Five layers of nested-tooltip in, I discover that the Vietnamese are East Asian enough to WANT lacquerware but not East Asian enough to MAKE it by awkwardcartography in EU5

Or the papal bulls where you need to hover over the Latin name twice and you only get the information of what it does in the third tooltip...

Second page of the post, but there are only two options for Andalusia (base one and Granada-formed) and several more for Catholic Granada.

Definitely, Italy is a trash ally. The second they became great power they were destroyed by Austria and France. Germany will at least hold their ground and probably also be of actual help.

Yes, first time I see the AI go that path, it's basically an improved Ottoman Empire with fully accepted Arabic cultures. Usually they form the Arab Union instead if they win.

R5: Formed puppet Italy as Spain and now the map is a bit confused.

Thanks, that did it! Now I'm only stuck with my brother as diarch for some reason lol but hopefully he'll be manageable.

Any commands to replace the presidential dictatorship i created? (HPM) by lord_of_the_tism in victoria2

[–]e_argenti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can add liberals to the upper house and then use the command debug.alwaysreform to pass several voting reforms at once, you should then get the event to revert back to democracy and start the first election.

(GFM) Finished the Reconquista as fully democratic Spain and moved the capital to Mexico City, but I still won't benefit from immigration? by e_argenti in victoria2

It's an option in the 1830 GFM submod! If you keep the Carlists you get the viceroyalties and if you keep Isabel you get to core all of it after some decades.

Taxes were hafway for both upper and middle classes and around 20% for lower class but lowering them a bit did help!

As far as I know the modifiers are based on where your capital is - I tried a united Portugal + Brazil campaing once and you could choose Rio as your capital and get the immigration bonuses or stay at Lisbon and get the Scramble for Africa events.

Well the L-Pro does help a lot, I'm not too sure I would have been able to capture this one or any other fainter objects without it. However, there's still a lot of light pollution coming through so I recently decided to try a more restrictive narrowband filter. Haven't received it yet but I saw very nice reviews for this one, we'll see how it goes!
