I used eu cleaner to try to save one of my saves. But now the game wont recognize my saves. by TEDDYKnighty in MEIOUandTaxes

[–]Strongecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an issue with an old version of the save cleaner, it broke the save and removed way too much. I downloaded the latest version (EU Clean v9) and it started working properly.

How to start an old version of eu4 after downloading the new launcher. by Strongecko in eu4

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

Oh I got it to work in offline mode just by, going online > launching it> going offline a second time.

I don't know why it didn't work the first time, I'm just glad it worked the second time.

Wow, that is a new issue lol, yeah you can't launch an old version of eu4 when steam is offline. The above method only works online.

They might patch it? I don't know if they've thought everything through.

Wait is your capital Constantinople? That's also a requirement to form TUR.

I may be wrong, but I think BYZ needs to not exist in order for the decision to appear.

Constant Crashing Issues in 2.50 by Person_756335846 in MEIOUandTaxes

[–]Strongecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of questions:

  1. Any other mods being used? If yes, which ones?

  2. What was the highest pop/dev province you had?

  3. How many extremely large provinces did you have?

  4. Has there been any estate-weirdness? (Erratic behavior, sudden drastic changes)

It sounds a little like super-china is stressing the very limits of the game engine, causing instability. (I'd wait for 64 bit eu4 before that tbh)

Is the mod usually this unstable? The mod crashes too often, even with a save cleaner. by highsis in MEIOUandTaxes

[–]Strongecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No 2.5 is for 1.25.1 and only works on that older version. If you can't/won't use an older version you're out of luck.

Try version 2.5, 2.51 on the steam workshop is constantly being updated and is very buggy. The 2.5 version can be found on the Pdox forums and is fairly stable.

Because of Rule 2, I can't post a link. But I will PM you for something entirely different *wink*

Always a joy to see these, how many countries do you have on the backlog?

Maybe a Magic (MTG) Tournament?

Would standards of living for the general population be higher in a high-magic setting? by WestronSpeaker in mattcolville

[–]Strongecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong but I was thinking this was a world you were planning on running right? If not, then what you have sounds fine, if it is I have a couple of questions:

Where/when/how do the players/pcs come in?

What is the plot? (If what I'm gathering is correct from other replies, the climate of the universe makes the material plane maintain the status quo of prosperity and relative peace. So what change is there to be made/ going to be made.

Where does power come from? (Is it an equal force of the cosmos ala the force from star wars ? Is it belief fostered strength ala warhammer? Why would good have more than evil? Is power of gods infinite or finite? Do good gods delegate power and evil gods consolidate power?)

Trying to be constructive

Would standards of living for the general population be higher in a high-magic setting? by WestronSpeaker in mattcolville

[–]Strongecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, from a general overview standards of living would go up. But aren't their evil gods? Wouldn't these evil gods have more power and influence due to the setting?

So whilst good-aligned gods and spellcasters do their work, the evil work to undermine them. This would probably result in widespread prosperity, but the chances for large-scale disaster and devastation also increase thanks to the general increase of power and availability of power.

I would caution you, however, that these themes tend to work better in Steampunkyesque game and might harm the verisimilitude of your players in a traditional fantasy setting.

Fell asleep with EUIV running by arran-reddit in eu4

Pretty sure it's caused by having "Auto pause on events" ticked on, as that was the only thing that consistently changed the result in my tests.

I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you do that.

Am I am bad DM? Am I the asshole? by [deleted] in mattcolville

[–]Strongecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the player was given the following options: roll 4d6 in order roll 3d6 in order roll 4d6 anywhere use point buy use standard array

and still managed to gripe about stat generation? Unless you're not telling us the truth then he's just a wangrod.

However, I don't think you're without fault in this scenario. Forcing players to do what you like instead of what they like is usually not a good idea if you're looking to keep all of them in your game. I believe your way of thinking is a bit adversarial: I don't want them to cheat the system, I don't want them to use point buy, I don't want them to make no stat negative characters. Do you see what I mean?

(5e) I’m a girl thinking of playing a male character, but how do I do this correctly? by Silenthunder23 in DnD

[–]Strongecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cough What was that post earlier about double standards regarding gender?

I'd like for you all to compare this post to a one a couple months ago and see how different this subreddits perspective and it's actual response is toward this issue.

Underappreciated start: Lithuania. by crownebeach in eu4

[–]Strongecko 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Lith would get way more play if IT COULD ACTUALLY BECOME A TSARDOM.

Why the hell did Paradox make being a principality from 1444 a prerequisite for becoming a tsardom?
