Paradox Interactive Thread: V2 The cartographers nightmare. - Games

[QUOTE=Hamsteronfire;45445228]i'm kind of annoyed right now at how they've proposed the divisional design i want to be able to reorganise my divisions a la kampfgruppe, because it's what happened historically[/QUOTE] Come to think of it, why didn't they allow for the players to create a variety of templates to be used? HOI3 has that, and it's sort of odd that they couldn't program multiple templates per unit type for each country.

Am I the only one that thinks the old event pictures were a lot better? [IMG]http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=33269&d=1299768079[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;45448710]Reminds me of Bethesda. Good thing we have mods.[/QUOTE] i'm at the point now where i'm just modding the shit out of hoi3 myself just so i can play it without giving up after 5 minutes

[IMG]http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=33269&d=1299768079[/IMG][/QUOTE] I have no clue what happened when this fired for me but it gave my game living hell as what happened is that the event chain just kept firing, causing multiple instances at the same time and it just wouldn't stop firing. Dear god the Merry Men had given me nightmares.

People say the same thing about TeS. [QUOTE=Hamsteronfire;45448737]i'm at the point now where i'm just modding the shit out of hoi3 myself just so i can play it without giving up after 5 minutes[/QUOTE] Perhaps I should try that. I played 2 hours of it and gave up. Whats a good "fix HoI3" mod?

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;45448909]People say the same thing about TeS. Perhaps I should try that. I played 2 hours of it and gave up.

I'm not that great at it just be warned.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;45448909]Whats a good "fix HoI3" mod?[/QUOTE] HPP and RPM 2 are pretty good, but even they don't sate my needs lmao Whilst BlackICE is good, I think it relies too much on events and tries to railroad you in a certain path [QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;45449019]HPP is the best mod for all around improvements while staying close to vanilla. Also, would anyone be interested in playing some HOI3 mp sometime? I'm not that great at it just be warned.[/QUOTE] Sure, I wouldn't mind, never done a Paradox mp before, ever.

[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;45449019]HPP is the best mod for all around improvements while staying close to vanilla. Also, would anyone be interested in playing some HOI3 mp sometime? I'm not that great at it just be warned.[/QUOTE] Another notable thing is that HPP also overhauls the tech system so it makes more sense and gives countries actual military groupings worth a damn. That means countries like France can actually put up a fight if the UK and it know what they're doing and the USSR's OOB crashes the user upon clicking on STAVKA. Anyhow, if we'd be doing HPP, I'm all for participating. I sort of always wanted to do a "mission impossible" one where the Baltics, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Albania and Greece team up for a major league showdown against the Axis and the Comintern. Bear in mind though that HPP tends to act fairly wonky if we won't have an absolutely perfect host. Ping doesn't matter, but somebody with a really powerful network should be the one hosting. Also there should be houserules on such things like supply abuse, unit wiping, grindhouses, lend lease, and CAG spam. I recall using an old MP modpack that overhauled some of those things, as well as a few diplomatic aspects.

Although I'd hate to be playing the nation that has the Soviet Union, Germany, or Italy for a neighbor(s) when shit starts going down.

i never got into any other paradox games besides eu3/eu4... I tried ck2 twice or maybe even thrice, didn't get into it... I'd like to get into hoi3 or 4 but I'm not sure what to expect

I modified the map a bit and now everything looks like shit, what file do i need to change? [thumb] http://filesmelt.com/dl/v2_16.bmp[/thumb]

[QUOTE=Atlascore;45455332]So I got Res Publica, and have been playing the Netherlands.. the new Dutch Republic is insanely good, maybe even the best government type in the game, you get a ruler with monarch-level stats every four years, you get a bigger army or navy depending on the faction in power, and you can still do royal marriages. Also, there are a large number of new events that let you change who's in power and/or gain all kinds of good things such as additional advisers, monarch points, army/naval tradition, republic tradition, and so on.[/QUOTE] Playing a Burgundy into Netherlands game now is actually too easy I think.

So I installed that /gsg/ minimod (is that the best current mod for victoria 2 btw??) and started up as the US, but, uh, why do I have so much population at game start?? Roughly 3x historical pop.

[QUOTE=kamikaze470;45459211]It's not [I]the [/I]best but it isn't total shit either.[/QUOTE] Then what is "the" best?

[QUOTE=lifehole;45465554]Then what is "the" best?[/QUOTE]None are, vickymod is just the least shit.

In the game of thrones mod I'm getting a bug where approximately 1 day after start a saved game the game crashes to desktop. No other mods installed, most recent version of ck2 and GoT. Anyone had similar/know how to fix?

The Modern Mod for Vicky2 is just great. Native Americans dominate the Western United States. India and China are still unable to industrialize and Civilized Africa stands as a symbol for peace on Earth.

People keep making factions and declaring war on me to claim the throne. How do I get this shit to stop? Just as a war end, another factions pops up and starts building up. [editline]23rd July 2014[/editline] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/z9BFHWT.png[/IMG] This shit All of my vassals always decide to join the attacker too, not help me win the war.

I had my first really good game in Hearts of Iron 3 as the United States, although it was a bit of a generic one: [T]http://media.moddb.com/images/members/1/178/177688/HoI3_MAP_USA_1944.5.1.1_1.jpg[/T]

[editline]23rd July 2014[/editline] Best to get the rebellion out of the way before expanding.

I was Poland and joined the Axis. The reason most of Europe is intact is because I puppeted them to bring more troops to bear against he Russians. Since puppeting people brings them to your government type the Axis powers are, ironically, a bastion for democracy and freedom. [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/yv2kt4S.png[/img_thumb]

Ive asked this before but I still cant figure it out, how do I add new provinces to HOI3? I edited the .bmp and the text files but it doesn't show up in the game, the original province still remains intact. [editline]24th July 2014[/editline] always read directory names kids. Ive been editing the base game this entire time D:

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;45484713]When I puppet the crap out of everyone they don't do shit for me.[/QUOTE] They weren't much help against the Russians which was a pain in the ass, but they did help fend off several Allied amphibious assaults in both France and the Netherlands. Japan has been my greatest ally fighting on every single front including South Africa, helping a French invasion of the UK (unsuccessful), Australia, Norway, and all three fronts against Russia.
