>>2130728>that fucking danube getting turned into a sea tile/tileswhy
>>2130728>recentlyNigga, there is a good chance this game is older than you
>>2130778So the royal navy can blockade Budapest, duh.
most recent one is thishttps://www.moddb.com/mods/the-komneniadhaven't played it but looks pretty kino
>>2131089Looks like temu Thrones of Lorraine, but I'm willing to give it a shot if it doesn't lag like ToL does
>>2131880>Thrones of LorraineWhatever happened to that mod anyway?
>>2131908it's dead.but there's a super railroaded DoD fan fork and it's kinda fun
>red ottomansabsolutely fucking disgusting
Don't listen to that anon.DoD fanfork is pure commie bullshit.
seek help
>>2132121>DoD fanfork is pure commie bullshit.Haven't played it but how?
>>2132488I don't know about the commie stuff but I've played it and the writing in the events and decisions is kinda ass, and some of it hard to take seriously. There's one path in the Belgian Confederacy with event choices that are just like "PILLAGE AND BURN HAHAHA" and most events for other countries are just Hoi4 mod TNO visual novel shit with purple prose.And it is really railroaded, like half of your playtime will just be waiting for events to happen so you can actually do something and the paths are prone to bugging out if you decide to practice free will and start wars on your own. Also it's based on Pop Demand Mod instead of HPM which is pretty annoying if you're used to vanilla DoD or other HPM-based mods.I really like how the setting is much more "historically plausible" than vanilla DoD but I can't recommend it for the aforementioned reasons.
>>2132526dod has always been based on pop demand, someone only made an HPM version many years later
>>2132526there are no good alt history mods
>>2132897False
>>2132897Napoleon's Legacy is pure kino
>>2130778It's called a Meme River. Normal rivers only give a 1 point crossing penalty so some mods add inland sea tiles that look like rivers so that you instead get a 2 point crossing penalty.
>>2132897trail of khans in your path
>>2133422it's 2ez4me
>>2133422Best version/fork to use?
>>2130728Someone should make a mod where you can see river crossings. EU4 has a mapmode built in where every province is colour-coded by terrain type and has thick blue borders for rivers. The province screen doesn't even describe rivers.
>>2132897Regular Divergences of Darkness is extremely good.
>>2133694I'm pretty sure one of the UI/map mods that the multiplayer tryhards use improves visibility of rivers, I don't know what the name of it is though
What happened to that early modern period mod that had RGO's working as factories ?
>>2133440>Meme Rivereverytime I see that term it reminds me of nurse reno's slayzer ranthttps://youtu.be/gRIqCRaTvYQ&t=378
>>2134141>Those Dutch bordersWhat the fuck happened Also>Complaining about game balance >That fucking GermanyWhat a fag
>>2134141So the winning strat was supposed to be just him retreating behind the rivers ? What are you supposed to do that after that if the enemy now has everything beyond the river occupied and entrenched ?
>>2132526>based on Pop Demand Modyikes. only hfm/hpm for me
>>2130728I'm working on a Total Conversion based on the CK2 Middle Mars mod. Almost playable I just need to re-do the States and then add some more decisions and events and testing.Otherwise the LotR mod is cool but still being worked on.
>>2132897Unironically correct
>>2132897>>2135518what would make an alt-his mod good?
>>2135540Big Germany
>>2135540>what would make an alt-his mod good?Drop the "alt"
>>2135540flavourfulno meme larping we wuzzingconstant updates
>>2135970this and based on HFM
>>2135992Is there any real difference to basing a mod on HFM over HPM? IIRC HFM is just HPM with a lot more flavor which means a lot more events and decisions that have to be removed/edited when making a total overhaul mod. Might as well just save the effort of changing all that and start with HPM instead.
>>2135970So GFM.
>>2136355gfm isnt alt his though and the historical flavor mods all have larp shit in them anyways
>>2136332yeah its just more flavour hpm
>>2136332yeah its just hpm with reddit bloat
>>2131089Has anybody played this one?
>>2130778Why not
I'm modding my copy of CWE to add more releaseables. What countries should i add?
>come in for mod recs>everyones just bitching
>>2134747Based Anon, keep us updated.
>>2130728Sucks there's no Anbennar mod for Vicky 2
>>2134747godog more like good dog
What else
>>2130728Not the OP but is Vicky 2 worth picking up? My main PC shit the bed so I’m stuck with a pretty dated Lenovo Thinkpad that can only handle old titles (Vicky2, Eu3 maybe, OSRS, MTW2, etc)
>>2139169If you like other older Paradox titles then you'll probably like Vic2 but it is still quite different from them and vanilla Vic2 gets boring pretty quickly because of the lack of flavor and certain repetitive strategies that are used on most nations (shit like the meta army stack, conquer Johore for lots of cash, conquer parts of China for lots of manpower, etc.)
>>2139169Just download the GoG version.
>>2138966Vermont should be releasable (since it used to be independent for awhile ) Maybe Newfoundland as well
why is it so hard to replay vic 2
>>2138966>great plains>great lake republics>western american states>free states of americaThese all seem made-up with no connection to any existing regionalist/secessionist movement (probably because they are) but I guess they had to be made for balance reasons or whatever.-Nevada outside of Las Vegas should be a part of Deseret. Most of Nevada was originally settled by Mormons and it was only during the construction of the Hoover Dam that Las Vegas became what it is today, outside of Las Vegas and the western parts that border California most of Nevada is still part of the Mormon corridor.-Idaho could either be a part of Desert or Cascadia since part of the state is in the actual Cascadian geographic region while it also has a lot of Mormons living in it.-Arkansas would definitely join any new Confederacy and aren't even part of the Great Plain geographically (they're in the Ozarks). Iowa and Missouri also aren't part of the Great Plains region, but rather the Ozarks/Midwest as well.-I don't really see Florida being part of New Afrika, they have a much lower black population than the other states in it and I could also see Florida being it's own country if they don't join a new Confederacy.-The Midwest, despite being it's own cultural region, is completely split of between these fake meme countries like the Great Lakes Republic, Great Plains, and whatever that light blue one is. All the Midwest should just be in it's own country called like "The Midwest Republic" or whatever.-The "Free States of America" should be renamed to the "Great Plains" since that's where they actually are with them getting the remaining states from the original Great Plains country that wouldn't be in the Midwest/Confederacy.It's like this Balkanized US scenario was made by some third worlder who knows very little about the US and just made up shit to fill in the states they don't know about for some US collapse wet dream.
>>2139336what this anon said >>2139252>vanilla Vic2 gets boring pretty quickly because of the lack of flavor and certain repetitive strategies that are used on most nationsa lot of nations are basically unplayable and for those that aren't you'll just be doing the same thing that you've probably done on a bunch of other nations.compare that to EU4 for example where a majority of nations have their own individual playstyle
>>2139365>It's like this Balkanized US scenarioNah. Its just me adding more realisable countries to CWE. Free States and Western America were already part of the mod
so did all the open source v2 projects fail or something?
>>2138966Use the colony casus-belli followed by the colonial migration decision.Dixie america by 2070.
>>2138394Cascadia
>>2138394Kekistan
>>2140381I see now that you already have it. Add Picardy idk
DoD is just the best alt-history mod for any Paradox game.The setting is interesting, the nations are mostly balanced, and it's just fun.It took most of the cool "what-ifs" from the time period of Europa Universalis and bundled them together into it's own world. I had a lot of ideas myself for Vic2 alt-his mods based on my own reading of history and gameplay in Europa Universalis but every time I start worldbuilding for that timeline I realize that Divergences did it better, the few alt-his ideas I've had that don't fit into DoD's world are either extremely implausible, take place before EU's timeframe, would require me to make up or extrapolate a bunch of shit, or just wouldn't be fun/balanced to play.The only interesting point of divergence I can really think of to build a Vic2 alt-his mod off of that hasn't been done in DoD or other mods would be if the Polish-Lithuanian-Muscovite Commonwealth was actually formed although that would likely just result in the Triple Commonwealth becoming the geopolitical equivalent of OTL Russia. But there would be interesting opportunity for conflict like nationalist revolts from Russians/Ukrainians and other nationalities in the Triple Commonwealth. It's also possible that there would be either less or more eastward expansion, as the Triple Commonwealth wouldn't have to worry as much about defending the west, but at the same time Polish centralization might not be interested in settling lands to the east.Germany/HRE would also likely be very different with no Prussia and a very strong eastern neighbor, along with Sweden being much weaker after being unable to expand into the Baltics. This would likely result in a Catholic victory during the Thirty Years' War, maybe leading to a more centralized HRE that is able to persist until 1836, although I imagine there would be lots of separatist sentiments among the Dutch and protestant and liberal Germans.
