Paradox Games III: Is being evil a valid cacus belli?

[Herargon]

Try putting 'break SCA' (I assume you are playing as Scandinavia) into the console. The rebels have practically won anyways

Won't that make every single possible releasable country break away, though? Never tried that command (but now I feel the destructive possibilities, hehe).

And yes, you are correct. Scandinavia 1911.

Don't. Instead, use a cheat which changes your government type to communist.
Only do it if it would be realistic, such as in your case where commies occupy everything but the capital.

event 23111 - Reform to Monarchy, Laws by Decree
event 23112 - Reform to Presidential Dictatorship, Laws by Decree
event 23113 - Reform to Proletarian Dictatorship, Laws by Decree, One Party
event 23114 - Reform to Constitutional Monarchy, HMS Government
event 23115 - Reform to Presidential Dictatorship, HMS Government
event 23116 - Reform to Democracy, Parliamentary, Multi-Party System
event 23100 - Socialist Revolution (Proletarian Dictatorship)
event 23101 - Liberal Revolution (Democracy)
event 23102 - Conservative Revolution (Presidential Dictatorship)
event 23103 - Reactionary Revolution (Monarchy)

`break` just makes every top-level rebel automatically enforce their demands.
For countries to break away, they'd have to form a rebel faction first.

So they did. bez is kill rip in unfinished ns mod

Also, Sweden can only be attacked once. That is if you form Scandinavia and Prussia decides to want your Holsteins.

Well Prussia can soundly fuck off its my Holstein. I hate Prussia in Victoria 2, the blood that was spilled to keep them down as France, Never Forget.

You might say that . . . *puts on period-accurate monocle* . . . France endured.

Indeed it did, and when my campaign came to a halt, the French tricolour flew over western Germany, Switzerland and Northern Italy. And the French Fleet dominated the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, and its industry was unmatched, we were the strongest power in the world.

France... did endure.

What about Byzantium in Eu4 anybody like playing as them?

[Lyannesia]

Let me selflessly advertise my AAR

From Omsk to Petrograd - An Ufa Directory AAR

An exciting Russian Civil War AAR in the WWI scenario of Darkest Hour, from the side of the White Movement!

Passion!

Suspense!

Killing Bolsheviks!

I've done them twice.

By the time you get strong enough to stand on your own, everyone else has already formed mega empires. It's tough - and it doesn't get easier.
In my most recent game (1.12) I ended up with a PU over Russia. So that made it easier.

A nation that is supposed to die in nine years should not get so much more flavor than some other, more important and interesting nations. That's just my opinion.

After all, isn't Byzantium supposed to die for the Renaissance to take place anyway?

Eh. The Renaissance was already under way by 1453.

Historically speaking, yes. However, by 1444 Byzantium was so far gone that whether or not they nominally still existed was irrelevant.

Of course, Byzantium suddenly reviving and taking over all of the Balkans and Anatolia would definitely set the renaissance back a fair bit.

wait...wat?

Eh. The Renaissance was already under way by 1453.

To be fair, the massive influx of Greek immigrants, mostly scientists and philosophers, after the capture of the Constantinople was what kickstarted the Italian Renaissance to such massive heights. It may have had some similar things before, but not at such scale.

[Washington Resistance Army]

wait...wat?

That's... odd. How exactly did that happen?

No, Romestronk

It will, just you wait.

Also, the economic alliance between Venice and the Ottomans let the Silk Road, for the first time, stretch all the way from China to Italy. This brought even more money into Venetian coffers, allowing them to spend more money on arts and science.

wait...wat?

That's... odd. How exactly did that happen?

Popeman called for a Crusade for Andalusia, which was ruled by the Almohad Empire at the time. The crusade was successful, and somehow the Republic of Pisa ended up annexing the recovered land.
So...Republic of Andalusia.

[Max Empire]

Byzantium doesn't need to die. The Renaissance started in the 14th century and ended in the 17th (Wikipedia). Byzantium's defeat gave the Renaissance it needed to develop Humanism and last till the 17th century.


Also, it's pretty easy. Get an advisor that boosts diplomatic reputation (Restart if there ain't one) and improve relations with Poland and Lithuania(If Poland doesn't PU them). Insult and embargo the Ottomans so they attack you and Poland+Lithuania will do the rest.

I suppose.

Sorry, I'm not very knowledgeable about the Renaissance. Didn't much pay attention in my Humanities class during high school.

How to Roman?

My favorite way to play Byzantium, ATM is with the Third Odyssey mod. But I wanna know how to for realsies Rome.

I noticed at my Japan play that the Paradox developers seem to love Japan so much. Too many unique events for such nation.

Update to 1.12/whatever is newest, tis awesome! I like the Forts and Development stuff (even if I don't have Common Sense myself) I've been wanting to play Japan in EU4 and now I have a good reason to, I want those events.

Apparently, 1.13 just come out, tweaking Common Sense somehow. Yes, Japan seems to have a lot more events and immersion than some Tier 1 nations. Have fun playing as the daimyos to unite Japan.

One thing I'm really excited in Common Sense is the Development, now you can change the once-destined tax and manpower of your provinces.
