This day in history, December 29th: 1170 – Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, is assassinated inside Canterbury Cathedral by followers of King Henry II; he subsequently becomes a saint and martyr in the Anglican Communion and the Catholic Church. 1427 – The Ming army begins its withdraw from Hanoi, ending the Chinese domination of Đại Việt. 1786 – French Revolution: The Assembly of Notables is convened. 1911 – Mongolia gains independence from the Qing dynasty, enthroning 9th Jebtsundamba Khutughtu as Khagan of Mongolia.
Literally playing my first game of Vicky 2 right now. Figured I would start with the US. What the fuck is consciousness and what does it affect? I noticed I have a ton of different issues as well, I take it once those get to a certain percentage they trigger events/disasters? Am I wrong? What else do they do?

>What the fuck is consciousness and what does it affect? Read the manual.
>I take it once those get to a certain percentage they trigger events/disasters? No, this isn't EU4. Issues are what your people want. Unless you consider voting a disaster, you shouldn't worry too much about it. If you don't want to give rights to your people then they are a disaster.

Whatever I guess. Will have to try again another time. Sorry.
It was a pretty Europe too desu.

How useful are engineers in HoI3? I've always built my standard divisions as 2xINF/ENG/ART and then adding an AT once the fifth brigade is unlocked.
Am I wasting combat effeciveness by having so many engineers?

Catholic Prussia and Il Papa need to finish their conquering. We need the Kingdom of God and Teutonic Baltica.
Oh and is that a fucking free Albania? HOW IN THE FUCK IS IT ALMOST 1700 AND NOT A PART OF OTTOMAN CLAY?

Engineers are a meme if your not attacking large forts. Perhaps consider bunker busting divisions with heavy tanks and engies?

Let's say Victoria 3 comes out, and its pretty much just HoD with new graphics. What features would you like to see added in the eventual 20 expansions?

Argentina, they're white and based and have the most events in HPM because she's Argentinian

Don't they give nice bonuses for attacking over rivers too?

But wouldn't FRCA more "challenging" with more interesting spots to expand to(Panama, Mexico, Caribeans)not just blob into SA? What are Argentina's options? I haven't played in Americas at all apart from 1Mexico game where I blobbed a bit to hard to USA and got bored very quickly.

A revamped diplomacy option. For example, more deals with larger nations. Consider how SP can trade provinces with France for Italian formation- I'd Like to be able to do a similar thing as Bavaria or something like that. Also, there could be secret alliances and things of the like. Gunboat diplomacy, ect. Also, a ton more provinces, and the opportunity to change how your armies fight. Line formations, small battle simulations, ect. Infamy and prestige penalties for unorthodox/dishonorable tactics would be cool to go with that.

probably? Haven't played in a while. Rivers aren't that big of a deal to attack over and if they are, then you have bigger problems to worry about than engineers or Infantry.
Jeremiah Martin
this, but also flesh out the scramble more. Like Portugal can make a deal to get zambia from GB and give up some other colonies to get it

How do you even survive against this never ending tsunami of rebel doomstacks? Should I just ignore my uneducated pops and encourage soldiers instead?
Michael Wilson
will HPM minimods ever be updated? qq
Jason Ortiz
>Also, a ton more provinces
Normally I'd ask for that too, but after seeing how they removed province names in HOI4 I'm not so sure I want it anymore.

Vastly increased modability, removal of as much hardcoded stuff as possible
More detailed UI, e.g in the factory view screen you should see all the RGOs the different regions have
Expanded diplomacy, more pacts, interaction with other GPs and strategic interests
More regional control/decisions, micromanagement I guess? If you play a small, centralized country like Belgium or the NL you should be able to focus more on local efforts compared to e.g Russia

Is there a mod that fixes this?

Ck2 isn't about trying to win in the same way you do with other paradox games. Instead of constantly trying to expand in power you are going to spend a lot more time trying to just hold onto power.

This was harder than I thought would be. In all my previous attempts, I was either going too fast and getting a coalition on my ass or going too slowly and the country exploding with rebels, dept and civil war anyway.

After 700 hours of just having this in the background well I did shit got to say it was pretty great.
Probably gonna take a break for a long while until I through a few mods on. Ending was kind of a cop out. Didn't expect like a Fallout slid show but I shouldn't be surprised since Paradox made it.

Married a daughter of William the Conqueror I think and pressed it well the Godwins were trying to take England back. Scotland was a holy war. I took wales after I declared it an empire I believe.
