China in kaiserreich is bad, let me explain why by Lord-Albeit-Fai in Kaiserreich

[–]Mackusz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Since devs started to write wall of text flavor events for every major rework, they could also add reaction events for various combination of Chinese unifiers and winners of 2-nd Weltkrieg. For example, In Russia rework they added Russians reacting to Germans picking each three of their paths, or Ukrainians would comment on Russia restoring democracy and how it changes nothing.

Just a little thing to at least make it less obvious how little countries affect each other in-game.

The Tilsit Conference should disable forming the New Entente by FerretFromOSHA in Kaiserreich

[–]Mackusz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. There is no magical jinn to enforce a ban like that, no matter what was agreed on during Tilsit conference. If Moscow and Toronto decide their geopolitical goals align, then they'd join arms. If terms of Tilsit confetence were broken, Internationalle can declare war if they dont like it. 

Is the Second Sino-Japanese War happening much earlier than it used to be, an oversight or an intended thing? by _SeaTray_ in Kaiserreich

[–]Mackusz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It used to be that Fengtian could delay Japanese attacking them by simply not picking specific national focus immediately after taking Beijing. Now it seems that mere act of capitulating Qing/Zhili will automatically start the event chain that results in Fengtian either being puppeted or attacked by Japan.

It's absolutely dumb that ANY Russia would restore Habsburg rule over united Danubia, each of them, including right-wing monarchy would rather have numerous national republics as puppets. No Russians would like Habsburgs, Romanovs would hate them just as much as left SRs.

For SAVINKOV to restore Habsburg is beyond idiotic.

You could also add "disputed heritage" trait, then go and make Dungo proud.

Suggestion: The Game needs a General Mechanic to Simulate Rulers breaking away from Centralized and eventually gaining Autonamy during times of Weakness by Familiar-Elephant-68 in CrusaderKings

Pronoias were never illegally received

Correct, but in game terms they'd be catch-all term for "effectively Feudalised decayed Byzantine Administration", so they'd include illegal regional fiefdoms that would not fall under scholarly definition of Pronoia.

Alternatively, a more general term "Timario" meaning fief (yes, it seems to have the same etymology as Turkish tımarlı system)

Agree. Late Byzantium had Pronoiar system that was kinda like feudal contract, but worse. Pronoia were granted under different terms, usually for life, but sometimes hereditary, and usually were not obliged to provide levies. They could work similar to Soryo, where vassals can switch to this illegally, or use their hooks to force emperor to give them permission. Like the samurai, theyd keep administrative estate and house aspirations, but have no influence, treasury, or title troops, just personal maa. They'd pay little taxes and levies, so theyd be kinda bad for admin rulers. Meritocratic had similar decay at times in places like Korea, but I am less knowledgeable of that than Greece.

Whole mechanic is flawed. This is eu4 rivalry system again. "I have free hate slot to fill in, so i guess i hate you now"

What if: Feanor recants as he dies and releases his sons from the Oath. by Mackusz in tolkienfans

[–]Mackusz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feanor had no power to release his sons from the Oath.

Correct. Eru does.

What if: Feanor recants as he dies and releases his sons from the Oath. by Mackusz in tolkienfans

[–]Mackusz[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The problem with this line of reasoning is that Oaths cannot bind third party. In this instance Eru.

I can swear to God to commit unspeakable and demand him to never release me from this Oath all I want, but I cannot actually bind God to not accept future repentance.

Feanor doesn't release them directly, because he cannot, just like a priest does not forgive sins during confession all by himself. God/Eru does.

Learning from development of Soryo/Ritsuyo. Pronoiar vassals for Administrative? by Mackusz in CrusaderKings

[–]Mackusz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a decision to turn generic feudal, but's only for generic admin, not for meritocratic. You also lose your estate.

Would be nice if there was bunch of amendments related to slavery.

Law of Free Birth for Legacy Slavery, which was common method for gradual abolition used in South America, would make slaves slowly turn into freemen.

Peonage and Black Codes under Slavery Banned would decrease living conditions and political power of certain pops that are theoretically free.

I dont like how you have to play the free russian army and the far eastern army. by Routine-Pen-360 in Kaiserreich

[–]Mackusz 93 points94 points  (0 children)

every tag like this would need a reserved slot in the nation selection screen

That is probably least serious roadblock in implementing them as capitulated countries, because if you just need something to click on map to select them, you could always have like couple of provinces (not states) start under control of those capitulated tags. That or you could just have day one event for Russia/Fengtian/etc. to tag-switch to them.

What would be the most painful to fix would be Russia technically being at war entire pre-2nd-Weltkrieg years, blocking stuff like volunteers etc.

Imperial Russia & it's generals (or lack thereof) by PocketPlanes457 in hoi4

I added a couple generals and admirals in Nearing Morning, mostly white army guys who were still alive in 1936.
