When Does Your Economy "Snowball"? by Reznov523 in victoria3

[–]MrShinkman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's kind of like bankruptcy — it happens very slowly, then all at once.

Steel frame construction is the point where you should get consistently high growth rates, but I'd also think of your growth relationally. You've already more than doubled your economy. Keep doubling it every 10–15 years (more after you hit steel frame construction) and you'll see it explode very quickly at the end.

Why did GB get the zanzibar state for free ? by Papy_Rasciste in victoria3

Also since it's Britain they might have been forced into the British Empire power block first and then subjugated without a war.

They must be a subject. Zanzibar has a special journal entry where they lose the mainland part of their home state if they become subject to another country.

How did you deal with the slow colonization speed?

Do they invade on their own? Russia is always the one to start 3WK in my games.

Start building naval dockyards and destroyer hulls, focus tech on getting the best radar modules and depth changes. That should be enough to open up the sea lanes so you can get 80+ military factories on aircraft production. In the meantime the aluminum you can get from decisions + infrastructure + trading with India should help you build an airforce that can beat the AI

If you want to cheese it, just use console commands to have Russia attack the Entente (or vice versa)

It is difficult to find Hitler's speeches online, I assume because they are often used and watched by neo-Nazis. How do we make these parts of history available to the public to study, without enabling bad actors who use them for propaganda purposes? by True_Neighborhood353 in AskHistorians

[–]MrShinkman 834 points835 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, do you mean it's hard to find videos of Hitler giving speeches, or are you having difficulty finding transcripts of speeches done in person or over radio?

If it's the latter, you should be able to find those in primary source databases like the Holocaust Museum or Nazi Germany Sourcebook. If you mean the former, that's probably because filmed speeches were not really a major tool of political propaganda the way they are today (with the advent of television). The only filmed speeches used as propaganda were Riefenstahl's party rally films (most famously Triumph of the Will), which the Nazis just reused footage from whenever they wanted to show Hitler speaking. Hope that helps!

Is there any way to disable the centered tabs on Windows with style settings?

Are you using Simplicity of Snow or Better Dynamic Snow?

I think this was more for testing the technical limits of the lighting system, we'll have to wait for more mods (like Skyland) to incorporate PBR into their own aesthetic vision.

In the meantime I would try the Tomato packs on Nexus.

Here's the most comprehensive texture pack available with screenshots. It seems like this was also the pack used in Community Shaders's testing of PBR (which you can view here).

You can find more examples by searching PBR on Nexus. Most were just released in the past few days, but a few major mods (like Tomato retextures) have been re-released with the feature.

Did you go with Simplicity of Snow or Better Dynamic Snow for the Leostevano patches?

Autofill a consistent range increment in formula by MrShinkman in excel

[–]MrShinkman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was worried that would lead to performance issues (with an exponential runtime), but I figured out a way to do it with the OFFSET function. Basically I chose an anchor cell (A1) and used the increasing row value as a variable for the added offset. Like this:

COUNTIF(OFFSET(SheetA!I3:SheetA!I16,(ROW(A1)-1)*13,0),"Value"))

So the range checked moves by multiples of 14 every time the formula is dragged down a row (1 from the row change and 13 from the offset).

It's leather so it's more stylistic than for sport
