    The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    Unfortunately the Mod as it stands right now is effectively broken; something is causing the game to come to an absolute crawl in the Summer of '63, rendering it unplayable.

    Had a very odd occurrence while testing my Mod; either Belarus is extremely overpowered, or the game bugged somehow.

    Actually... both. There are now four divisions to every one division, and to compensate each of them has a fourth the manpower and equipment requirements. I've also extended the terrain Combat Width by four times as well. I have also tried making it so that a General can command forty eight...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    Just something I've been working on off and on. Ever felt like there simply weren't enough men on the battlefield?

    There are the Oil Wars (Egypt, Sudan, Iraq, Oman), the Congo War, the Iranian Civil War, the Malagasy Civil War and the Colombian Civil War currently. If by a major conflict you mean akin to the Afrikan War or the Indonesian Civil War, I don't really think that is in the cards unless the Afrikan...

    If the US recognized the Philippine Republic's independence instead of annexing it, would another country have colonized it?

    The problem with this is that the economic establishment in the United States was fairly adamant about securing the Philippines as a pathway into China, linking it to Hawaii and by extension the West Coast; I'm not sure to what extent this actually held in practice, but at least at the time they...

    If the US recognized the Philippine Republic's independence instead of annexing it, would another country have colonized it?

    The problem with this scenario is that it assumes that Aguinaldo and his cohort would be willing to accept the establishment of such a bond between itself and the United States as Cuba had found itself; Cuba was run by the United States for a couple years militarily before a Cuban government was...

    Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    The below was a result of trying to mold the Italian electoral system into one that would work with existing electoral institutions in the United States. In both the House and the Senate half of their seats were First-Past-The-Post and half were elected via National Proportional Representation...

    Victoria 3

    After having played around thirty hours, I'm honestly surprised at how bad it is. Whether it is the immigration mechanics (for immigration dependent nations), the warfare mechanics or even the economic mechanics, everything comes across as poorly implemented or poorly planned. I'm afraid that...

    Does anyone know how to edit a state in the American Presidential elections? Specifically, I am trying to do an RFK run, and I somehow managed to lose the election by (0.1%) in a single state, and I want to try and make it so that that State goes the other way in the election. Normally I would...

    Crusader Kings III

    Question for those who have played... how often have you managed to get a Court Poet? Despite playing over six hundred years of game I think I myself only had been able to appoint a Court Poet a handful of times.

    Crusader Kings III

    So I just wrapped up my first real game on Ironman, and I have quite a bit to say about the experience. First however I will display a number of relevant screens showcasing the CK3 World as it then existed in 1453; the only one missing which I would have liked to have posted would have been one...
