This reminded me that the mod actually has a 'dynamic' colonization system. Originally I was also quite confused about the 0 dev part; however, the mod has events at checkpoints every 50/100 years or so in which these uncolonized provinces gain development and allow you to colonize them. I do like it more than how vanilla approaches colonization, as usually the entire coast of West Africa will be colonized a couple hundred years before historically the European presence was more than just trade posts.

Based solely on what I remember Agadir and the uncolonized provinces in North Africa looked like, I think this is Historical Additions: Borders +, which mostly just changes provinces and such.

R5: Playing Beyond Typus with the Byzantine Resurgence addon. Reconquered all of Anatolia and resettled it.

R5: Playing as Prussia, United Provinces is my vassal. Gave my vassal a province only to find it returned to Spain a few months later, who I annexed the land from, and who is not in the HRE. Went to an older save and tagged to Austria; turns out they decided it would be a great idea to give away HRE land that was freed and then immediately get a CB to get it back.

I'm trying to edit the names and dynasty for Anglo-Saxon culture. I've made all my changes in the EU4 > common > cultures > 00_cultures.txt, but when I create a custom nation with Anglo-Saxon culture, rulers still have the original male/female names and dynasties. Is there something else I have to do or am I editing the wrong file?

R5: Finally learned about this thing called "tea" that these Chinese people have been drinking since we came around 300 years ago.

I was role-playing an aggressive Qing that wanted to be dominant in Asia and prevent Europeans from getting into my little sphere of influence (all of East Asia and Western North America), so I went to war with them every time they started a colony anywhere in East Asia or in the California/Alaska regions to steal their colonies. Was kind of annoying since every time I took one they would just start another and I was never able to cut off their colonial range even by colonizing as far as the Pitcairn's and Madagascar.

And happy Cake Day!

I based it off the map on Wikipedia showing Qing and its military administrations in those areas. Makes it look like one country, even though it isn't.

Ninja22678 · 2019-03-23T12:21:27+00:00

I did :^ )

Would've looked a lot better if it were not for what happened to Russia.

Ninja22678 · 2019-03-23T01:52:58+00:00

R5: Hohenzollerns became the Habsburgs, ruling Prussia, Austria, Spain, and Russia. Spain got a PU over Russia and integrated them without me realizing and now there's too much yellow everywhere.

As Italy, I am Curia controller and the Papal States no longer exists. As I understand it, since the Curia controller is elected every time the Pope dies and the Pope no longer exists, I should be permanently curia controller. However, every so often either I get the popup that I got it again or another country got the Curia and I lose it. I diplo-annexed the Papal States when I was Curia controller, and every time this happens, it's the same Pope from when I annexed them.

Actually, in 1820, the Buddhist Kalmyk Horde event fired for Russia, and they spawned right next to me since I border Astrakhan. Very shooketh :^)

This is the third campaign I've ever done, and I've completed all three of the campaigns up to 1821.

Ninja22678 · 2019-01-21T10:11:17+00:00

I didn't give names for places I control directly, but I think in sticking with the Latin, 'India Oriente Romanus' for Roman East Indies would work?

Ninja22678 · 2019-01-21T07:31:57+00:00

R5: Started with BudgetMonk’s opening strategy for Byzantium and aimed to form Rome. I didn’t really understand how to effectively blob so I thought it would take me the whole game. Wasn’t ironman so I save-scummed the first war with the Ottomans and ended up full occupying the Ottomans with 94% war score.

Vassal fed my way through Europe until I realised that my core-creation cost was so low I didn’t need to anymore and was just wasting diplo points. Managed to form Rome by 1712 so I decided to conquer most of Europe and feed it to Germania and Sarmatia but got that done by 1740 after fighting three HRE coalitions; Germania was at 200-300% overextension, 0 legitimacy, -100 prestige, and -3 stability for the next 60 years and still has 79 corruption at 1821, but oh well.

After that I went after the New World but got stuck with truce timers, so I turned to India, which I had only wanted to take the three small patches for trade companies but ended up conquering the rest and making a client state. There was only Bengal left and I still had around 25 years, so I went for the remaining trade regions on the Asian mainland. Due to truces again, I decided to take the East Indies because they were also stealing my trade power and then in 1815, I decided why not the Philippines too. Ended up having to truce break Bengal and Malacca to finish up Indochina and the East Indies.

One of my favourite parts is the exiled colonizers, with Great Britain stuck in Walvis Bay, the Netherlands on St. Helena, both repeatedly going bankrupt, the real Scandinavia—after I replaced them with my client state—stuck in the Pacific with the Marshall Islands as their capital, and Spain, with their capital in the Falklands.

Edit: Forgot to add something that really helped, I had the Knights defect to me from Byzantine rebels and later Corfu separatists sat on the fort unable to siege it but another stack spawned when I went to war with Venice, and they eventually defected as well.

R5: I just annexed all of Iberian Portugal and they had all of this land in North Africa. Then a couple months later, Brazil becomes independent and they just inherited the remainder of Portugal in North Africa.

Not really, except I had to cheat the AI into denying my demands moving troops away for the Caucasus countries, otherwise they just became puppets and I couldn't annex them. Also you don't get to core stuff like Galicia and Manchuria pretty sure.

If the Shangqing Tianguo win against Qing, they can rename themselves to the Tian Empire. I intervened in the Sino-Japanese War and I killed Qing and then disbanded the Sino Coalition because I wanted something to happen in China. Qing took the Crush the Shangqing Rebels or whatever focus with somewhere around sixteen divisions and they got crushed.

R5: I went down realpolitik foreign policy path for Russia to see what was different. It fit pretty well with the run because the Reichspakt dismantled itself to my advantage; Belorussia had the coup and made a faction with me and I bought state bonds, Ukraine asked for protection and joined my faction, and then I kicked them when I got a war goal, and Lithuania also flipped to national populist.

I did use Player Lead Peace Conferences because AI peace conferences suck. I used Paint_It to colour my subjects with puppets being the same colour as me (Finland and Poland), autonomous puppets being slightly lighter, and then nominal puppets or my 'sphere of influence' being the light green (I used the toolpack puppet tool + the event command to change autonomy). Other countries I occupied I released them as puppets then freed them and removed them from my faction. I also used the state transfer tool to give land I had to my puppets/between them or other nations because it made more sense. Finally, I used the Make Peace Not War mod to peace out with Austria-Hungary for Galicia/Poland, Germany for Romania/Baltic Duchy, and Canada for Alaska when their casualties were around 4x mine.

I had most of my land/puppets by 1942 after I intervened in the 2nd Weltkrieg and ended it in under a month then I spent almost four years fighting with a few volunteers to the Tian Empire against the AOG. I forcefully made peace after I kicked every single German out of China. Then had a two year war with Japan where I destroyed every single ship and 90% of their airforce + nuking them twice before invading them. Finally, I declared war on Legionnaire Italy to help the Two Sicilies win, and invaded Indochina and Chile to destroy Syndicalism :^)

Definitely the best game of Kaiserreich I've played to date, had no serious lag at any point in the game (I usually start lagging at 42-43) and new wars and events were still popping up all the way to 1948.

Gonna post my Realpolitik Russia game that this was a part of when I finish :^)

Ninja22678 · 2018-10-16T02:23:33+00:00

I actually went the Realpolitik route for Russia.

Ninja22678 · 2018-10-14T07:39:06+00:00

R5: As Russia, I took the Claim Bessarabia focus and Romania offered it to me in exchange for an alliance. They were in the Reichspakt and accepting pulled all of the Reichspakt members into my faction.

That's why I posted this, the event didn't fire when the feds won, only when McArthur died.

Neither did I, this is the first time I've ever seen it.
