, but once their surrender progress is on the rise, set to defensive. Mobilize as many armor units as you can, even though they require more supplies, Soviet infantry always have some sort of advantage over German. If you can set up a strong line, set them again to a blitz stance. Support your weaker brigades with air, and have a healthy amount of supply planes. Once you pass Stalingrad, set your units to attacking stance. The Japanese, hopefully not too involved in China or against the US, will attack the Soviets in Manchuria. The Soviet forces will be strung out and divided severely. A slow and steady pace is recommended, for if the Soviets get the “Great Patriotic War Event”, you can strand some of your troops. Surround Moscow immediately when you get the chance, and assault as soon as you can. After Moscow falls, the Soviet Union will be so close to surrender, you need just twiddle your thumbs and wait.

I like how the system seems much more refined, but the game seems really, [I]really[/I] crash prone when anything big is involved.

Also does anyone got a link to that untransparent map mod? Filefront took the file down.
So I'm sitting on my throne in the Empire of Francia, fingering maps as I plot my next conquest. Something north, perhaps? I glance over at denmark. It's gold.
...Gold?

LIBERATION
Push further, wipe out the Papal scum, only Rome and the Pentarchy will survive.
Shortly afterwards the GH pushed even further west, taking all the area above bohemia. Shortly after the pope called a crusade for poland.

If they're blobbing that badly, how are the Byzantines holding out?
Here's an image

At the moment it seems they lost a bit of border territory to the horde, and then sarkel broke free. Sarkel is currently kicking their ass all over their northern territories, so it seems sarkel will be free.
Free to be invaded themselves, rather!
As another note, I played around with weak claims again. I'd always been wary of trying them since it says they'll only become my vassal if they're my de jure liege or a member of my family or something. Well I had a vassal's bishop that had a claim on upper burgundy, which has a huge amount of provinces. So I declared on the HRE and sent my armies off. Forming up 150k~ men is quite a bothersome so as usual I set local rally points and split my men into roughly 4 armies of 30k each. Well the two down in southern france and spain hadn't even gotten together by the time we were at 43% warscore!
It's truly amazing how easy it is to fight the Germans. Down in spain, the supply limits are shitty and the muslims have 3-4k men per holding, making assaults costly and indeed very difficult to take much land. But in the HRE... 2k men at worst. Maybe a bit more. My first army in flanders smashed through some infighting thuringian troops (obliterating two 6k stacks) and running them back to their holdings which were all quick double-assaults (once to flip to the HRE, and then another to immediately flip to me). My second armor in central france spearheaded into upper burgundy, sweeping aside a small army of 3k. It met a small, weak 3k man army and routed it instantly. Then they crashed through a province's worth of holdings and bumped my warscore up to 52%. At this point, my two southern armies had formed and...
A little icon fell down. A dove with a peace symbol.
:v:

To me, the HRE is a bit like the Seljuks when I fight them (as the Byzantines). both of them might be big and fearsome when they declare war on me, but they always overextend and lose too many men, so my army can just swoop in and destroy them.

So it's been 17 ingame years since that GH expansion into denmark. Figured I'd post a "now and then" sort of thing.

Sweet Jesus what is up with your Golden Horde.
I think it's time for you to get your levy ready.

This is the convenient time for them to fall apart from civil war.
Funnily enough they did. They had a (small) succession crisis and I pushed into brunswick, taking the duchy. They then immediately had a large independence war trigger (both at the same time). They finished their succession crisis with the challenger winning, so I was contemplating taking another duchy when the pope called a crusade for bavaria.
I was all over that shit.
GUESS WHO NOW HAS 8 KING TITLES
What's up with that one province county in the middle of Spain?

very soon we'll have to fight eachother it seems :v:
[QUOTE=kamikaze470;38360737]What's up with that one province county in the middle of Spain?[/QUOTE]
I've been so busy fucking shit up in the east that I haven't bothered to crush the last muslim ruler in spain.
Although all of my forces in spain tend to get demobilized and put into "reserve" at the start of my many conflicts in central europe. Perhaps I shall declare on scotland/muslims/GH at the same time, and have 2 sets of armies going in 2 different directions.
[editline]8th November 2012[/editline]
although I have struck back against the GH. It started a succession crisis and I took my chance to jump into brunswick and beat that duchy away from them, which seems to have immediately triggered a much larger independence faction. The succession crisis resolved with the challenger winning (invalidating my truce), and I was plotting to take another duchy when the pope called a crusade for bavaria. Got that king title, swung north and smashed some (now independent) tengri rulers.
GH seems to have lost a lot of its holdings and will take a while to get back up to speed, at least. Francia saves the day!
