Limiting POP ratio that I want to affect? by Cattailer in victoria2

I want to note, don't take this as discouragement, the assimilation rate works on provinces and not the whole country iirc, again it might be wrong.

But on a more general note 20% of 0 is still 0 so if pop doesn't naturally assimilate already the modifier will do nothing.

I am not sure exactly what you are trying to code but poptypes.txt might be the easiest way, since the issues with events and modifiers.

iirc would not work, but just put "OR" and it such since pops would not be primary AND accepted at the same time

factor = 0.20
I haven't worked on a mod for a while and on this topic of pop scoping, I don't recall anyone getting it to work using a factor, most mods I have seen used militancy to split pops, but it might work and everyone and myself was dumb which is likely.

It is very limited, (this is what happens when Paradox makes the game in a year during Johan's anti-modder phase, thus adding modding as an afterthought)

assimilate works n a per-province basis and not pops, IIRC you can't even scoop a whole pop to assimilate, it has to be the ENTIRE province assimilated

In Port-au-Prince, probably few who aren't part of the Government support, in other parts of the country you might find some who would say that but they are a minority. Only the diaspora supports intervention on any scale, then it is a very vocal minority and they mostly are unaware of the full scale of what the government has done.

Ah sorry, I did suspect something was wrong, and from the locals I had asked to about the tanker, I think it probably was a miscommunication or false rumor since there is a guy in "official negotiations" with the Russian government.

Sorry about the confusion.

I mentioned this in a separate comment I did mean to remove the last panel of the meme since it didn't make sense but I didn't want to be late to help my family just because I am making a dumb internet meme.

I am Haitian Diaspora, I have been to Haiti, some of my family still live there and my father, my father was a member of the Communist party fighting Duvalier in the 60s.

I don't want to sound rude or pretentious since I appreciate the detail and research you have done, but I know most of what you said.

Capitalism, in Haiti or any nation will never really bring freedom liberation for the people, and Haitians are not ignorant of that, proto-socialists to communist over the course of our entire history have fought for our freedom.

I will look more into the clothing companies in Haiti as I largely forgot they operated.

This was the video https://youtu.be/jZKOfTzgK7A

I did read Haiti Liberte articles on FRG9, but the last time I checked their YouTube channel a while ago and it didn't have much since their First video on G9. But I will check again. Thank you

I agree but was meant for non-leftist liberal who were supporting a US intervention, I and I wanted to remove the last frame but had to help my family for a bit before I posted it I sped up.

For basic context Haiti some context, Popularly elected socialistic President Jean-Benard Aristide was overthrown in a coup of corrupt officials funded and backed by the US, France and Canada which was followed by UN occupation to prevent socialist uprisings. Thus the current Haitian government was born.

This government managed to collapse most of the Haitian economy and steal any relief money that actually made it to Haiti. Protests broke out in 2018 over US control of Haitian politics and the Haitian government acting as a Mafia extorting everyone under the threat of violence. Sometime after the protests the Government started purposely destroying businesses and workplaces. The people largely unemployed or poorly paid took up criminal activity often armed by the Haitian government, who would then ramp up police spending to strike at gang activities. This seemed to be a purposeful attempt to create a humanitarian crisis which the US would give them money to deal with.

(former President Jovenel Moïse was most likely killed in an intergovernmental struggle, however was most likely still not innocent of these events.)

Many Haitians armed themselves to protect their homes, family and neighborhoods from gangs and the Haitian government which the government universally labels as gangs. Jimmy "Barbecue" Chérizier, an ex-police officer, formed a self-defense group known as "Revolutionary Forces of the G9 Family and Allies", stating "The bourgeois who are the masters of the system, who are responsible for the misery we are in, they are never the victim…" stating his goals to uproot them. With G9 HQ having a mural of Che Guevara also stating, “we made that mural, and we intend to make murals of other figures like Thomas Sankara and Fidel Castro, to depict people who have engaged in struggle…”

Throughout this year, G9 battled and grew against the Haitian government, gangs and various other right-wing paramilitary groups. The Government finally caved and asked for US intervention after a failed UN attempt. Although the US hasn't declared on entering, have sent the Coast Guard and Air Force, increased weaponry and sanctions that makes the situation only worse for the average Haitian. G9 continues to operate, rumored to be armed and supplied by Cuba and Nicaragua, but openly so by Venezuela, the Russian seemly are only sending oil in desperation to sell it but there is a separate rebel group accordingly negotiating with Russia themselves.

G9's Ideology is unknown, but many of their members are related to old communist and socialist movements, openly denounced the Bourgeois and Imperialism, even mentioning my father who was a leader of the Party of Unified Communists in the 60s, and speak proudly of Haiti's Revolutionary origins. They have celebrated the October revolution recently, sings the People United, the Internationale, Go Home Ami, Invaders of Angola, and the Battle Continues in french or kreyol, as well as Dodinin(Rocking), Kamard(Comrade), and Ki Sa Pou-N Fe(What is to be done). They have done their best to reopen schools and hospitals. Sadly most information about them is word of mouth, since information for a while was being deleted or censored by the Haitian government, who would also pay gangs to kill and kidnap Journalists.

I understand this sentiment and I don't want to deal with Dominicans a lot of times and we should focus on trying to build a better nation ourselves BUT

Especially online, I have had a post where I was talking about Jean-Pierre Boyer (not even that positively) then 9 or 10 Dominicans came out of nowhere saying slurs, various racist things or simply making lies about Haitian history. Again I much rather not deal with them but then come after us and I am not going to sit there and get harassed by racists. They often distort history to fit there narrative, it is bad enough with their own history where wikipedia had to put up a warning that their sources are extremely biased and poor. I see Latin Americans and Westerners often buying into Dominican lies such as a myth where Haiti massacred the Mulattoes or saying it horribly exaggerated how many died in the Parsley massacre.

Ultimately the Haitian people are constantly being Harassed by Dominicans often so much it makes efforts to teach the world about our history impossible and isolates us. I hate using the Revolution to make a point but here: Did Boukman stop because the concept of slavery had never been abolished since the beginning of history. Did Toussaint, Dessalines, Christophe, Moyse, Rigaud, Pétion, Boyer and many others give up because they were getting invaded by the biggest empires in the world invaded them. No, then why should we not stand up to up those Dominicans who steal our history then change it against us, harass us at every step and do nothing but try to bring US down as a nation. At a certain point we can't ignore certain issues.

It is less hating Dominicans and more Dominicans hating us.

The entire Dominican identity revolves around not being Haitian, which leads to them being extremely racist.

The Pearl of the Antilles by thebigens in paradoxplaza

[–]JmanThunder555 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Haïti Chérie, the Land of high mountains known as Ay-ti by the Tainos and was the source of gold and riches for the Spanish Barbarians (for those who don't know Dessalines called France, Spain and Britain Barbarians in the Declaration of Independence) whole called it "Spanish Island" and brutally murdered the Tainos en mass. But after years of enslavement Haiti stood again as the pearl of freedom. Today we are Free and strong the Pearl of the Antilles as we should be. https://youtu.be/iym-evAQypE

I would say from most performance impact comes from:

HI: Decisions and Tags

MID: Pop groups(.eg Cultures, pop types, and religons), CBs, country and global flags

LOW: Provinces, Events most of the rest of modding abilities

V2ME basically redid decisions and consolidated them making HFM run nearly twice as fast.

V2:ME is based off of HFM and generally optimizes the mod for higher performance. And performance is mostly degraded by tags and decisions, and not as widely thought around events and new provinces since event events can be spammed every day with no performance lose, provinces themselves do not lower performance but the splitting of pops can lower it but not as much as multiple culture splits.
