here are some of the dev diaries on it if you want to read it:

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/designer-corner-peace-conference.1523321/
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/developer-diary-peace-conference-roundup.1538768/

It just seems to be very very messy in implementation and has not done much to change the horrendous border gore you got in the vanilla peace deals

Just out of curiosity, my nation's lore is made based on a mega campaign that started in ckii and will now go to Vic, has anyone based its nation on the paradox games?

Not me, but the same desire to build my own fictional nation that led me to joining NationStates is the same one that drew me to Paradox games.

So I got a new computer today. I decided to test it by loading up Stellaris with all of the mods I usually play with. It took 20 seconds.

I used to have plenty of time to go grab a drink, visit the bathroom, and finish a chapter of War & Peace when loading on my newly old computer.

Communism? Not in my nationstates!

Breaking news: Emperor Sebastian Dean has become increasingly paranoid, accusing some of his most well known Anti-Communist advisors and officials of “socialist behavior”. | Our (Unofficial) Allies in Krieg have begun helping Rebels in the communist occupied Japan!

I pretty much wear my inspiration on my sleeve lol. I've put a lot of time into Stellaris so basing a nation off of my primary empire (and incorporating a few sub-empires) was kind of a no-brainer to me. It results in this nation being an amalgamation of all my play time. I've even worked some of my mods into the "lore."

Tried an Ethiopian campaign with the new DLC, lasted till around mid/late 37 before i was defeated by the Italians. Inflicted a lot of casualties though, about 160-170k on them before the end. For a while i thought i was doing well, was holding them back in the mountains to the north and the hills to the south, then i managed to get a breakthrough to the south and reached the coast but was unable to secure the ports, then i got pushed back and managed to counterattack and encircled a few Italian divisions, wiping them out.

But then i got pushed back in the north and new italian divisions arrived, mine were very low on strength and i just got slowly rolled back and was defeated at the capital. Tried to go down the emperor route and keep him in charge but wasnt sure how to properly handle the new political system they get and probably could have done better. Might do a communist italy run for a laugh next, or try Ethiopia again just to see if i can force the Italians to peace out and get the achievement for it.

Woohoo! Only took three tries. War ended in June 1938.

The casualties were:

Italy: 333k

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I've posted here, hasn't it?

I'm honestly really excited for Vicky 3's release and I'll probably buy it as soon as it comes out. Have I read ever dev diary? Nope, but I have read some of them to get the basic gist and besides, a bit of discovery doesn't hurt.

Anyhow, I have a slight problem:
So I'm continuing my OLD CK3 savefile from several updates ago (it actually works somehow) as the King of Frisia in the earliest start date (I believe I posted a screenshot of it a long time ago). So my chad custom-made God-King Alexander de Batavia FINALLY died at the ripe age of 97 or so and now his grandson, Thomas de Batavia, has taken over at age 51. I lost the kingdom of Denmark to a 0 year old child, but I can kill him so it shouldn't be a problem. Anyway, that is not the problem. The problem is that all my vassals now fucking hate me. I have looked and all of them have a negative opinion modifier, some of them are even at -100. So, how do I fix this issue? Do I have to try to make them actually like me? Or should I just murder all of them and replace them with people who do actually like me, like family members?

Oh yeah and before I forget: how do I improve my economy? I don't have godlike stewardship anymore, so I need to find a way to boost my income, preferably without removing men-at-arms or decreasing my court amenities.
Ditched my old signature. Will be making a pretty looking one when I find the time.
