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

Not really, atleast EU4 has an opinion system. In vic2, they might refuse your alliance even though you have 200 in relation, just because they dont feel like it In EU4, you dont get fucked over every 2 years

[QUOTE=Atlascore;47489285][URL="https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/eu4-development-diary-9th-of-april-2015.849816/"]War has changed[/URL][/QUOTE]I never thought they'd borrow from AGEOD game mechanics. Well, MOTE had a similar system (as it was originally a AGEOD title before they turned it over to PI) so that's kinda cool. [editline]9th April 2015[/editline] I think these changes are pretty big, since if I read it right, you can't really carpet siege stuff anymore. And 5k per fort level? Holy mackerel.

[QUOTE=Adarrek;47489516]That's not just V2. EU4 is exactly the same.[/QUOTE] EU4 has a trust system which works great, get someone to trust you utterly and they will fight to the death with you.

Is eu4 worth buying, and which dlcs?

[QUOTE=Mango;47505573]Is eu4 worth buying, and which dlcs?[/QUOTE] It's alright if you want the time period / want to have a campaign go from CK2 to Vic2 Art of War is must have. Conquest of Paradise is useless.

Bought Art of war, wealth of nations, conquest of paradise, el dorado collection and res publica. Expensive shit.

Would anyone be up for a weekly multiplayer EU4 game?

I convert to Catholicism and this shit happens [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/To02ba.jpg[/t]

Yazidi takes over almost every one of my games. [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/Ftajww.jpg[/t] Started as the Duchy of Estonia as Suomensko. Scandinavia is my 'satellite state' (when I don't want to WC and just want to RP, sometimes I make kingdoms or empires, name them, mess around with the internal borders in the console and then release.)

Does anyone know why the hell does Victoria 2 crash when you give an uncolonized province to someone by editing history file?

How absurd. Playing as Ming, I saved last night and loaded up my game just a couple of minutes ago; my income fell dramatically and my MP fell from 45k to 28k. My army forcelimits also fell considerably. It's slowly climbing back to what it was before, but, I knew the save bug was also largely prominent in vick2 but I didn't think it was a problem in EU4, too. It isn't because I lost Mandate of Heaven, it was literally at the aforementioned exactly when I saved, and not when I loaded. I even waited a month because I know that sometimes displays incorrectly numbers sometimes, but that was not the case.

Nobody would happen to know what the fuck is up with my flags, would they? I already deleted the flags folder in the documents [t]http://imgkk.com/i/a962.jpg[/t]

I really need help to not fail as Germany in HOI III TFH.

Why are my colonies declaring war on other colonies? It's real annoying when I'm playing as Portugal and my Brazil decides to declare war on Spanish La Plata or New Granada. It always ends up the same, which is me being dragged into a war with Spain that I can't win due to their superior unit types.

[QUOTE=spoder55;47596062]I really need help to not fail as Germany in HOI III TFH.[/QUOTE] Well what exactly is giving you issues?

[QUOTE=DVH;47596113]Delete the flagfiles.tga/.txt file in the mod's folder as well. Also please elaborate on this map, looks hella cool.[/QUOTE] Tried that, apparently I had a typo on one of the flag GFX's. Also the mod is a just a little pet project, its set at beginning of the 1960's in short Germany wins in the European theater. Barbossa is a success and the Reichskommissar are established in eastern Europe but the full picture is never accomplished with Germany having to somehow administer the vast swathe of land full of partisans, its not a complete failure with the goal of Lebensraum being gained. Various direct puppets are setup (Bohemia is a german protectorate, Poland is under direct administration) other states have pro-german 'leaders' (Baltic countries, Britian.) Various countries are given land in the now crippled Soviet Union in order to downsize it (Prometheism) and other opportunistic countries see their chance to grab land from the SU, either by succession or claiming land previously held. Lots of successor spring up claiming to be for the Russian people (Russian Federation south of the Urals, Another in Vladivostok, and a Siberian republic) the SU still holds some land and exclaves Operation Torch was a success, the Allied invasion in Italy however was stopped, Germany being able to supply troops in the Mediterranean without being tied up by the Russians. Italy is split in half and has a heavily militarized border like real life Korea. Spain and Greece both received these treatments as well due, Spain being under Republican rule and Greece liberated from Axis rule. I'm still thinking out Asia, Japan loses and is reformed as the State of Japan like its real counterpart. China continues its civil war annexing the warlords, the communists continue guerrilla warfare to this day with a second long march to Xinjiang (integrated by the remnants of the SU during the 50's) and base themselves from there. The indigenous Taiwanese declared independence reforming Formosa during the 228 incident in the 40's but the KMT is unable to retake the island due to being tied up on the mainland. Mongolia takes a little slice of the SU where there are Mongolian ethnic populations, they've become independent of the SU but still hold socialist values. [t]http://imgkk.com/i/j0t0.jpg[/t] Anyways, it still needs alot of work and its just in its baby steps. Tons of shit needs to be updated to 1960's standards (infrastructure, politics, resource, tech, OOB) so don't hold your breath on a release

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;47597461]Well what exactly is giving you issues?[/QUOTE] I don't know about this guy's issues, but I've just picked it up and am staggered by the increase in intensity. I started with crusader kings, then moved to EU4, and then Vicky2, so I expected a jump in complexity and just generally not being able to figure out too much, but this is way beyond what I was expecting. Each Paradox game seems to emphasize some historical feature with different gameplay mechanics. CK2 is all about managing interpersonal relationships, EU4 seems to be focused on the advancement of state technology and learning (okay, I don't have a great idea for EU4), and Vicky is all about imperialism and the industrial revolution. It seems, from my two or so days of play, that HOI3 is focused on military micromanagement and command chains, as well as espionage. It doesn't seem like there's a whole lot to do until you become part of a war in HOI3, and honestly I feel pretty overwhelmed by the idea of trying to order my armies around. I'm used to all the other games where an army is usually one or two stacks that are unrelated. What the hell is this mesh of interconnection between all these damn units? And what the hell can I do outside of war that's mildly interesting? (I understand that the world war is the focus of hearts of iron, but I'd be surprised if it's the only thing with depth in this game considering the variety and breadth of all the other paradox games.)
