Paradox Interactive Thread: V2 The cartographers nightmare. - Games

[QUOTE=PollytheParrot;44573945]Sorry I didn't know he was talking about Paradox games, he said "any games", and ETW is set in a similar time period as Europa Universalis, and also has a quite expansive map (though its not the [I]whole [/I]world) But from the response I got, fuck me right?[/QUOTE] It was a joke?...I'm sorry? [editline]17th April 2014[/editline] I didn't mean to make you angry, that wasn't my intention :c

[QUOTE=PollytheParrot;44574159]But I still don't see how ETW and EU aren't similar to each other[/QUOTE] The only thing that's similar about them is the fact that they're strategy games. But the gameplay itself is so very different between the two.

One question, what the heck is a Prydain [editline]18th April 2014[/editline] Oh, it is the Welsh name for Britain. Lets hope they can survive until Adm level 10 so they can forum Great Britain. When Converted to EU4 any Great britain entity does not have "culture_group_union = british" So they're prone to cultural rebels. Since Prydain there has a custom name they're not converted as Great Britain, so when they hit Admin Level 10 they will become Great Britain, which will have the British Cultural Union tag.

I can't believe it. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/games/203770/announcements/detail/1858040849881676750[/url] [QUOTE]- Fixed a bug with the decadence "straighten up" action. [/QUOTE] It isn't fixed yet! At least not in my game.

The Isles are almost entirely Welsh besides the remnants of Norse Scotland so the British cultural union would be rather pointless anyway.

So the GOT mod was updated for the latest CK2 patch [url]http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?769469-RELEASE-A-Game-of-Thrones-v0.6.1[/url] Noticed this in the changelog "Added EU4 converter support" There is a EU4 map in the converter files, Everything except the Americas and a few pacific islands are replaced with the GOT world. Alaska is also missing, probably best if you use this + Randomized New World

I'm sorry, but Lannister florida just sounds hilarious.

[QUOTE=Paul McCartney;44579380]I'm sorry, but Lannister florida just sounds hilarious.[/QUOTE] It has a certain awesomeness to it though. Now we need converters for V2 and HoIV.

[QUOTE=DVH;44579420]It has a certain awesomeness to it though. Now we need converters for V2 and HoIV.[/QUOTE]A official converter would be the only thing to have me sold, but I have a feeling there would be a fat chance of it even being a actual thing.

[QUOTE=Paul McCartney;44579380]I'm sorry, but Lannister florida just sounds hilarious.[/QUOTE] But how else would the Lannisters be able to work on their tans? [IMG]http://31.media.tumblr.com/3282937683d471d44f4ec2d6818784cf/tumblr_msqel1M4Ef1r00l9eo1_500.png[/IMG]

So i'm playing as Portugal, and England gets the War of Roses quite early, before the 100 year war ended, and both wars ended at the same time resulting in this: [thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/eu4_14.png[/thumb] Cornwall u drunk m8

Anyone willing to collab on a Victoria 2 flavourful name mod? We already have a lot of changing names, such as "Russian Empire" as AM to "Soviet Union" when PD. It'd be simple, just go into the localization files and add TAG_govetype_ (name) and then just copy/paste some french/german/spanish translations. Examples: [quote=Germany] German Empire (Absolute Monarchy, Prussian Constitutionalism, HM's Government) Republic of Germany (Bourgeois/Presidential Dictatorship) Federal Republic of Germany (Democracy) German Democratic Republic (Proletarian Dictatorship) German Reich (Fascist Dictatorship)[/quote] [quote=USA] United Duchies of America (Absolute Monarchy, Prussian Constitutionalism, HM's Government) Yankee Union (Bourgeois/Presidential Dictatorship) United States of America (Democracy) United Socialist Republics of America (Proletarian Dictatorship) Union of Greater America (Fascist Dictatorship)[/quote] [quote=Japan] Empire of Japan (Absolute Monarchy, Prussian Constitutionalism, HM's Government) Japanese Shogunate (Bourgeois/Presidential Dictatorship) Republic of Japan (Democracy) Republic of the Red Sun (Proletarian Dictatorship) Empire of the Rising Sun (Fascist Dictatorship)[/quote] It's extremely easy, just a bit time consuming since I'd want everyone (even German minors) to be included. Here's prefixes/suffixes for minors. [quote=Minor Names] AM/PC/HM - Kingdom of x BD/PD - Federation of x PrlD - People's Republic of x FD - Greater x[/quote] [editline]19th April 2014[/editline] Feel free to shoot up any ideas, I'll put up a google docs file if anyone's in the mood to assist. [editline]19th April 2014[/editline] Also, possibly make changes to flags. Such as: [url=http://www.shark-tank.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Nazi_flag_58_rep3.jpg]Fascist German Flag[/url] and possibly try to make a flag for an AM/PC/HM India (since a crown just won't cut it personally) [editline]19th April 2014[/editline] Example of how to code it in the localization files: GER_presidential_dictatorship;Republic of Germany;Franch;Germun;Spanik

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;44589592]People's Republic of Words[/QUOTE] If it's also possible to include PoD' new nations then I'm up for helping. Also there's already a mod that does something like this. You might be able to get the original owner to give permission for you/us to change it, it would save a lot of work.

PoD/NNM is allowed but it's best that it be done in just a separate file. I'll see if I can track that guy down.

[QUOTE=kamikaze470;44579617]A official converter would be the only thing to have me sold, but I have a feeling there would be a fat chance of it even being a actual thing.[/QUOTE] I'm guessing Vicky 3 will be the next game and it'll have a EUIV - VIC3 converter and a VIC3 - HOI4 converter.

This might be a little fun to do. Is it possible to separate a name for only absolute monarchy and not Prussian constitutionalism or HM? Also, why not the Mughal Empire flag for India?

Well if you include the Swastika flag you will not be able to post it on the official paradox forums. [editline]19th April 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Smooth Jazz;44590376] Is it possible to separate a name for only absolute monarchy and not Prussian constitutionalism or HM? [/QUOTE] Sadly no, there is only one localization for Monarchies.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;44590441]Well if you include the Swastika flag you will not be able to post it on the official paradox forums. [editline]19th April 2014[/editline] Yeah, it's probably best to leave the flag as it is. I wished Paradox weren't so uppity about that stuff, especially around a bunch of history fans who they know want the most authentic thing. Sadly no, there is only one localization for Monarchies.[/QUOTE]

Lame... [sp]I'll keep it on hand regardless[/sp] [editline]19th April 2014[/editline] Well, you COULD use the HPP German flag

[QUOTE=Smooth Jazz;44590376]Is it possible to separate a name for only absolute monarchy and not Prussian constitutionalism or HM? Also, why not the Mughal Empire flag for India?[/QUOTE] Wait, I was wrong. All Monarchies have the same flag. Localization however, you can have separate names for the three.

Well, you COULD use the HPP German flag

It would be nice if the mod also changes party names for all countries. Though it would be a good thing to also have it include different degrees of parties as well; I wouldn't exactly consider, for example, the Meiji Japanese parties as all that liberal; they just happened to have an excellent drive.

Seriously [B]FUCK[/B] peasant wars. I spent absolute hours trying to unite japan and finally managed to do it when a peasant war hit me while I was trying to recover. Then fucking korea decided to invade at exactly the same time. So livid.

Haha, it's been months, and i still don't know how to work this fucking game :v:

Localization only however is just a matter of changing one file, even with unused tags the same file will work fine, the strings it can't find a nation for are discarded iirc. And throw up a GDocs indeed.
