Paradox Interactive Thread: V2 The cartographers nightmare. - Games

I wonder if a major pan-Indian revolt in V2 would cause all of Britain's soldiers to switch sides to the rebels. :v:

I managed to beat back the British but only just. China is an absolute beast once it's modernized.

Don't make Poland angry. You won't like Poland when its angry.

[QUOTE=RearAdmiral;40765484]Don't make Poland angry. You won't like Poland when its angry.[/QUOTE] POLAND STRONK. The only time I saw Poland suck was one game where Mazovia inexplicably annexed all but one of their provinces. Don't ask how, it confused the shit out of me too.

Well then, they're allied and sphered by NGF, so I'm assuming they forced the release. [img]http://i.minus.com/ixOwSucCYmL2r.jpg[/img]

I think Germany in my game is having an identity crisis, keeps going between HMS Government and Absolute Monarchy. [editline]24th May 2013[/editline] World Map, 1877 [URL=http://minus.com/l1HuIPkjqVw3L][IMG]http://i.minus.com/j1HuIPkjqVw3L.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[I][B]IT IS THE YEAR 1777[/B] [B]THE PUNITIVE WARS OF RUSSIA HAVE CONCLUDED[/B][/I] [img]http://i.imgur.com/GO1br16.jpg[/img] In the lands to the East a number of new countries rose from the revolting regions of Russia, backed by the military forces of Great Britain and Republic of Croatia. Mainz has seized Azow, the major port of the Moscow Khaganate. Kingdoms of Crete, Cleves, and Hedjaz have declared independence, and the Tatars of Central Asia are massing withing newly formed formed old splinter territories of the Khiva Khaganate in order to escape and resist the looming threat of Moscow and Ming. The Mamluk Protectorate and Kingdom of Polotsk are taking back their rightful territories as an attack of opportunity against the Moscow Khaganate. [img]http://i.imgur.com/0EaQWp5.jpg[/img] The greater situation of Asia. After a considerable deal of wars the Republic of Croatia has arranged for Gondwana to release the Republic of Rajputana, and Great Britain made sure to provide Delhi it's independence from both Gondwana and the looming threats of Moscow and Ming China. Meanwhile the East India Company is doing it's best to assimilate Sind and Gondwana before Netherlands and Croatia do. The black lines in Central show Tatars of Durrani and Kazakh revolting against their oppressive rulers. [img]http://i.imgur.com/wDnKgub.png[/img] Crossing the empire of Manchuria-Korea and the Yellow Sea, we see the incredible, mystic lands of the Empire-Shogunate of Japan! At least, that's what they used to be. Some decades ago a French colonial unit conquered central parts of Honshu and turned it into a colonial region. The unsatisfactory conditions in the Empire led to a major peasant revolt, overthrowing the feudal samurai and proclaiming their own republic of Kyushu-Shikoku. However, in the following years colonialists and Japanese Daimyo's fulfilled their effort to extinguish the peasant revolt, shifting it into a mess of colonial protectorates, weaved between the remains of independent Japanese micro states, with the Empire controlling only North Honshu. Today Kyoto and it's destiny lie in the hands of the Taira Shogunate. The revolts occuring in French Japan is due to a collapse of the French Military, Navy, and Nation in the last war, alongside a major amount of their colonial holdings in Africa and America, on which we'll focus on now. [img]http://i.imgur.com/Jxot1X4.jpg[/img] The situation in Europe. The Holy Roman Empire states have almost completely been assimilated as client states of Croatia, with the only independent members being Epirus and Naples. The Protectorate of Bohemia has made incursions into German territories, taking land they consider to be better holders of than the German micro nations do. France is in a state of disrepair, as a large amount of revolting factions ravage the already ravaged lands. It is only a matter of time until the situation crystallizes and a wholly different country rises from the ruins of France. [img]http://i.imgur.com/KHc1pL2.png[/img] But let's not stick to the worlds of the old and let's cross into the lands of the new world! The French Crisis has struck there as well, producing an offspring that is the Republic of Mexico. They sought to reunite all Central and North American colonists into one nation, toppling over the colonial dominance established centuries ago. [img]http://i.imgur.com/G82pB96.jpg[/img] in the lands down South the situation is considerably calmer, however. The revolts of Colombia, Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil have silenced down for now, but the rebels in Peru and French Quebec, having defeated the remnants of the forces meant to invade Croatian Mexico Territory and Tunisian Belize are advancing to seek independence as much as they can. It is the year 1777, and for the last 77 years there has only been pain, war, and suffering. People frighten and the thought of what is to come. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/mJxpgzn.png[/IMG] Unless you're Aquileia. Then you're getting so much revenue from wool, peace, and stability that you outtech all other nations, but it's an HRE OPM that nobody cares about.

Guangxi just beat China, which was a great power, rank 8, 100 more troops then them. Knocked them into 20th and they lost all their puppets.

Holy shit look at that troop count I assume you were Sokoto?

[QUOTE=larrylumpy;40770821]Holy shit look at that troop count I assume you were Sokoto?[/QUOTE]Nah, Tuskin pretty much plays Haiti all the time to observe the game.

I gave Sokoto every tech and invention at the beginning of the game to see what would happen. [editline]24th May 2013[/editline] The world as of 1918 and FIVE great wars.

Modding for this game can be annoying, I'm trying to create a mod that runs fine but once I play for a while it just decides to crash I don't know if it's a problem with my computer or the mod :'( [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/848080357939725973/62C9410B807B16CB7B496B5747D47B33C807120E/1024x640.resizedimage[/t]

Thats interesting, ingame screenshots save to my Documents, but screenshots taken from the menus end up in the main game install folder. anyways, decided to end in 1932.

Is anyone running Elder Kings 0.1.2a? If so, could you confirm whether or not the crippling CTDs have been dealt with? Maybe this time I'll actually get to form the Empire.

Alright, started a game of CKII as Leinster, everything is going smoothly, now that I know it's a good idea to make lots of vassals. 5 provinces so far, we're the Duchy of Meath.

Oh thats cool, Elder Kings will link to UESP if the character is on there, just like how the default game has a wiki link.

Spent eight hours playing Victoria 2 HOD as Prussia, then NGF, then Germany with Austria. My fucking mind at how much time I wasted. Anyway, I ended up being the top gun at Colonization, Industrialization, War, Economics, Politics, Construction, basically everything but navy. Since Britain fucking superstacks their Navies. I'll post screenshots later, Too busy feeling shame over spending over 8 hours on a single game. [editline]24th May 2013[/editline] I held off making Germany for over 15 years just so I could make a Germany with Austria. Austria kept dipping back into 8th whenever it would rebuild after humiliation war :v:. I managed to get it in my Sphere like the day before it got back to GP. It then converted to Hungary and then released Croatia for whatever reason.

It's annoying sometimes with factories closing down and all and it forces you to keep some taxes low so people invest instead of you having to. It's decent, it just is kinda annoying since you can't be like, I DONT CARE IF THE REACTIONARY HAS ONLY THREE PERCENT! THEY'RE IN POWER!

And most of my military score was just from tons of Dreadnoughts, which are limited in HoD. I started in 1836. I've never been good at boosting prestige/industry.
