>>120045624 Uhhhhhhh I'm trying to think but there isn't much you can directly do. I don't think you can force a marriage in exchange for releasing, which as a side note is a fun thing to do with captive women who have claims/titles via enforced concubinage. If you were to just go to war using county conquest or similar there is nothing special besides a little warscore boost if they are related to their king. Waiting until they come of age and then demanding conversion will fuck with the saxon's realm though, and you might be able to get a convenient marriage in there or invite the younger one to your court.

It does NOT make sense for Austria to do that, because a Catholic Empire in which they didn't currently rule is more beneficial to them than a Protestant one in which neither they nor Bavaria ruled.
tl;dr it's a failure of a mechanic that actually is based on history, but doesn't account for obvious exceptions.

Anyone else a bit excited about HoI IV? While I am definitely dissapointed about that UI and the "streamlined" gameplay, we have also been told that it will have sandbox elements. Having a sandbox game staged at WW2 era would indeed result in a lot of possibilities. What I didn't like about the previous HoI titles was how extremely railroaded the gameplay was. Like, gameplay at Europe would always go as it went historically. Then, when Germany invaded USSR, they would win 40% of the time and become unstoppable, or lose 60% of the time and lose after a couple of years. Someone might say that this is exactly what you would expect from a WW2 game, but then there wouldn't be a need to ever create a new HoI game. And truth be told, while DH and HoI3 are great games, they don't have a lot of replayability... I just wish HoI4 will not end up having simplified combat (EU style) or EU4 tier diplomacy. Then it won't even be worth pirating.

>>120079742 Got some questions for you, HPM:
1. Are you going to include wartime atrocities aside from genocide decisions? Genocides were always undertaken with the full approval of the state, but wartime atrocities, which of course began to happen with increasing regularity toward the end of Vicky's timeline, were often spontaneous or only approved of by military forces and carried diplomatic repercussions for the nations involved. I think it'd be a cool bit of extra flavor if nations in a war with ideological opponents (or a Fascist nation at war with any nation) could have a random chance to "commit an atrocity" under certain conditions. Examples include concentration camps (of the British POW style) and, although it falls slightly out of the period, things like the Rape of Nanking and the Batan Death March.
2. Are you going to represent the Communist Internationals? If so, how?
3. Why aren't certain governorates at the extent of the Ottoman Empire vassals? Iraq and Tripolitania in particular were very loosely attached to the center until the Tanzimat, as was the Levant.
4. Have you moved yet? Also, will work on the mod pick back up after you're settled in?

The problem with stuff that deals with killings and forced march is that the player could purposely do it (and some do, by delaying wars they already won) or they could be frustrating (like Japan getting a rape of nanking event, giving them infamy that they can't control and tipping them over the infamy limit).
>2. Are you going to represent the Communist Internationals? If so, how? I never thought about that, and I didn't make up my mind about it. Vanilla has late game events to make countries with similar ideologies/government like each other more.
3. There's a fine line between too weak and too strong and the Ottomans already sit on the edge of that. I don't disagree with you there, though the war in Tripolitania was really to establish a more direct rule.
4. No, I didn't move yet. I will in the next few days. Then in 2-3 months I will move to Italy and spend around 6 months there. So there's lot of stuff to organize for the moving around.
And yes, I'm trying to pick it up. It's kinda hard to stop when I need to, but it's also slow to pick it up when I start again.

>>120084329 >or they could be frustrating (like Japan getting a rape of nanking event, giving them infamy that they can't control and tipping them over the infamy limit) I would almost say that that's a risk of the ideology. Unless you're a fascist, such things would only happen against ideological enemies under such a system. If you are a fascist, then your state is founded on exclusionary (and often downright racist) principles and propaganda, and that translates into the way your troops behave. TBH if something like this did happen I'd almost consider it a feature. There's no reason why a WW2-esque grand-scale containment war couldn't have happened in the tail end of the Vicky era, and this would be one way to realistically simulate that.
>I never thought about that, and I didn't make up my mind about it. The internationals weren't just about relations between Communist countries, they were also about spreading the worker's revolution. I was thinking GPs who were communist could fire an event to join(/create) the international, and could then take a follow-up event where they invested some amount of money to try to spread the revolution, wherein certain nations (maybe just on their continent) had 10% of socialists become 20% more communist or something. It'd also be a nice way to differentiate between Stalinist "socialism in one country" plans versus the Trotsky-esque world revolution communists.
>There's a fine line between too weak and too strong and the Ottomans already sit on the edge of that. Why not create the substates and slightly buff the Ottomans? They could be given Freedom of Trade and maybe one or two other techs, and maybe some higher starting soldier POP counts. The center being slightly stronger would make up for the weaker periphery, which would only last a little into the Tanzimat before being absorbed anyway.

>>120087908 It really only was revenge.
The idea of it is just so silly: the Entente carried about 'self-determination' so much, and then its successor just let borders be carved up based off of thousand year old claims. And they only cared about it when it benefited them - in Hungary, the eastern border was determined by a rail line, and the northern border by the Danube - both with Hungarians on the other side. The Czechoslovaks got the Sudetenland completely, rather than a compromise solution.
The German resettlement devastated their economy, causing the immediate loss of 2 million lives (that's a German estimate, minimum's 800K and max is around 3M).
On top of that, the lost births from forcing the Germans to both lose industry and accommodate the expelled Germans is easily construable as genocide.

>Why not create the substates and slightly buff the Ottomans? The balance for that is a little bit too thin. When I read about the kurdish wars and the involvement of the Iraqi Pasha they really had their own autonomy to act (militarily), but not total autonomy to govern or to pass on the title.
At some point I should read up more on the structure of the ottoman empire but even if I did that, someone would probably complain about Austria and similar situations that I cant "equalize" because of the game constraints.

>>120093268 >The amount of success of these policies is highly debatable. Right, which is why I said 10% of socialists become 20% more communist (I think that's how the Vicky system works). It would only affect people who were already Marxist in ideology, and even then it would only modify a small amount of POPs; 20% of 10% in an already finite ideology is a very small amount. Large enough, I think, to still be significant, but minor.
And from research I've been doing lately I can definitely say that the rise of Bolshevik Russia did a lot to radicalize socialists. Some moderates became more conservative, but in America and Britain at least most moderate socialists radicalized. That's associated with the state itself and not with the International, to be fair, but I think the International is the better way to handle it since it gives it representation and lets the player/AI differentiate between the communistic ideologies.
>The balance for that is a little bit too thin. I disagree. I think the Ottomans need to be a bit more weak at game start, when they're likely to receive a lot of protection (Russia at game start, AIs allying them during the Oriental Crisis). Muhammad Ali's Egypt was a real threat to the Ottoman state, but in-game Egypt loses pretty much 100% of the time, the Ottomans taking Adana at absolute worse, and more often than not in the current HPM the Ottomans just beat them to a pulp and puppet them outright.
The change to the substate model would weaken them vis-a-vis the European powers in the early game, but they have Russia to protect them during that time. By the time of the Crimean War, the Tanzimat would have begun and the substates would be gone anyway. The change would only really be relevant for the Oriental Crisis, during which the Ottomans need a nerf anyway.
And fuck what anybody might say about Austria, honestly. You're doing the best job you can and nobody sane faults you.

>>120095315 >20% of 10% in an already finite ideology is a very small amount. Large enough, I think, to still be significant, but minor. Socialism is usually a large ideology late game, so it would affect a lot of states (or all of them). Honestly, I think the effects of Internationals should be diplomatically only or at best, the radicalization of already established communist pops.
The domino effect of converting socialists to communists would be huge.
>and more often than not in the current HPM the Ottomans just beat them to a pulp and puppet them outright. Puppeting is normal since after the Crisis Muhammad Ali was brought back in the ottoman empire. So if the Ottomans win, they always puppet Egypt (though they still can't inherit unless they enforce the CB).
In any case, it's something it need smore study. I screwed up with Ottoman balance once and they are really sensible to small changes. Unless it's something obvious like Muhammad Ali or the kurds running around unchecked, I will be hesitante to change.
>>120097710 Seeing as the territory claimed by the crown of st stephen is bigger than that, it seems kinda pointless.

Is there any way I can convert the Byzantines to Germanic without conquering all their shit? I want them as a buffer between myself and the Muslim hordes but my vassals keep declaring holy wars on them.

hey HPM, why don't you do a European Minor culture to take care of the Maltese, Lapps, Gypsy, and West Slavs. could even do the Romanche in switzerland

>>120102134 There's already gypsy and west slavs. Also having the implication that all those culture are "the same" is retarded, even if I understand what you are actually trying to do.

>>120101935 >Unless it's something obvious like Muhammad Ali or the kurds running around unchecked, I will be hesitante to change. Mhm. I don't know too much about the specifics myself, but everything I've heard about the situation and the limited direct research I've done on it in the past suggests that the threat Ali represented was quite significant. He was winning the war handily for the first several months, and that alone says something.
I think the substate thing for the Ottomans is important and I think it should be done either way, since the Tanzimat is like a late '40s thing anyway, but if it's not I think the way the Oriental Crisis is handled probably needs to be reexamined. Ali almost can't win in the current setup because of how many nations are willing to back the Ottomans with extreme support. It's hard to represent expeditionary forces in Vicky, so whereas the GPs would likely have all sent some support, as it is now many of them are just willing to march the entirety of their armies in. So naturally Ali gets blown the fuck out every time, which makes the Oriental Crisis a sort of non-issue. I think it should be a major concern for an Ottoman player, and both a big opportunity and a huge fear for an Egyptian player. Right now it's just an annoyance at best for an Ottoman player, and a guarantee half your land's going to be occupied as an Egyptian.

Eu4 is weird. In essence it's better than EU3 but it's also significantly worse. With every patch they seem to go one step forward two steps back.

The reason why slavery existed (but was in perpetual decline) is because barbarians didn't immediately replace everything Roman and, of course, slavery was a huge part of Roman culture. So slavery remained a part of post Roman late antiquity culture until it basically died an organic death. As far as I know it just got organically replaced with feudalism and serfdom since there was no abolitionist movement.
