Paradox Interactive Thread: V2 The cartographers nightmare. - Games

[QUOTE=KingdomBanned;39917291]Is there a way of breaking up armies faster into smaller chunks? I have several 1K army groups and it'll take forever to break them up so they won't start to death. There has to be a hotkey or something Oh boy I have to order all these armies to separate Providences how the fuck am I going to do this[/QUOTE] Try the S key, I've not got V2 installed currently but I think it splits a army in half. Also how you do that is by sending those 777,000 men straight to Paris.

Slavery was going to be abolished when the constitution was being written up, but they didn't want the southern colonies to fucking leave :v:

[QUOTE=Ruskie;39917428]Try the S key, I've not got V2 installed currently but I think it splits a army in half. Also how you do that is by sending those 777,000 men straight to Paris.[/QUOTE] Yeah but the major problem here is that France's supply limits suck, so if I get any troops on their land big enough to hold off an attack, they'll all starve to death. I'm planning on just letting them attack my troops on my land that way I don't have to travel through their country until their military is destroyed What even are supply limits? Does the UN place troops on every single province in the world that disallows a certain number of military supply trucks through? I mean I understand that getting resources through mountains might be a problem, but what about flatland? What is stopping them from just sending a huge caravan of supplys through it? [editline]15th March 2013[/editline] Also the S key doesn't work, it just opens the population density map

Group them as one, and when using the 'Create separate unit' button, hit balance. Continue doing so until you've reached an adequate number.

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;39917679]Group them as one, and when using the 'Create separate unit' button, hit balance. Continue doing so until you've reached an adequate number.[/QUOTE] Yeah that's what I'm doing, however with 1 K sized groups that is a lot of separate groups to balance out.

Haven't played that Modern Day mod so I have no idea what technology is like. Have you been researching all the appropriate supply tech?

Modern-day-mod is a copy-paste of V2 when it comes to tech, essentially. Hopefully you modified it so you don't end up with all of the military techs available post [I][B]1836[/B][/I] and get space-launched nukes in a matter of months. [editline]14th March 2013[/editline] And by "space launched nukes" I mean: More supply consumption

Went with a Democratic Germany in the Mixed Mod. Didn't turn out well for Germany. They went neutral, but declared war on the Allies, after the Soviet Union had already declared war on them. [URL=http://minus.com/lu86zQ5hD4ldY][IMG]http://i.minus.com/ju86zQ5hD4ldY.png[/IMG][/URL]

I'd like to play Crusader Kings 2 but I have no idea how.

[QUOTE=Banned?;39919254]I'd like to play Crusader Kings 2 but I have no idea how.[/QUOTE] Do the tutorials, [B]play as Ireland for your first game[/B], [URL="http://lparchive.org/Crusader-Kings-2/"]read some LPs on the LP Archive[/URL], watch videos of gameplay and/or commentary, post in here or the GSG thread on /vg/ for specific questions, and remember: Losing is fun [video=youtube;HV6qphZ4dVo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HV6qphZ4dVo[/video] Here's a pretty good gameplay video. Pretty gamey, but it showed me a good way to get claims.

[QUOTE=Moustacheman;39917095]Slavery wasn't a big issue until 1863, but don't tell the Yanks that. They'll generalize the CSA as just South Carolina.[/QUOTE] Erm, every other state left for the right to own slaves. Seriously, a good number of them explicitly said the reason they left was because "The Natural order is that the black man is inferior to the white".

[QUOTE=kamikaze470;39917950]Haven't played that Modern Day mod so I have no idea what technology is like. Have you been researching all the appropriate supply tech?[/QUOTE] Yeah I have max research on all military techs, but if I send out a 30 strong army into France they'll still be over the supply limit [editline]15th March 2013[/editline] But I think the main problem here is that THE GAME KEEPS CRASHING WHYYYYY

[QUOTE=KingdomBanned;39921867]Yeah I have max research on all military techs, but if I send out a 30 strong army into France they'll still be over the supply limit[/QUOTE] Usually to increase supply limit you need to get the chemistry line of research in the Industrial techs. In vanilla its the furthest right one on the Industrial tech tree, but it might be located elsewhere.

The British situation looked grim. With the strategic Gibraltar still firmly in Italian hands and French effort concentrated on taking down the Mussolini flop in the North African theatre, it seemed that defending their homeland was all but a lost cause. But in a miraculously turn of events, the Americans finally sent an expedition force that landed in South West England. With this unexpected adversary, the Germans began backpedalling North into Scotland. As the war pushed into July, the British liberated the swathes of territory lost in the initial phases of Sealion. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/aFaUmHb.jpg[/IMG] While the French and Axis glared each other down across the Maginot line, the Yankees couldn't sit still and decided to bring the war to the Germans, with an amphibious assault on the port of Dorarecht. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/xKwccQg.jpg[/IMG] Also noteworthy is Japan invading Australia & the Soviet Union, which from my point of view, they're steadily getting bogged down in.

Playing as Poland from 1936, managed to raise Germany's threat enough that Denmark declared war on Germany (ppft) and Germany declared war on France in 1938 I HAD PREPARED MY ARMIES FOR NOTHING And then Germany just decided "Hue, fuck poland" in January of 1939, blitzed through me and the Baltics, collapsed France and declared war on the USA.

Anyone got any recommendations for fun countries to play as in Victoria 2? I usually enjoy smaller countries that have potential to expand.

[QUOTE=RearAdmiral;39941050]Anyone got any recommendations for fun countries to play as in Victoria 2? I usually enjoy smaller countries that have potential to expand.[/QUOTE] Prussia

[QUOTE=scout1;39941059]Prussia[/QUOTE] I tried Prussia once and got my shit wrecked by Austria. Still, probably worth another go.

Macau is in EvW now. Before it was just Hong Kong. Apparently all that whining people were doing paid off. [img]http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=73869&d=1360865875[/img]

Good! I had no idea they even considered not having it.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;39921988]Usually to increase supply limit you need to get the chemistry line of research in the Industrial techs. In vanilla its the furthest right one on the Industrial tech tree, but it might be located elsewhere.[/QUOTE] I have max research on everything I can get right now, but it doesn't really matter I can't play that save anymore. It keeps crashing. Thank you anyway

[QUOTE=Frayyyy;39941375]Good! I had no idea they even considered not having it.[/QUOTE] I'm trying to find sources, but I think one of the technically reasons was it was too small, guess they got around that.

[QUOTE=RearAdmiral;39941050]Anyone got any recommendations for fun countries to play as in Victoria 2? I usually enjoy smaller countries that have potential to expand.[/QUOTE]Japan. You are the United Kingdom of the East, and China is your France. [editline]16th March 2013[/editline] Oh joy, months worth of progress lost because my game CTD right at the critical moment when I began to bomb Frankfurt into kingdom come, and more importantly exploit a hole in the line with an entire corps. I'm gonna cry.

Finally managed to get my head around Hearts of Iron/Darkest hour. It seems so simple now I know what I'm doing. Played as Usa starting in 1914. By 1926-ish I had finished researching tanks and 1930's infantry :v: I then proceeded to annex all of mexico and started working my way into brazil. Feels fucking good to see my work pay off, mexico is mine!

Anyone who uses Mixed mod notice a lot of countries keep shifting towards authoritarian? By 1945 half the allies were half way or more then half way there. The Mod author claims he hasn't touched the AI, but I've never seen this before. Canada is Fascist, British Raj is National Socialist, the UK is Paternal Auocracy a little over half way towards Authoritarian. Free France is Fascist. All the allies in the Americas are National Socialist/Fascist except for the USA. [editline]17th March 2013[/editline] Let a hands off MixedMod Darkest Hour game run over night, February 1st 1945, Axis controls Europe, from the French-Spanish Border, all the way to the Urals after a successful war with the Soviets. Also Stalin isn't in charge anymore. With a fully independent Vichy France as part of the Axis, that controls everything Metropolitan France except for Lorraine-alsace Come late 1945, Germany decides to declare war on the Soviet Union again, and Germany is getting their asses kicked. The Soviet Union has taken back all their former territory in only a few months. Germany seemed unprepared for the soviet onslaught. [editline]17th March 2013[/editline] Uhh, I'm bloody confused. Free France just annexed Vichy France, but there were no allied troops anywhere in Vichy France. France is being steamrolled again since they have no troops. Also Hitler just died from the July 20 Plot.. in 1946. Which is the first time I've seen Hitler die from any of the assassination attempts. [editline]17th March 2013[/editline] War in Europe is over. Soviet Union wins. There are two Frances, two Italy's The two Frances are going to have weird borders, the rebels you see in the image are occupying France, not Communist France.
