Paradox Interactive Thread: V3 'Check out my sick Germany blob' - Games

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;50539177]Haven't seen what the new patch has in store obviously but I really hope that peace deals aren't horsevomit like they are. Played as Germany, managed to get almost all of Europe to be on my side (Thanks for going commie France, I didn't need to fight the Allies for a while) and I finally kicked the Soviets' teeth in. Uuuunfortunately though, after puppeting the USSR and taking a couple provinces (Crimea+Caucasus), our good old friend fuckin' GRORIOUS NIPPON decided to eat literally everything except Moskva, Karelia and the far eastern parts of Siberia (what). And Japan gave about 7-8% of the effort for the war. What the [I]fuuuuuuuuuuuck[/I] [editline]17th June 2016[/editline] Honestly the best way to do it is how it is in EUIV. You should be able to dictate what provinces are handed to your allies if you are the war leader. I.E, if I beat the Axis as Britain, I should be able to hand off Libya to France, liberate Ethiopia, puppet Germany, give territories back to Yugoslavia, etc. etc. And the AI has no fucking say in it other than "yes this is good" or "No I don't/do want XYZ". Not this: "Dear Hitler, Fuck you I'm going to eat ALL OF RUSSIA thanks - Hirohito"[/QUOTE] I had this when I tried going to war with yugoslavia after they wouldn't give me slovenia. I'm 90% certain I never asked for allies to be involved, but italy took it upon itself to "help" me anyway, and ended up taking nearly all of the fucking kingdom, including slovenia Fuck you mussolini

[QUOTE=maxolina;50525933]How does the Soviet Union not completely dominate everyone when played by AI? This is me playing the soviets in 39 shortly before war starts: [IMG]https://cdn.pbrd.co/images/1HzBuRKT.png[/IMG] Nobody could compete with me, it as a complete steamroll...[/QUOTE] That's scary to see as I'm currently at war with them as Fascist Poland with my friend playing Nazi Germany. We have a solid held line and we took Minsk but every other push is nearly impossible as all my manpower is going to reinforcements rather than new units. They do have almost 7 million casualties though compared to our collective 1 million, which includes Japan, Italy and Turkey being involved in our war

[t]http://s33.postimg.org/de6gwrjwv/politics_ui_design.jpg[/t] Good googly moogly it looks like people have really gotten to modding this game already. Note the date. [editline]17th June 2016[/editline] Turns out that's a mockup of the UI, but the dude making the mod apparently has most of the parties fleshed out. It's a WW1 and Interwar mod btw

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;50540370]take a concubine and then after you have one kid, set her aside and remain wifeless you will have only one child who will inherit all titles[/QUOTE] this or instead, make a lot of bastards then whenever you find a good one / death appears imminent legitimize only him that latter one is actually much more applicable than just gavelkind

Good lord when does this war end. It's already 1950 i got B-52 bombers and nukes yet i can't nuke london since they have 6000 planes guarding it. I've lost like 2 million soldiers so far, but at least we won against soviet union.

These HoI4 maps are EUIII tier map gore.

I failed at trying to make a scroll bar for the party list in HOI4. I think I know how to do it. The party list is not in its own box, it is just overlayed on the background. I'd need to make a box with a scroll bar to put it in. [editline]17th June 2016[/editline] So HOI4 might have a cap on the number of countries [url]https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/question-to-the-devs-cap-on-number-of-countries.949375/[/url]

Sometimes I have to map gore specifically to nab resources [editline]17th June 2016[/editline] Also rubber is such a pain if you're in the axis, it makes the south pacific a huge deal

Probably one of the more bizarre inheritance's I've seen, a Swedish king inherited Venice while he was still tribal, thus Venice is now a tribal settlement. [t]http://i.imgur.com/L138fME.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;50534359]I have a serious problem, I can literally only play fascist-like empires in Stellaris, I think something might be wrong with me. So that's why I created a new race to force me to not be a fascist, and actually both roleplay but also work together with other empires properly. Fanatic pacifist fungi who all they dream is for all planets in the universe to be Gaia planets, so all species, sentient or not can thrive.

It's either War or sit in your bubble and grow.

They have no excuse either because EUIV can run literally hundreds of countries dicking around at once, and this is an even newer engine. [editline]17th June 2016[/editline] Oh, yeah, no Windows 10, that's cool, just fuck up that's cool. So now, because of my update to windows 10, I am totally unable to change anything within the zipped folders of workshop mods. I can look at them, but I am unable to save in those files. So, if I move a yml file with the SAME EXACT NAME into said folder, it breaks the mod, etc. Oh my god [editline]18th June 2016[/editline] ahahahaha it even affects savegames FUCK

Weird, I can do all that fine. Try reinstalling what ever zipping program you use?

I fixed it. In the meantime, I found this on reddit: [t]http://i.imgur.com/8zDVqsG.jpg[/t] holy fuck

Carriers seem to be pretty powerful so long as you have actual battleships to prevent the carriers being engaged [editline]18th June 2016[/editline] [t]http://i.imgur.com/eNRkCXc.png[/t] :what:

[QUOTE=Tuskin;50545056]Looks fine if the country is just called 'Italy'[/QUOTE] Look at the event options

[QUOTE=maxolina;50545031]Here have some nice border gore [img]https://cdn.pbrd.co/images/1MvJwfG2.png[/img][/QUOTE] This reminds me of the good old days of EU3.

[QUOTE=Kyle902;50545323]Look at the event options[/QUOTE] I don't see anything wrong with it. Just Italy strengthening its grip on the Mediterranean. [editline]a[/editline] Also this.

How do you take pictures of the map in Hearts of Iron 4, like you can with CK2/EUIV/etc.

Playing as Spain. Pretty easy but slow. You don't get a lot of factories, you have to deal with the Civil War. Portugal is ripe for the taking but you can't take Portugal without the entire world fighting each other by the end of it. So might as well hold France while Germany and Italy take it and conquer France in Africa

Soo..if I lose this civil war, what happens to my game? Is it game over or do I just control a communist US instead? I'm not even sure how this happened. I have a feeling some communist dick bag country funded a coup possibly? I was pushing them back quite easily but then they just shit out a million more units than I can and I have no idea where they're getting the resources/manpower but yeah, I think I'm not gonna be able to stop this. HALP? [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/273972713579224668/36EAD059F3404F0E79331A1CC64508B2A4B7053E/[/t]

I did hands off game, it is still going. Both Germany and the US have researched Nuke tech, but neither have any reactors. I'm afraid to see the post war borders [t]https://i.imgur.com/jUYrvXT.png[/t] [editline]19th June 2016[/editline] Germany has no available Man power, they have 'All Adults serve'. US has 4.62 Million free Man power, they also have 'All Adults serve' Germany was able to conquer the Americas, but not the UK
