Paradox Interactive Thread: V2 The cartographers nightmare. - Games

Holy fuck castille is overpowered. Also fuck the AI when I play as Galicia and then Portucale rebels, Leon and Castille both invade me early yet when I play the Duke of Portucale and declare independence he's suddenly best friends with them. *Declaration of Independence* *10k Castillan army marches into my territory and rolls over my 2.5k army in seconds.* How do I get them to not steamroll so early? I prefer to stay out of my liege's wars so I can take over portguese provinces and work towards establishing Portugal but Galicia always gets conquered then Castille gets all the portugal duchies.

Everytime I've played as Galcia Castille is too wrapped up with fighting the arabs to give me too much grief

I decided to play some TMWNN. It's going... [IMG]http://i.snag.gy/k4tyx.jpg[/IMG] Uhhh... [IMG]http://i.snag.gy/YOoCw.jpg[/IMG] You know... [IMG]http://i.snag.gy/Cu3pt.jpg[/IMG] In an interesting way. [IMG]http://i.snag.gy/rbiAt.jpg[/IMG] Other fine points include: -France invaded Indochina. -USA abolished slavery without a civil war and shattered the Carlist colonies minus Philippines, which broke off on their own(!) -Turkey became a democratic republic very early on and puppeted Serbia, but lost Egypt to Britain. -Qing became Heavenly Kingdom, which lost a chunk of its shore to the UK. -Russian Empire got attacked by Jacobins, which made it a constitutional monarchy, then by reactionaries, which made it absolutist, and then by socialists, which made the fully democratic Russian Federation in 1860-something. It would then lose Caucasia, Poland, and the Siberian states, but ultimately take mot of their lost territories back. -NGF lost its army and got taken over by communists. -Japan united and colonized parts of Indonesia.

[QUOTE=Wealth + Taste;46194012]Everytime I've played as Galcia Castille is too wrapped up with fighting the arabs to give me too much grief[/QUOTE] If it's not Castille it's usually Leon. But I play as the Duke then fuck me because now they're all best friends until Castille rolls over them.

Hispania in a nutshell: "Okay, I fabicrated a claim over Lishbuna, now to- wait who is invading my lands? [I]Fuck.[/I] Not again with this shit." Later: "My mercenaries softened up the enemy greatly, now once my chancellor gets off his ass and makes a claim for Evora- Wait what? Why is it orange and red and not blue and white? Castille Holy War for Beja? FUCK YOU SANCHO II."

[QUOTE=croguy;46194017]I decided to play some TMWNN. [/QUOTE] What mod is this?

[QUOTE=U-Lander;46196761]What mod is this?[/QUOTE]I asked croguy earlier today but I have the memory of a gold fish and steam chat logs didn't cover that much of the conversation for whatever reason but I think he said it was a updated /gsg/ mod (or it might be called vickymod now I don't know) by (I think) reddit or whatever, 'the mod with no name'

[QUOTE=kamikaze470;46196784]I asked croguy earlier today but I have the memory of a gold fish and steam chat logs didn't cover that much of the conversation for whatever reason but I think he said it was a updated /gsg/ mod (or it might be called vickymod now I don't know) by (I think) reddit or whatever, 'the mod with no name'[/QUOTE] It's actually a sequel mod built off the 4chan-based /gsg/ vickymod which ceased production some time ago. Due to new community policies they decided to drop the affiliation with the 4chan group and take the mod in their own direction. I'd say I am fairly satisfied with how it's turning out; there's a lot of possibilities to occur already and despite some wonky aspects I'd say that it's more or less a perfect replacement for something like PDM.

TMWNN stands for "The Mod With No name" Wasn't Vicky mod modified NNM? Not PDM? At least thats what the pastebin file in the /GSG/ thread says. "The names /gsg/, Vickymod or any name that implies any kind of officiality or official community mod will only be used by shitposters. Anyone posting a mod with that name is shitposting." "Note: The mod formerly known as /gsg/minimod, started by finnbro and picked up by hisuibro aka rangerage is no more. The version in the archive named /gsg/vickymod final is NNM+Genocide decisions, which some argue is closer to finnbro original design. The version made by the other author is named ModWithNoName 2.0a and can also be found in the archive. Don't ask." [editline]10th October 2014[/editline] So my Current game of Darkest Hour has, 2 Netherlands, 2 Switzerlands and 3 Frances

So here's what's free and what's paid in Charlemagne: [QUOTE=JohanLerstrom]DLC: - New 769 Bookmark - The Chronicle - Custom Kingdoms and Empires - Viceroys - Events & Decisions supporting the early start date - Various Story and Flavour events Patch: - Regency Overhaul - Seasonal Effects - Vassal Limit - Tribes - Elective Gavelkind[/QUOTE] The DLC is looking pretty weak imo, I'm mostly excited about the patch. Also I'm a bit worried about having to keep large empires under the vassal cap; not having access to viceroys might make things a lot harder.

In the free patch accompanying Art of War, each province has one dominant terrain type that will always be the one used for battles as opposed to having a percentage breakdown of possible terrain types. We’ve also improved the terrain information overall by fleshing out terrain tooltips and adding river indicators & tooltips that will show you which provinces have rivers flowing between them. [/quote]Everything about this is EOTYEYAY but this, fuck you for what purpose

Because like they said, it was difficult to understand and plan.

[QUOTE=ImperialGuard;46201265]Because like they said, it was difficult to understand and plan.[/QUOTE]Maybe these players need to git gud then.

I never said I liked it, but it makes sense. And it wasn't about skill, it was all random

[QUOTE=ImperialGuard;46201376]I never said I liked it, but it makes sense. And it wasn't about skill, it was all random[/QUOTE]Actually giving it more thought you're right, it literally was all random.

Art of War is gonna be so fucking good. Charlemagne will probably be ok, but honestly I'm more excited about the Chronicle and the flavor events than everything else. Which is weird because I fucking love Charlemagne.

wait wait wait wait EU4 has slaves? slaves? it's okay to take part in and profit from one of the biggest genocides/forced displacements/tragedies of all time but you can't mention how much of a fucking cunt hitler was and how nazis were bad because apparently (in a certain central european country) profit comes first idk i'm probably overreacting but it just doesn't sit right with me, sorry on a positive note, charlemagne is looking sweet, but yeah it doesn't seem that much of dlc as it is a paid patch, feature-wise a lot of the dlcs just seem like paid mods essentially

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;46202286]Victoria 2 also has them.[/QUOTE] here's another the rape of nanjing stalin's purges both in hearts of iron series but no holocaust or no holodomor or japanese-american internment i'm not saying turn paradox titles into politically correct allies win wonderland hey just acknowledge what fucked up things have happened and represent the effects maybe in the end it's just a "female textures take to long to create" or whatever oh well, rant over, i'll shut my metaphorical mouth

[QUOTE=U-Lander;46200163]Any links out there?[/QUOTE] It's in the Mega section. Look up under Victoria 2 mods folder. [url]https://mega.co.nz/#F!WZZFXDyT!yyb25ZuLdLs0B8vhoKS3LA[/url]

I like to imagine that the only reason Germany hasn't gone to systematically waging war and making huge war machines is because they have grand strategy games to scratch the itch. "I was going to go round up my neighborhood Muslims and then perform a coup but then I played Victoria 2 instead."

Victoria 2 also has Gas Attacks
