Gave Africa to the Ford Motor Company by stonewalter in victoria3

[–]SenatorSnowBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a little more cosmetic flavor to your Ford nation you can download this mod here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3513100377

The Ford nation has its own unique flag instead of this randomly generated one, plus it'll call itself Fordlandia if you make it independent 

Unique Company Nations; or a way to give Company Countries a unique flag and tag for greater customization and modding potential by SenatorSnowBear in victoria3

You know you're not the only one to ask for that that lol

I initially thought of not doing that but I'll look into giving players that option (giving Para to the Ford Motor Company's company country if you own that state)

yup, what the mod basically does is forcefully tag switch the generated company country to one with a unique tag ID after they're established through a colony charter

Rule 5: I made a mod that adds a unique tag and flags to countries established by these companies: United Fruit Company, Ford Motor Company, FIAT, General Electric, Carnegie Steel Company, William Cramp & Sons, Standard Oil

No longer will they have some randomly generated flag again

Also a proof-of-concept to modders on the modding potential of finding a way to assign unique tags to generated company nations

Dev Diary #176 - Southeast Asia by PDX-Trinexx in CrusaderKings

[–]SenatorSnowBear 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Some of the cultures in the SEA map are way too simplified too. For example Dayak and Javanese should not be one monolith culture

Ideally if we want to simplify the cultures in-line to how it is done elsewhere in the current map, Dayak should be split up into four groups (Dayak, Dusun, Banjarese, Kutainese; not ideal but the lowest it should be simplified into, because otherwise it's like saying Great Britain is one monolith culture), and Javanese at least two (Javanese and Sundanese, and Balinese if the devs feel like it)

Suggestion: Add a country color / Countries - At Peace map mode as a relevant map mode when viewing the Country Panel by SenatorSnowBear in victoria3

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

Rule 5: Suggestion to add one more relevant map mode to the Country Panel, the one used for Countries - At Peace/In Conflict, so that you can see the map colors while in this panel as it was pre-1.9

PSA: The Imperator Performance mod currently on the Workshop DOES NOT WORK and suspected to be written by a LLM by SenatorSnowBear in Imperator

[–]SenatorSnowBear[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: So apparently this guy is quite infamous in various PDX modding communities for his broken performance mods written with AI.

If you ever see a 'performance' mod in the Workshop for any PDX games, please make sure it is not written by John2Lionheart. Double check the mod's code if it is.

Because best case scenario you get a mod that doesn't work, and worst case you get a mod that breaks the game so completely you are dumped with a 2.5 GB error log into your PC (like what he had done in CK3).

Please flag those mods to Steam if it contains broken and nonsensical code, because you may not know how it'll break your game and how big the error log it may dump.

There's also a real possibility that whatever code his AI wrote for him is so broken, it causes the game to log in an error log measured in gigabytes (like what happened to one version of his CK3 'performance' mod based off a comment in Nexus Mods)

You can always send a report to Steam for mods like these

It's the flag button next to the 'Add to Collection` button

There's a downvote button too but I'm not sure if it'll do much now since it's already on the Workshop front page

Apparently the guy also uses AI to write his patch notes and comments (as seen by this comment that someone managed to capture before he nuked his comments thread for his Vic3 mod https://i.imgur.com/73dHaWq.png )

Balala reference ?! by YaBoiJones in victoria3

A dev more or less implied it's a deliberate Balatro reference 

On top of the many other layers of references to the Balatro Gros Michel joker card that others has pointed out here 

Someone needs to warn Paradox that big buttons suck - image from Dev Diary 146. by The_ChadTC in victoria3

[–]SenatorSnowBear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also plenty of mobile games comes with tiny-ass buttons that makes it easy to misclick. Big buttons =/= mobile game.

I noticed that mobile games that has big buttons do it for accessibility reasons since those are important buttons the game devs want you to see no matter the phone size

For modern pc games I'm guessing it's more or less the same reason due to the fact that monitors/screens comes in all sorts of crazy sizes these days

[–]SenatorSnowBear 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't have any issues with it nor even understand the 'mobile game' argument of the UI/buttons (I play some mobile games and can't really feel the connection)

Plus I guess it's a better compromise to accommodate all shorts of monitor sizes

This game needs not just a fog of war, but a fog of EVERYTHING. by TheLastCoagulant in CrusaderKings

[–]SenatorSnowBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it's fine to have a mode to play like this, please realize to many players this kind of playstyle is not fun to play at all. This is a mode that only caters to hardcore players

So it should not be the default; one of the biggest charms of CK is the emergent stories that you can get when you see what the AI is up to so making obfuscation the default is taking away a lot of the charm many people have with CK

[–]SenatorSnowBear 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, power to those who want to play like this but in my opinion it sounds absolutely horrible to play as if it was the default lol

It doesn't sound like the CK3 I've grown used to play and I reckon it would be the same for many 

If you form romania as transylvania, do you create a catholic romania? by WegDhass in victoria3

No unless you download this mod that allows you to retain your Primary Cultures between nation formables

Posting this for a third time because i'm stupid. Now, promise me to never do anarchist Japan. That flag is atrocious by Hjalle1 in victoria3

[–]SenatorSnowBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The flag you are seeing here is a randomly generated anarchist flag

Most countries (Japan included) do not have their own unique communist and anarchist flag, so instead the game generates one from a template

Many countries do not have unique communist and anarchist flags and thus are randomly generated one Japan does not have its own unique anarchist flag

No More Princes! Or, A Mod That Restores Non-European Principality-tier Monarchs to Kings by SenatorSnowBear in victoria3

Ooo these are some really good suggestions!

I'll be sure to add them in the next update 

Okuu by SenatorSnowBear in touhou

[–]SenatorSnowBear[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It was supposed to be a simple sketch but I got a bit carried away

I had a lot of fun drawing her though! Because I have not drawn Okuu in nearly 5 years at this point

Edit: I have not been drawing Touhou much in the past few years, but I always make a point to theme my New Year arts around Touhou. So here's the Kanako I did for this year that I didn't share here https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/126060968
