Yep, great mod IF you enjoy these immerssion breaking middle eastern buildings (trade posts) in the middle of fucking Europe.. It's almost like Germany in 2018, ALMOST.

Do you got a version compatible with 2.7.1? I can't find it

Can't you turn off those models? Either way, I don't know why there's so many of them, I must have fucked up something.

Does not seem to be possible to do that because if you turn city sprawl off in the .txt it does fucking nothing to these models..

I'd be fine with them if they had a proper model but this looks SOOOOOOOOOO out of place.

That's a shame, I was blissfully ignorant of the models, actually. I'll look into that another day. Why do you have trade posts in almost every county, though? Did you fuck with the files?

Thanks bud

Nope, what I did was I installed the mod and then I saw that I can build a trade post in Prague (my main county). So I thought why not, more tax.. And then after I did so the AI did it too. I haven't touched the files whatsoever honestly.

I don't even know what would be required to cause something like this. I'd be fine with it if you could just disable the model. Worse yet after uninstall the mod, the posts and models remained in that savegame.

>So I thought why not, more tax
Prague already gets filthy rich, keep in mind trade value also increases the income of your holdings. I guess you got what you deserved, punk. I'll try to remove the models another day, but I'm too burnt out at the moment

Never mind, I'm tired and misread that. It's strange, you're not supposed to be able to build trade posts as freely as in your screenshot.

I am not satisfied with 10 - 12 shekels a month I need more than that to satisfy my UPGRADE WALL addiction until all my shit is unsiegable.

If you manage to fix it I will reinstall the mod because I really enjoyed the flavour.

You check Loverslab? I think Version 1.62 is 2.7.1 compatible

CK2 Plus my dude. Charlemagne start date is more volatile

Attached: zaz.png (1592x895, 2.89M)

Not today, but I can look into it later. If you're impatient, you can just do it yourself. Find the trade post model's location among the CK2 files, then put an empty file in the same location in the submod's folder and there'll be no model, in theory. I haven't modded models yet

if you don't play as germany the game is basically unplayable because germany will lose by 1941

was crashing when I tried to start a save unfortunately

I don't know what is meant by "empty file" in this case unfortunately. Otherwise I'd do it.

I had to take a shit, so I did it while on the throne. I'm testing it now.

Now that's dedication.

what the fuck is this shit, what is BO and why she has a painting as a portrait?

epic game podcat

I've been trying to do Republican Spain and every single fucking time the civil war breaks out and I assign the dogshit international brigades to an army group, so the cunts can sit on their asses in the mountains and repel fascist fucks, the AI decides to strat move every goddamn division, then bunch up, despite being given a front line that they need to defend all of.

Paradox might be dead to me now. It's absurd how bad the AI is and this game has now been out for years.

I can toss you Dark World Reborn Version 1.49 which might do the trick

With an empty file, I mean right-click, create three empty txt-file and rename them into tradepost.mesh, tradepost_diffuse.dds and tradepost_spec.dds. The launcher loads the mod after the game, so the trade-post models will be replaced by empty space. Apparently I killed regular trade posts in the process, but I know how to bring those back. I can upload the quickfix for you if you want me to.

While we're on the topic, what darkworld submods are worth it? For the record, I'm a coc fanmod tier degenerate

Just looked at wayback machine and it looks like it'll work so yes pls :)

What should i crack, Hearts of Iron IV or Victoria II?

Do as you please. I recommend you put the quickfix on Steam, because I use the steam workshop. It is up to you.

Movement speed of ground troops in Vicky II is waaaay too fucking fast and occupation too fucking slow. I get that the AI is retarded and this is a form of soft help but if the Ottomans have all their forces in Egypt they shouldn't be able to walk every troop they have up to Rumelia in the time it takes to occupy fucking Skopje or something.
Historically they didn't even have time to move troops from Syria without the use of ships during the Balkan war. But looking at examples like Russia makes it even more obvious how insane the movement speed/occupation speed gap is.

>no british province owned by France
Looks like it's time to add another strait :^)

Modding the trade posts turned out to be much funkier than anticipated. I can't remove that damn flag, and having a lone flag waving by itself is just as strange as the eastern trade posts. I'll check this another day, I need to sleep
